 IL has been mentioned over and over again that the people of the differ. at camps in Alaska are inclined to be- come as clannish as if different camps meant different countries. When the people of Nome and the people of Fairbanks meet in some new camp upl the river. for instance, there is always some suggestion of the fact that they came from different communities al-l together. Each thinks the people ofI the camp he left are whiter than the people of the camp the other fellow left, and really one is inclined to think when he takes into consideration the brevity of the camps existence. that if Alaska continues for a century the whites will break up into tribes

EDUCATION AND POLITICS.

How to show the value of education accomplishment. Most people believe that education which goes beyond the requirements of our lfe's work is superfiuous and for that reason most children get only limited times ar school.
 Observers since the beginning of civilization have recignized. however that education improves people and makes them more effective if il does not flow over and spoil them. This improvement is known tO be far be- yond the question of utility for daily work. IL is the subtle improvement which can he discerned without being described.
 Recently the idea has got abroad more than ever that education IS chiefly advantageous by enabling one to understand his fellow man. Why education can do so is q mystery but the most famous observers have com mitted themselves to this theory. If they are right the greatest politician ought to be the best educated.
 This does not. however, seem to be always proven by the result of politi- cal elections. Men who are keen and) gifted with the power of rubbing their dear constituents in the right direction generally seem to get ahead of their studious brother. and the result is thatI men get into power who can neyer| rise above a certain elevation.
 Woodrow Wilson is probably one of the most cultured men elected to the presidency of the United States. Hisl life has been devoted mostly to study and To the direction of affairs with which contact is study in itself. Should the theory that education gives onel knowledge of his kind be correct the country may look forward to a bril- liant cabinet. But, as President Taft | says, the president is only one part eff the governments machine and wha,

 safer and the means of living more
 easily accessible to ordinary men
 Since 1896 this progressive tendency
 seems to have been reversed. It has grown increasingly difficult for an av-
 craze. unprivileged man to secure the means of subsistence
 Professor Seligman. of Columbia
 university writing on this subject, says that the present high cost of living will carry with it its own rem edy--if the people are patient" He assumes that the rise is mainly due to
 'an accident in the supply of money metal"-i. t.. to the recent extraordi- nary output If the gold mines of the world.
 But there is something wrong with a theory which insists with such com placeney that wages will by and byi begin to catch up with prices-in the face of the fact that the gap between the two has been steadily widening for fifteen years. If it IS going to take the lifetime of a whole generation toI get back to where We started from in 1896. the problem is sufficiently seri- ous.
 While II is true that wages are Il higher in the great corporations than in the smaller concerns. nevertheless the broad effect of monopoly is to mar row the labor market and prevent a general rise of the wagelevel.
 Probably the bottom fact is that if 1t were not for the recent enormous growth of corporate monopolies the whole field of interna ional commerce wages would have -isen under the stimulus of the extra ordinary gold supply almost as fast as prices.
 Thus the task of s competent inter national commission on this subject should narrow down to the question How to take from the great industrial the taxing powers they nave wrested from the governments of he world.-EX.

A MOVING PICTURE
THEATRE MANAGER SPEAKS

Following is a communication
from a moving picture exhibitor,
published in the June Woman's
Home Companion. It gives an idea
of the troubles of the moving picture
man and shows how he looks at his
business. The letter is written by
an owner and proprietor of a little
moving picture theatre in Tynall,
South Dakota:
Il wish to speak a word for the
much abused exhibitor. Most of
us are doing the best possible with
the material we have to work with.
AS for the subject, the manufacturer
is the one to praise or blame for the
good bad or Indifferent subjects.
The exchange that supplies US sends
US what we ask for, and 1 am sure
all the exhibitors get all of the best
subjects they can secure; but to a
certain extent we must run what is
sent. The exchange must send out
what they buy, and it stands to
reason they can buy only what is
released.
The manufacturer is free to make
what he wants to, and the thread
bare excuse cannot be given much
longer, as the dear public do not
demand what they call the low
brow subject. 1t is true we en-
dure it and laugh at it, but we put

Ex-Judge Shirley was one Of the

up with much that we dislike for
the good that is to come.
Great credit is due the manu-
facturers who are using the best tai
ent that money can secure. They
are not afraid that we cannot under
stand or appreciate first class drama
and comedy. Take the educational
picture; every audience wants that.
Then when they run out of other
material, they can give us athletic
subjects. The general public has
not had even taste of this. 1t need
not be world-renowned prize-fght-
ers; give us good gymnasium and
field work.
1.-THE motion-picture show in the
smaller towns, when managed with
intelligence, has been a real boon to
the people. Many come in from
the country, five and ten miles, as
automobiles have made distance no
object, and the exhibitor is anxious
to have a program that will repay
patron for the gasolene it costs to
run in to the show each evening""

Time Just Once.
The late Edmund Garrett, brilliant
journalist and one time assistant edi-
tor of the Pail Mall Gazette, was a
man whom other men loved. But along
with his virtues he had an extensive
list Of peculiarities. some Of which are
humorously exploited in a biography
by E. I. Cook.
Garrett had no idea of time. and he
used to get into some trouble at the
Office of the Gazette for that reason.
This must STOP" he said to me. land
matters must be mended" A day or
two afterward an invitation came from
the proprietor to dinner. Edmund said
that at any rate there must be no
doubt about this entertainment and his
punctual attendance thereat and a

WOULD REQUIRE PROPER
''> PAINTING BY Law

| ] ubUU 6nVs
A law passed by Congress COM
polling property owners to paint ev-
cry wooden, steel or iron building
Immediately upon its erection, and
to repaint it at least every five years,
might be considered by some as a
hardship, yet such law would en-
force the greatest national ECONOMY
ever proposed, one beside which
disarmament itself would seem in.
significant 80 far as the saving Of
dollars alone.
Such law would save property
owners in America hundreds of mil
lions of dollars annually, and the
cost would actually be about one
third of the present cost OF repairs
to implanted structures caused by
rotting, rusting and general wear
and tear. Statistics prove that in
all sections of the United States less
than 25 per cent of the houses are
painted. This is largely due to ig.
norance. Most people paint for the
sole purpose of appearance, though
that shou]d he the last reason for
using paint.
It costs three times as much not
to paint as it does to paint. The
cost of repairs to implanted struc-
lures is three times the cost of paint
ing.
Lumber or steel lasts forever if
kept well painted; it rots or rusts
out in a few years or even months
if not kept painted. Paint is the
one free luxury, for it pays for it.
self three times more than it costs.
We will give one not unusual in
stance of fact showing the economy
of painting. In the South today is
house built in 1857. 1t has been
painted at least once every five years
and practically nothing has been
spent on it's repairs. The owner
and his family have enjoyed the
luxury all that time of living in a
clean, well-kept and attractive home
In 1887 house was built immedi-
ately adjoining the old one; it is
similar in design and size and was
painted when it was erected, but
never since, Today it would cost
more to put it in repair than the en-
tire cost Of painting the older one
all the years since it was built, and
in the meantime the owner has lived
in dilapidated, unsightly and run
down house.
Take a board, paint it and set it
beside a similar one Imprinted
where the sun, rain, snow, gases Of
the air and innumerable other de
structive elements are fighting a
battle royal with them night and
day. In six months you will be
amazed at the deterioration of the
implanted one, while the other one
will show no change whatever.
With the attention the lawmak-
ers are giving to the regulation OF
almost everything, including such
wise measures as the protection of
the mineral and timber treasures of
the nation in their natural states,
why not such conservation of these
elements of the nations wealth in
their Intimately more valuable forms?
