Review of the Worlds Events

strument will settle a long standing
controversy over sealing in northern
waters, a subject fraught with posi-
bilities Of international misunderstood
ings.
The subject Of fur seal fishing has
even ocoasioned a few rows In the
American congress. During the extra
session a congressional committee
started an investigation into the sub
ject which is not yet concluded. Com
missioner Bowers was called as a wit
ness and read a rather peppery letter
addressed TO Representative Town
send of New Jersey, otherwise known
as "Chimmie Fadden" Townsend, au-
thor of the resolution Of inquiry.
Chairman Rothermel Of the committee
warned Mr.. Bowers that the letter
was insulting to a member of the COM
mittee, to witnesses and TO the COM
mittee itself. Mr.. Townsend interject-
ed that he considered it "a very valu-
able document and wanted it printed.
Il think" he said, at is excellent
evidence Of the character of the COM
missioner of the bureau of fisheries.
I would not have it stricken from the
record for anything"
Thus IL is seen that the fur seal
treaty may settle not only foreign.
but domestic difficulties.

Profit In Late Pios.

Some hog growers claim that late
pigs are not worth caring for. and
they advise killing them at birth.
However, in this era of high prices of
hogs IL Is likely that farmers will be
slow about killing young pigs even II

THE CORONATION AT DELHI

Most men would be satisfied with
m coronation, but King George V.
has had two. the second having occur
red at Delhi, the ancient capital of
India, On Dec. IL. Delhi was accus-
toned to cen of splendor in the
days of the old Moguls. but never wit
messed n even approaching that just
closed. The modern Deldi was built
by Shah Jeban. who also constructed
the celebrated Tai Mahal at Agra and
other famous buildings. 1t is a far cry
from that bloody minded monarch to
the mild George V. and from the Mo-
hammedan ascendency to that of
Christian England.

REAR ADMIRAL WAINWRIGHT

On Dec. II Rear Admiral Richard
Wainwright. descendant of Benjamin
Franklin, promoted for brilliant serv-
ice in the Spanish-American war. ex-
ecutive officer of the Maine when she
blew up and former commandant of
the Naval academy at Annapolis, was
placed on the retired list. Rear Ad-
miral Wainwright was appointed as a
cadet at large to the Naval academy
by President Lincoln. His father also
was an officer in the navy. After a
distinguished career covering more
than thirty years Wainwright after
escaping from death on the Maine was
placed in command of the Gloucester
and participated in the destruction of
Admiral Cervera's feet off Santiago,
being advanced ten numbers for emf
nent and conspicuous conduct in this
battle ard being presented with low
ing cups and swords by his admiTing
countrymen. He was superintendent
OF the Naval academy 1902.

VARIOUS RECENT MEETINGS

Another gathering of political sig
nificance, in the sense of its bearing
on the tariff fight, was the National
Wool Growers association, which con-
vened in Omaha on Dec. IA. The an
nounced purpose of the meeting was
to protest against the proposed reduc-
ton Of the tariff on wool. A novel
exhibition was the Oregon land prod
ucts show, which met in st. Paul.
This furnished an example of booming
methods that is liable to be followed
by other states. A convention of i'm
portance to the financial world was
the gathering of the executives of life
insurance companies in New York on
Dec. IS. On the 14th the National
Civil Service Reform league assembled
in Philadelphia, and the same day the
executive committee of the Carnegie
endowment for international peace
met in Washington. OF interest in the
world of sports was the meeting Of
the Basketball league and the opening
Of the hockey season, both of which
occurred on the 10th.

THE TWO NEW STATES

Arizona and New Mexico now are
officially in the Union, Arizona having
held her first state election on Dec. II.
At this a governor, representative in
congress, state officers and legislature
were chosen. In February the legisla-
ture will convene and elect two United
States senators. The candidates for
senators have already been chosen in
the party primaries. New Mexico held
her first election on Nov. Z and will
choose her senators in January. The
indications are that the two new
states will be represented by three
Democrats and n progressive Repub-
lican in the senate. making the party
strength in that body forty-ive Demo
Gratis and fifty Republicans. At least
twelve of the fifty Republicans are
progressives. There is one vacancy
from Colorado. With the advent of
Arizona and New Mexico all the posi-
BILE states in the United States proper
have been admitted. Before there can
be any more there must be either a di-
vision Of one of the states now exist
ing or the admission of Alaska, Porto
Rico OF Hawaii. The forty-eight stars
in the flag promise to remain undis-
turbed for some time.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

The meeting of the Republican ma
tional committee in Washington Or
Dec. IL fixed the time and place and
settled the basis of representation for
the Republican national convention of
1912. This will be the largest Repub-
Ican convention ever held, having
1,072 delegates, including the new
states Of Arizona and New Mexico.
Although the basis Of representation
in congress is not yet changed. the
electoral college and national conven-
tions Of the parties fix their represen-
tation under the new apportionment.
This gives New York ninety delegates
and Pennsylvania seventy-six. The
progressives made a fight for a change
in the basis of representation to the
actual number of votes cast, thus re-
ducing the number Of southern dele
gates.

holiday that appeals to every age and
sex. The celebration this year prom
ises to be a little more general than
ever before, and the world is now in
the throes of shopping, sending pres
ents and making ready for the great

expressmen are on the verge Of nerv-
Gus breakdown. the children are count

our cities and towns has been one OF
the standing ~reproaches urged against
US by those of other countries. Fol
this reason a meeting of the American
Civic association in Washington Dec.
1916 was of more than passing impor

establishment of a federal bureau OF
