PRESS COMMENTS
NO DEMOCRATIC SABOTAGE.

ress Presdent-elect Harding now dep
recates partsanship and bitter PERSONAL
tiles. The impulse that makes him covet
the goodwill Of all his fcllow-cti1ens and
leads him TO pledge mis- best offorts IN their
behalf is greatly to his credit. In that spirit
most of our Presidents have taken office.
II there we're any disposition on the
part Of Democrats and others politically
opposed to Mr.. Harding to thwnrt and
dlscredt his administration at every turn,
they would need only to follow the ex
ample set for them by the Republicans
during the last two and one-half years.
While we we're still at war and the Presl-
dent as ommander-ln-chief wns entitled

the campaign of slander which eliminated
last Tuesday was organized and financed.
IL will not soon be forgotten TINT this
vicious movement was addressed To every
element of dlacontent IN the country, not
excepting those who sympathized with the
enemy. Wherever anybody hostile 10 the

Riches All About Us.

The gold rush that put the Yukon,
Alaska, on the map several years ago wss
insignificant compared to the present-day
stampede for the oil lands in the Fnr North
Money men and women, with their
children. even babies at the breast, are IN
this new drive. Some are making the race
with horses nd wagons, others with dogs
drawing their infants and grub on slcds, all
eager, almost crnzed, leet they may be too
late. The recent discovery Of rich oil wells
in the Mackenzie river basin has set all
Canada by the ears and the excitement Is so
intense that the government cannot IN
duce the adventures to wait until the
more propitious weather of spring They
are willing to face the terrible cold OF the
Arctic zone in the hope of striking oil.
Year by year, some one discovers new
treasures hidden in the unfrcndly soil Of
that great White continent, until we
wonder if her riches are inexhaustible and
numberless in variety Scarcely has the I'D
been lifted in this immense storehouse,
but there have been revealed riches De-
vond computation. 1t would almost seem
that she had been held in reserve by nature
until our own resources had been largely
consumed before the her doors were open
ed and her gold and silver, copper and IRON
and vast stores Of coal and wells oil OIL
were offered for mnn s uses.
What other minerals she may have we
NAV not know for years. or until the right
time for them TO be brought to light.
Above ground she has timber IN almost
inexhaustible quantities, wood enough TO
supply pulp for newspapers to keep all the
presses running for century. Her soils,
even though the growing season is short
produce the finest wheat IN the world, ana
her grazing lands offer pasture abundant
for millions Of cattle and sheep.
Our own country is ideally situated,
situated with reference 10 supplies OF
needful TO the life and hsppi-
ness of man. The riches of Alaska, now
lust cropping out, are scarcely equalied oy
the treasures Of Mexico, which, too, are
living waiting mans needs And farther
south the Americas are teeming with the
richest milk and honey while all
around us. AT our very elbow. we have
evidences Of natures lavish provision for
our needs

MOTOR CARS ON STAGE LINE.
Oid<Four- h. Hand Vehicles on Nevada Rcadways Succumb to March
 of Improvement.

Stnge lines in Nevada have aban- doned the time-honoored four-in-handS of horses in favor of high-powered motor busses.
 Daily. with clocklike precision, these big cars pound along the 100 miles of sun-bitten alkali roadway car- rying passengers and mail. In much less time and far greater comfort the ranchers and business men of today speed over the same roads where once rattled the four-in-hand stage, slow, jolty and not at all certain of reach ing its destination.
 The cost of transportation by motor hus compares favorably with operating expenses of the horse stage. The pro prietors of the lines are thorough busi- ness men and can tell to the penny the gasoline mileage Of every car, the oil consumption and just how much serv- ice is obtained from tires.-San Fran cisco Bulletin.

Land Reclamation Scheme.

The British board of agriculture has inaugurated a scheme for the reclama- tion of land on the Lincolnshire shore of the Wash A bank is being con structed from Wainfleet, a little below Skegnees to Freiston, near Boston Uincolnshire), commencing at the Wainleet end. and by this means it is hoped to recover about 12,000 acres. The work is in charge of a resident engineer in WainGeet and will employ a large number of men, who will be selected from dpmobilized soldiers and sailors and thus obviate the taking away of labor from agriculture. It Is said that in the middle of the last cen tury reclamation scheme was started, and it was then estimated that a sutii- ciently large area would he redeemed from the Wash to form a new English county. The enterprise was abandon ed, but experts have always maintained its practicability, which Is now in the course of being tested.

Saw George EIiot,s Ghost.

The death of Mrs. Katherine Mac quoid, tbe veteran novelist, at the great age of ninety-three, sewers another of the few remaining links with the Vic torian past. A contemporary of George Eliot, Mrs. Macquoid used to tell how she once saw the famous writer in a vision. .e.-r
 When George Eliot went to live at Chelsea Mrs. Macquoid proposed to go and call on her. But before she could do so a remarkable and tragic thing happened.
 One night Mrs. Macquoid awoke sud denly, and saw the figure of George Eliot standing between the bed and the wall. The apparition was distinct and unmistakable. On the following evening Mrs. Macquoid learned of George Eliot's death.
