The problem which has been agitat' ing not only the minds of the school board and teachers, but parents and pupils as we'll, has beeu settled. It is in regard 10 the tine aud length of the terms. The parents, pupils and teach
 CTS have been so insistent in demand ing iOrg vacation in summer that the school board has been converted to the idea, aud the summer vacation will be incIeas ed IU four months. The school term will be of eight months duration, and hereafter the school day will be six hours long. The corps of teachers will be increased to six, so that there will be no excuse for anything but per feet school. It is thought that this plan will meet with general approval.

The story that the miners of the Tan ana are preparing to start revolution is given publicity by tie Sound papers. Such rot can do Alaska no good and, probably, has no truth in it. Almost without exception Alaska miners are a patriotic lot, but there are always a few professional agitators in every community.

Greater consideration for the women

He declared that the e'cvating intu

were overlooked and the unions judged
only by their mistakes.
we judge every other human insti-
tuition by its best works" he said. but
the labor unions invariably are judged
by their mistakes. Violence in labor
disputes, whether committed by union
men, nonunion men or employers.
should be visited by strong public CON
demnation. We forget, however, that
more persons are killed in a single
Fourth of July celebration than have
been killed in all industrial disputes
since the signing of the Declaration of
independence"
Mr. Mitchell advised his audience to
read the report of the Chicago vice
commission and learn the effects of
low wages on the morals of working
girls. The conditions shown in that
report are q shame to civilization" he
said. THE union tries to protect NOR
ally, physically and industrially, the
woman who has to work. 1t tries to
protect the little children who are fore
ed to work in the mills and factories.
The thousands Of prematurely aged
children in our mills and factories are
terrible indictment against society

GETS GUILD FROM SEA WATER
Or. osksr NsaeI Claims That He tlaa
q Machine Which VIII
DO This.

0Hsar Nagei. Ph. D., an Austrian
chemist whose home Is at East
Forty-frst street, eonEided to the news
paners last night4that he had inyentsd
a way to extract gold and potash from
e water aud that with a plant that
will cost complete not more than
S242,0 600, he could take from the sea
1850, 000-worth OF gold a year. This,
he added, meant a gold production OF
about 5 $4,000 a day to get which will
cost about 1866, leaving a clear profit
of $4,000 each working day In the
year.
Doctor NageI purposes, after he has
passed the salt waters OF the globe
through his extracting pumps and
squeezed the gold and potash from
them, TO return them again to the
seas. SO that there need be no appre-
hsnsion OF the disappearance OF those
useful bodies OF wxter.
Doctor Nagel told first of his method
of getting potash from the sea. He
did not say that he believed he could
extract the great commercial article,
OF which $4,000. 900 Is imported each
year Into the United States from Ger

Washington, Nov 1S.-Attorney
General Wickersham was not very
much disturbed by the statement is
sued by Governor James H. HawIey
of Idaho criticising the president
and the department of justice on ac-
count of the action of the president
in granting a pardon to Clarence w.
Robnett, b~ookkeeper in the Lewis
ton National bank of Lewiston, Ida.
Robnett was convicted of embez-
ling the funds of the bank and was
sentenced to ten years ~imprison-
ment, but he has not served any OF
his sentence. The governor de-
nounced the pardon as likely to
bring Justice into disrepute and
weaken the courts in the estimation
of our people" The attorney gem
eral explained that the pardon was
arranged by telegraph between
Washington and Idaho. In all
such cases, he said, 1t was neces-
sary to rely ON some one implicated
In the affair to furnish the testi-
money necessary to convict others.
The government was not anxious to
enter into such negotiations, but it
thought it better to make terms
with one of the participants in the
crime and convict the others than
to allow all to escape for want of
evidence ON which to convict. 1t
was also stated that the evidence
tended to show that Robnett was
the tool of other men in the affair,
that he did not benefit financially by
his crime and that the greater re-
sponsiblity for the crime lay with
others.
