REQUIREMENT OF COOKS.

The woman's demand for a cook
who could stand the heat was per-
fectly reasonable, but it threw the
employment agent into an argument
tative mood.
"What difference does that make
now?" he said. Summer is over.
There won't be any heat for her to
stand"
ooh, yes, there will be over my
coal range" said the woman. There
are a lot of dishes that a girl who
is susceptible to heat never can cook
as well as one who is not. Hot
breads belong in that class. They
require a hot oven, and the girl who
feels the heat doesn't get it hot
enough. She is at the roasting point
herself and imagines the oven is in
the same condition when it lacks
several degrees of the required tenn
perature. Using herself for a ther-
mometer, that same girl will begin
to bake griddle cakes before the fire
is hot enough and spoil half the
batch"

FOREIGN COAL FOR ALASKA
Territory Produces Little, and Other
Countries Must Be Called on to
Remedy Deficiency.

Though something has been known
of Alaska coal for more than sixty
years, the amount of actual mining,
according to the United States geo
logical survey, has been Insignificant.
The total production since the terri
tory was acquired from Russia is
less than 10000 tons. This is all
The more significant because during
this time more than 100000 tons
OF coal have been shipped into Alas.
ka, and all but 20 per cent. Of it
was from foreign fields. The Bering
river and Matanuska coal fields of
Alaska are stated by Alfred II.
Brooks Of the geological survey in
a recent report to constitute the only
known sources Of h~igh-grade coal
near either the eastern or the vest
ern shore Of the Pacific ocean, unless
such fuels may be had from the in
land coal field of China. They are
therefore Of great importance to the
industries of the Pacific coast. From.
them must come the high grade
%steaming and coking coal and an
thracite needed by the growing pop
ulation in the seaboard states. IN
less they are utilized the manufac-
turing and smelling industries Of
that region and the ships of the
American navy in the Pacific must
depend largely on foreign fields, ex-
cept as coal may be brought around
Cape Horn and through the Pana-
ma canal. Alaska's own need for
high-grade coal can be supplied only
from those two fields, unless it is
furnished by such foreign fuel as is
transported for a thousand miles or
more.

World Wide" Causes.

Already during this session Of
Congress many OF the orators
among the Standpat Republicans
have tried to explain the pre-
vailing high prices with the az
gument that the high price wave
is worldwide. This is another
of the half truths which the Re
publicans seek to have the people
accept as a whole excuse.
Nh. r. H. Hooker, of London,
read a paper before the Royal
Statistical society of England re-
Gently, in which he showed that
the increasing cost of "all com
modities'' was twice as much in
high-protection Germany and
high-prOtection United States, as
IN free trade England.
Comparing food prices fol
this year with $780, said Mr.
Hooker, "we find there has
been am increase of l per cent
in France 8 per cent in Eng
land; % per cent in Germany
% per cent in Canada, and -
per cent in the United States.
Why is it that world widc
causes" result in an increase Of
l and s per cent in France anC
England, and "a per cent in thi,
country?

The Reciprocity act passed
last summer provided for the re-

paper imported from Canada.
This provision did not require
Canada's endorsement. Since
then more than so independent

business in opposition to the

Coming in with the new year
1912, a year in which the Demo
cratic hosts confidently expect to
elect a president and march into
the promised land, the JHck-
SON day banquet in Wash
ington Jan. s, marks a triumph
In the ascendency of the Demo-
cracy that has not been signi-
fled in amy similar gathering in
many yeas.
With an array of leaders at the
banquet board such as the party
has not boosted for, perhaps a
half a century; with 700 prom
ment party men present from
far and wide to add Importance
and brillance-this coupled
with the knowledge of all that
the enemy is hopelessly divided
and dumbfounded, makes the
jackson day gathering an aus
piciOus occasion to every demo-
GRAFT.
On the list of speakers are to
be found the names of Norman
E. Mack of New York, chairman
of the national Democratic COM
mittee; Champ Clark of Missouri,
speaker of the Democratic House ;
Joseph w. Folk, ex-governor of
Missouri; James T. Lloyd, chair
man of the National Democrat
ic Congressional committee Will
lam j. Bryan of Nebraska, three
times Democratic candidate for
President Woodrow Wilson, gov
ernor of New Jersey John w.
Kern, United States Senator
from Indiana William R. Hearst
of New York; Alton B. Parker
Of New Yok; and United States
Senators Chas. F. Johnson of
Maine and Atlee Pomerene of
Ohio, with Senator James A.
0'Gorman of New York City as
postmaster.
When the banquet was first
mentioned it was not expected
that it would grow to the prop
ortions in Importance that it has.
Much of the credit is due Nat
ional Democratic Committeeman
Edwin A Newman of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, who, because
Of the selection Of Washington
as the meeting place has been
practically wholly in charge Of
the arrangements.
Mr. Newman, however, has
had the assistance of two adyis-

democrats, one named by Chain

Protection and immigration.

High protectionists always adj
dress their appeals to farmers
and workingmen. High tar
iff," they argue, "'means high
prices for farm products and
high wages for the workers"
Last year $4,000 American
farmers, all of whom were sup
posed to be enjoying the fruits of
a high tariff, left this country
and went to Canada. In the
same period approximately a
million laborers came to this
country from abroad, 81 per cent
of them coming from the south
of Europe, where wages are low,
education almost nothing, and
standards of living primitive
and filthy. These laborers are
taken in by the trusts at wages
but little better than they got at
home, and under conditions of
employment unthinkable to
American workingmen.
Thus the high tariff drives
out good American farmers, and
brings in--whatY
