Too Much state-shirking.

More and more responsibilities, once
assumed by the state as a matter of
course, have been piled upon the back
of the federal government. That back
is broad, but it cannot stand every.
thing. Uncle Sam is staggering under
the load The last straw is the prac-
tice Of so many state and municipal
governments Of passing the buck to
the federal government in matters of
industrial dispute and law observance
which they themselves should and could
handle,
Gov Coolidge of Massachusetts,, in
his management Of the Boston police
strike, proved to be conspicuous ex-
ception to this rule Of timidity on the
part Of state authorities. 1t may not
be literally true, az The World says,
that Forty eight Coolidges properly
distributed among the state eapitols
would settle every question Of law and
order, and the economic fermentation
of the country could be safely left to
clarity itself"
But surely if the Coolidge spirit of
self reliance were to infect every state
capital there would be wonderful
clearing up Of the present confusion

The Graham Case.

The proposed industrial conference to
be called in Washington, d, c., about
Dec. | will not start off with a great
deal of prestige left over from the con
ference of the public, of labor and of
capital, that conference having split up
almost at the start of the discussion on
new relations in the industrial world;
but the new conference will have the
consciousness that it is called to very
important mission, mission which
may be q little ahead of its time but
which, nevertheless, is quite certain to
be fulfilled in the United States and in
the world Therefore, the members of
the new gathering will go about their
task with a great deal of earnestness,
seeking to work out a basis of rela-
tions which will insure peace in the in
dustrial world and reasonable protec-
ton to all three interests concerned. 1t
is to be hoped that the new conference
can pave the way toward more settled
conditions.

course, the possibility that Albert Ed

sumo that this first visit will be the

throne or before some epochal change
might occur to preclude the possibility
of his accession to the throne
But whatever the future may bring
forth, it is certain that the visit of the

THE PRINCE OF WALES VISIT.

Those Americans who had the oppor-
tunity to come in contact with Albert
Edward, prince Of Wales and heir to
the British throne, during his tour of
the United States bear recollections of
an amiable young man, filled with
youthful enthusiasm and actuated by
democratic motives Of more than the
usual tendencies for royalty. They
recollect young man keen of observa-
tion and more or less plastic to i'm

No grease or graft or even gravel,

As what we modern "dusties" travel.

The Barre Times and the Rutland
Herald have been discussing Corinth
and its lack of doctors but now East
Corinth has regular physician, the
discussion is at an end 1t was a good
discussion with merit on both sides Of
the argument, There can be no ques-
ton but that small towns offer a field
for doctor for general practice but
necessarily the field is limited if wealth
or fame are desired. There is no linn
itation on the field for service, I'm
doubtedly, small towns offer much in
the way Of start in the profession, as
the young doctor has to learn to stand
on his own knowledge and Judgment
and he meets up with all the problems
Of scattered general practice. We are

having obtained good views of the
phenomenon yesterday afternoon
and again today, although the sun
was somewhat obscured this after
noon and the antics OF Old Sol less

was rewarded by the discovery of
what appeared to be several spots
near the edge of the sun. He OBJ
tanned good view with the aid Of

United States Commissioner r. S.
Mcdonald also saw the phenomenon,
but what he observed had more the
appearance of a faint moving shad-
ow. as if gases were issuing from
the sun itself. He also saw MIN
bus about the upper portion of the
sun. When Mr.. Mcdonald made his
observations the lower third of the
sun was below the horizon.
A number OF others saw the sun
spot today, but only for a brief
time, because of the presence OF
clouds in the south
The phenomenon was also obsev-
ed generally at Fairbanks yester-
day, but reports received from the
States today contain no mention Of

BACHELORS HAVE
WORK UNDER WAY
FOR BIG AFFAIR

Plans for the annual Christmas
tree and entertainment for the chill
dren of Nenana were practically
completed at a meeting of Bache-
lors on Wednesday evening, and the
members of the various committees
are now hard at work attending to
the various details. It was reported
at the meeting that the sum of S464
had been subscribed up to that time:
more than was required last year,
but not quite enough to carry out
the plans for this year, owing to
increased costs and a larger num-
Der of children to provide for Some
money has come in since the meet
ing, however, and the Bachelors feel
assured that the amount required
will have been subscribed by the
time the lists are called in.
Miss Luella Shaffer and Miss Ade-
line Ferretti were named as pres
ent-buying committee, the sum of
S275 having been allotted for the
purchase of toys for the kids. Ad-
ditional funds will be allotted later
for the purchase of other presents.
Alex Funk was assigned the task
of selecting and delivering a suita-
Bile Christmas tree, and Adolph
Olson has already delivered guam
tity of boughs for decorative pur-
poses. Martin Nash is looking after
the decorations and has already
completed a large Christmas piece
that will stretch across the top OF
the stage in Union hall.
Miss Luella Shaffer is arranging
the program, which will be confined
strictly to the children, with the ex-
ception of Mrs. Bert Johnson's Jazz
band, which will render several Sc
lections

there are 76 children under the age

to distribute presents among the ma

sion above Nenana. There are about
sixty Of them to provide for, and
it is the intention of the committee
to send the presents to the mission
for distribution in connection with
the Christmas exercises there.

nounced that they will let the
