INSULT TO INJURY.

! This is story of the Harvard
"Gold Coast" Some students who
had either a real or imaginary
grievance against taxicab chauf-
ifeur, boarded his cab and rode all
evening and part of the morning,
winding up in front of the halls.
They excused themselves to raise
money enough to pay the bill and
never came back. The next day the
taxicab company was called up and
the manager asked: "Did you have
some Harvard students use a cab
all night ?" eyes" ''Did they evade
the bill ?" "Yes?" "Did the chauf-
feur wait for four hours for them to
come out and pay him?' eyes"
Sand you were never paid?" "No."
"Well," concluded the voice, isn't
that too - bad" and the receiver
was hung up.

Law firms have particular fond

New York Press. The result is oft

but might easily be set to music and
make lovely refrain for popular

GAMBLING AND POLICE CRAFT

The lesson of the New York pO- lice scandal is too plain to need "pccial emphasis. Whenever the police make peace with inc gan- blcrs il must always be on terms which finally will bring discrcdit on the police. The Roscnlhal tragedy was a logical outcome of the unhOly alliance between Inc police and the gamblers of that city.
 When the police begin to wink at the law in behalf of gamblers, graft is at the bottom of it. Police graft is inevitable when the po- lice permit gambling. More than that, a species of favoriiism all ways will develop in such circum- stances. The police will begin to favor one set of lawbrcakers. Gamblers fcuds will bcgct police fcuds. One policeman or officer will not unnaiurally think that he has as good moral right to allow gambling and lake graft from gamblers as any other po- liccman or officer, and tho result inevitably is bad feeling in the po- lice department and tho evil con sequences of lack of discipline disorpanization and dcmoraliza- lion, and chance for a tragedy such as that which snufrcd Roscn- thars life out.
 New Works scandal is of shock ing magnitude. But for a while at least the hideous revelations which have followed the killing oi

THE ELECTION.

The result of the election in II. c territory came as surprise. We had led ourselves to believe the people of the nnrthland had tired of being humbuggcd; wc were mistaken; and Barnum's well known axiom still holds good, at least as far as we of this terri f0ry are concerned.
 The people have spoken, and we have but to submit tO the will of the majority, fraught with danger, as the result will Dc to Alaska, and Valdez in particular. The result of the election will be hcraldcd throughout the states as an en- dorScmeni of Roosevelt and his conservation policy; it will not augment the favor in which Alas ka is held by the present admin istration; it will not help Us With MT. TafcS successor in office or with the next Democratic chn- gross.

THE BoUNDLEss WEST.

Ever since the American colon ies were first plaI.ted the bound less West" has been a phrase to conjure with, a beckoning hand and beacon Of hope to men and women ambiti 'us to better their |condition.
 The geographical location of "the boundless West" has chagn- ed from time to time, steadily re- ceding in the direction of the set ting sun until it embraced the coast line of the Pacific ocean. The West, however, is still defln- able as that part of our country stretching back from the Missis- sippi valley, and although it has come to contain nearly a third of our population, it is yet full of bOundlcss opportunities for the fortune builder who knows how to utilize it's magnificent resources.
 The development of this great country has gone on steadily, all though not always at a steady pace. The apparent slowing up of the last year or so has appeared .tO those most observing and con Vcrsant With il as a huSbanding or gathering up of strength for an other great forward movement to- ward which the logic of events is plainly pninling. The West is gel ling ready for the impetus the fast approaching completion of the Panama Canal is sure to give. "Thc bOundlcSS west" will hold a more important place in the at tention of the world in the years to come than ever before.

PARLIAMENTARY PEACE CON-
 FERENCE.

Representative SulZer, of New York, a conspicuous advocate of the peace movement, has asked congress to authorize the presi- dent of the United States "to eX- trnd an invitation to all the mem- bers of the national legislative bodies of the various nations of the world tn assemble in Wash ingtOn, District of Columbia, in inc United StateS, during the fall of the year 1915, to discuss mat tcrS relating to universal peace, and make recommendations for such action as will enable said national legislative bodies to be of greater service in promoting con- cord and peace among the na- lions of the earth"
 The purpose of the resolution for one thing is tO give official recognition by this country to the proposed international parlia- mentary conference on the sub ject of peace. It is part of the crusade also against the increas- ing burden of armamcnts, a bur den against which there is loud and increasing complaint in all the more advanced countries of the world.
 Moreover, the conference pro- posed in the SulZer resolution is peculiarly significant, because it recognizes the intimate relation between the peace movement and public treasuries. Peace, after all, largely is pursc-string prob lem, and it may be doubted whcth- CT we could do more to promote the cause of world peace than to convince the men who compose the parliamcnis Of the world that the limit has been reached in lyargc expenditures for arma- mcntS.
 Tn any event, the proposed con- ference would bring the powers of the world into closer union, and in many important ways would do much good.

Miss Wilt became carrier in 1904 and
her route was out of the postOffice
at Elmdale, on Santa Fe railway and
covered over 81 miles of hill and valley
roads. Although part of the route lay
over bleak hills that are fully exposed
to winters storms, yet she missed but
very few trips.
One who is handy with his pencil
figures that the number of miles travel
ed by Miss Wilt on this route would
have taken her more than three times
around the world. Can any one beat
this record?
She enjoyed the work and from
slender young girl she came to be a
hearty, stout little woman, brown from
sun and wind and so rugged that illness
Stunned her.
She was always courteous and ac-
commodating to her patrons and when
she resigned the route on September

ent in appreciation of her faithful ser
