srEFANssoNs DISCOVERY,

Much interest is naturally attached to the reports which Explorer Stefans
 son brings from the Arctic region of Canada in relation to the discovery of a new tribe of Eskimos greatly differ ing from any others who have been found. Surely 1912 is proving rich in discoveries in the polar regions, and Mr. Stefansson Is bound to share in the honors of the year. Few will envy him his experiences during four years in the frozen north. The sacrifice in behalf of ethnology has been great, and 1t will be impossible for him to make 1t fully understood by the pub nc, but the successful outcome of his mission Is his reward.
 That he found a new tribe of Es- kimos IS not surprising, for the far north has never been thoroughly cov- cred by men, in search of such facts. and still holds many secrets which science would like to obtain. His ex- [! periences were most interesting, and that he should find descendants of men of Scandinavian birth centuries ago is not surprising, in view of their interest in exploration and the grad uaI drifting away from Greenland. The many traits, however, which he reports. cause surprise when the man ner and customs of these people are related. To think that these Eskimos away from the influences of civiliza- tion should retain traces of culture and refinement. know their place and maintain social customs is unexneotad MT. Stefanssons work and data is another step in the gradual progress into the remote recesses of the world

OPERATION OF THE RECALL

Where the recall has been put into operation, those who are interested in the study of 1t will find much to oc- cupy their attention. California has been experimenting with it, with the result that it is found to be costly plan, useless expenditure of money as well as a useless election This has been figured out by a taI associn- ton in Alameda county California, which went into the matter, of a re- cent recall election in Oakland, the county seat, for the purpose of deter mining the cost of local government.
 It was necessary in order to bring about the election under consideration to secure a petition which 3,264 signed and of that number it was found that 3,059 of them were not taxpayers. The greater part of them were of the float ing population, but with the right to sign. as they had been there period of three months. The taxpayers who signed paid but $12,500 of the two- million dollar tax income in Oakland. The cost of the election which the petition Y1ecessitated was $15,32S, and of it the San Francisco Chronicle says it was "an complication of human hatred An irresponsible lot that pay no taxes compelled the thrifty that work and try to save to spend large sum of money
 The actual operation of theories is where the real test comes. Things may look good upon paper or in an address. but putting them into prac- tice shows better than anything elese where the defects lie.

THE RED FLAG DANCER.

The danger which turks behind the movement which the I. w. W. is ad- vocating, was fully demonstrated on Sunday in New England cities, when the red flag was carried and there was fighting determination to disobey all mandates in behalf of law and order. There was a bad spirit displayed at these gatherings, which were held in protest against the long detention of leaders of their organizations who had been held for trial since the Lawrence strike.
 It was not their meeting which caused the trouble in Providence, but the determination that the red flag would be carried against the orders of the police This precipitated a fight in which stones and knives were used upon the bluecoats before the trouble ceased. In Boston the meet ing was followed by the arrest of Leader Haywood on the charge of con- spiracy in connection with the Law renee strike last winter. He had called for a general strike throughout New England in protest against the deten- tion of Ettor and Giovannitti fof trial As speedy trial as possible is what every man accused of a crime should receive. but the course of law is slow and misunderstood many times. How ever, the exciting of all New England and the closing of mills, which they seek, will not hasten the trial. Lit tie thought is given to the suffering which a general strike in the New England states would mean if 1t should be obeyed. If an injustice is being done to two men it cannot be overcome by doing, greater injustice to all of New England.

IDEAS OF APLAIN MAN
Friend Death.

The just observation has been made that old age chngs to life and youth throws it away.
 Life is very good, but deliver me from so overpriZing 1t that I cannot lay it down, when my time comes, with due gentility.
 Death is also good, in it's place, and as sound and sweet as life.
 There is a part of me that is very friendly to death and would not at all find it unwelcome if it should come without too many pains and alarms.
 Underneath all my interest in things lies a little tiredness of the world. its criss cross tangles, it's perpetually un- solved mysteries, its chafings and baf- filings.
 Not that I would be. or am, morbid. cynic or bitter, for I try to keep my face to the light, and do really love life and the universe. But when the play is over I want to go home. When the day is done want to so to bed. feel often towards death as toward sleep.
 From too much love of living. From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be- That no life lives forever, That dead men rise up never, That even the weaIiest river Winds somewhere safe to sea-"

