Brown sugar is still used by many
people. Those who do use it know
how difficult thing it is to keep it
from Jumping, which it will invari-

dry atmosphere. The best way to
keep brown sugar is in glass pre-

An authority gives the following
directions for successfully dyeing
feathers. He says: First wash the
feathers thoroughly, then prepare a
strong solution of dye and keep dip
ping until the desired tint is OBJ
tanned. Ostrich feathers should not
be boiled in the dye. Dry with an
old towel, then cover the feathers
with dry starch. Allow this to re-
main a short time, then shake off
and apply more starch. In a few
minutes shake this off, and If proper
ly dry hold over a moderate fire (not
too close), shake out all the starch
and curl with strip OF whalebone. F"

THE BIFURCATED BURG OF
BRISTOL.

The business Of being a bifurcated
burg involves a good deal of free ad-
vertising for the town of Bristol, Tenn.
and Va, but it also necessitates deal
of embarrassment in the conduct Of
municipal affairs. For a long time the
Tennessee half Of the town has been
dry and the Virginia side wet. The
other day the Virginia moiety of the
town held a special election on the
booze issue, and the result was so close
that the court was appealed to for a
decision which side won.
Now comes the story Of the postof-
fee fight; the only one in the country
in which Congressman from two States
get mixed up. For number of years
Postmaster Warren, a Tennesseean, has
read the picture cards and sold the
stamps 20 the town, both Tennesseeans
and Virginians He was n constituent
Of Representative Walter Brownlow,
the champion job-getter Of all Con-
gress.
The Virginia side of the town is
represented by Congressman Slemp,
who, like Brownlow, is a Republican.
Slemp has decided that the postmaster
ship ought to migrate for awhile over
to the Virginia side of the dead line
and so he has brought out and is en-
Enthusiastically backing a candidate for
the place.
Ordinarily, in such a case, the Post
office authorities might be expected to
put the office where it would help
some But nobody needs any help, in
this case, for both the Brownlow and
the Slemp districts are Overwhelmingly
Republican. Postmaster General Hitch
cock is rumored to have a leaning to
ward the Slemp man; but the Tennes-
see side Of the town is mp in arms over
the possibility Of a change Of this sort,
and the situation Is developing some
most unusual complicat tons.
Tt seems that Representative Brown
low especially needs the office at this
time, because the constituents who
have long kept him in Congress are
showing alarming symptoms Of dispo-
sition 90 unload him. The difference of
opinion Mr.. Brownlow had with Presi-
dent Roosevelt some two years ago left
him in bad shape with the Roosevelt
forces at home, and Postmaster General
Htchcocl's decision in the Bristol mat
ter is expected to indicate in consid-
cradle wise whether the present Ad-
ministration viii take mp the Old
grudge Meanwhile the inter State
city is in more kinds Of divisive trouble

PROBE INTO ALASKA COAL
CASES TO co DEEP.

Whatever view may be taken of the
decision of President Taft with respect
to the charges of Louis r. CLAWS
against certain officials of the Interior
Department. including Secretary Ball
niger, it is gratifying to read the an
nouncement that a thorough investi-
cation IS going TO be made into the
question of title to vast coal areas in
dispute in Alaska. According to the
official announcement, there is to be a
real probe into the Cunningham coal
land eases as wei as others. No i'm
mediate decision is to be given and in
dications are that the real facts are To
be brought to light.
The Administrations decision 10 this
effect is a wise one. The properties in
volved are of enormous value, amount
ing by some estimates to billion dol
lars and even more. The coal supply of
the whole Northwest for years in the
future may 60 into the hands Of con-
scienceless combinations if the Interior
Department does not give sharp atten-
ton TO its business. Not only this, but
there may come time, with the Pan
anna canal open. when Alaska coal will
be in demand on the Atlantic coast and
in the Eastern part of the United
States.
The public ia concerned in having this
Alaska coal question thoroughly illum-
mated and if there are any dcrbts they
should be resolved in favor of the
Government. II may be remarked that
If the CLAWS charges serve TO do moth
ing else than 10 compel closer atten-
ton 10 the vast coal properties in
Alaska and other mineral properties
there, which private interests are seek
ing to monopolize, they VIII have been
worth the cost to the man that made
them.

POLE-HUNTING AS A MERE
SPORT.

Whatever may be the outcome of the
controversy about the Pole, one thing
has been pretty clearly shown. Reach
ing the top of the world had become
more of a sporting proposition than
anything else. Exploration and scen-
tific investigation had been sacrificed to
the gambling spirit Of a great race
And the actual winning has been char
acterized by all the noisy and unsavory
features frequently connected with
sporting events. Men who devote
themselves physically to overcoming
physical obstacles seem to develop, by
an almost necessary psychology, a
spirit of conflict and determination to
win that often overreaches itself
In fact. the last years of polar ex-
pioration have seen the idea of a big
Marathon to get there first loom larger
and larger. Equipment and men were
selected with this idea, and the pos
sible practical benefits forgotten. Yet,
meanwhile, science has seemed content
TO let this region alone. They, and
we, have known that the Pole was
there, and reasonably likely to remain.
There was also a lot of water and a
lot of ice. These facts have been veri-
fed We trust that our explorers have
gathered other valuable data, but thus
far there Is scarcely a word about fora
or fauna; nothing on terrestrial magne-
tism or the cause of the aurora bore
ais; and the origin OF the Eskimo is
shrouded in bear skins and a chill
silence.
We do not underestimate the
achievement of the goal sought for cen
turtles. We feel patriotic pride that
an American displayed courage, skill,
and determination enough to get there
first. And the achievement itself is of
value. Both men have given inspiring
examples of what man can do in his
struggle with nature. But there has
been too much Of the dramatio ard
spectacular. Compared to Columbus,
what has either man done except win
a racer The controversy has NOT been
profitable: a commercial attitude IN
tainted the whole thing; and thus far
science has Ieaped little benefit. With
out detraeting from the glory of any
man, we regret some of the things we
have not gotten.
