The formal opening of the Tampa
social season was celebrated Wednes-
day evening with brilliant ball at
the Country Club and among the
charming dancers was Miss Mary
Burford of this city. The ball was
opened with a grand march led by
the president, D. C. Gillett, dancing
with Mrs. Gillett. In response to a
letter to the club from Mayor Mac
Kay of Tampa, deploring the fact
that the club members, in this season
of distressed business, should attempt
to make the ball the most brilliant in
the clubs history, Mr.. Gillett intro
duced a novel figure and ingenious
figure in the march. When the. pro-
cession had circled the ball room sew
eral times, the music was stopped and
leaving the ladies on either side the
men continued the grand march, to
the tune of dollars, each one dropping
his donation into barrel which had
been brought in for the purpose. As
result S145 was turned over to the
Associated Charities of which Rev.
A. E. Cornish is at the head.

This will add ano ther, and a mos important government bureau to the already large number which find it necessary to maintain permanent quarters there for the purpose of look ing after the governments varied and extensive interests.
 One important division of the gov ernment's many bureaus-that of the Alaska division of the bureau of fish eries-is still unrepresented on the Pacific coast. That division is SUD- posed to maintain close and intimate relations with the fishing industry of the north, and the only way in which this can be done satisfactorily, in our opinion. is by removing the whole division to Seattle, the headquarters for the industry. The calls for in- formation and aid from Alaskan op- orators are many, and unfortunately, the bureau has through lack of off, cials of proper rank in Seattle, failed

The revolution in Mexico seems u Le gaining in strength as time passes end unless the Mexican government shows more force and energy than has been exhibited heretofore, when the government force meet the revolu- tionary armies, 1t will not be many months before the triumphant army of Villa will be marching through the streets of Mexico City. Changes have Teen so rapid, one revolution upon the heels of another, during the last few years, that the world begins to think that the Mexican people are not cap able of self government. The present revolution has been attended by so many atrocities, in violation of all the laws of civilized warfare, that this opinion has become fixed in the public generals commanding the defenses of Torreon to President Huerta declar- ing. We must fight to the death be- cause to surrender means death" pre- sents a most shocking and revolting state of things in Mexico, which may we'll cause the world to look upon the Mexican people as unfit to gov ern themselves. While a good part of those who are at present bearing arms on the revolutionary side of the struggle should be classed as bandi, rather than patriots, their prese 1t position in the ranks of the revolu- tit nists is largely due to an unhealthy political atmosphere and its direct re- suits upon the manner of their exis: ance. When we stop to consider that cut of a population of 100000 eighty per cent are Indians or belong to the peon class; a population which in the past has received no attention from tho government or the higher class except to enslave and exploit them 1t Is not strange that no bond of sym Pothy VA41tS to DlhN khiS lctt 6C OO0S of people and the government to- gcther.

 Mexico has an area of 767,OOO square niles. all of the arible land is held by 1000 families. One single land lord holds 16.0oo.000 acres and area one- third the size of England and has in- iIuence enough that he is assessed for taxes at s20O,00O.

Only as the accomplishment of
 difficult achievement can Sarah Bern hardt rejoice in winning the insignia If the Legion of Honor. In her par ttcular case 1t was a long and diff cult struggle, requiring persistence or the part of her friends and admirers Her artistic supremacy was never questioned The opposition to her was merely personal.
 Being enrolled as one of the Legion or Honor adds nothing to her artistic stature. he is now as she was be- fcre. a most wonderful woman. If there has been any bestowal of dis tmction, Mime, Bernhardt has contri- buted 1t to the Legion of Honor. She has increased the value of that dec oration.
 And this naturally brings up the subject of decorations generally, which have come, with some few exceptions, to be sham and hollow things. Once when men and women of parts were scarce. when public opinion accepted the dicta of self constituted or legally empowered authorities. to wear a cer- tain ribband. or attach certain initials after ones name was the visible goal sought by the ambitious Type and the newspapers lave done away with tls form of intellectual heraldry To- day we know who is who and what is what and poets laureate and mem hers Of the Forty ImmortalS must make good against unhenorcd and untitled competition.

Society's biggest problem is the m. ruly minority, Governments are no maintained, and laws are not writer except an indirect sense. for the regu. lGtion of the majority of men and wo. men.
 Most men and women in most par. tculars live above the law.
 They do not consult the law in ordc, to find out what they must or must not do. They want to do. in mos, cases, at least, the fair and the right thing. Of course. on some question at least, most persons are out of sym pathy with the law. Smuggling, for g instance, is a womans offense. for most women cannot understand why the government should claim the right to tax what they may wish to buy in foreign country. Indeed they be- heve the government has no moral right 10 do it, law or no law, and so become smugglers.
 Then, too, there are our unursious friends, the money lenders of one kin l and another. They have the money. [. belongs to them. They have earned or made 1t in one way or another. and very honestly believe they have right to hire" it out. as man would hire" out himself or his horse, at the most advantageous rate. and SD when they can cvade the law which seeks to- .1ranmcl them. they d. it with no hurt to their conscicnces.
 It is SO in many things in our com mon life
 It is so when We come to consider our police regulations, for the average man or woman who comes within the Iurvicw of these regulations cannot be brought to believe that the govern ment has any moral right to interfere with him.
 But these and other clements com lined make up only minority of tho men and women who are taxed ro ma aintain government and adopt and enforce certain public policies.
 The unruly minority is our real. problem. and it is nothing to the credit of the clean majority that we have failed to hold it in check or to etucate 1t out of a false belief in the fLtility of reasonable restraints and compromise.-Seat Sun.

The New Chamber of Commerce of Seattle has certainly shown that thel. attach a great deal of importance to the Alaska bureau of that body when they elected Scott C. Bone chairman. The Alaska bureau has always been alive to it's duties and the Journal has i"ihing but praise for the work of Col. w. T. Perkins, Secretary Me- Pherson and other members of that committee, but in our opinion there $ no man in Seattle so well qualified to head this committee as is MT. Bone. and he has proved this by promptly sending an exhibit of Alaska's re- sources to Washington under the care of Mir McPherson as a source of in- formation to congressman on their re- turn after the holidays. We have been informed that they have secured space in the senate office building. A series of fine lantern slides have also hoen forwarded to be used in lec- lures before the various bodies of Washington during the winter.

outlined, as follows the several

Children for whom temporary homes
must be found
! Children for whom permanent
homes must be found. ia
/ Children physically deficient.
Children mentally deficient.
On the matters of the need Of a
new adoption law and indeterminate
sentences, Judge Whitney's report was
as follows: az,
New Adoption Law.
! 1.-The proposed adoption law. which
has been for some time in the hands
of the governor, merely proposes to
give to the court the power Of decree
ing an adoption where the parents
have deserted or abandoned the child,
or where the are no living parents.
We are doing all in our power in the
juvenile court to promote and facilp
tate the adoption of children in. place
Eof the leose and illegal methods of
adoption which have heretofore been
in vogue in this country.
We are seeking to have the legis-
lature grant the right to the juvenile
court to sentence a boy or girl to de-
,tention in an industrial school on an
indeterminate sentence The present
system. whereby children are sent for
a term not to exceed their minority
is sufficient for mentally efficient chill
dren. but not for deficient children
Owing to certain legal points, It may
be necessary to confine the purely In
determinate sentence to the mentally
deficient. If such is the case, we shall
have to content ourselves with that,
but it is, certain that the present sys-
tenn of turning a mentally unbalanced
or mentally deficient girl out on to the
streets because she has reached the
age of is years is little short of a
crime 80 =.
