 ed. If we can lessen the danger of war by simply giving our people access to a vast reservoir of wealth, any unnecessary delay would dam Sge our reputation as level-headed business men.
 Three facts stare us in the face:
 "G) In the absence of railway communication Alaska depends for it's defense entirely on the navy.
 "(2) We could send only a part o' our naval force to defend it., while the enemy would be free to attack with his whole force.
 "(3) If our fleet were defeated the south coast of Alaska would af- ford to the enemy the best possible base for attacking our Pacific states.
 An editorial in the Washington Post of July 16 describes the situ- ation so clearly that can do no bet ter than to quote it:
 |" If our Pacific coast is practi- cally without naval protection, as affirmed by Rear Admiral Van Key pen, a war with Japan would involve the loss of Alaska. With unlimited resources in coal and timber, the south coast of Alaska would pres ent an ideal base for an attack on our Pacific coast, being much near CT to Asia and to Puget Sound than any base that an enemy might capture on the Hawaiian Islands. This fact lends interest to a com munication in the Vancouver News Advertiser, printed elsewhere in this issue, to the effect that, as a geo. graphic necessity, Canada is the pro tector of the United States. Says our Canadian contemporary:
 ." At the mere though of another power in the possession of Alaska every Canadian feels his flesh creep, his hair stand on end. We simply could not tolerate it and should be compelled by the most obvious re- quirements of our own safety to join our forces to those of the United States in an attempt to drive away the invaders
 |" Unfortunately, so long as the British navy is tied up in the North Sea, and no railway communication exists between the United States and Alaska, even the combined land for ces of the United States and Canada could not prevent the temporary Oc- cupation of Alaska by superior naval power. From this point of view, the announcement of the early construction of a railway thru northern British Columbia to Daw- son and thence to the Alaska boun- dary becomes interesting.
 " Premier Richard Mcbride, of British Columbia expects soon to visit Ottawa and Washington to dis cuss the proposed extension of the Grand Trunk railway. It may be taken for granted that in his con- ferences with our statesmen the strategic value of the proposed rail way will not be overlooked. Branch lines would, of course, be built to connect the main line with the har- bors of Alaska, to their immense commercial benefit. When the ia cilities exist for concentrating the combined American and Canadian

MAN HUNTING PICTURES.

Rapid has been the progress made in the development of the moving pie lures since they were first brought into use for entertainment and educa- tional purposes. Steadily have they been perfected and as study has been applied to their betterment there has also been discovered many new direc- tions in which they can be utilized. They make a strong and lasting inn pression upon those who see them and their value has been recognized in tracing missing people. This may be in the case of lost children, adults who may have disappeared and those who are endeavoring to elude the arm of the law.
 It was through the moving pictures that Massachusetts man was To- cated in Japan for whose return to this country extradition was recently denied and it is through their life like picturing of his features at various gatherings in the metropolis that eff forts are to be made to locate New York's missing commissioner of parks. c.

HIGH COST INQUIRY

How the efforts which are being made to have congress take up the investigation of the continued high rrfcee can be ignored or frustrated is cEn5czlf of comprehension in view of the demand which exists for such re- lief It is of course recognized that whatever is attempted must be done w1ch eemocrztic sanction but there surely sfaould be sufficient merit in one cf the three resolutions just introduced in the house to warrant some action being taken along the line proposed

GREAT BRITAlN's ATTITUDE.

