COOKS.
(By George Fitch. ]

A cook is a genius who is able
 to combine the contents of a
 meat market and a grocery store
 insuch a manner as to tempt a man to Overeat himself whether
 he is hungry or not.
 Cooking is tn" greatest pro-
 fession in the world. There are upwards of 25,OOO,OOO cooks in ithis country alone and a number of them are good cooks. The difference between a good cook and a bad cook is greater than the. difference between Heaven and the feveriSh attitudes.
 A good cook can take an oid shoe, a little salt and some edi- ble debris of various sorts ana make a soup from them which would cause Republican to f"r- get last Novcmber'S cleciI"n and sing for joy. A bad cook can lakr a cross section Of a sweet and tnoIhsomc young COW and al- neal it SD successfully that the hungry diner will eat his nap kin instead.
 Cooks. like Nioinists. are born --nnt made. some women can mix ii ingredients by guess, bake them until they haN" finished a story and produce a maStrrplrrr which will make the eater yell for more. Other women cook IWitI d pair of apot hrrary's scales and a stop watch and produce only woe and dyspepsia.
 Cooking is duty of woman and eating the result is. a duty of man. The more duty | he sad der the world. But cooking can also be made a pas lme,. an ar- rOmpliShmcnt. an art and an ln- Spirat ion in which cases cal ing he results soon becomes a dlssl- patiOn
 On cooking depends the hap pinrss of matrimOny. Love usu- ally lasts as long as digestion. Good cooking cements a family ,lnbrrakabIy together, while bad cooking drives it bowling to the lunch counter and the divorce court.
 In spite of all these things, llo- body pays much attcntl ion to cook ing. We spend millions in this country teaching our girls to write in a neat. round hand, which will go out of style as soon as the new copybOOks come in. But we spend very little in teaching them how to take a pint of flour and treat it With beneficent re- suits.
 Education cannot produce kitchen geniuses. but it can nit igate the amateur cook to a won. derful degree. In these days o1 conservation the American stom- ach appears to have been over looked. Until medical science is able to install new digestive eGuipmcnt at a small expense the American stomach ought to be conserved with jealous care for the benefit of the American dis pOsitiOn.

ALASKAN RAILWAY.

The telegraphic report today to the effect President Taft will rec ommend that the proposed Amer ican federal railway for Alaska connect with the present Copper River X Northwestern road. is one of general interest to people of this territory as we'll as through out the n"rthland.
 The road recommended by President Taft need not be adopt ed by congress. and. in view of the fact Mr. Taft quits business at the White House in less than q month and the Democrats will fake control of the affairs. il is doubtful if he was warranted in using so much government ink as tO write a recommendation at this eleventh hour. The chief and probably the only purpose it will serve will be to show his hand as to his attitude in the game. The record may be interesting to future generations. The Demo- crats will do about as they please without much hallowed hardening back for the opinions of the man from Ohio.
 The report of the railway con- mission, now being formulated, will command more respect and may be followed. It is said to be in favor of the Seward and ldita- rod route. If SO, it will open a country now less served by rail- ways than at from CordoVa. but none no more resOurceful. If it is true the Guggenheims are trying to control the Iditarod reg ion, they may want road there as we'll as from COrdOVa, and it is known they are making an effort to work off the glacier-plagued and slide-pestered Copper River & Northwestern on the govern ment. If the Taft recOmmenda- Sion is accepted they may succeed.
 But from all practical northern men long in the field, the most feasible and practicable and ser viceablc trunk line that can be built in the North will be one to run from Haines to the head of the Panama, passing through the Rainy Hollow, White River, Tan ana, Rampant, Ruby and Nome mining regions, and opening oth- CT fields with spurs to right and left. Such a line would be only 1850 miles or so by direct route

THE MAIL.

