Faith of Children in
Many Friends

"HE American Magazine for Feb
ruary contains an account of a
little three year-old girl who has
almost as many friends as Presi-
dent Roosevelt has correspondents
Aside from taken-for- granted friends
like father and mother, she enjoys
affectionate and confidential relations
with the following: The black man
with the white fur (this being her
description of the old silver haired me-
gro who cleans the steps across the
way), the doctor of divinity who slides
her up and down the railing every
morning, the pigeons, the squirrels the
statues of Everett and Washington in

1t is a blessing that little boys and
girls have neither the time nor the in
telligence to grasp the meaning of the
Atchison Globes wise remark: The
reason children think they have so
many friends is that they never need
them And there is no harm in re-
peating the remark in this very con-
nection. for If the children should get

Gossip of the Doings
of Railroad Men

The Southern Pacific engineers In
charge Of the work OF turning the
Colorado River into its old channel are
hopeful OF accomplishing the work

been dumped in. Yesterday the dump
ing was progressing at an average of
5000 cubic yards during each twenty
four hours The second or parallel
trestle viii be completed by the last of
this week.
The delay in opening the bids for the
construction Of the Western Pacific
from the State line to Deeth, New, 323
miles, was explained yesterday by w.
j. Shotwell of the Gould lines as having
been due to the contractors who did
not wish to take any chances. They
asked Chief Engineer Virgil g. Bogue
for the adiNonal time so that they
could look into the matter more care
fully. The contractors said that the
increased cost OF material, the higher
wages to laborers and the difficulty of
securing men was to be taken into
consideration. and that more time was
needed to study the contract.
The hotel men in the southern part
Of the State report that though the
business at present is somewhat
smaller than at this time last year the
bookings are far in excess of the
previous season. The winter has been
comparatively mild in the East and
tourists have delayed their pilgrimage
in the West is the, explanation offered,
but the hotel men are confident that
when the season closes it will be found
that the coast has done as big busi-
ness as in former years.
II. c. Bush, trsfiic manager of the

Press Comment on the
Jamaica Affair

Any American who is reasonably fa-
miliar with the colonial history of his
own country does not need to be told
that the average British governor Is
q self-centered and self-sufficient des-
pot That British colonial
governors have not changed in tenn
perament and habit of thought during
the last century and a quarter is shown
IN the episode at Kingston.
We may resent Swettenham's boorish-
ness. but we cannot conceal from our
selves that he could not have snubbed
us if we had not given him the OPP
portunity.-Chicago Chronicle.
There was failure, either real or sup
posed, to give due recognition to the
gubernatorial authority. At least there
was disregard Of the Swettenham idea,
namely, that at all times and under all
circumstances, whether i'm stress of
cataclysm or amid the dire ruins of
seismic quakings, the one thing to be
kept clearly in mind was. that one Sir
Alexander Swettenham was and is Gov
ernor of Jamaica-that the lace and
the braid and the dignity of the Office
are his and the fact is not to be over
looked. Luckily for the world
the Swettenham brand of dignity is
rare.-Portland Telegram
Alexander Swettenham. Governor of
Jamaica, had rare opportunity to
make a spectacular, international ass
OF himself and promptly seized it.
Truly, Alexander Swettenham
is rare bird. He sought distinction,
and he won it. He is now famous
throughout the world. lie has added to
the gayety of nations, but should not
be permitted to disturb their harmony.
lie viii not be a cause of war between
Britain and America.-Sacrament Bee.
Governor Swettenham will discover
that by swelling up he closed a big
door or opportunity for the homeless
and stricken people of Jamaica. SWEET
tenham is bigger fool than Thomp-
sons colt, and We are not sure that an
apology is not due the eolt-Woodland
democrat
For thousand exhibition of official
pomposity and downright aslninlty
commend us to this gentleman, who has
gone out of his way to insult Rear
Admiral Davis who hastened to the re-
lief OF the stricken city at the command
of President Roosevelt, and carrying
supplies voted by the Congress of the
United States. What miser-
ably small men sometimes creep into
positions of grave responsibility only
10 make themselves ridiculous when
men OF large caliber would instantly
rise to the on!-Philadelph In
quirer.
The attitude OF the Governor of ia
maica toward the prbffered assistance
or the American navy will be read in
this country with mingled amazemenk
and amusement, but the keen sense of
humor possessed by Americans must in
the end triumph over their natural in
dignation at the churlish ingratitude
or Swettenham. But ii is a
mistake to take Sir Alexander SWEET
tenham, K c. M. G.. seriously. What
is there about tropical islands that
makes ii the most natural thing in the
world for them TO have comic opera
