''Rumors that the great egineer would take
charge of the Alaska railroad have been current in
Washington for several months. According to
Times dispatch they became most pronounced when 1t
was learned that Goethals had sailed from Panama for
the United States.
'sThe selection of Goethals to take charge of this
work was predicted in The Times when the railroad
bill passed Congress, nearly year ago.
''Whether Colonel Cocktails has expressed any
preference O desire for undertaking the Alaskan
project is not known at Washington, but there have
been many intmatons that acceptance OF the position
would be exceedingly gratifying to the interior depart
ment under whose jurisdiction the construction of the
railroad will be placed
Colonel Goethals has been credited with desire
to make tour around the world after he retres from

Should he to begin this tour soon, ample time
would be at his disposal to circle the globe before his
services would be required in the North

"PoRk eARRELr ADVOCATES.

Despite the condition of the nations
finances and the large demands which
will have to be made upon them in
meeting the requirements, which are
generally conceded to be necessary to
give the country proper protection
and the required strength to assure
peace, there is little evidence in Wash
ington that the demands for needless
expenditures will give way in favor
of matters Of far greater Importance
The pork barrel" promoters are dis
playing TOO much activity to have the
mistaken notion get abroad that they
are going to withhold their pleas for
good sized sums at this session of
congress. They have no intention of
admitting that any cause is so vital
that it should sidetrack in any way
their regular call for government
funds, and so assiduously have they
in the past fought for their bills that
il is not improbable that their loyalty
to their cause will lead them to pro-
claim that the Strengthening of the
nations defenses should become a
matter Of secondary consideration to
be obtained from the balance after
the pork barrel" has been properly
filed and tamped down.
According to indications at the
present time between SIS, 900, GOO and
$100, 100000 will be asked for the pur-
pose of erecting public buildings
throughout the country for which in
many instances there is no crying need
and the carrying out of new projects
for river and harbor improvement, to
say nothing Of the creeks and the
bitches. These are matters which are
worthy of consideration when the ma
ton is flush with funds and has no
better use for the money, but the
interests of the nation demand that
first consideration should be given to
matters of much more Importance.
Compared with defense most of them
could wait for an indefinite period
without serious harm.

GRINDING 1T OUT OF THE POOR

While so much is being said in be-
half of a square deal and being done
in the way of philanthropy, in
putting down swindles and in Sc
curing correct weights and measures,
it is but proper that New York's COM
missioner of weights and measures
should devote some attention to the
manner in which the poor of that city
are in the grasp of the coal dealers.
Not only has this official secured evil
dence which substantiates the belief
that the poor of the metropolis are
being given short weight when it
comes to dealing in this commodity,
but it is apparent that they are being
made to pay about $25 a ton for what
others who are able to get it in guam
titles can buy for from $3.50 to 81 a
ton. This enormous profit is to all
appearances going into the pockets
of the big dealers as we'll as the lit
tie ones.
The situation is one which calls for
a thorough investigation and a radical
change. Because people are poor and
are restricted as to the amount of coal
which they can purchase it does not
follow that they should be made to
pay four times what others are called
upon to pay or that they should be
subjected to the undetermined work
of short weight. This is simply in
creasing the restitution and misery
which exists in an already too large
degree under the impression appar-
emily that because the people from
whom this heavy toll is being exacted
are poor they ought to be made worse
and their position in life is such as
to secure little attention in case of
protest.
The commissioner has evidently dis
covered an opportunity where he can
do much good TO humanity and he
should pursue it with all the vigor
and authority that he possesses.

cave waters kept pace with the pro-

markable underground stream known
as Echo River, which now flows
through the lowest levels Of the cave

ing the ages il has been at work dis
solving the stone and cutting its way

behind IL the twisted, tortuous pass-

inence during the War Of 1912, when
the United States Government needed
nitrate to make powder. Some of
the largest entrance chambers of the
cave had formed the winter habita-
tons for myriads conbats for many
ages, and as a consequence the soil
had become converted into guano and
with a large nitrate content. As a re-
suit the cave became a nitrate mine

Before the war, Bethune was a dull
little place, center Of a farming dis
trict. Tourists and Strangers were
uncommon. and automobiles were
rare enough to be regarded as a curl
osity. The town was as quiet as a
Churchyard except on weekly market
days and occasional church fete days
Now, however. every day must seem
a superlative fete day TO the old in
habitants. Automobiles of all varie-
ties crowd the narrow streets and
overflow onto the sidewalks; the
square is n mass of military men,
horses, and motor lorries; at the
street corners khaki-clad policemen
stand directing the traffic; the pave
ments are crowded with soldiers of
every rank and variety.
