SCHOOL ADVANCEMENT.

Ihcrc is a movement going on among Inc children throughout the states for the identification of their school grounds. \ great dcal of work in lhis direction has been done, giving impetus io the movement which promises most desirable results, inc fruits of which will bc enjoyed for gcncr- aIiOnS lo follow.
 Opposition has been expressed in some quarters against any ai- tempt IO adOrn school grounds on the theory that children will destroy them. The interest Inc children themselves take in the work is n rcfutation of the claim. If there bc vandals among them, then il is lime they were taught io conserve public property. No doubt they will be restrained by their fellow pupils and the lesson taught will bc good one. Taught

to preserve public property. they will likely observe the rules per taining to the preservation of private property. The presence of flowers and plants on the school grounds will have the effect of 'instilling into the careless a due regard for the rights of others. and, of course, the youngsters will learn tO love flowers if they uo not already possess that af- and the effects of that 'alnne upon a community cannot be OvrrrSiimatrd.

ADMITS OF PERFiDY.

The speech made by Martin llarrais in Juneau is a most re-
 narkaDle confession on the part of the candidate nominated for delegate to congress by the runp convention. By his own admis- sion, voluntarily made, he came t0 the Democratic convention in structcd for Jennings, "whOsc candidacy interior Alaska Dem rrats' unqualificdly favored" and yet boltcd that convention 10 further his own candidacy under the excuse "ihat l was also in- Structrd tO rmharraSS the pres "nt national committeeman, Mir. Daly, as much as pnSSibl".'
 Probably il did not prrcnlair through IIarrais' skull that his instruction related to the Demo cratic convention that nominated R. w. Jennings and did not con- template his bnlting the convrn- lion. IL is within the range of possibilities lahi had Marii in lIar- raiS remained true lu his il- >iruclinnS Daly could have been defeated. In view of the admi>- -innS mad" by .IIarrais We arc willing iu leave Inc honesty of his tIrIhnhS tn the bar of public "piniun. Mr.. IIarraiS cannot claim that he was led away hy an overwhelming sentiment or car ricd or his feet hy a Siamprdr. iur he personally was leader in the movement In nbSlrucl the very organization of the cunvrn- lion which was in and did nom- mate k. w. Jennings in r0nSu- nance with the instructions of the people of interior Alaska. Al nu time during IIarrais' stay in Wal deg did he make such a .rrlara- lion as Inc made in Juneau and lIr certainly nIadr m plea to the delegates assembled in furIhrr- nncr of what hr thought the vol CTS who sent him here wanted.
 llarraiS came here as a candi- date for drlrgate to congress. Within tllr writer's own hrarin- !Ir denied he was a candidate for atInnal '..ulIIiIlrrman and lac lily avOWrd he was in the hands of John Mn". OConnnr and Frame. The situation in null shell iS that Sharklrford. who iS chief counsel for Inc TrcadwiII company and political agent for inc Gu@g"nhrimIS, who hates and fears Jennings. saw all oppor- iunily tn kill two birds wiIh one stone. TrradwrIl delegates were instructed !n vote fur IIarraiS. and Framr and O'Connor iirklrd his vanity In serve their deeper end: A faithful rrndrring ni service in Treadwrll and inc Syn dicatr. while UCnnnOr. hy the move had himself recommended as national committeeman and Frame for territorial committee man. knowing full well that liar raiS never could br elected and in ease of Democratic victory in national offices O'GOnnnr and Frame would control inc Drmnr- racy. while Shacklrf0rd and Trcadw"ll would be rrvrngrd on Jennings. What gives the siiu alton mOr" color is the fact that upon reaching Juneau 'lIarrais immediately proceeded io Tread well, wlI"r" hr was tn rullSIIiia- lion With Manager Kinzir and ll"brrl. the Iilan employed by caldwell and who gave Ihc Trradw"lI proxies tO Frank Bach Io be voted for lIarraiS. Mr. IIarrais has every reason tO rX- prcL 200 non-uniOn Trradwcll votes, which they have promised io give him. This is the only pro cinrt he will carry in Ihr First Judicial division.

The issue of tax certificates from the
office OF Assessor w. p. Richards is look
ed upon as barometer of the activity
In the real estate market. A tax certifi-

erty shown by the land records, while
the assessor furnishes the information in
regard to the taxes
A resume Of the work of this Office is
when there is supposed to be a winter
dullness on in the real estate market
Since 1908 there has been steady in
crease each year in the issue of tax
certificates. The fiscal year 1908 showed
LIZA certificates issued, 1909 total of
sl24, 1910 9.196 and 1911 S.937, or a
slight decrease over 1910. Since the begin
ming Of the current fiscal year, in July
last. marked increase is shown, as
o,372 certificates were issued from July
l. 1911. to January 81. 1912. or an aver
age of 167 per month. This average Is
higher than any year since 1905 The
total of certificates issued during jan
uary numbered over 800. the largest is
sue In any one month for the past ten
years. The increase of the certificates
since July l has been gradual. each
month showing an advance over the pre-
vious one. eliminating in January with
the record breaker of 500 certificates.
Owing to the system adopted, the work
is done very expeditiously. as a certifi-
cate can be secured within twenty-four
hours after the application is made. In
the past fifteen years. there has been an
increase of nearly SO per cent in the
number of certificates issued, and yet
there has been no increase in the force
of clerks, while there has been a short
ening Of the time required in answering
applications.

Remarkably successful results have fol-

in Berkshire and adjacent unions in the
counties Of Oxford and Buckingham of
way tickets and bread stations for deal
ing with the yagrancy problem. The
idea is thus to discriminate between the
professional tramp and the wayfarer
honestly in search Of work. The system
was put into operation in this area a
year ago. the result being that, as COM
pared with 1910. the number Of Migrants
admitted to the casual wards has de-
creased from 1862 to 94929.

From the Westminster Gazette.

According to an article in the Revue.
the number OF Professionals in France is
decreasing. They now number 100000.
The Lutherans. who numbered more than
. quarter Of q million In 1870. can now
boast OF q membership of only $4,000 in
France. The Calvinists are the most
numerous sect left, numbering over half
million. But they are losing ground.
At the same time the political influence
Of the French Professionals Is out OF all
proportion to their numbers. This the
