 The entire Territory of Alaska is deeply interested in the manner in which the estates of the victims o he Sophia disaster administered at Juneau.

 To reasonable persons it would seem impossible hat anyone would make such catastrophe occa- jon in which the employ petty graft. No sane man would do No honorable would con iider such for one instant
 The report from Juneau which we printed in Sat urdays issue of The Citizen of the proceedings of the 5rand jury there seems to make clear of the question. The makeup of that body should free it any political complexion. The character of the sitting the investigation carries weight Tn he findings Those men Alaskans. Many of them have been years in the North The Citizen is not in- tned to hold opinion that they would stoop to whitewash irregular actions, even if committed by friends in matter of this kind, nor that they would blind themselves deliberately to facts in order to keep from discovering such irregularities, grating.
 It is more reasonable to believe that the charges which have been made were based on hearsay were msstated than think that the grand jurors combined to give maefactors coat of whitewash for petty larceny ofenses The reported investigation by a committee from the Territorial Legislature should be made public in short time and probably will con- firm the findings of the grand jury, and while possibly contradict those findings at the present time apparent that charges of graft in connection with the administration of the estates of Sophia vic ms at least greatly exaggerated, if not entirely untrue

 Undoubtedly there is a solemn feeling of expectancy in the world today. There is moving of an approaching climax of the opening a great door into another of human history. Such culmina- tions inevitable in the economical and moral or der of the universe in which live. The movement Nature, whether it be forward backward is not always regular and smooth, but often, at least by leaps and bounds. Silent and obscure but powerful influences work together to produce results which de velop least with resounding crash, and it is only when the crash is the very verge of taking place that it sounds it's warning.
 One may not comprehend its nature, but that some thing strategic, dramatic significant and immense is going to happen he knows

 A dressmaker can be pretty good at figures and yet not know blame thing about fractions.

 The reason for making the feeding of Russia sub ject to this condition is not political, simply. Peace in Central Russia is necessary in order to make the distribution of food possible.

Admiral Sims's Reward.
(New York World i.

(New York World).
 To be reduced in rank and pay is Admiral Simss only reward after years of brilliant service as commander of the United States naval forces in European waters. The Navy Department do nothing; under the law it must approve his demo- ton matter of routine Secretary Daniels may cable from abroad that the American people will give the great welcome you distinguished service merits, " and extend to Admiral Sims the thanks of the and the whole country for the signal ability with which he performed his important duties; but with these official compliments the powers of the Secretary are exhausted.
 When Congress in its wisdom prescribed that the rank and title of Admiral should be held only tenn porarily by officers of the navy while commanding the Atlantic Pacific Fleet acting Chief Of Operations in the Nevy Department it could not have oreseen how these restrictions would operate in exist ing circumstances But it now, and it should make haste to accord prompt recognition to officers who by their work in the war have praise and commendation everywhere and grant them permanent rank as Admiras. In the case of Admiral Sims It is neither reasonable fitting that because he is no War College he relinquish the rank to which he had been raised in time of emergency and to the grade and pay of a Rear Admiral.
 This is not the spirit in which the people of the navy who have led the way to victory.

Dallas, Texas.-Some of the West
Texas farmers who deserted their
homes last summer in pitiful white
lines of old prairie wagons are now
coming back in automobiles. Driven
out by three years of drought, they are
going back as oil men.
Stretches of land where the drouth
had virtually withered every leaf OIL
vegetation and from which the dis
beartened farmers departed for the
cotton fields and other more prosper
ous sections, are within the new oil
district.
Some of the farmers who stfaggied
almost penniless, from the parcneo
7one" a few months ago can quaiiIy
az oil magnates, according to Vance
Muse of the Fort Worth Chamber o.

other towns in the heart of the new
oil district. He says the population
in many counties, almost eompletei!
deserted last summer, has reached un
precedented figures.
Leases are being sold for lev
acres at vastly larger sums than Gu
tire farms would have brought a yea
ago and enormous investments nav
been made.
The legislature had expected !
adopt measures for relief OF drougn
sufferers, but since the discovery @
