More than two pounds of brain food

THOSE APPROPRIATIONS

Ever since his position as chief of the Tory lobby called him from Washing ton back to Alaska Gov. HOggatt has been ringing the changes on the amount of the apprODratiOns this Dis trict got from the recent congress and all of bis spologists have been bragglng about it, and, with him. they have been setting 1t forth ss conclusive evidence that Alasks has an "tdeal government"
 We will pass over, for the time being st least, this acceptance of that degen- crate standard Of statesmaushiP which regards ability to get good grab at the federal treasury as the chieiesb mark Of excellence in 8 representative at the national capital, howbeit this same standard Is one that is eating at ths very 7itaIs of our nation. We will consider only the question as to who put up the money appropriated to us.
 The items of which Gov. HOggatt brags and which make the sum of the uDoroDriatiors Of this District run into respectable figures are those for roads and telszraphs, The former amounts to s.5O,OOO and the latter to 5l9O,OOO. Both are made up from moneys that have been collected from Alaskan people and those doing business with them an addition to taxes such aS are required from Americans residing else. where than lu Alaska.
 The road appropriation is just a small part of more than sI.OOOOCO that have been paid by the people of this district into the federal treasury in occupation taIes-More than $500, ,OOO Of which is still there, drawing interest lot us hoper for the future Territory of Alaska.

NoN-PARTIzAN DOCTRINE

John Temple Graves, the Atlanta edi- tor who created a sensation 8 couple Of weeks ago by by asking ". J. BryaD to place President Roosevelt in nOmIna- tion for president aJ the next Demo cratic national convention, has beeu creating much talk since that PronuncL smieuto. He has spoken atChicsgo, New York and other places and everywhere be has caused talk, Mir. Graves is preaching 8 doctrine of uon-partizan- ship. He is urging thd people "tO put the parties on the sheli'' for just one campaign. Be thinks they are getting tired this battle of one organization against another under conditions which make the organizations the instruments of whatever interests that succeed in capturing them.
 EIr. Graves says he askedMr Bryan to take the liberal course and name Presi- dent Roosevelt to be the Democratic candidayg5 because, as a Democrat, he would have DO right to make 8 request of President Roosevelt to nominate Mir. Bryan in the Republican convention. Re ssys he would be equally well Satis- fed with the one as president as with the other
 While the country may not be ready to follow Mr. Graves there are many who agree with him on the situation far more than those politicians who scoH at him imagine.

THE PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE

A meeting of the stockholders OF the
Shreveport Progressive League was
held Friday night To disband or not 10
uisband was the issue. II was agreed to
continue the good work. 1t was made
plain by Mr. Brueggerhoff that the
League could be made to live and grow
lat without employing a secretary from
New Orleans at a fancy salary. During
the course of It's existence the League
has employed several very high-prlced
men, but all these proved 10 be failures,
notwithstanding the salaries paid them
with unfailing regularity. Promoters TO
be successful must be practical. There
is no need of going beyond the limits OF
Shreveport to secure a man who Will do
better work than gentleman from
abroad at a fancy salary.
The Caucasian could give the League
valuable pointers from practical eNpe-
rience. 1t is not the bird of loud plum
age which is valuable for practical uses.
If Shreveport can not furnish as good
man for the League as ever came from
New Orleans. the League should quit
business. 1t is to be hoped the League
will be continued in activity. 1t may be
valuable in the future, more valuable
with Shreveport man of experience
than a stranger filled with theories.

Will cross west Of the Rockies country
about 80, great central valleys February
west Of Rockies about February ;, the
great central valleys 4, eastern states 9.
This disturbance will cause great
and general rise in temperatures, which
Will average high till about February 10
and will bring the highest temperatures
OF the month The weather features of
intenSitieS about January 80 west of the
Rockies and February or oHt on the
Atlantic The cold wave following this
storm center is not expected to be Sc
we're and precipitation Of the week COW
cred by the disturbance will not be
great. The middle part of February will
be unusually cold, while the first and
last weeks of the month will average I'M
usually warm.
About and following January 10 a
great cold wave is expected to spread
out over nearly all the continent causing
very cold weather and averaging much
below normal till end of January with

The next bulletin will give general
forecasts for February Crop weather of
1907 continues to look bad in parts of
the great grain growing sections. Get
all the corn you can at a fair price and
hold as much of that cereal as oircunl-
stances will permit. | do not speculate
i'll any of the cereals and therefore my
advice is not biased by any selfish in
tereSt.
The Springfield (Ohio) Gazette of
January published a weather forecast
test made at Jacksonville, Ohio, in which
Profs Benton and Baker and Henry
Nawman were the Judges. The forecasts
of the United States Weather Bureau,
those of Prof Snayely of Springfield,
and those of W. T. Foster of Washing
ton were made the contestants. The
Weather Bureaus forecasts were made
one to thirty-six hours in advance those
of Prof Snavely one to seven days in
advance, and those of w. t. Foster from
one to thirty days or more in advance.
The judges reported as follows: All |
these forecasts to date were remarkably |
well verified with few exceptions; but |
Foster seems to lead because of his long |
range forecasts If these forecasts should |
continue good as these were we could |
soon rely on knowing our future weather |
to a reasonable certainty
Evidences are cropping out tending to
prove that the Weather Bureau officials
are losing faith in their ability to make
long range forecasts, but they seem to
see the necessity of giving their short
range forecasts a little longer in adj
vance. They are to be congratulated on
having been convinced that the public
demands longer in advance weather
forecasts.

THE BOIL WEENIL.

During the weeks of summer temper
ature in this section of the world, the
boil weevil has been visible, having been
routed from his state of Information.
According to the theory of experts, the
weevil can not live beyond three weeks
without feeding. The weevil basking in
the sunshine of an extraordinary spell
of splendid weather is about to be nipped
IN the bud by the wintry blast which is
at hand. The weevil can not stand ex-
IRENE changes of temperature, and mil
lions of these pests must perish. Taking
this view of the situation, the summer
like weather experienced throughout the
district infested by the weevil may be
a blessing in disguise. Such is the en-
couraging view of the boil weevil in the
perspective as given to The Caucasian.
