night slammins Woodrow Wilson. the
colonel concentrating everything he
had said before about the President
during the campaign into this final
speech. and then said some new
things.

crowd at his hardest knocks and every
time the colonel grinned, and did hit

Very little was said about Mr..
Hughes John Wanamaker presided,
and spoke of him more times in his
talk Of only few minutes than the
colonel did in his talk OF mcre than
an hour.
From appearances, the colonel
might have been the candidate,
One thing is certain. the Republic
cans and Democrats alike are unani-
nous for Abraham Lincoln.
The night before President Wilson
was likened right to his face to Abra-
ham Lincoln and he did not deny it.
Tonight the managers of the Roose-
veit meeting did the thing much bet
ter. They had the hall profusely dec
Grated with bunting. which the Tam
many Hall committee did not do for
Wilson They had portrait of Lin
coin behind the speakers stand. They
brought out for the occasion the old
reading desk and the chair which
Lincoln used when he made his great
speech.
: Old Guard There
The crowd was quite different, III
appearance than that OF the evening
before, Many wore evening Clothes
and one-hfth at least OF the audience
was women. including some OF the
Roosevelt family On the stand were
many old guard Republicans and
George w. Perkins to represent the
returned Progressives. There was not
q heekler in the crowd. When Colo
mel y Roosevelt entered the crowd
cheered him for seven minutes.
Cries OF Teddy made the Colonel
smile The cheers We're taken up out
side the hall by thousands in the
street MT Wanamaker spoke for the
business interests OF the country in
introducing the Colonel.

believe he said. that period OF

The Klondike Clan

The Sentinel is in receipt of a copy of the ''klondike Clan by s. Hall Young, author of Alaska Days With John Muir"
 The klondike Clan" is vivid story of life in the kiondike gold camps almost twenty years ago, and reflects the throbbing colorful days of the great stampede of 'o8 when the mining camp of Dawson was more in the limelight than New York.
 Skillful delieation of the charact- CT of the men who formed the great Stampede over the Chilkoot Pass into the gold mines of the Yukon, dramatically told tales ot incidents connected with the stampede, to- gether with some wonderfully vivid descriptions of the then wild count " in which it all happened, are the outstanding features of book which discounts several other books that are alleged to be represent alive of the Northland.

Eirst Military Band.

.. Military bands first came into exist ence about 1885. in the reign of Charles II. That monarch had a partiality for music. Anyhow. 1t was he who by a royal warrant which he issued in that year authorized the employment of twelve musicians in ''the company of the kings regiment Of foot guards in
 London.' Furthermore. in order to SC cure higher pay for the musicians than was granted to the other Tommies of that day the merry monarch very "hon- estly" directed that fictitious name should be borne on the strength of each of the other companies of the reg. iment quartered !n the country" The money received. for the payment of these Tommies who did not exist was then divided among the bandsmen,, a simple if not very straightforward ar- engagement certainly.-London Globe.

In & series of official federal reports on the conditions of wage earners throughout the country, recently sub mitted, appeared the following:
 Manufacturers of everything from steel to cigars throughout Pennsylvania and those sections of New Jersey and Della ware included in the Philadelphia reserve district unite in the assertions that m- creased wages have been directly respon- sible for lessenek efficiency on the part of labor. =. Instead of taking advan- tase of the rates to save money or better their condition q large proportion of the workingmen take holidays after they have earned . sum equal to their usual weekly wages, and even while at work, accord ing to' the employers, they are becoming lazy and independent.
 This showing corresponds with sim far reports from England where wage earners and their families have sud- denly come into Easy street" and lost their heads While 1t Is all discourag- ing to social reformers, it does not lessen the obligation for them and so- ciety generally to indicate by example and teaching habits of thrift and or derly living.

FOOD fSLUE OE FISH

Fish should occupy a more lm- a9rtant position in the American diet. This is the decision of the Am erican Fisheries Society, recent " in session at New Orleans, pro- oably nhuencad by trade interests, ls1t nevertheless worthy of con- sideration. Aith the advances in she cost of meat, Americans are hkelv to acquire new friendship Tor a fish diet for purely economic reasons, aside from relative dietary values.
 The Fisheries Society contends shat fish are more valuable as a food then eggs. bee' or poultry, and t makes a showing in compafa- s.e figures as to calorles, pro- teins, carbohydrates and other measures of food Value.
 No doubt the portions of this country temove from the coasts would be more liberal consumers If the supply was more economically handled. The society voices some complaint of this and suggests the she 3eecels post and express lines as convenient ard economical me- aiums of supply for the~consumer. Enrland delivers fish by parcels post. It is supplied to consumers, sacked and refrig erated, at from , to.Io cents, per pound, according tothe variety ordered.
 But even at existing prices the fish demand in this country is con- stantly increasing. Compared with present beef. poultry and egg prices, halibut, cod and salmon are more economical foods, espe- eially for those who live within a reasonable distance of the seaboard, and a less expensive system ot Handling asd distributing would acrease the public demand Very materially.

The readiness with which railroad employees accepted the lead of tho head of the nation in the effort to set tie their disagreement with the man. asers. suggests some form of national board to take up these matters at an early stage in the dispute. Some years ago great coal strike was ad- justed through the intervention of the president. Of course 1t can be charged that vanity is at the bottom of 1t and the men wish to magnify their impor-' tance. More reasonable is 1t and more fair to the workingmen of the country to believe that it is move to get an impartial hearing and nothing beyond that. By deferring to court higher up they hope to get their cause far above any local atmosphere which might exist If cognizance by a na tional arbitcr has quieting psycho- logical effect at the outset there is a possible solution for labor disputes which become acute.
