FAREWELL, BEANS

Beans are not what they used to be. ! They are no longer the friend of the board ing house landlady, the lmberjack, the soldier, the frontiersman They no longer do the worlds exploring, dig its mines. re- duce its forests, build its skyscrapers fight its battles and feed its lunatics This, ill his day. the lowly bean has done He has been the meat and sinew of the nation. He has literally done the worlds work
 But 1t is no more to be. With his newly acquired social position his usefulness dis appears. For the bean is now the plutocrat of vegetable foods At S7.40 a bushel, al most triplod since the big war began, he will no longer recognize his poor relations In fact. it is believed that he is contem- plating debut in polite society. Baked all day with slab of salt pork or bacon, it is expected he will appear ere long where only the turkey had been wont to point aloft his luscious thighs and where five or six knives and forks and spoons and things form in line for attack at each plate And some new implement will be invented for eating the bean whereby you can eat him prettily and die of starvation. Nay, he will appear in the ladies' afternoon salads under numerous aliases
 Good-by, beans. You have done much for us and for the world. But you do not prize our friendship Some day you will. You will learn that we loved ycu for what you were, not for what you cost We al- ways admitted that you had the right stuff in you. Baked to mealy softness and oozing with juice of pork, you approached alvin lty. But now you are gone to the tables of the rich to mingle with wine and women and entrees of stale fish. You will no longer do the worlds work. You will spend the worlds money. Good-by, old beans, and when you find that nobody really loves you but the dear people, come back again. The pot is open, and we shall kill the fatted pg.-St, Paul Pioneer Press.

BETTER RULE FOR ALASKA
lPnrtland OregOnianl

It is to be hoped that congress will find time to adopt joint resolution offered by Senator Putnam for an investigation of all Alaskan affairs These affairs are divided among a host of departments and bureaus at Washington, each acting independently of the others. Few of the subordinate of ficials in the territory have authority to decide any question, no matter how urgent, and practically everything IS referred to bu- reau and department chiefs at the capital, who have no first hand information and no knowledge gained by personal observation of the facts upon which they must decide The division of authority IS carried to such an absurd extreme that brown bears are under the jurisdiction of one bureau and black bears under that of another
 Construction of government railroads should hasten the settlement and develop ment of Alaska. Unless these railroads are to be drain on the territory, all of the laws must be amended in such manner as to stimulate development and thus to pro duce traffic. While civil government may be left to the territorial officials, there IS great need of centralized control of public land and all natural resources, One body should have charge of coal, oil, other min erals, agriculture forests, fisheries, game, to- gether with the railroads, highways and waterways which are needed for develop ment The coalland leasing law has failed
 10 attract capital, and the reason for this failure should be asccrtalned as a guide to congress in acting on pending legislation of the same kind
 It is impossible to govern and develop Alaska efficiently at long range. There is IS great need of separate administration with broad powers as there was in the Phil ippnes and Porto Rico. Congress has done better by these people of alien blood than by our own citizens who have undertaken the pioneer work of the far North.

IT'S GREAT TO BE AN ALASKAN
(Contributed1

It is nice to be an Alaskan when the autumn
 breezes blow, And the pesky skeeters dead and gone,
 where skeeters ought to go; But when it's fifty minus, and the sled
 shoes shrilly ring, And the frost gets in the fingers it's
 quite diif'rent thing. It's great to be an Alaskan, but at fifty F.
 below, I'd rather be millionaire in sunny Diego, The mining games dandy, when it's
 what it ought to be, When a pan turns out ten dollars, and the
 ground works easlee; But when you're up against the face, and
 the grub IS rotten bad, There's naught in being an Alaskan to
 make fellow glad It's great to be an Alaskan, but rather n
 work the face I'd choose to be rich mans son agoing
 of the pace. It is fine to be an Alaskan, and lead the
 simple life, With nary one to care for-except an
 others wife; But when the winter weather chiIl5 the
 marrow in your bones And the bed develops lumpy spots, and sun
 dry frigid zones Oh it's great to be an Alaskan, but at
 fifty F. below, I'd rather be q hairless pup in southern
 Mexico When the birds are flying overhead. and
 tumblng at your feet, And duck and geese, and crane, and swan,
 are all your daily meat, It is then I'd be an Alaskan, and on the
 waters live. With grub galore, and plenty more, to
 friend and foe to give. Oh ifs great to be an Alaskan and weigh
 ing i'll and well I'd net trade of with any man who lives
 this side of hell

HOW, INDEED?
Nome Industrial WOrkerl


 How in the name of good common sense are the laws of the territory to be recclveG and followed if the governor sets the high example in a matter of this kind in deIib- 2rately houting them?
 If the governor tactly thinks it wiae to overlook a harmless breach of the election law, how can he consistently undertake not .o overlook deliberate and harmful abuse of the same law?
 If official neglect in this instance is white washed, how can corporation corruption do- ing the same thing be properly checked?
 This is not a question whether Wicker sham CT SuIzer is elected; it is a question whether the voters are to receive protec- ton in the use of the Australian ballot or not IL is obvious that Governor Strong and Secretary Davidson have gone on record a5 saying that any old ballot may be cast and will be counted A more vicious dcci- sicn could hardly be conceived

WHAT NEW YORK SUN SAID

The New York Sun of March 8, under the caption "A Little Group of Wlllful Men" published the following at the head of its editorial page:
 "The specter of Benedict Arnold returned to visit this place and it looked into the faces of OGorman, of Eardanan, of Kirby and of Lane. The specter thought of his own treachery, fearful of the deed for which nothing atones, and gazed on the vlsages of Norris. of Lafolette and of Cummins. He thought of the doom of the traitor and how the name traitor must now enwrap them. Then he looked upon Work, Stone and Gronna. and feasted his eyes upon CIanp. The spectcr of Benedict Arnold found balm in the actions of these men for his crime, and Behold he cried, they are eleven and 1 wss but one in my time
