 While the sun shines, 1t is safe to assert that the supply of alcohol will never be exhausted, for it is the en- ergy of that heavenly body which will keep renewing this invaluable chem ical for us through all plant life. The stored sunshine in potatoes and beets will run out engines, keep us warm and light our darkness. Perhaps by that time too, man will have learned that his "evil spirit" may, like the genii of the Arabian fairy tales, be best as a servant and not as a mas ter--that it is all right imprisoned i'l motors and lamps, but ali wrong freed in his body.-Popular Maga- zine.

SECRETARY LANE SAYS
 WE MUST HAVE ROADS

In his annual report to Congress
 Secretary Lane of the interior depart
 ment says emphatically that Alaska
 must have wagon roads. The follow ing is part of his statement:
 "The roads that have been con- structed are not the fine highways of many of the states, but they mark the
 beginning of system of military and post roads which are of incalculable service in the developments of the re- gions through which they run. Auto mobiles during the open season nego- fate that road between Valdez and
 Fairbanks, and Chitina and Fair banks making regular trips. The fur ther development of the mineral, az ricultural and other resources of the territory is as much dependent upon the construction. Railroads will open to development extensive districts, to be sure, but wagon roads must, in the last analysis, be depended upon to develop tonnage for the railroads. Through the agency of good roads then atural resources of the territory will be developed; over these roads mail routes will be established an1 the present cost of transportation
 largely reduced, and, therefore, they will be money savers as we'll as mon- ley makers, for the national wealth
 will thereby be greatly increased. "The federal appropriation for roads in Alaska for the present fiscal year was substantially increased, and lit is suggested that hereafter Con-
 gress should appropriate annually not less than $5O0,0O0 for this purpose
 for period of years. It will be an in jvestment that will be productive of
 lasting results. The territorial gov ernment is cooperating with the fed eral government in the building of
 roads and trails so far as it's means
 will permit, and it is probable that hereafter the sum available from the territorial treasury will be substanti- ally increased. The expenditures by the Alaska road commission, which is charged with the work of construct ing and maintaing roads and trails in the territory, during the fiscal year amounted to $3O0,720.62, of which s135,7OS.89 was received from the Alaska fund and $165,000 from a special appropriation made by Con- gress.

Accord ing to the United States census report on manufactures for 1900-1905, out of 35s we'll known products manu- factured and used extensively In this country, 249 were made in Connecti- cut. That is seven-tenths of the whole output. Tinware was made in Connecticut before any other state in the Union, and also clocks and many we'll known watches.

ALCOHOL INSIDE AND OUT.

It is the fashion to anathcmatize alcohol. One can hardly take up a paper or a periodical without reading of it's blight" upon the human race. There are innumerable books written on the subject proving alcohol to be the cause of nine-tenths of all crlme and misery. It is brother to insanity and the hand-maiden to disease and death. And as we read of this great evil we are stirred to pity and wrath. So.De of us become extremists in our emotional revolt against the ancient enemy and declare that the world would be better without alcohol of any kind or description. Of course th,s is mistaken attitude. Alcohol, properly employed, is one of the blessings of earth. Man alone is re- sponsible for it's perversion. It would be impossible to run this old planet twenty-four hours without alcohol in some description or other.
 Chemists will tell you that, Eext to water, alcohol is the most important of all chemicals. Put inside a man, It may produce madness and murder, but as an essential element of ether ..nd chloroform it deadens pain inn measurably and enables physicians and surgeons to ameliorate suffering and save life. Without alcohol neith- CT of these anaesthetics is possible. No substitute has ever been discover ed. Put in the stomach, it ruins the organs of digestion, but used in an engine, it develops extraordinary no- tor power. Fumes of alcohol in the brain lead us to say that the fellow affected is ''lit up," and when the chemical is applied as an actual :llu- minant, it is found to possess wonder full qualities both as light and heat Inside man, it hardens his liver and hobnails his kidneys; but as a neces- sary component of shellac, it is in- valuable in the arts and industries. It may rob a mans eyes of their lus- ter and clarity, but in the manufac- ture of brilliant and beautiful dyes alcohol is indispensable.
 People do not half realize or ap- preciate the many uses and services of alcohol. More and more it is be- ing used in the industries. To give you an idea of it's wide application, we will name a few of it's activities. Alcohol is necessary to the making of all kinds of medicines, smokeless powder, celluloid, artificial silk and all photographic supplies. Paints. shellacs, etc., must have alcohol. If you have any idea of the far-reaching effect of these things, and the capital invested in them, you will come to the conclusion that alcohol outside of the human system is a great benefit, and not bane.
 By economists and physicists it is predicted that when coal and oil have been exhausted on the earth, alcohol will take their place as motor power, heater and illuminator. Already al- cohol made from potatoes has been successfully used to run taxicabs in Berlin, and it has been burned as an

