NJ MAIL ROUTE
 ID VALDEZ CREEK Miners Complain That Although Sev- enty Men In Camp No Mail Ser
 vice Is Provided.

The Valdez Commercial Associa- ton is in receipt of letter from the Valdez Creek Placer Mines ask ing for assistance in securing mail route from Paxsons to the postoffice at Mckinley, which is located about sixty miles west of Paxsons, on the government wagon road.
 The letter states that an effort was made last winter with the department at Washington to have regular sup ply of mail during the summer sea- son. thare being from seventy to eighty men in camp during the per- iod from June 1 to September 30, but no action has been taken by the department.
 The Commercial Association will take the matter up, with the Post master General strongly urging that this service be provided. The mail would connect with the summer mail, which leaves Valdez on the first and fifteenth of each month for Gulkana and would be carried to Paxsons on the Gulkana-Dempsey route.

THE p,sEsTABLlsHMENT BILL

The Established Church of Wales is the established church no longer. The third reading of the Welsh dis establishment bill having passed the uouuse of Commons, there is nothing left for the peers in the House or Lords to do but twirl their thumbs and grin and bear what they cannot prevent, for, in spite of them, the state-supported church of little Wales is now stripped of it's prerogatlves and left to stand uupon its own feet like the chapels of the Nonconform- ist sects.
 We in America can have nothing but sympathy for the movement to dispossess the state church wherever it exists, and especially where, as in Wales, the sentiment is overwhelm- ingly against the established church. It is alien to all our thoughts, and what is more, state-supported church and state-supported schools are becoming abhorrent to the peo- ple of the British isles outside of Wales. Ireland obtained freedom from the domination of the Anglican church in Gladstone's time. Wales will soon have it, and there are cer- tain indications that England as well is rebelling against it.
 AS long ago as 1906 the Liberals were swept into power on the wave of a Liberal and Nonconformist tide which spelled disaster for the Estab- lished church schools. The Liberal government was pledged to radical reform in the public school system, whereby the state-aided church schools should be superseded by non- sectarian schools. The bill effecting that reform went through the Com mons in short order but the lords as quickly threw it out thus driving an other nail in their own coffin, for their rejection of the education bill was as instrumental in rousing the people to a demand for the curtall- ment of their power as their throw ing out of the LloydGeorge budget of 1909. And now, with Welsh Dis establishment out of the way, and the lords power effectively curbed, the Liberals may proceed once more with that cherished program of set ting up nonsectarian public schools, which is but the first step in the disestablishment of the whole church. -EX

MAKE ARREST AT WEDDING
Father, Who Had Just Given Dauoh- ter Away, Is Pinched for
 Embezztement.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July 8.-During the wedding here today of the daugh- ter of City Controller Whites daugh- ter her father was arrested by the police and charged with having em- bezzled $14,OOO from the city treas ury.
 The police made the arrest in the crowded parlors just after the cere- mony and it caused a small panic. The daughter threw herself into her fathers arms and would not be com forted, becoming hysterical and had to be attended by a physician. The wedding trip was postponed and the daughter and new son-in-law will re- main with the controller to aid him in his present troubles.
 White refused to make any state ment, but close personal friends claim that the arrest was made by political enemies, who wanted to get White out of the way, and that the sup posed shortage will soon be explained away, as it is merely a bookkeeper's mistake, the funds having been placed to the credit of another account.

After being questioned the boys
