ALASkA-CaNADA BOUNDARY
 SURVEY.

Since the summer of 1909 the joint commission appointed by inc United States and the Cana dian governments to locate and mark the boundary line separating British territory from Alaska has been actively engaged in this work, pushing the line norlhward from Yukon to Porcupinc river by the end of the 1910 season. Last summer the field operations were advanced farther along that part of the one hundred and f"rly-first meridian which cX- tends from the Porcupinr river |" Inc Arctic ocean, and il is be- li"vcd that the present wear will witness the completion of this rart of the survey.
 Realizing that its wcll-cquip- ped field organization afforded :lnuSnal facilities in this remote and rather inaccessible region for gathering much information not directly connected with the par iicular work of locating and marking the boundary line, the joint commission extended an in- HitatiOn. which was readily ac- cepted, 10 the Geological Survey If Canada and the United States Geological Survey to send geolo- gists to accompany the field par ties during 1911 and 1912, and to examine the geology along The boundary from the Yukon to the Arctic
 The most satisfactory arrange mcnt for making such a geologic examination in the two summers appeared to be to assign one of the two sections of the line to each government, as otherwise there would have been much du- plication of work and the observ- CTS would be required to traverse inc whole length of both sections. Under the arrangement adopted inc Canadian grOlOlgists under took to examine the southern OF IukOn-POrcupinc section and the Unified States GcOlOlgiSts the nor thcrn or Pnrcupine-Arctic sec tiOn.
 The United States gcologists last year commenced field cxami- nations in June and carried their work nOrihward approximately 100 miles. to the hcadwaters of Firth river, which flows into the Arctic ocean.-Bulletin of United SIAtrS Geological Survey.

THE POLITICAL GOAT.

Gov. Marshalrs introduction of the goat into Our politics was happy and timely. No doubt mil lions of his fcllOw-goats will be thankful for the recognition that they have recevied.
 The political goat is much more numerous than most people sup pose. The man who pays taxes for the benefit of another man is a goat. The man who thinks that tariffs were devised solely for the purpose of raising wages is a goat. The man not on the ground floor who approves MT. Tafts ve- toes of the bills reducing the cost of living is a goat. The man who believes that Mr. ROOsevelts wing of the Mark Hanna party is any better than the other wing is a goat. The man who imagincs that the corporations and trusts did not get what they paid for in 1896, 1900, I0Ol and 1908 is a goat.
 To recognize ones self as a goat is the beginning of political wisdom.

WHY DENY IT.?

There is a rule of court pro-
 cedure which Mir. Roosevelt evi-
 dently has overlooked in his an- alysis of the PenrOsc charges. The dispatches of the last few hours show that the Colonel has
 accepted as a fact the statement of PcnrOsc that he, PcnroSc, act
 ually did receive from the Stand ard Oil company S25,OOO This,
 Roosevelt says, is sufficient to warrant the impeachment of Sen ator Prnrosc.
 But, according to the rule of evidence above referred io, Roosc- welt must, if he accepts the Pen
 rose statement regarding that 25,000, likewise accept the Pen rose statement that the ROosc- welt campaign fund benefited to the extent of slOO,OOO in 1904 from the same Standard Oil source. If he accepts the one as true, he must accept both: or, if he rejects one he must reject the other. IL is true, of course, that Mr. Roosevelt does not deny that Standard Oil gave money tn his 1904 fund, but. he says. if it did, the acceptance was contrary to his orders as expressed in a couple of letters written few days before inc election. and. it iS said, after the money had been received and spent.
 MP. RoOScvclt'S position would have bean more compatible with frankncss and sincerity had he admitted from the beginning the truth of the matter which is that money was received. His shifty position leaves him in pickle from which extrication is going to be very difficult. It is a per- fectly well known fact that many large corporations contributed to his 1904 fund, just as they are now contributing and as they have contributed for many years. Why deny it?