TWO LEGISLATURES FOR IRE.
 LAND,

Some stirring times can be antici- pafed before the solution of the home rule in Ireland question is determined for keeps. How much the Belfast trouble will amount to is difficult to toll, but it is evident that Ulster has made up it's mind in regard to resist ance of the plan to put the province under Dublin control. In this connec- ton not little consideration may be eiven to the suggestion of Winston Churchill that the traditional, political and geographical lines be ignored, and that separate legislatures be es- tabllshed In such portions of the king dom as Lancashire, Yorkshire, the MidlAnds and Greater London. This has been the suggestion of the union- ists in opposition to the liberal plan of placing Ireland under one home government because it is an island. They consider that Dublin and Ulster should be separate in their legisla- lures.
 The idea was proposed by Mir. Churchill as remodeling of the Brit ish empire in accordance with condi- tions and density of population which exist in certain centers, and the union- ists contend that this likewise holds good in regard to the two sections of Ireland. It seems to be plan worthy of consideration. at least, as home rule In the island should be started off with as favorable a beginning as pos- sible but with Ulster kicking up trou- ble would be experienced right from the start.

The excursion train drew up at its destination-a bleak, dreaTy little sta tion, painted green and yellow. The passengers alighted and swarmed the uneven board platform, while gentle men, who wore high hats and rumplec frock coats, pushed their way through the crowd, and pointing to desolate hill a quarter of a mile away. began to descaflt on the charms of CedafWoeo Heights.
 A rusty looking band doubled out ot the smoking car and began uncertalnly the brassy strains of an ancient march whGreupon che of the frock coated gentlemen produced a megaphone ana bawled forth the announcement that the auction sale of the magnificent res! idential lots would begin at once on Cedarwood Heights and to those de- string a site for suburban home this was the opportunity of a century. The band started toward the hill, and the excursionists trailed along the dusty road in its wake.
 Parton. near the end of the line, watched the proceedings with gr1tn smile. It had all turned out quite as he had expected. His search for a sub urban lot that would come within his limited means had led him into other land excursions, where the "un- paralIeled outlook of the prospectus had turned out to be very much like the barren landscape before him.
 However, as long as he was here, he decided to see the thing out. He would go to the auction and watch the un- sophisticaed home seekers open their pocketbooks at the behest of the sm0oth talking gentry, who has brought them at-. Io 1iIEn HnPk nf silly lambs.
 Some one touched his elbow, and he turned to see rather bewildered young woman smiling and flushing.
 T didn't expect to see you here, MT Parton" she was saying.
 You. too, Miss Cary?" he asked il surprise.
 "Yes; I've saved up little money and the prospectus said as an invest ment-"
 "Prospectuses are a trifie optimistic generally he interrupted.
 Don't you think some time the land will be valuable? ?" she asked timidly.
 When every other nook and cranny of the world is occupied, possibly" he said.
 Then you'd advise" she began.
 ''Don't!'' he said. That's the best advice I can give.
 And it's an hour and half before there's train back" she said wearily
 Let's watch the fun until then,' he suggested. '7Then we'll go back with added respect for the imagination oi the prospectus makers
 Miss Cary laughed.
 Its fun watching the rest, anyway, she observed philosophically.
 Much more so than buying magnifi- cent residential sites," said he.

CLAIMING JUSTICE, DEALING IN
 JUSTICE.

