TAILORs DISCOVER THE ENGINEER
From the Engineerir1n News


AT last the knights of the tape measure
and scissors have discovered the en-
gineer. They have actually taken the
trouble to design coat specially suite to
meet the needs of the enginere. APP
parently they haven't got to the trousers
yet or, perhaps. we are to tacitly assume
that the engineer, being addicted to over
alls, is not deserving of trousers--at least
not specially designed professional pants.
The perpetrators of the new coat for en-
gineers state that 1t is made either out
of ''Duxbak, which is waterproofed
material, or ''Kamp-it," which isn't.
The advantages of the various flaps and
pockets are apparent to the experienced
surveyor. Inside pockets are provided for
pipes, tobacco. etc, on both sides of the
coat. and on the right side is a small in
side pocket designed for matches.

SONG
BY Robert Bridges.

BY Robert Bridges.
have loved flowers that fade,
Within whose magic tents
Rich hues have marriage made
With sweet unmemoried scents.
A honeymoon delight.
A joy of love at sight,
That ages in an hour
My song be like a flowerl
l have loved airs. that die
Before their charm is writ
Along a liquid sky
Trembling to welcome 1t.
Notes, that with pulse of fire
Proclaim the spirits desire,
Then die, and are nowhere:
My song be like an airl
Die, song, die like breath,
And wither as a bloom.
Fear not a f1owery death,
Dread not an airy tomb.
Fly with delight. fly hence.
Twas thine loves tender sense
To feast; now on thy bier
Beauty shall shed q tear.

The Manchester COMPLIANT

'The usual Manchester, England, COM
plant of the mixing of grade and staple
in American cotton has been sent out in
the press dispatches" said one time cot
ton man.
What seems passing strange to me is
the phianthropic purpose affected in the
statement that this mixing results in
cheapening the product of the farmer. So
1t does; but why should the cotton spin
ners complain of the cheapening acts OF
cotton producers? Isn't it well known
business fact that cotton mills wish their
raw material at the very lowest possible
cost? Then, too, how absurd the propo-
sition that ginners be required to clean
their saws after ginning long staple cot
ton. 1t appears to me that some person
of impractical knowledge is charged with
the duty of the publicity of certain busl-
ness needs of the cotton industry. For
instance, the absurd proposition that the
cotton planters be urged to use uniform
staple seed The fact is, cotton culture
Is the crudest form Of agricultural work in
the world when value of the product is
considered. Its handling is well nigh
primitive, comparatively speaking. Take

Pleasing Thanksgiving Day Feature.

AT an early hour Thanksgiving morn
ing, d number of our citizens wer,
reused from slumber and other early
morning occupations by the enchanting
strains Of some well known hymn. In.
vestigation revealed the fact that mem
bers of the Congregational church
choir, sixteen strong, were rendering
the music from a bus, in which they
were being conveyed to different parts
of the city, where thes sang for the
benefit of the sick and shut-ins, making
about score of stops. The perform
ers gathered at the church "a about six
o'clock for this commendable purpose,
and many were the words of praise for
their beautiful singing, which was high
ly appreciated at all the homes.

the members of the ID. r. K. Staats-
yerhand of Wisconsin held meeting at

the community could be proud of. He

and interesting topics to speak on and
urged the ladies to unite the spiritual
with the material for the sustenance of
home and church. Rev. Weyer's words
of good cheer and humorous sayings
added zest aud pleasure to the occasion.

there was large attendance, and the
interest awakened at this meeting will
no doubt bring good results The aud
fence hopes to have the pleasure of
hearing these eloquent speakers agala
next summer.

NUMBER so
Justice. Time and Money.

-Four years ago an Ohio woman sued
her city for $50, 600 damages for an in
jury due to defective sidewalk. In
the first court she was awarded that
mount, but the city appealed and the
circuit court ordered new trial. The
woman's lawyers appealed and the su
preme court of the state also ordered
new trial. When the lower court took
up the case again, the jury returned
verdict for 500 damages Again the
city appealed, but the court was sus-
tanned, and after four years the woman
received her 800.
Four years and who knows how much
in lawyers fees? Five hearings of her
case and verdict for 500. There is
something wrong with this, and people
know there is something wrong, II
500 was the just recompense, then it
ought not to have been reduced, proba-
bly, consumed, by the cost Of collection.
And it ought not to have taken four
years. Moreover, not only the woman
money was lost, but the pubic's money
that paid the judges was wastefuly
used 1t must have been the lawyers
fault, but if the courts cannot discour-
age such practice, who can? The sim
pie fact remains that when the time
element and the cost element are not
considered, justice is not melted out
Here is case which fits to a nicely
with the affair of the collapsed bank of
this city. Why are the courts so mac
tive, so Indifferent to wiles and maneu-
vers to confiscate the creditors money
via the route of fees and salaries?
Should not the courts be aware at the
start of the various suits in cases of
this kind tat the creditors are the
innocent victims without fail ?

SECRETARY LANES PLANS.

ECRETARY LANE not only favors Oa government owned railroad sys-
 tenn for Alaska, connecting the interior of the Territory with the coast, but he believes that the time is at hand when the government should set itself about the task of pre- pairing to give the people of the North direct rail communication with the States, and he will urge that negotia- tiOns be entered into with Canada at once looking to this end.
 Mr. Lane has not been idle during the few months that he has been at the head of the Interior Department He has grasped the Alaska situation as no man heretofore connected with that Department of the government has comprehended it. He understands fully what it means to the Nation to have a new country with the wonder ful resources possessed by Alaska opened up for settlement and develop ment. and he suggests that the work of opening it up should be proceeded with in scientific and sound, economic manner rather than by piecemeal and patchwork.
 The plans of Mir. Lane should be worked out. The people of the Ma tion would find it profitable to expend the money necessary to work them out.

ALASKA DAY
Q O

~ CTOBER EIGHTEENTH, the an O niversary of the raising of the
 American flag in Alaska, has been officially designated as Alaska s birthday. The Legislature of the Ter ritory has made the day a legal holi- day. and its observance as such to- morrow by the people of the Territory has been recommended by executive proclamation. The holiday was chris tened Alaska Day" a name that had been given to the 18th of October by common consent for a good many years
 This is as it should be. The peo- pie of Alaska can we'll afford to de- vote one day Of the year to celebrat- iug the fact that they are AIaskans and that Alaska is American territory over which the Stars and Stripes floats as the emblem of liberty. en- lightmeut and progress" Alaska is a great country, populated by earnest. industrious, pUrpoSeful and patriotic people These people have come here because here are opportunities for them to improve their conditions and room for the expansion and develop meut of their energies and abilities The opportunities were made available because the wisdom of those at the head Of the Nation halfcentury back induced the acquisition of the land by the United States. What is more appropriate. then, than that the anniversary of the day on which the actual transfer of Alaska took place should be observed by the direct bene- Gciaries of that transaction as a day of rejoicins and celebrating?
 California and her Admission Day" have set a precedent in this matter for Alaska and her Alaska Day" In that State one day has been set apart from the others of the year to be devoted to things that are Cali fornian and to commemorate the final act that connected California and CaiifOruians directly with the great American Republic for all time There is none in the great pioneer State of the Pacific Coast but that is glad that the custom of observing Admission Day" as a holiday was inaugurated and that custom has decreed its gen eral celebration. Likewise will it be in Alaska with her own holiday. In fact. in many sections of Alaska the people already have been observing Alaska Day" for several years.
 October 18th is destined to be- come one of the notable days in the Northern calendar.
