NEAR-ALASKA OYSTERS

Some of the niftiest looking oysters that have ever come down the pike have just arrived from the Queen Char lotte islands. At first glance one might be pardoned for claiming that each is about as big around as horseshoe. Anyhow, these oysters will renew one s youth, and stamp on one's countenance the smile that won't come off. So far as oysters are concerned Prince Ru- pert promises to become the Baltimore of the Pacific slope and Queen Char lotte waters it's Chesapeake bay Prince Rupert Empire.

There is going to be some trouble in
finding accommodation for all of the
children of school age who will be eX-
pected to be in school after the 18th
of September. The present school
houses will be overlooking, and there
seems no prospect in sight for getting
additional rooms added to many
schoolhouses which had been eX-
pected.
Superintendent Pope, of the School
Department, is confronted by this
problem at the present. time. He had
expected that certain additions would
be made by the county to schools at
Waipahu, Waterfowl, Waialua, Aiea,
and other places, and he has made
tentative appointment of teachers to
fill these rooms, which now do not
seem to be forthcom ng These in
stances are only a few of similar
cases, and altogether the Superinten-
dent would like to appoint some fifty
odd teachers to relieve the crowded
conditions of the schools, which he
will be unable to do unless more ac
commodations can be found
Before leaving for the Cost Mr.
Pope states that he wrote to the
Board of Supervisors about the mat

ments needed, but that the communi

cation was not acknowledged, and so
far as he can learn no action has been
taken.
The Legislature provided for new
schools to be built from the loan fund
-s133.OOO for this county alone, but
this amount is divided between five
large schools and nothing is available
for additions very badly needed in
many places. Generally only one or
two rooms are needed, and in most
cases the cost would be light. The

tend to such matters, but they have

ability to pay teachers, for the Legis-
lature provided that the Department
may employ one teacher for every 80
pupils enrolled during the previous
year, and an additional teacher for
every additional 35 pupils enrolled
after June 80, 1911.
Superintendent Pope states that il
will be impossible to get on this basis
for probably several years, for the rea
son that school rooms are lacking
and that the appointments of teacher!
are based on 40 or more pupils to one
teacher. He hopes that ultimatel!

that the size of classes may be ma

Sunday morning about two
O'Clock the residence known as
the old Bayers home was COM
pletely destroyed by fire, which
is supposed to have caught from
a defective f1ue. The house is
about three-fourths of a mile
west of Arvada and was out of
reach of the fire department.
The place had recently been
purchased by Mr.. and Mrs. AL
deson and it seems they had
built up big fire before retiring.
They were sleeping soundly and
were only awakened by the heat
and parts of the building failing.
When they were aroused enough
to Chamber out of bed they found
the fire had cut off their escape
through the door and they were
compelled to pick up such clothes
as they could find and jump out
of the window and rush to the
barn nearby to dress. Forum
ately they were sleeping down
stairs or they would have been
burned to death, as it was Mr..
Alderson's clothes caught fire
and he was compelled to roll in
the snow to extinguish the flames.
Not a thing was saved except
the clothes worn. The house
was insured andin all probability

them as they had been here only a
few weeks and they have the
sympathy of the entire commun-

w. C. ~. Notes.

We read last week of the pro-
spective removal of the Boulder
brewery to the southern part of
the state. 1t is not asceticism
or fanaticism which makes us
say we are glad it is going. What
about labor and capital? We
grant that it may throw a few
men out of work for a time.
Capital? Blu siness? Savings
banks? 1t makes room for more
legitimate business. The state
of Maine which has had prohibi-
tion for more than fifty years,
shows a larger per capita savings
deposit than any other state in
the union. North Dakota with
its six months of cold weather,
has still the greatest wealth per
capita of any state in the union.
And prohibition Kansas. How
you used to laugh about Kansas.
But we all know about the Kan
sas farmer and his automobile.
Best of all the removal of the
brewery from Boulder is silent
testimony to the fact that prohi-
bition does prohibit. 1t is hard
to defeat the enemy with an army
of one third traitors. We may
hate the saloon and deplore the
effects of drink, but we will
never do much until we get our
eyes open.
Did you ever tell your wife to
shut her mouth? How much
would you give her to keep still?
Well, the brewers have offered a
million dollars to have the women
of Kansas keep still. In other
words the brewers have pledged
amillion dollars todefeat women s
suffrage. We have known SO
many from Kansas and they are