That was a vigorous attack upon fk# progressive party which Governor Marshall of Indiana. and democratic vice presidential candidate, made in Kansas City. Mo-, when he, in behalf Of justice, spoke in behalf of the re- publicans of the state of Kansas. This was most unexpected when the fact is considered that it was directly against his own cause. Despite the fact that the situation which the pro- gresslves have created in Kansas might mean thousands of votes and victory for the democrats, Governor Marshall says:
 "A party that opens its political meetings with prayer and sings On ward Christian Soldiers and claims to be the embodiment of pure politics and clean Americanism, ought to be hon. est enough to not deceive the voters, not to dissemble and not to resort tu legal technicalities to force the voter either to vote for candidates he does not desire in office or to vote against his principles.
 ~This may be a mark of slick poll ties. but it is not mark of honest politics. should like to win the votes of the Taft republicans in Kansas provided they really want to vote for me. but insist that if they do not want to vote for me they should have the right as American citizens to vote for Mir. Sherman There can be no doubt as to the duty of a governor whoss state faces this kind of af- fairn He should convene his legisla ture to change the. states election laws Every man In Kansas should have chance to vote for the candi- dates he desires in office"
 Nothing speaks more of the insln cerity of the progressive leader and his cause than this stand, which is taken not only in Kansas but in other states. Those who are seeking "gov- ernment by the people, are backing a cause which is bolstered up to tenn porarily lead people astray.

good roads. We favor any one who will build them Therefore, We favor
 having Uncle Sam build them." Let
 us interject an idea, a thought for everybody, for everybody is interested
 in having good roads. Who is Uncle |, Sam? In common parlance, it is
 generally believed that the ''old gen.
 tleman' is the people, Carried out,
 it means that the people are going in to the business of building good roads, l which is a necessity, without doubt.
 But to build good roads 1t requires
 three factors, at least, indispensable factors. What are these factors? First, the materials, second, the labor, and third, the money to pay for ma
 terial and labor.
 The material and labor are ready
 the one thing lacking Is the money.
 The editorial then says: "The sum of s500,000 was appropriated for Frank
 Hitchcock and James Wilson to spend in improving the conditions of roads, to be selected by them, over which rural free delivery is, or may here after, be established This happily includes pretty nearly all the high | ways in the United States" It then says: Whenever Uncle Sam and his poor relations start out to enjoy a | joy ride 1t is the old mans pocket book that finally settles the bills." It goes on to say that: Tt begins with | $25,000 for an investigation by five senators, and as many representatives,
 of the subject of federal aid in the
 construction of postal roads," It then
 says: These sage investigators are | also asked to decide whether 1t should be paid for out of funds in the treas
 ury or by bond issues This question
 need not occupy seven seconds of their valuable time. Bond issues will do
 the trick, and everybody knows it." | Just think of it. It says: This good
 roads provision Is but the beginning of an outlay of s20O, 900, 900 per an-
 num-" Just seriously think 1t over.
 This provision means s200,0o0,000 of
 debt settled on the people, annually,
 without any provision for paying this bonded debt, That means a perpetual
 bended debt, 'Tis English, you know.
 Coed roads are necessity, but is there 1 net some other way to get them ex- cept te bend the nation forever, and
 force the generations unborn to pay interest on this debt, the people hav- | ing the absolute right to create a legal | tender money to pay any debt in the
 United States? Then the editorial
 says: And government expenditures
 are the largest single factor in the
 high cost of living; and then says:

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
PATRONS LOT

1 They reached the top of the hill, and the auctioneer mounted the little stand which had been erected. The band, al the instigation of one of the promoters struck up "Heme. Sweet Home," and | the sale began.
 For time 1t was all very interest ! ing, but after a while the stereotyped phrases of the auctioneer and his ele- | phantine attempts at wit palled upon them. Miss Cary began to yawn cov- ertly Parton noticed this, and sug- gested a walk down the farther slope of the hill to which sug gestion the girl , readily acquiesced. They found quiet spot behind little clump of cedars and sat down in the Bcant shade.
 T didn't know you were interested in real estate" said the girl by way of opening the conversation. 1 Parton coughed easily. "Oh, I've followed every one of these l he confessed. You see, I want to find and at the same time will be attract 1 i've and reasonably near the city.

 And the following step?" she said | insinuatingly. l T thought I'd get the house first, and then ask the-the following step to share it with me-" he laughed. That l is why these real estate boomers get ] their clutches on me" And you haven't found your lot yet?" he asked. l He shook his head. l "But, of course, you've found the fol i lowing step?" she persisted.

 Wouldn't it be better policy to find i out that point before you purchase your lot?" she asked
 q think shall have to put my car1 before my horse and ask my following step before I find my suburban acre, said Parton, thoughtfully.