For some time past not a little en- deayor has been used in trying to maGMe 1t appear that there was a de- cided difference of opinion in this coun- try and Great Britain over the policy of this government concerning Mexico, Frequent claims of disapproval on the part of England at the course which was being pursued by this country have been put forward only to be de- nied and no more emphatic statement to that effect could be made and no more prominent stand in support of this government taken than that which has been voiced by Premier Asquith and Viscount Haldane
 Such utterances as have been made by these men of prominence are sig nificant It is particularly noteworthy as the New York Herald points out that Mir. Asquith "emphatically de- clared there never has been and e&ere never can be any question of political intervention on the part of Great Bri- tain in the domestic concerns of Mex ico' While the chancellor did not specifically refer to Mexico in his speech at the American Thanksgiving celebration in London he nevertheless made his reference clear when he said the presidents policy was a policy of right and justice and not policy of conquest"
 Such is but the recognition which could be expected from this leader of the European nations. It is such an endorsement of this country's policy which is going to mean the quickest and best solution of the Mexican ques- ton. It is a recognition of the value of peace over a long drawn out bloody

felt that Bessie was to be congratulat- ed on bsing free frem such fellow, and openly showered their contmpl upon him. "But, rsadlys said he T never could lower myself te marry a poor girl, don't you know"
 Most open in his contempt for All phonso was James Myrick, young farmer In the neighborhood. lt would do any good, I'd pound little sense into his head" declared James. but as 1t is T go to the cIty ana search out Bessie and fetch her home, if I can
 The decision he announced to the Lancasters, and left for the city to look for the missing girl.
 Her last letter, telling them not to worry about her, gave them no ad- dress but his great love told James he would certainly find her in some way.
 To the city he went, and several weeks passed by with no trace of Bes- sic. He confined his search to the re- spectable section of tl4s place, but he finally was convinced that he must look for her in the poorer parts of the town. With q sad thought for her lonely plight he began roaming the lower parts of the place, but still no sight could he obtain of the girl of his heart. In a quiet way he began to in quire her whereabouts, and at last en- COuHI0FCQ luTS6 IuAAWdyS WAOAA AS stopped to question
 In hot pursuit of them came a figure very like her he sought and yet how unlike. Lines of care and sadness had marred the face so bright and sunny. So eager was she to capture her charger, that she did not notice the gentleman who held them till she turned to thank him for his help. Then the children nearly eluded her again as she exclaimed in her surprise: " ou James? How came you here?"
 Love brought me- was the re- sponse, ''and the same love will bear you home with me, if you will go. Don't refuse for I know 1 can never face your people without you. Will you go?"
 Will I?" Yes, as soon as I can ar range with the mother of these child ren. There she comes now,' and she turned toward a woman coming up the street. Are the kids troubling you?" called she. Then seeing James "Is this friend of yours? I'll take the young ones so you can talk with him, ? and with a smile in her face she turned away. Bessie reeled unsteadily tow ards James, crying: Take me away from all this. I am so weary of it all and I'll be glad to be at home. My independence has all gone. I want to be at home and at rest. Take me home. I can no longer paddle my own canoe.

TIE BOOTH HANpsHAkE.

Ordinarily a handshake between two men of international prominence would pass as an every day matter of fact event. but greater significance is at tached to the brotheriy handshake Of Brauwen Booth who is at the head of xhe Salvation army and Ballington Booth in direct command of the Vol unfsers of America It means not only the ending Of differences which have grtsted for nearly two decades in the Booth family, but 1t should mean the swift conclusion of the bad feeling which has existed between these two great organizations laboring in the same channels for the upIift of hu- nanity. Their aims are the same and their object can be attained with bet ter grace through friendship than through strife
 General Booth lived to realize the great benefits to the world of his ex- tensive undertaking for the salvation of men Painful indeed was the break when 1t divided his family, and Bal Hngton Booth and his wife upholding the contention of the workers in this country that there was too much in terference from England, organized the Volunteers. The death of the organ izer of this great religious movement softensd the strained relations It was the beginning of the public reconcilia- ton and handshake, which mean a recognition of the futility and incon- sistency of harsh personal feelings, particularly between those who are leading great armies for righteousness. Whether the organizations become unftsd matters less. The personal break has been healed and the work win go on with better spirit and zeal from within. Though they are pur- suing the same goal under different leaders tt is far better that it be done in peace

NEW HAVEN POLICE METHODS.

