resentation, and Alberto Yoacilam,
secretary Of the legation. is twiddling
his thumbs over q featureless job and
wondering how long the position will
last.
The disappointment. however, was
notAentirely confined to Chile and its
diplomatic circles that the raising of
the Chilean legation TO an embassy
and the sending of an ambassador to
the Chilean capital. would mean a
general shake-up in the United States
diplomatic service and consequently a
number of promotions. 1t was generally
conceded that the post of Chilean am
bassador would have gone to Herbert
G. Squiers, the present minister to
Panama, for his record practically en-
titled him to the new BERTH had 1t
been created,
But all this does not console those
who are disappointed by the hoped -for
promotions in the diplomatic service.
Chile is not the only one that is sulk
ing.
The first general transfer and pro-
motion in the consular service as the
result of the new rules governing that
branch of the government has been an
nounced. There are almost 200 cases,
most of them not important but 9th
ers decidedly so. Most of them affect
men who have been in the service a
long time and have earned recognition
by their work. 1t is the beginning of
a new regime in the service and will
tend to make it more of life career
and less of a political grab bag.
At the end of this month the trans

About the Limit

A newly married couple came ln 3
hotel where we were resting and asked
bow much 1t would cost to get two
bowls Of boiled rice and milk and
were informed that the price was Is
cents per portion. The groom pulled a
small package wrapped in a bit OF
newspaper from his pocket and, open
ing 1t, displayed about a double hand
ful OF rice, which he said they had
gathered from their clothing after the
shower which followed the early morn
ing wedding. He inquired how much
would be deducted II they furnished
their own rice and upon being inform.
ed that no allowance could he made be-
came Indignant and remarked that
they would wait until they reached
home for their dinner rather than sub
init to such unfair dealing and left the
place. The proprietor said that the
young man owned one Of the best
farms In the town and had established
quite famous reputation locally for
economy. although that Is not exactly
the way he expressed it-Forest and

lowell Got His whaok..

In his volume on the practice Of d.
plomacy John W. Foster relates an IL
Illuminating anecdote concerning James
Russell Lowell when he was our min
lister at Madrid. At a royal reception
Minister Lowell, in plain evening dress,
was preceded up the palace stairway
by a minister from Central America,
gorgeously appareled, wearing a jew
oled sword, who was saluted at each
landing by the magnificent haIberdier
with a heavy whack OF the battle ak on
the marble pavement. As Mr.. Lowell
wore no insignia OF Office, he received
no attention. At last, his patriotic
blood boiling. he addressed the halber-
der in excellent Spanish, do you
know who l amT 81 don't" "Well,"
said Mr.. Lowell, II am the minister
plenipotentiary Of the United States of
America, the greatest nation on earth,
and II you don't whack the next time
pass you l will forget you at Christ

ARE BEST RESULTS oBTAINEDs

The Press is In accord with many
of the sentiments expressed by cor.
respondent in Saturdays issue re.
gardinR school affairs. While the
correspondent may not realize the
fact that in these days athletics are
considered q necessary adjunct so an
education, just as the scars OF the
old Roman soldier we're considered
mark of high honor, there is some
truth In his arguments. Whether
athletics are, or are not, necessary to
an education, and whether the school
boys Of today show higher physical
development than did their fathers,
does not matter so much. A reason
able amounnt Of athletics can do no
harm and may do some good. The
sports are a part of the present day
school system and must be recognlz-
ed; but there Is no necessity Of car
rying them TO excess and plunRing
into debt which requires entertain
ments. dances, basket socials, and a
dozen other schemes to raise funds
for liquidating the debt.
We agree with the correspondent
that too much Of the time OF Iha pu-
pills seems 10 be taken up with matters
outside Of the school. Their minds
are on other subjects than their
studies and we are not surprised that
those who pay Is mills In taxes to
support the school want more study
and less play. No people are taxed
heavier than those Of Occur d'Alene
for school purposes and they are en-
titled TO the best. II they are not
getting II, as the correspondent seems
TO think, they have a right to insist
on change In conditions.
We believe the schools are In q
fair condition, jet there are many
complaints along the lines suggested
by the correspondent, and there must
be some reason Tor them.

The frantic efforts Of Senator
Graves to pass his bill through the
Washington Legislature shows more
than an interest based solely ON the
public good. It looks as though the
senator might have personal fear OF
publicity. Fortunately for the pub
lie his bill met deserved defeat. At
tsmpts to muzzle the freedom Of the
press are NOT popular with the public
and usually have q sinister motive
behind them.

AT PORT OF SPAIN
FLEET SPENDS ITS
CHRISTMAS MONEY

Port of Spain, Dec. &C. The
American torpedo boat fiotilla sailed
yesterday for Para en- route to the Pa
cific after a delay of twenty-four
hours incident to the repair of dam
ages done yesterday when one of the
pre- pellers of the Whipple fouled
the anchor chain of the collier Fort
una. Yesterday was holiday on all
ships of the American battleship
feet. All the big armor clads were
dressed and decorated for Christmas
day celebrations. The regatta was
the big event of the day. Between
six and seven thousand American
blueiackets were on shore this after
noon. The behavior of ;he sailors
has been excellent.
The holiday spirit prevailed on the
American fleet but was more
like celebration of the Fourth of
July than that of the Christmas the
men had known in colder chimes.
Decorations there were in plenty and
wreaths of holly and evergreens
swinging that had been brought along
to keep alive remembrances of the
day. There were special dinners in
the messrooms for the officers and
turkey and other good things for the
men. II was not given to the men
Of the torpedo boat fiotilla to spend
Christmas ashore. for early in the
morning with flags flying and firing
a salute to Admiral Evans flag float
ing off the main truck of the battle
ship Connecticut, they steamed away
to Para, FIVE days journey. Yesterday
not less than six or seven thousand
bluejackets were allowed on shore
and they entered into the spirit of
merry making with the towns people
whose geniality and hospitality have
known no bounds. The feature of
the festivities was the regatta in
which many of the battleships had
crews. Admiral Evans with his staff
watched the struggles of the competi-
tors from his launch.
