CIVILIZATION BY CLOTHES.

During the centennial celebration in
the City of Mexico next September,
the poorer classes of the population
are to enjoy the advantages of a
thorough course in the etiquette of
civilization. BY order of an all-wise
and benevolent government they are
to be initiated into the sacred mys-
teries of store clothes. For a whole
month no poems are to be permitted
to appear in the loose cotton shirt
and drawers and big straw hat of their
class
Thus only are backward races lifted
to higher planes of prosperity and en-
lightened. Passionate reformers will
testify on their consciences that never
until the plains Indian sheds his
blanket and dons the blue overalls of
commerce will he change his moral
nature, and free himself of original
sin. The African chief. stove-pipe hat
and bandanna, becomes an object OF
awe and dignity to his tribe and the
equal of the European trader in bad
rum and Birmingha iron idols. There
is no hope of redemption for the pa
gans on Greenland's icy mountains and
midas coral strand unless they learn
to wear respectable toys, like the truly
civilized nations of the world.-New.

DIPLOMACY AND BUSINESS.
The activities of President Taft's
administration IN dedIlnS Win 1nLeTnd-
tiona1 affairs have been directed with
conspicuous success to practical ends
rather than to the discussion of the
purely legal and technical problems
which arise between nations. While
adding. to the sum of International
good will and harmonious understand
ing the director of our foreign affairs
under this administration has been
able to bring about very tangible and
uncommonly valuable results. which
have enormously enhanced the pos
sibilities of our foreign commerce.
The American exporter today is in
a more favorable position than he has
been at any time, perhaps. since the
establishment of the republic. He, can
sell abroad with fewer restrictions
than ever before. and he enjoys more
privileges and advantages in the way
OF favorable tariff treatment by for
eign countries. He is enabled by
reason of the skillful diplomacy of
President Taft and Mr.. Knox to do
business on better terms than ever be-
fore in France Germany. Austria,
Italy, Spain. Russia, japan, China,
Canada and throughout Latin America.

STRANGERS TONGUE LASHES
WOMEN AT FEDERATION
Sneers at Rich Sisters Who Had
Scored Suffragettes
(special to The Heraldl

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Dec. l.
A sensation was caused at the Wom-
ems Federation meeting this afternoon
when a woman, a stranger, replying
to an -suffragette address by Mrs.
Edward Roberts, indulged in stinging
personalities Mrs. Roberts had stated
that in a recent visit in London she
had seen a suffragette enthusiast,
dressed in velvet though claiming to
be a millhand, and thought that her
dress belied any existing grievance.
Given three minutes to reply, the
woman, in forceful but excellent Eng
lish, declared herself New England
millhand, recited the poverty and hard
ships of her class, saying many a
woman had even to sell her soul tn
lustful men for bread, and" vehe-
mently declared the speaker, fixing her
flashing eyes on Mrs. Roberts, II have
never been like some bankers wives,
who can trot off in fine raiment to
Europe"
The suffrage topic had been fought
with warmth, but this brought an cleo
trio climax, the session closing in an
uproar.

FOSS MAKE NEW
ATTACK ON LODGE
Governor-EIeCt of Massachusetts
Vigorously ASsaiIS Record
of United States Senator

PROVINCETOWN, Mass, Dec. l.
The speaking term of Governor elect
Foss, against the return of Henry Ca
bot Lodge to the United States SEN
ate began here tonight.
In beginning his address, Mr.. Foss
said the verdict of the people of
Cape Cod in electing him to congress
last spring, "sealed the doom of Can
nonism," compelled the national ad-
ministrG lion to seek reciprocal trade
relations with Canada; caused Sena-
tors Aldrich and Hale to abdicate their
seats in the senate, and gave the coun-
try at large the first real hope of tar
ife revision.
Speaking directly Of Senator Lodge.
Mr.. Foss said:
working on in silence and secrecy,
he resorts to his self-constituted po-
litical machine, the machine which
has dominated Massachusetts, poiti-
cally for years. He is seeking the
counsels of those whom he serves, the
Privileged interests, and has ignored
the verdict of the people. He has
ignored the fact that he should repre-
sent the people and considers that he
by the representative of special in
terests, believing that their indorse-
ment is all-sufficient for him"
Mr. Foss assailed Mr.. Lodges rec
ord in the senate, contending the sena-
tor was hostile to reciprocity with
Canada, and had killed the Hay Bond
reciprocity treaty with Newfoundland.
what legislation in the interests of
the people bears his name?" asked Mr..
Foss, who answered his own question
by saying, "only one bill that L re-
call bears his name, and that is the
Force bill-a measure that causes
every honest man to blush"

