THE NATIONAL ELECTION.

The Democratic party seems to have won a notable victory yesterday the greatest in the history Of the coun- try. The Democrats at this writing seem to have not only elected Wilson. but have made substantial gain in the membership of the House of Rep resentatiyes. but after March 4, next, win also control the Senate,
 Governor Wilson has boiled a phenomenal vote. while Mir. Taft seems to have carried but one state, Utah. while Roosevelt won in Penn sylyania. Illinois. Washington Michi- gan, Iowa and Kansas.
 Thus thirty.seyen states have gone Democratic with four yet doubt ful. The victory is a notable one and places a tremendous respOn- sibllity on the successful party. It has been been unQualiaedly endorsed by the people. It will now be for the party to perform what it has promised; to efrect needed reforms and to carry out the pledges which 1t has made to the people. to revise the tarif in the interests Of the con- sumer and ,o relieve the country from trust domination and control.
 President. Elect Wilson. though but a short time in public life has given ample evidence that he possesses the fine qualities of statesmanship that are so necessary to the well.being of the nation. He is progressive but not radical. and We hope that the acts Of his administration during the com ing presidential term will be such as will commend it to the American peo- pie.
 So far as Alaska is concerned we believe that more liberal policy will be pursued towards this territory and that many of the disabilities un- der which Alaskans have labored and suffered will be mitigated.

ALASKA rElEeRAPH TOLLS.

The Ketchikan and Wrangell ca bles have been out of commission for several weeks. The cableship Burn. side is. or mas been, in the drydocll lat Seattle undergoing repairs How much longer the Burnside may be de, Iayed. and the cable be in condi- tion of inuocuous desuetude We do not know. But there are a few things touching the Alaska cable system and the cableship that are known of all Alaskans. The cost of the mante- nance of the Burnside is annually charged up to the Alaska cable and telegraph lines. This has been used as an excuse against the reduction of telegraph and cable tolls whenever such reduction has been urged.
 When not engaged in the actual work of repairing breaks in the cable the cableship is comfortably docked at Seattle. If a break is reported, 1t takes from six to ten days for the ship to reach the place. All this de- lay is q matter of much inconvenience and frequently of loss to the people of Alaska. If the Burnside were kept within easy striking distance there would be less cause for complaint, so why not keep her in these waters a considerable part of the time?
 We believe that the cable and tel egraphic tolls in Alaska are exces- sive aaG ta7t they should be reduced, The reason assigned by the war de. partment for opposing any reduction is because of the expense entailed in the cost of ,sa maintenance ot the system and me cableship. But, we submit. that rn,s is a charge t1a' should not D, Laced upon the s5oul ders of u.c Alaskan people. The goN' ernment maintains, however that it is not in the business for commercial reasons. but that the cable and tel egraph lines are solely for mil itary purposes -- claim that seems to lack the element of justice or equity. The burden should be frightened to substantial extent

THE CARE OF THE INSANE.

Complaints are frequently heard concerning the treatment of Alaska insane patients at the Morningside sanitarium. near Portland. Oregon. Some Of them appear to be we'll patients are herded together-white patiens are herded together - white and colored-and that the accommo- dations are limited in extent and cleanliness is not always apparent Indeed the condition of some of these women is described as pitiable. A guard who accompanied a number of patients to the Morningside institu- ton last September stated that if his charges were not insane when they reached the asylum they soon would be, owing to the care or lack of care rather. they would there re- ceiye. and the conditions by which they are surrounded. This is a ter rible indictment. and whether it be true only In part, there is undoubt' edly enough truth in 1t to merit an investigation.
 The system of "farming-out" to the lowest bidder the caring for the in- sane persons of Alaska is shameful, inhumane and degrading. Better have a lunatlc asylum in Alaska where. at least, there would be strict supervision. where the patients could be segregated and where their needs would be attended and adequate med ical treatment given them. This would be preferable to milder eli mate elsewhere on the Pacific Coast, where the care and treatment neces- sary seem to be denied.
 The government alone is to blame. The policy pursued by it is subject to the severest censure. not alone in that 1t Tets out" the care of the in- sane to the cheapest bidder, but also because rigid supervision and in- spectlon seem to be largely lack ing.
 It will be well within the province of the Alaska legislature to investigate this question and submit its findings and recommendations to Congress.

