Congressman Helm of Kentucky has poor opinion of army officers and West Point or he has some personal grievance which he is given the op- house of representatives. He declares that West Point sends out inefficient military men and that these military men are jealous and touchy and lots of other things. Evidently he must have made a very strong attack Otherwise it would hardly he consid . cred worth telegraphing his words all over the country. even to this faraway Alaska where telegrams are very costly luxury indeed.
 Now. Mir. Helm may have met in- efficient iri!itary officers and military officers who are jealous and touchy. No one could deny for q moment that West Point is not the breeding ground for supermen. Even the houses of congress might contain men who are unfit for deifcation. Indeed most humans have little of the old Adam in them and We can all get n bit touchy and jealous if the occasion arises. not excepting Congressman Helm himself.
 As a matter of fact attacks such as those delivered by Helm are often the offffspring of those very faults. exist . ence in the character of the attacker.
 Mir. Helm has made wonderful discovery if it is a fact that West Point turns out men with all the faults that he attributes to its past students. The country has for many years believed in West Point and many pages of the history of the United States have been written with the blood of the boys who went there. Their 'inefficiency" has been proven

THE AMERICANS ELECTION FIG
 UREs ACCURATE.

The American itself did not realize on the day after election how re. markedly accurate were the returns published in its columns that morn- ing. A comparison. however. of the American's election figures with the final full count compiled yesterday by the Associated Presa show how extra ordinarily close the American wac % the actual result.
 On the morning after election tne American gave Wilson a plurality over Roosevelt of 2.aos.57o. which the Associated Press reduces to 2.2?s.Sos. difference of some 8l.000 votes which. in a total of nearly l5.90O. 900. is a variation of only about s-l5 of per cent.

WILSON AND WEALTH.

The president elect has surely be- gun well. Within the past few days we learned of his democratic desire to have the inaugural ball dispensed with and also of his recommenda- tions to the New Jersey state iegis- lature to pass laws which will make certain offences on the part of cor porations punishable by imprison- ment.
 This certainly looks like the intro- duction to a new order of things. If Mir. Wilson had acted in such a man. ner before election 1t might we'll be thought that he did so for effect. but now that the election is over 1t is certain that he must be sincere.
 Up to the present time Woodrow Wilson does not seem to have made one mistake while he has at various times shown the finest and most man ly and most progressive qualities.
 It has been a pleasure to read of his relations with President Taft throughout the whole election tur- moil. Both have been gentlemen in every sense of the word. but what Is still better. both have proved them selves men. Mir. Taft, however. had the fault of leaning too much toward the strong and the successful; MT Wilson is u man for the majority.

BALo.hEAoEo WOMEN.

Alas, now comes q Washington physician with the awful announce ment that we may expect race of bald headed women. He thinks the children of bald headed fathers ara developing a new species of the hu- man family. He even makes the nat tering assertion that loss of hair is indicative of mental elevation and a step in the evolution of man from the hairy beast to the highest type of co .,VPv ~-y headed woman is far distant. It par alyzes the imagination to picture a bevy of beautiful women with bald heads. Would they be beautiful? Says Pope:
 Fair tresses mans imperial race
 ensnare.
 And beauty draws us with single
 hair."
 ing that increased mental effort means the loss of hair. our women are fac ing serious situation in these days of suffrage and feminine activity.
 Of course. even at the cost of be- coming bald headed, that work must go on. but there will always remain wigs. and as our ancestors wore wigs when there was real hair a-plenty. they may solve the question when real hair Is scarce.-Ex.

GUST u. S. EMBASSY
Building Occupied by Herrick in
Paris Is for Rent.
American Ambassador Hasn't Stuff

Property and Landlord Loses

Paris.-The Paris diplomatic world
Is enjoying quiet smile over the
American embassy's discontinue In
receiving a notice asking 1t to move
from its present quarters, thus prov
ing once more that America abroad is
at the mercy of the landlord.
The embassy's quarters, at is Ave
nue. Kleber, which have been occupied
for the last sixteen years, are now
decorated with billboard inviting
rental as a shop The billboard is
placed almost parallel with the ma
tional escutcheon.
The officials of the embassy in an
swer to a direct query inferred that
the monetary question lies at the root
of the difficulty, as $4,000 nowadays
does not allow the chancellery to OBJ
tain what Is necessary in food and
suitable quarters The incident has
brought the question of a proper resi-
dence for the ambassador to the front
once more. Even those who with some
difficulty understand that an American
ambassador may be compelled to pay

is impossible to raise any legal objec-
ton to the action of the landlord, as
he has proceeded entirely within his
rights. The rental allowance for the
chancellory has remained at 81 1000 for
the past sixteen years, while in every
quarter Of Paris rents have Increased
from 10 to 35 per cent. during that
period.
The Quarter Etoile has been espe-
cially affected by this increase, owing
TO the invasion of the district for bush
ness purposes. The Champs Elysees,
which sixteen years ago had not a
single shop on it, now contains more
than 200 stores of various kinds, in

addition to many hotels. The condi~
ton on the Avenue Kleber is similar,
and where to go for a location is the
all important question. 1t was adj
mitted at the embassy with great re-
fuctance that if it was left to the
mercy of the landlord it would be liza
BILE to eviction on three months mo-
tice. Almost the same difficulty was
experienced during the ambassadorial
terms of Washburn, Morton and Eus-
it's, but the trouble was not so fragrant
then. as rentals were much lower.
1t may be possible to find decent
premises on the Rue de ChaiIlot or
the Place des Etats Unis. The pres
ent location is central for Americans,
being near the telegraph and post
offies, but it is difficult of access for
the foreign ministries, as White and
Bacon previously occupied the resi-
dence on the Rue Francois Premier
which is now tenanted by Ambassador
Herrick. This has generally been re-
garded as an official residence provid
ed by the United States government
and much surprise was expressed
when it was learned that the Ameri-
can government owns no embassy, al
though England, Germany, Russia,
China and even Liberia own theirs.
These embassies, legations and chan
celleries are located in the smartest
quarters of Paris and the rentals paid
by other foreign representatives here
are in every case greater than those
paid by the United States in the Rue
Kleber.