The methods which are used by the police department and detective bu- reau of New Haven in the running down of vioIatoFs of the law have been given an airing by the taking into custody of a son of Rev. John A. Adams of Hartford on the charge of getting shoes under false pretenses The case was one of mistaken iden- dty, but it was the manner in which MT. Adams was treated and the iRnor- ing of the chances to verify the facts which were stated by the man arrest cd. and the evfdence which he had in his possession that he had just alight- ed from q train from New York and could not have been in New Haven when the deception was carried out which gives such bad color to the po- lice methods.
 That Mir. Adams looked enough like the fellow wanted to convince two that he was the man was the mis- fortune under which he found himself but that only demanded that those making the arrest and subsequent in vassagl&1on should have exhausted ev- ery available opportunity to prove his claims fnccrrsct- That th4s was net Gone maant his detention for several

seems to be divided as to whether or not the appropriate remedy is to be sought in state protection. Although many wild birds and other members of the animal kingdom are now com monty protected by law in civilized countries, there are few precedents for the state protection of wild plants Gone, of the few being the case of the climbing fern in the United States). The education of public opinion on this subject and other protective measures have been undertaken by a committee of the Selborne society. One proposed remedy is the establish ment of plant and fern sanctuaries, or at least gardens set aside in different localities where every rare British species might be carefully preserved and perpetuated.

When our own purpose or initiative Waxes feeble most of us are still con scious that there is a force behind that will not let us rest. A man cannot slow up nor slumber while a throng of duties and demands force him on, like hungry dogs snapping at his heels. Col. Roosevelt, praised on account of his gallant leading of his troops up San Juan hill, said that when the charge was fairly on, he had to run with all his might to stay in front and keep from getting run over And so many man may be pushed along through life by circumstances and events over which he has com paratively little control.
 We often conquer obstacles not be- cause we want to. or because we think we can. but simply because we must. There is no way out of it. The old adage that necessity is the mother of invention is true in myriad ways. When the soldiers of the Prince of Orange found themselves bottled up by their foes on a narrow strip of land, with the incoming tide on one side and high cliff on the other, their leader said: Men unless you eat the Spaniards you must drink the sea ?

expression: 'Tf I only could" A limp longing founded upon a hopeless case. What is the use of longing to do what you feel impossible. This is not the point at which words have any effect If you cannot make your desires look possible, words are simply wasted upon them. Things one cannot have. and things one can not do, are the things to forget. for to get into a yearning mood is to in- vite unhappiness; and that is the most unprof1table business any one ever devoted time to. There is hard ly any thing impossible to those who are diligent in small things. Doing things we can do right at hand, is generally the straight way to things which begin with seem to be out of our reach. Longing for things is like whistling up the wind, or explaining as the reason you wrote a long letter. was because you didn't have time to make it short.

Sometimes a man becomes agnostic regarding the doctrine of divine Prov idence because he has seen no beck oning hand in his own career. And yet he may discern guidance if he looks for it alright. He may discover plenty of circumstances calculated to push him if not many to pull him. He finds himself practically shut up to one course. All other possibilities are eliminated. He cannot retreat, but must go forward along the only road that lies open.
 He leadeth me" is indeed bless ed thought as the good old hymn says it is. For purposes of pure comfort and courage there is nothing quite equal to the faith that the hand of God is in ones life. Only let one real ize that guidance may. be accomplish ed not only by some friendly pillar of fire before him, but by whole troops of harassing fees and stern necessi- ties behind that rouse him to endeavor sting him into action and send him along the way he ought to go.

 The enemy plays a larger part in our development than we always real ize. Many a man, not conscious of being led by a star, is yet aware that he is being prodded by a sharp stick. Pressure is on him from behind. He is compelled by his necessities. It is the enemy in the form of hunger, suffering, loss, dependent relatives or some such fact that spurs him to &C., ton.
