A Strong Will

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
 My husband was confirmed smoker when I married him year ago, but to- day he never touches the weed"
 "Good!' said one of the group. "To break off a lifetime habit like that re- qures a pretty strong will"

CHINESE LEGATION
 HAS CHRISTIAN HYMNS
 FOR LATE PRESIDENT

A very remarkable thing came to pass in Washington recently when the chcolr of the national catbe- dral, in their vestments. sang Chris tian hymns at the official memor- ial service to the late President of China. This was done by request of the State Department and of the .Chinese Ambassador, pr. Wellington Roo. The hymns were: Lead, Kindly Light" Nearer, My God, to Thee" 70 God, Our Help in Ages Past" Lord of Our Life" and Good of Our Salvation" They were selected by the egation, printed in full on the program, and sung by the great assemblage as well as by the choir.
 In accordance with a beautiful Chinese custom at funerals. the choir, accompanied by the master of the choristers, Mir. Edgar Print and the cathedral keeper, all enter ed. wearing garlands of roses, and deposited them before the wreath ed portrait of the late President.
 The President of the United States and Mrs Wilson, many of his Cabinet and their ladies, the whole diplomatic corps in uniform, and numerous public men and Chris itianized citizens were present. all by special invitation. The speak CTS paid warn tribute to the achieve ments of Yuan Shih-Kai.
 The service was held in Conti- mental Hall, lent by the Daughters of the American Revolution, and came on the same day as the fu- neral in Picking. and like obsery- Iances were held an over the world at the same time.
 The using of church choir to render standard Christian hymns in memory of the head of the Chin csc government is a mark of a changed order, and of the success of the missionaries in that vast country.

ANOTHER U-BoAT PROBLEM

When the United States and Germany were en- gagged in the prolonged discussion of the law govern ing undersea boats when used as commerce desroyers all Of the allied nations held with the United States against the German contention that the submarine could not be held strict compliance with estab- lshed law because the invention of the submarine made new condition not contemplated when the law Of visit and search grew up. We replied that if the submarines could not safely obey the law Germany's alternative to cease using them as commerce de- stroyers.
 Now the submarine merchantmen Deutschland is said that if line of such boats is established and fectyeness Of the blockade will be destroyed and then become the right and duty of neutral nations to demand passage into the Baltic for merchant ships
 One is fairly safe in anticipating a reply from the Allies to this line Of reasoning which will allege that the submarine is thing not contemplated when the law of blockade made. that long as the blockade against ordinary commerce is effective it will remain legal. The Central Powers will dis cover Of a certainty that the invention Of the sub marine did after all make the slightest change in international law and there will be Q very pretty discussion in which the European dsputans will have changed sides completely
 Fortunately for Secretary Lansing's peace of mind during the vacation he is not taking block ,ade runner does not break blockade any than one swallow makes summer. The establishment of line Of undersea merchantmen and proof that the Allies capable of dealing effectively with them are matters that are still in the future.

THE DIVISIONAL CONVENTION

The Democratic Divisional convention did we'll It named a strong ticket adopted an excellent plat form and left no sore spots Its distribution of the convention honors wac not unfair The south end Of the Division has Senator and good one. The other Senatorship went to the north end of the Division where it has been for four years in excellent hands and where t will probably remain for the next four years These two places constitute half of the legislative delegation The other half Of the dele gaton s given the central portion of the Division Juneau Douglas Island and Thane the precincts represented. However. in consideration Of the eircum stances the other precincts in this vicinity-Perser ance Gold Creek. Salmon Creek. Mendenhall Eagle. Berners Bay windham and the others-should be added to the populous precincts from which candt dates hail.
 But the best part of the whole matter is that the candidates nominated men who are big enough and broad enough to represent the whole Division In fact they are big and broad enough to represent the whole Territory.
 Senator Tanner has proved his worth by his ser vices. There is not a man in the Territory who has been tried oftener than W. W. Casey. and he has always met the test Nels Anderson is fine repre- sentative Of the pioneer Alaska miner and his repu- tatlon is that of a man who always makes good. J. J.

 There is a vacancy in the human scene of the middle West and a spot in its heart Millions of ts people were moved to gener thoughts on their day of rest and returned to the tolls of a new week feeling that they had lost friend, though unknown in the flesh yet dear. For James Whtcomb Riley had sung them his last song.
 He sang the common joys and sorrows, the fancies and the humors of the people Of the land of his birth and they heard him gladly, and rewarded him faith fully There's lesson in the latter fact for verse makers who complain of lack of appreciation He was the poet of those youthful memories we all cherish. He sang much of children but less for children than for those who look back to childhood and contrast the homely simplicity of it's environment with the less satisfying compeXity that material success has brought.
 He was the gentle philosopher of the beauty of common things. The tunes Of his song were the old familiar tunes He devised intricate measures and chafed not at the limits of familiar forms Again there is a lesson for the apostles and devotees of the new schools" of He was the well-beloved poet Of the peoples emotions. sensations and ideas and in him there was, too, vein of ethereal fantasy that appealed also to the more consciously n- tellectual.
 The old home. the old friends. the old familiar faces-he brought them back Co all
 That is why he widely and we'll beloved. The thought that millions send after him in his passing into the great silence well put in his last poem that it cannot be better eXpressed

 Still hidden from us by His hand,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May s..
Il have just asked Congressman
Edward Heating of Colorado why
he has introduced into congress
his resolution calling upon the
United States government to III
vestigate the charges of income
tax frauds just made by Basil NJ.
Manly for the newspapers served
by the Newspaper Enterprise as
ISOLATION. Here is what Heating
said:
II introduced my resolution
largely because of my faith in
Basil M. Manly. Through his
work with the Walsh industrial
relations commission, Manly has
demonstrated that he is an econ
omist of the~first rank and an in
defatigable investigator who, in
his researches, would display
neither fear nor favor.
Manly declares, that approx
imately $32O,O0O,000 is being an
nually withheld from the treas
ury of the United States by in
come tax frauds and evasions.
you may discount Mr.. Manly's
figures by SO per cent and still
have a sum which makes all 9TH
err frauds which have heretofore
been perpetrated in federal gov
ernment seem INSIGNIFICANT!
Three hundred and twenty
million dollars represents the to-
tai income of about 600, 1000
American workingmen who have
labored every day of the year.
1.-The nations pension roll is
enormous but with the sum which
Basil Manly says the millionaires
of this country STEAL from the
nation every year we could pay
1t twice over!
