 It is especially regretable that Judge Maltby should step aside for not only does the precinct lose ceent official but his retirement from public life under the circumstances that exist indicates the approach of forces in official circles that far from reassuring.

Skeleton Thought
 To Be Doc. DOheriy

The skeleton of man was found on ! bar across the river from the Hyde farm near Cinema by native, which, so far, is unidentified. It is considered possible that the remains are those ot Fred Kline, an N. N. company employe who was drowned in the fall of 1905, as the size of the bones indicate that they are those of an unusually large man, as Kline was, or of Doc Doherty, d gam oIer, who mysteriously disappeared five years ago.
 Commissioner Dillon of Fairbanks, went down the river to hold an inquest on the remains and found that there was no hing to lead to positive identi- ication, the only trace of clothing be- ing the collar and portion of the front plait of black sateen shirt, fastened around the neck with pin. The com- missioner was of the opinion that the skeleton was that of man at least feet tall and of strong build.

ANNEXATION TO CANADA

It is considered an appropriate answer to the muddled thinkers and loose takers about annexation of Canada to the United States that would be better for all concerned to annex the United States to Canada.
 That is joke fit for the simplest comprehension. But it is not much of joke to talk of annexation of other American territory to Canada and of still other to Japan Mexico It axiom of civilization that the only per manent title to territory power to govern it for the great est good of the greatest number.
 We justified the rape of islands from Spain by the long history of her misgovenment of them previously justified the rape of the whole southwest from Mexico Suppose the argument to be turned against We remember the blazing candor of the antiiperalsts well enough to count upon considerable American support of it.

0LD FOSSIL IVORY
From Alaska is a Curlo, a Souvenir
 And an Ornament

The interest nhown by the tourist in the various souvenirs is greater in regard to the Fossil Ivory than any other specimen of eurioa which are offered for sale by the numerous stores in the town of Alaska.
 Aside from It's beauty as an orna ment, surrounded as lt Is with the gold nuggets, natural in shape and color, the interest seems to be en- hanced by the fact that the Ivory Is thousands upon thousands of years old.
 There are three kinds of ivory found in Alaska-Mammoth, Mastodon and walrus.
 The Mammoth and Mastodon, pre- historic animals, Caccording to our scientists) lived hundred thousand years ago, and today is found In the ground by the natives, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, Boring Sea and

The Bucket-shop Cases

AS pointed out in The Washington
Herald yesterday, the decision of Judge
Wright holding the section m the Dis
trict Code relating to bucket shops to
be unconstitutional. does not actually
affect the status of those places. They
are still confronted by the judgment OF
the Court of Appeals that their opera
ton is in violation of the District anti
gambling law, and It will not be difficult
for the authorities to suppress them I'm
der that decision.
There is strong opposition against
bucket shops, and this antagonism is
supported by public sentiment Congress
has endeavored to place them under the
ban OF the law. and if one statute is
not sufficient. the enactment will con-
tInue until the evil is cradIcated. 1t is
worth while for the authorities TO be
vigilant. however, and see that the busi-
ness which the Court of Appeals decided
was a plain violation OF the gambling
laws is not allowed again to flourish in
defiance of the edict Of the court.

A Deserved Recognition.

The suggestion TO name the new nor
nal school building in honor Of J. Or
mond- Wilson is 4 deserved recognition
Of the long and faithful service which
Mr.. Wilson rendered to the public
schools. It is true that his labor was
gwen so many years ago that to the
present generation il is a matter of ira
dition. There is a very large proportion
OF the Washington population, however,
who remember with gratitude the devo-
ton and efficiency with which Mr.. Viii
son served the cause of public educa-
ton, when. as superintendent, he had
charge OF the schools here The trib-
ute which IS to be paid to him is all the
more pleasing because It crowns the
years OF his long life and is not merely
4 tribute to his memory
The normal school. which has done so
much to give accomplished teachers to
the Washington schools, was founded
by Mr. Wilson, ard the splendid new
building which is proposed-an improve
nent none the less welcome because it
has been long deIaved-is to be COM
mcnccd during his lifetime and bear his

human muscles remain alive some time

demonstrations OF what can be done in

Industrial Insurance Would Fail.

An exhaustive study OF the practical
operations Of the German pension sys-
TEN, as applied in the industrial field
among the workingmcn Of that country.
sheds interesting light on the possibii-
tics OF a theory which is being urged in
the United States as a solution of our
own social and labor problems.
Official reports show that this state
insurance IS costing Germany something
like 10000 marks daily 1t has caused
the establishment and maintenance OF a
great bureaucratic system, which If what
VIC read is true, actually requires for its
maintenance 4 sum equal 10 the entire
contribution of the workingnen each
year, and hence throws the total burden
of indemnihcatjon upon the government
treasury, This, according to the figures
before us, has tended TO increase the
final cost of industrial insurance 90 per
cent within the ten years of its exist
cnce.
But there IS quite another thing, and
one which proves incidentally that graft
is not altogether an American institu-
ton. All kinds Of schemes are being
worked in the interest of contractors, as
well as Office seekers Claimants for in
surance money Try to establish their
cases on alleged injuries that often are
1udicrous, suggesting Great Britain's ex-
perience under the compensation act and,
in this country, some of the private pen
sion claims approved by Congress.
1t is well known that such system
generally is abused There are always
hands ready to make a grab into the
public treasury. The establishment of
industrial insurance in this country
would offer similar opportunity and
temptation 1t is impossible here, how
ever, because ineradicable graft would
vastly increase the cost of workingman's
insurance, would cause him to pay an
unreasonable price simply for admins
tration, would increase the expenses of
our national industries, and, m the long
run, would be the means of increasing
the cost of production, very vital point