zens. That will be great. She

The State Editorial Association
of Kansas on February IA, passed
some very telling resolutions; we
quote in part: "As an associa-
tion that is non partisan and .one
that is in touch with public opin-
ion in the state, we depreciate the
movement outside of Kansas to
thrust upon its people a foreign
political issue in the proposed re-
peal of constitutional prohibi-
tion.
'This association is practically
unanimous in support of the law
and desires to express to editors
of newspapers and magazines in
other states the fact that a fair,
comparative study of conditions
here and elsewhere will prove
that Kansas has solved the IL
quor problem, and that recent
magazine articles tending to dis
credit prohibition in. Kansas do
not in any sense describe gen
eral conditions nor the settled
judgment of the people of this
state.
Nothing impresses me so much
about this temperance reform as
the eternity of it. 1t goes on and

Fortune no doubt smiles upon

England, as you know, for
more than year has been greatly
agitated politically. AS in the
United States, here there are two
great political parties, the Liberal
and the Unionist. The former
is the outgrowth of the old Wing
party. On account of the liberal
and broad ideas of progress
adopted by this party, it was
given the name Liberal. 1t is a
singular thing that nick-names
given a party by its opponents
often come to be the official name.
For example the name Wing
comes from Scotland where the
driver urged on his horse with
Wing! Whig!! Whigamore!!!
By the Wings the opposing party
was called Tory after a band of
Irish brigands and rascals. To
day the Liberals are called by
their opponents, RAIDS" or Rad
iicals or ReuolutiAnas-ias--Ta
present day Unionist party, the
Tory party of old, was for long
time known as the Conservative
party or the party in favor of
very accent on the very slow
progress.
When Gla d tone in 1885
brought forward his great
Home Rule Bill for Ireland, he
was strongly opposed by the Con-
servative party and by thousands
within his own, the Liberal.
Notable among the great men
who left the Liberals and-for
many years broke their power, is
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain who
perhaps, more than any other
man, was the cause of the much
lamented South African war. He
and his followers called them
selves Liberal Unionists who be-
lieved, foolishly | think, that if
the Irish are given Home Rule it
will mean the beginning of the
final disruption of the great Brit
ish Empire. In recent years
this party became linked with
the Conservatives and wish to be
known as the Unionist party.
From the name one might think
that their opponents, the Liberals,
are in favor of breaking up the
nation. AS far as l can see, one
is as loyal as the other.
There are in Parliament three
smaller parties; Labor, National
ist and Independent Nationalist.
The first named party has a
strong following in many of the
manufacturing centers of Eng
land, Scotland and Wales; the
latter are the two parties of Ire
land. The Labor and National
members in Parliament generally
vote with the Liberals; the Inde-
pendent Nationalists, of which
there are but few, vote with the
Unionists. az
It might be we'll, in as few
words as possible, to give you
general idea of English form Of
government. Let me say first
that our government is very sim
liar to the English, since ou1
forefathers used if as pattern
also other governments of Eu
rope. We had the opportunit!
to take the best that each natiol

