FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.

In all portions Of the world great
attention is now being given to the
development Of water powers, for 1t is
realized that the fuel supply may be-
come exhausted. Writing from Mu-
Mich Consul General T. w. Peters, tells
OF the work that is being done by the
Bsvarian government towards utiliz-
ing power sources in that country. The
government is especially anxious to
develop the power sites so that 1t may
electrify the railroads which are gov
ernment owned and operated.
The report OF Consul General Pet
ers shows that the government has
already adopted conservation policy
such as has been proposed for the
United States.
"In 1906 and 1907 law regulating
the utilization Of public streams, lakes
etc, was passed. Another law, which

propriations are allowed, is now be-

MISPLACED SYMPATHY.

In an article in the Chicago Record
Herald William E. Curtis, the celebrat-
ed correspondent, made criticism Of
the government for having driven the
Nez Perce Indians from Wallowa
county. 1t is an oft heard plaint that
the government has not treated Poor
Lo" properly. But Indians do not
need agricultural land. They are not
farmers and will not farm to any ex-
tent when they do have good land.
This fact is shown upon the Umatilla
reservation. Though the local IN
dams have good land they would
rather rent it to white men and de-
vote their own time to riding, fish
ing and hunting. Had the government
found for the Umatillas, Cayuses and
Walla Wallas home more suited to

UP TO PEARY.

1t is very natural that in the con-
troversy between Cook and Peary the
bulk of public sympathy should be
with the former Throughout the
controversy DR.. Cook has followed the
most dignified, sportsmanllke course.
He congratulated Peary upon having
reached the pole and made no at
tempt to discredit Pearys story. He
merely told of his own exploit and al
lowed Peary to do likewise, leaving
the public to judge between them.
on the other hand Commander
Peary before having heard Cooks de-
tailed story, pronounced Cook an i'm
poster. In this connection Peary may
be right. But the circumstances un-
der which the charge was made gives
the impression that the accusation
was prompted by unreasonable ieal-
ousy. 1t is only natural for people
II regard Cook as the best witness as
to what he, Cook, accomplished in the
way of discovery. He says he was at
the north pole and he should know
His story will have to be accepted un-
less it can be shown that his data was
faxed" The burden of proof is up
on Peary and his friends. Until they
show that Cook is an imposter he
should be regarded as the first dis
coverer of the pole

MIST Learn Foreian LANGUAGES.

In almost every European country
army officers are now required tc
know other languages besides their
own, and In every case the same in.
stitution. originally American. the
Berlitz School OF Languages. has been
selected for this purpose by the vari
Gus governments. In England. Brig
Gen. w. X. Robinson o. the Aldershoi
command, through army orders OF this
year. ordered the lessons to be given
by the Berlitz school at the Salaman
en- barracks. Wellington Lines.
In Germany, by order OF the kaiser
lessons In languages are given by the
Berlitz school at the Kriegschule In
Potsdam. In Russia the lessons are
given by the st. Petersburg school
and Judging by the fact that several
Japanese teachers OF the New Yorh
Berlitz school were transferred to st
Petersburg for that purpose. the Jap
snese language will be one of thu
most important In Spain the Berlit,
school in Madrid has charge OF the
courses OF the officers. and the kinp
himself is one OF the most Interested
pupils OF that school. France, Aus
tria. Italy. Turkey and others have In
trusted the task also to this school
which teaches languages only and In q

THE SCHOOL ELECTION

The school election today brings with it the usual heart burning and bitterness which we think might be dispensed with on an occasion which has to do only with the betterment of the youth of the city. A very large majority of the voters, a large majority even of the factions which are contending the most fiercely are sincere in their prOtestations that what they are doing is the best for the schools. They are all good, pub lie spirited citizens. and we should think that they could bring them selves together in so noble work as that of upbuilding the schools.
 It is fortunate that the opposing elements have put forward such ex- cellent candidates, as they have, for the trusteeship. which is to be filled today. Dr. Dameron and Mir Wilkinson are both deeply interested in the cause of education, both are gentlemen of good judgment, and we believe. that neither shares the bit terness of feeling which animates so many Of his supporters. 2

SOME MORE OF THE LEGISLA-
 TURES WORK.

The legislature appears to have so jumbled matters, in respect to special elections, that the lawyers have been called in to see if something cannot be done about it.
 On the face of things it appears to be impossible to hold a local option election or an election under the law relating to the Tempe bridge project.
 The trouble lies in the new law re- quiring that there shall be a re-regis- tration for every election, general and special, but it makes no changes in the times for giving notice of, begin ming or closing, registration.
 So, there must be notice of regis tration published for. thirty days. Presumably the registration cannot be begun until after the expiration of the period of publication. The regis tration must close twenty days be- fore the date of the election.
 In the case of the Tempe bridge and local option, the election must be held, not earlier than fifteen days. and not later than thirty days after they have been called. Therefore, the registration cannot begin until the day of the election, if the latter is set for the latest possible date under the law.
 If it could be ruled that the regis tration might be commenced simul- taneOusly with the beginning of the period of publication of the notice of it, there could be only ten days of registration, for it is plainly required that the registration must close twenty days before the election. 1t is preposterous to suppose that the notice Of it could begin to be pub lished at anytime before the calling of the election.
 Thus again it is shown that the legis- lature was too busy, with the private schemes of the caucus, to make survey of the general field of legisla- tion to ascertain what the effect of this bill might be upon that The twenty-fifth legislature has plainly left business for the twenty-sixth to perform.

MARKET HELD FIRM
 BUT LITTLE DOING
There Is Inclination Neither to Sell
 Nor Buy.

New York, March 26.-The dullness of the stock market was accentuated today but the character of the market was little changed. Reaction is post poned in spite of a running demand and from this it is inferred that there is no inclination to sell stocks. The demand remains however, at a very low stage. Interest today centered chiefly in a few low grade stocks and the movement in these had no other reason so far as revealed than in sus- pected operations in pools in stocks. The Gould group was unevenly strong. Money on call today was loaned below recent privilege rate and time loans also were easier. Estimates of the currency movement indicate that the s6.300, GOO gold exports have been more than made good by the receipts on balance on the interior movement and by gain on subtreasury operations. Bonds were firm. Total sales SS.652,- GOO. United States bonds unchanged.