FLEETS BRAIN IS MANS BRAIN.

The shake-up in the British admi ralty shows that the mightiest organ. ization in the world-the British navy-is more or less subject to hu. man weaknesses. Here is the most colossal and most powerful aggrega- tion of fighting ships that were ever put afloat by one nation-steel on steel, might on might, it represents the expenditure of billions of dollars Yet it's brain is the brain of man. Without its creators it is as helpless as it was in its original elements un- der the sod.
 No wonder the British people gre proud of their navy. It is their main line of defense. It is the bulwark be- tween them and absolute starvation or surrender. It's cost wrung almost the last sovereign from many Britons, but today they do not begrudge those millions and billions.
 Yet it is realized that this great fighting machine in it's array and ma jesty, must be directed by the keen est men in the empire. The fleet has not measured up to all that was hop ed for it. The annoying little subma- rine, a mere wasp, has sent it scut- tling to cover. It does not sweep the seas unchallenged, but is barred and voted ond oo h; od u,b an not in action as a Goliath might defend himself against the pebble of Davids sling. Moreover, when it has gone to sea it has not accomplished what was ex- pected of it.-- In the one great naval engagement of the war it was out pointed. It maintains it's reputation more on it's overwhelming superior ity in numbers than on the strength of naval achievement.
 But it was not the fleets fault, if it is anybody fault rests with the men who directed it. The up heaval in the cabinet and admiralty shows that England demands a new deal. Its faith in it's fleet is almost a sacred faith, but it is resolved that this great machine shall be directed differently from the way it has been directed in the past. It wants better performance.
 The British fleet is the greatest fighting machine in the world. It errs when its creators err, but erra only when they err. It is a vast, in sensate machine and the men at it's helm are among the smartest ill the world.
 Its brain is the brain of man.

European War Has
Cemented the American
Republics
BY JOHN BARRETT, Director Cen
eral of the Pan>American Union

THE silver lining of the Euro
/ pean war cloud for the Unit
ed States and, in fact, all the
Western Hemisphere is the power
fnl impetus it is giving to pan
American solidarity. 1t has in
spired new and more friendly feel
ing throughout Central and South
America toward the United States,
and it has AWAKENED IN THIS
COUNTRY A NEW AND MORE
SINCERE APPRECIATION OF
ITS SISTER AMERICAN COUN-
TRIES.
The most significant and far
reaching feature of this new era
may be the inevitable evolution of
the Monroe doctrine into a pan
American doctrine or policy which
will mean that the nations of the
south will stand for the protection
of the sovereignty and integrity of
the United States against foreign
invasion or conquest as quickly and
sincerely as the UNITED STATES
WILL STAND FOR THEIR
SOVEREIGNTY AND INTEG-
RITY UNDER FOREIGN AT

Meantime Inez Castro, on board the

She had ascertained the time of arri-

Inez Castro, using Joe as usual to do
her bidding, whispered in his ear.
