MAY BE CANADIAN RULER

What to do with the duke of Connaught
brother of King Edward VII, is one of Great
brltains ever-recurrent problems. The latest Of
the rumors affecting him connects his name with
the governor-generalshp of Canada.
The reported intention of Earl Grey to retire
early this year has given occasion for conjectural
selections for his place. None. it is said. would
meet with more general approval throughout the
empire than the designation of the duke. For
one thing by reason of Connaught's relationship
to the king. 1t would consolidate that Imperial
partnership" which 1t is felt would make for
the closer union OF Great Britain with her domin-

STATES AND WATER POWER.
New York Times.

Secretary Bailinger points out in
his annual report. that upon the L.
100000 acres covering waterpower
sites Withdrawn from the public do.
main, in the West, the States which
contain the sites own the watefs in
the streams. They exercise, too. the
police powers that are necessary ser.
vice corporations Which would derel.
,op electric energy from the streams.
The federal government, which has
always held tho public domain in
trust for the States, now denies its
trust and asserts ownership Of the
sites. The. Western States are dis.
honest or weak: they cannot be re-
lied upon to administer properly fresh
grants OF tho national resources to
their citizens. In federal eyes all tho
States, In fact, are dishonest or weak.
The States, concededly. have tho
police powers and the waters. The
government at Washington lacks both,
but wlthholds the sites, and asks the
States 10 give UP what they have OH
the ground OF their unworthiness. ~
Is very pretty quarrel as 1t stands.
Meanwhile a means of great wealth
TO the people is locked up.

The rapidity with which this

that there had been anywher from two

mines. II :, itfi..F
Just as quickly as they arrived at

mine, which Is about a quarter Of a