STDELIGHTS


 It s twenty years since the last Democratic president was elected. And there have been wonderful changes since that time. A new American spirit has been developed. The country has developed in Q won- derful manner. Its trade has in- creased many fold, so has it's in- ternal commerce. But there remains yet q task to be done before the United States can take a place as a world commercial power. Its mer- chant marine must be restored. One may travel round the world and about the only places he will see the American flag floating are tue Amer ican consulates or embassies-or at the masthead of some miIlionaire's yacht.

 The Senators and Representatives from the more remote places as at Nome will exhaust their mileage long before they reach the capital. There will be no "unearned increment" after they have paid their roadhouse bills and other travelling expenses.

A Dram Concerning God.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

not only saw their secret deeds, dis
cerned their private meditations and read
their inner thoughts as a printed page.
but 1 also saw that more important part
of them, their subconsciousness. their
hidden motions of desire, their unspoken
cravings.
saw their naked souls. I saw through
their souls as through a crystal.
And it seemed as If 1 were gazing at

know that a planet, such as ours OF
Mars, when you are upon 1t, has noun
tains, forests, deserts, storms and trOu-

another planet it is but a brilliant star.
So, now it seemed to me, from Coos

great wave of joy and glory and love.
For l seemed to know that pain and

that the eternal years at last wash all
souls down to sheer beauty.
And 1 understood how God is glad he

And l spoke. and it seemed as if my

''Glycerin is expensive and also decom-

up an electrOlytic action on the metal
composing the radiator tubes, and if the
mixture Is not chemically pure, as it gen.
orally is, it has a corroding effect on the
tubes that means in the long run a new
radiator. Alcohol-that is, ethyl alcohol
or denatured alcohol-is harmless, while a
cOrroding calcium chloride solution will
often clog up the water pump. One part
of denatured alcohol to three of water
will not freeze until the temperature has
dropped below zero, and as the weather
becomes colder the mixture can be in
creased in strength. If the temperature
runs below Zero-to, say, 15 below-three

MELBOURNE. October % 1912.
Lord Denman's recent ball. for which
$1,000 gorgeous waratah blooms were
used, caused a political sensation in the
house of representatives, owing to the
labor members indignant protest against
Premier Fishers action in agreeing to
adjourn parliament at $50 o'clock to en-
able the politicians to attend.
The laborites accused the opposition OF
degrading parliament by inducing Mr.
Fisher to make the agreement. and in
tending subsequently to denOunce them
throughout the country for poStponine
national business for a government house
dance.
Mr.. Fisher admitted that he made the
arrangement, but he failed to assuage
the anger of his supporters. Finally, al

house was counted out, the members
present being two short of a quorum.
The ball proved to be the most brilliant

SUDAN YOUTHS BETTERED
Utility of Gordon College at
Khartum Firmly Establish
ed, Says Kitchener. !
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

LONDON, November Is, 1912
Lord Kitchener has forwarded to the
governing body of the Gordon Memorial
college at Khartum the annual report of
James Currie, director of education i'm
the Sudan, and principal of the college,
on the work done during 1911.
Lord Kitchener states that the practi-
cal utility of the institution, for which
the original subscribers so literally pro-
vided funds. has been securely established
and shows very satisfactory results. Over
800 students have passed out of the col
lege, and are employed in various capaci-
ties by the Sudan government. Among
them not more than 10 per cent have
failed to give complete satisfaction. The
whole tone of the natives has been raised
by the example set by these educated and
trained youths, who now occupy positions
of some Importance throughout the coun-
try. Lord Kitchener adds:
''One of the main principles of the Cor
don College is that the boys characters
have to be studied during their earlier
primary education in ordsr that they may
receive definite specialized training in the
various careers for which they are desig-
mated at an early period in their educa-
ton. "a
This principle is undoubtedly the main
achieved by the output of the college"
