w. Wheelock on the state board Of con-
troll is a merited recognition Of faithful
and valuable service, and follows the
precedent set by Governor Hammond
and rhe present governor in the reap
sentiments Of c. E. Vasaly and c. J.
Swendsen. It is generally conceded that
the board in personnel and in the work
it is doing, fulflls the best traditions Of
public service.
The premiers of the allied govern
ments will BE at the peace conference.
They are, Of course, the real heads Of
the governments, not the fgurehead
kings, and even the French president
has no real power. The American pres
ident is in fact the American premier,
and only not fgureAead, but the most
powerful executive in the world. Why
shoulder t he be at the conference.

1t would be a pity if the wonderful
stimulus toward patriotic effort created
by the war were to die down. The
sense Of unity, Of a common destiny and
a COMM on purpose, Of near brotherhood,
of sacrifice for great cause, brought
the people together in a way never be-
for approached. There are tremendous
things to do for the state and country,
materially and morally. One-tenth the
war spirit rightly directed, will accom-
pl1sh lnarVels.
The gentlemen in congress who were
angry because Wilson did it all have
glorious opportunity to settle by them
selves the railroad question, and none
OF more Importance was ever presented
to congress. It will have to be settled
right, and one thing is sure-the people
will never consent to go back to old
ways and methods, which when the SUI
preme crisis came, utterly failed. The
general belief that the old ways will
not do is in itself an admission that
they were inefficient, and economically
unsCund. .&
A majority Of the senators are to

tlonal representation, which gives all
the people show and DISTINGUISHES
none. To cut out anybody, is to cut out
the people he represents, who are thus
punished for differing with folks in
other districts. It is fair so Tar as ma
jority rule is concerned. Majority rule
is not always correct. Numbers do not
make principles or right logic, but the
majority rule is essential to free gov
ernment, and is simply the, greatest con-
venience Of democratic government so
far devised. A greater thing even than
the choice Of president On general
election day is the cheerfulness with
which the defeated party accepts the
result. No one thinks Of rebellion. The
majority goes. The thing for agitators
refomers, ETC., to do, is to make doc
trines majority doctrines, or such vital
and disturbing doctrines that the ma
jority must take cognizance thereof.
There is nothing in all this world so
full Of force, or moral and social dyna-
mite, as an idea. T. N. T. to it is as

REINDEER OF THE FAR NORTH
Herd of Animals Imported Several
Years Ago From Labrador Have
Greatly Increase in Numbers. %

Though perhaps most of us, young
and old, associate reindeer chiefly with
Santa's jingling bells, still there are'
besides the dear, familiar phantom
reindeer, the very real reindeer who
are serving a very real and much
needed mission among the people OF
the far North. among whom DR.. Will
fred T. Grenfell works and lives his
life of brOtherly aid and uplift, Mary
NJ. Davis writes in Our Dumb Animals.
About six years ago Doctor Grenfell
imported from Labrador herd of rein"
deer, number about 400, which during
their six years in Newfoundland have
increased to somewhere between 700
and 1000. The idea of bringing them
from their native Lapland was sug-
gested to Doctor Grenfell by the great
abundance of reindeer moss in New
fOundalnd. The reasons for the ex-
pertinent are many and far reaching.
The reindeer are valuable, not only
for their rich and delicious milk
which would be boon indeed to the
dwellers of that northern part Of New
foundland in which Doctor Grenfell
wOrks-but also are invaluable az
beasts of burden. In every way they
are as well adapted to the require
ments of the North as are the Komatik
dogs. which in many ways are an ab-
solute menace to the development Of
| the country.