.ELOPERS LIVE IN
MOUNTAIN CAVE
Youngsters Forgiven After They
Discard Civilization for
Sake of Love

NEWARK, N. j., Dec. La Verne
Tallman, 18 years old, and Beatrice
Sanders, same age, were married to-
night after a romantic adventure. For
six weeks they lived in a cave in the
Catskill mountains, having left home
because their parents would not con-
sent to their marriage.
The bride is a member Of pros
porous New York family. Her hus-
band is a drug clerk. They fell in love
last summer and when permission to
marry was refused, they fled into the
mountains with what little money they
had They found a cave, which they
furnished with cheap rugs and rustic
furniture.
Tallman shot rabbits and caught
fish. The girl fried them in an old
pan they found in an abandoned camp.
Cold weather drove them from their
mountain retreat in Yonkers. The boy
got work as a driver, but lost his place
and the couple were in the railway
station last night trying to keep warm
when a policeman arrested them on a
charge of vagrancy.
The girls parents promised, on
learning of her whereabouts, that there
would be no further opposition to the
marriage and the couple returned to
Newark.

BALFOUR'S PLANS
SPLIT HIS PARTY
ON TARIFF ISSUE
English Opposition Leaders Pur-
pose to Submit Question to
Referendum Causes Alarm
LIBERALS GAIN ARGUMENTS
Winston Churchill Has a Special
Guard of Detectives During
Speech at Dundee
LIBERALS GAIN ARGUMENTS
GAssociated Pressl


LONDON, Dec. 1.-There is a possi-
bility of an unexpected result in the
attempt by A. j. Balfour. opposition
leader, to remove tariff reform from
the immediate field of politics.
The question looms larger than ever
in the campaign tonight, so that Mr.
Balfour himself, In a speech at Read
Ing, was fain to explain that his party
had not altered it's views on this sub
ject, and that tariff reform was still a
chief plank in the partys constructive
policy; but he explained the Unionists
needed to obtain the formal and eX-
plicit consent of the people thereto.
The policy of referendum, he said, was
consistent with the true idea of pop
ular government.
ARGUMENTS FOR LIBERALS
Balfours pronouncement, November
49, that he was willing to submit tariff
reform to a referendum, has rather
sundered than knit his party and has
supplied the Liberals with another ef
fective argument against tariff re-
form, namely, that Mr.. Balfour has
been compelled to sidetrack it.
Interest in the speeches tonight cen
tered in Premier Asquith's reply to
Balfour at a meeting in Wolverhamp-
ton. The premier said:
I'VE are living in times of rapid
movement, when it is a relief to wake
any morning and not find some fresh
part of the constitution reconstructed"
He described Mr.. Balfour's "about
face" on the question of the reform
of the house of lords and on tariff as
unique almost indecent"
Speaking on the referendum, the
premier said that after a study of the
working of the system in foreign coun-
tries he arrived at the conclusion that
1t had proved a most unsatisfactory
and disappointing method of ascer-
tanning public opinion.
Winston Spencer Churchill, home
secretary, addressed several meetings
at Dundee tonight The home secre-
tary had a special guard of detectives
to protect him against suffragist at
tentions.

COMMITTEE EXTENDS WELCOME
Scarcely had the ships dropped
anchor in the outer harbor before a
chartered launch, bearing the local
committee, went alongside the Asama,
flagship of Admiral Yashiro. The COM

were met by Admiral Yashiro and his
two principal staff officers, Lieutenant

the reception committee comprising

The Wrangell sentinel., 1910-04-21

It just makes my blood boil with indignation, as it does all true Alaskans, to get to talking about Alaska's treatment at the hands of the government, l. is little short of an outrage that men who have spent the best years of their lives in the North, developing the re- sources of the country, adding something real and tangible to the wealth of the nation, cannot secure coal even to heat their houses, to say nothing of coal to develop still further the natural resources. The government takes position which makes it appear that we are at tempting to steal something when We try to secure coal claims. Even the men who have made Alaska the valuable possession it is, get noth- ing but the worst kind of treat ment. ''-Martin Harrais of the Panama.

A PROMISING OUTLOOK
The latest word from up the riv-

The latest word from up the riy- CT is better than ever, and shows conclusively that thz reports of a gold strike in that region are bona fde. Elsewhere in this tissue of The Sentinel you will find the lat est from the field telling of the find ing of more precious metal on the headwaters of the Whiting river, fully forty miles from that report ed in last weeks Sentinel, on the Nahlin. This means that the find is an immense one, distributed over a territory large enough for thousands of men to delve and find their fortunes in. II upholds the judgement and the faith of the men who have stayed by that country showing that that region, instead of being worked out, has not even been prospected as get and that the future holds in store for 1t aI great promise.