Why the postal department should change the routing of the mail from Valdez, which has glN- pn a sure. certain, constant sef- vice. to that via CordoNa, the roulc of frequent delays, ,uncrrlHIn delivery. can only be explained by stating that the Northern Com mercial company and the Alaska Syndicate dictate the policy of the postofficG department.
 If the mail can be delivered via the Cordova route to the people of Fairbanks and Nome quicker than via Valdez, then it should be sent that way.
 The facts are that for the two wears the mail has been sent from Cordova, 1911 and 1912, the de- livery at Fairbanks has averaged three hours slower than that via Valdez. The past winter no pre- tense to deliver mail on schedule was ever made by the railroad. Were it not for the enterprise of Valdez merchants in keeping the trail open to demonstrate to the people of the interior that this is the best route, and the fact that we expected and wne prepared for what did happen, interior towns would be getting mail three, four and five weeks late. The fact is that the postal de- partment knows this is true, yet they order the' mail of interior people about as if it were but a plaything of the "Guggs."
 The mail should be routed via Valdez, not because We want it, but because we can do the work better than it can be done from Cordova.

Eighty Per Cent of Them
Have Never Appeared
in English.

Fully so per cent of the authors
whose writings appear In THE
German Classics" have never APP
peared in English, and thus have
been held beyond the reach Of
Americans. except the limited few
who have some understanding Of
German. and the majority OF
those, probably, would get more
from good translation than by
reading the original.
The publication of this work is
thus the opening OF new CONT
nent to the intellectual occupancy
of Americans, whose possession
by us will widen and enrich our
treasury of thought and create q
new sense of fraternal relation
with a people of the same stock
as ourselves and one with us in
all that is best in our national
life.

ERMAN SCHEFTAUER, in
a translation from the Ger
man printed by Doran,
presents a thoughtful study Of
the women's movements as seen
by the well-known European
writer, Rosa Mayreder. From one
of the chapters l note these sug-
gestive thoughts:
ut is undeniable that there are
many women who go far beyond
the average in regard to intellect
and strength of character, and
many who are well qualified for
careers and occupations other
than those customary to the sex.
There arc many--but are these
enough?
"At ell periods of the worlds
history there have been women
who have equaled or even excelled
the majority Of men in intelli-
gence and In energy; yet they
have not been able to alter the
social position OF their sex either
in the matter of tive law or in
regard to standards of opinion.
They we're exceptions, and have
been treated as such They were
exceptions-that Is to say, they
were not specimens Of new line
Of development; they were not
pioneers opening out new routes
for future generation to follow
and develop; they had no suc-
cessors.
But the battle between the
normal majority and the indi-
vidual deviating from the normal
and striving to break down it's
tyranny goes down deep into the
constitution of society; and the
process is nothing less than the
organic evolution of civilization.
There are some who will have
nothing to do with external rules,
they will not obey the traditional
code of laws, but will listen only
to the behests of their own ma
ture. The destiny Of such ino-
vators varies according to the
force of their personality, ire
spective of their field of intel
lectual activity. They may be
merely ridiculed or ignored, they
may be misunderstood or perse-
euted, their end may be misery,
insanity or a martyrs death.
"Such men are in truth martyrs
in the cause Of humanity. To
them we owe every forward step
in the progress Of the race from
the condition of beasts up to the
noblest and Hottest civilization.
And when a people ceases to pro-
duce such individuals 1t sinks into
petrifaction or stagnation; It's
power of development dies away.

comphshing this. SO does the
social interchange effected by in
ternational travel To this should
be added such reciprocity between
tho universities of two nations
like that which is being main
tanned between us and Germany,
by which each gives to the other
the temporary loan OF its more

Railroads and canals, mines and
immense harvests sustain a GER
tain relation TO national great
ness, but the mind OF q man has
a significance not attaching either

what is true of a man, consid-
cred as an individual, is peculiar
ly true of man considered collec-
lively and nationally.
The United States has shown
rather n frenzied ambition to eN-
tend its landed domain, but the
opening UP to us of the treasures

least twenty dollars each. And
she keeps no more live stock than
she can raise feed for.
