When the farmers of certain west

against the railways there was a gen.
eral disposition to treat them with
contempt. Were they not lot Of
ignorant frontiersmen? What chance
had they against the railways? What
did they know about railway manage
ment? Was not the railway, in com.
mon with other Industries, amenable
to competition? Those in the higher
walks of life, with rare exceptions,
deprecated the attitude of the farm.

ly. Their position was grossly exag-
gerated and misrepresented. The
rantings of their more extreme spokes.
men were cited as proof that they
were wholly without any just ground
for complaint. Many thought them
bent on confiscation. The hard times
following the panic of 1873 were laid
at the door of the granger legislation
Nevertheless, the main contentious OF
the farmers were upheld by the su,
preme court. The granger movement
did much toward changing the rail
way policy of the nation.

Climate has something to do with

ber of the council Sir Guy Fleetwood
Wilson recalled his first budget state
ment before the council. THE day
was abnormally hot and close. even
for Calcutta in summer time. Partly
owing to the heat, but party, no doubt,
owing to the wearisome effect of my
first attempt at oratory, one by one
every single member present went to

"A short life and a merry one!" It
was in the spirit of that old motto that
King Alfonso of Spain is said to have
replied the other day to physicians
who advised him that the only hope
of arresting the disease which has af
fected his throat for years and which
now has spread to the post-nasal re.
gion lies in the direction of abandon
ing official work and social excite
ments, and living in retirement while
undergoing a course of treatment that
would consume twelve months. The
king is reported to have replied: You
don't guarantee a cure, and / can tell
you that year as an invalid would
certainly finish me-" That the fatigu-
ing pursuits in which the kings rest
less energy finds an outlet aggravate
his malady is beyond question, says
the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
But he belongs to family of shatter-
ed constitutions, and all things consid-
cred, it's wonder that he is alive.

ton, the magician. He is not content
to go along year after year with the
same stereotyped performance, as
was the custom of magicians in the
past. Thurston's clever brain is ever
originating new mysteries, and his
offerings this season constitute an en-
tire new program and the best in
many respects ever shown by him.
One of the irresistible charms of a
Thurston entertainment is the drol-
lery, quaint humor and refreshing
comedy of the magician. In shows of
the past of this nature, the quickness
of the magician's hand merely de-
ceived the eye, but in Thurston's per-
formance, the eye says, "He did; saw
it," while the brain declares, "There
is no such thing" Surprises come
thick and fast from the moment the
curtain rises, each achievement SEEM

A new method of dentistry is be-
ing introduced in Paris in the form
of treatment of the teeth by ultra
violet rays. Such rays, from mer-
curry lamp, it is asserted. have the
power of whitening discolored teeth,
and sterilizing them in such a way
that they are not easily liable to de-
cay. The teeth to be treated are iso-
lated from the rest, which are cover
ed with rubber shield. The face,
too. is protected by mask. The
teeth are then washed with oxygen
ated water and exposed for an hour to
the direct action of the rays 1t is
stated that the teeth acquire luster
like that of pearls. Two sittings a
year are recommended to keep the
teeth In good condition.

"Peg" is receiving the same unstinted
praise on tour that has been accord
ed the play at the Cort Theatre, New
York City.
The scenes of the play are laid in a
small town in England, the home of
the Chichesters. They are proud,
unnatural family, and have accepted
the responsibility of educating peg"

Peg on the other hand is a jolly,
natural, impetuous girl with a fasci-
mating brogue. She is the daughter
of a whole-hearted Irish father, who
raised her, and when she arrives in
the Chichester home with her dog
Michael" she shocks the aristocratic
family by her appearance and her
manners. Her unfamiliarity with
their mode of living and her ready
wit cause many humorous situations
throughout the play.

, eral progressive policy of the de- velopment of Alaska along lines approved by her citizens and Presi- dent Wilson.
 In again announcing my caHdid- acy permit me to call your atten- tion to the changed conditions whici now surround Alaska problems in congress. For the last four years every effort made by your delegate e secure sympathetic support for progressive laws in aid of the de- Yelopment of Alaska was denied Alaskans will long remember the attempt to pass the infamous BeV- eridge bill for the creation of an appointiys carpet-bag Legislature for Alaska, under war department control, and the impudent refusal or George w. Perkins to permit the construction of a competing line ot railroad into the Matanuska coal fields and the Panama valley. How our ports were closed in restraint Of trade by this same transportation trust is told in the recent pleas of guilty in the United States court at Juneau. They are as powerful in Washington as in Alaska, and in both places really had free hand in Alaskan matters"
 But a change came when Wood row Wilson became president. A western man with Western ideas and courage to carry them into ex- ecution was made Secretary of the Interior, and given a free hand ID Alaskan matters The door to mon opoly was closed; that to censerYa- ton with use by the people without monopoly was thrown wide open' and the rusty wheels of progress were put in motion.
 It was not necessary for the deIS- gate from Alaska to change his position, his principles or his line Of effort to secure sympathy and support. The administration chang ed-not the delegate from Alaska With that change in administration your delegate found himself in com pany with those who sought pro gressive Alaskan legislation The delegate introduced the Alaskan railroad bill in congress on April T. 1913, the first day of the special session; on December 2, 1913, Presi dent Wilson in his first message to the regular session approved 1t, and thereafter with his active sup wort 1t became a law. His admin istration procured other progress sive bills to be introduced in aio Of the development of Alaska, and those offered by your delegate nave met with friendly support and ap- proYal. Today the enactment Of tru1 progressive laws for the develop ment of Alaska, free from monopoly is being personally urged by Presi- dent Wilson, and occupies first place in his administrative program.
 Alaska and the Pacific coast ought to give him and his Alas kan policy unstinted support.