mad to offer, and to add the
prains and originality of our
Founders and their posterity. In
many ways the English govern
fment is superior to ours and,to
IN many ways inferior.
i We speak of the British EN-
] pre- meaning Great Britain, Ire
land and all the colonies, India,
Australia Canada, South Africa,
etc, England is a limited mon
archy whose monarch, as we'll as
being king, is the emperor of In
tdla. His absolute power as mon
arch is practically nil. Although
the kings eldest son is but a lad,
should George V die tomorrow,
affairs would go on in the same
way. His position is that of a
very expensive figure head. His
power is largely the result of his
personal influence. This is re-
markably shown by the reign of
the late King Edward VII, per-
hapS England's greatest and
most beloved monarch. Through
his tact, his winning manners,
lhls great personal influence, he
placed England on the friendliest
Footing ever held with other ma
ftions. At home he was friendly
toward all the political parties,
yet partial. to none. l have Of
ten heard the opinion expressed
that had he lived, the House of
Lords question would have been
Iamicably settled without the De-
lcember election. Others say had
ihe been king the Boer war
might have been averted. He is
rightly known as Edward the
Peacemaker.
1t is true that the king has i'm
portant appointing power, yet
here too are many decided curbs.
For instance he must appoint the
Prime Minister, but it must al
:sJLS-l> l>e tke leosder-of-t -tlae-pexty
m power. He also appoints the
Cabinet and the Ministry, but or
the advice of the Prime Minister.
On recommendation the King ap-
points all judges of law courts.
The English government is
really very democratic. It is
more democratic than the gov
ernment of the United States
This statement may come as {
surprise to some. My meaning
is this: in England there are
ways in which laws are made
more directly by the people thar
in America. For example the
life or term of the House of Com
mons is by law seven years
However it rarely happens tina
a House runs for that time, as al
election may be forced by a very
strong opposition, or when the
House of Lords refuses to pas!
the important bills of the party
in power, or when the govern
ment; namely, the party in power
loses the confidence of the peo
pie.
In England there have beel
three general elections in the las
four years. At these election
many members who lost the con
fidence of their electors hav
been turned out. In the Unite,
States a senator is sent to Wash
ington for six years and con
gresham for two. In that tim
he may do quite as he pleases

1t is hard to imagine a completely
deserted section of New York city;
a section that was once alive with all
the hustle and hustle of busy life.
The region around the foot of Grand
street, that was once the center of
ferry traffic, is now practically de-
serted and healthy blades of grass
have begun to sprout between the
cobble stones of the pavement. Once
before the opening of the Will
liamsburg bridget was the place
where the human tides flowed high
and strong. The prosperity of the
neighbOrhood began to decline when
the bridge was opened, and it has
kept on declining steadily until there
is none left. The ferries that used
to carry thousands of passengers and
hundreds of trucks every day were
discontinued more than a year ago
because there was not enough bust
ness to pay expenses. The ferry
houses are boarded up and falling to
ruin.

A TRAIN LOAD OF FARMERS
VIII Come Down From Great North
west to Fight Reciprocity. Enc
mics of Treaty at Work.

WASHINGTON, D. canadian
reciprocity is not to be TANNED
through the senate. The finance
committee has not formally taken
the matter up, but there is an under
standing that hearings must be given
to those clamOring to present their
views. There is abundant reason for
believing these hearings will be quite
protracted. And there will be mem
bers on the committee who will not
lend unwilling ears to any PROPOSE
ton that seeks to delay the final vote
on the Underwood bill.
Senators McCumber and Smoot.
both of whom are bitterly opposed
to the. idea of reciprocity, are cred
| tied with engineering a farmers
invasion" that is about to turn it's
opposing column in the direction of
the national capital. The Changers
of the great northwest have deluged
their representatives in congress
with protests against the reciprocity
agreement. Finally some one sug-
gested that the farmers come to
Washington in body and appear
before the senate committee and tell
their story.
Now it is said there are two train
loads coming, and the invasion gives
promise of being the most pictur-
esque affair ever staged before
senate committee. Northwestern
farmers says the delegation will be
composed entirely of farmers, 300
or more in number. There is a sus-
picion, however, that the talking will
be done by professionals. Former
Senator Hansborough of North Dako-
ia is said to be heading one of the
parties. Farmers from North Dako-
ia, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota
and Nebraska will make up the in
vading army.
Chairman Penrose of the finance
committee stands with the president
and is in favor of the reciprocity
agreement, but the majority of the
committee probably will be against
it. The measure, as was done on the
previous occasion, probably will be
reported back to the senate without
recommendation. So far no order
of business has been arranged for
the senate. There seems to be OPP
position, however, to taking up any
particular measure until reciprocity
ia disposed of.
