HOLDING UP APPOINTMENTS

Federal office holders in Alaska cluding Judge Bunnell and United States Attorney Roth of the Fourth division, are threatened with short lease of official life in case of the success of the Republican ticket this fall, believes the Seattle Alaska Dis patch.
 It has become known since the two national conventions closed that there is concerted plan to prevent any more combinations of Mr. Will sons appointments by the senate, says the Seattle paper. The Republi- cans, of course, do not wish to let the president name his favorites to long terms in fat jublic offices overlap ping the most of the tenure of Sen- ator Harding, should he be elected. There is nothing unusual about this feeling on the part of the Republi- cans
 Eight years ago when President
 
 Wilson was elected the Democrats permitted no Taft nominations to be confirmed during the short session of congress, thus holding over for the Democrats a large number of good places, including a federal judgeship at Seattle.
 The situation at this time is differ ent, however, because there appears to be a general agreement among some Democrats in the senate that all Wilson appointments should be held up in order to allow Cox if elected, to reward the faithful.
 Three nominations to the interstate commerce commission are among those which will be stopped and President Wilson is expected soon to fill two vacancies on the shipping board, one of which will go to north west man. The latter also will be held up.
 A postmaster is soon to be named HOT FOfIldHu, OIe., at d odla1y oL po,ooo a year to fill the vacancy caused by the summary removal of Frank s. My CTS some months ago, but the appoint ment is not likely to be worth the paper on which it is written by the present occupant of the white house.
 The Republicans are convinced that it would be a mistake to let MT. Will son give important seats in the exe- cutive administration of the nation to the policies of MT. Harding and strangely those who surround Cox seem to feel the same way about it in regard to their candidate.

LOOK OLDER THAN LONDON
Many American Cities Suggest Age
and Psrmansnoe, Says e. v.
Lucas, Visitor From kuFcps.

Looking back On it all, I realize
that America never struck me as a
new country, although its Inhabitants
often seemed to be new people,
writes Il. v. Lucas In the Outlook.
The cities are more mature than the
citizens. New York, Chicago, Boston,
Philadelphia, Washington-all have an
air of permanence and age. The build
ings, even when most fantastic, sug-
gest righteousness or at least sta
hlity: nor would the presence OF
more ancient structures increase this
effect.
To the eye of the ordinary English
man, accustomed to work in what we
call the city, In Fleet street, In the
Strand. In Piccadilly or In Oxford
street, New York would not appear
to be a younger place than London,
and Boston might easily strike him
as older. Nor is London more than
a little older, except In spots, such as
the Tower. and the Temple and the
Abbey and that little Tudor row In
Holborn, all separated by vast tracts
Of mOdernity.
Indeed, would almost 60 further
and say that London sets up an IL
fusion Of being newer even than New
York, by reason Of its more disturbing
street traffic both In the roads and on
the footways, and the prevalence of
the gayly colored omnibus which thun-
ders along so many thOroughfares, In
notable contrast to the sedate and
sober vehicles that serve Fifth avenue
and are hardly seen elsewhere.

LEARNED SECRET or INDIANS
Bsy's Chance Discovery Revealed How
AborIginss Constructed Their
Bone Arrow Heads.

Gushing, an eminent authority In
matters pertaining to the Indians, has
told as how, as boy, he learned the
way Indians made their flint arrow
heads.
iHe had unearthed q beautiful har-
pooh Of bone. He had toothbrush
with him, and the bone handle Of this
he chopped or and ground down on q
piece Of sandstone to make harpoon
of his own; but he could not grind
such clean-cut barbs as those Of the
relic.
The boy then took his fint-scales
and chips and set to work with them.
The flint cut the bones away, but left
the work rough. Then accidentally
he made discovery, for no sooner
had he begun to rub the bone trans
versely on the flint than the bone cut
the flint away. Not taggedly, as his
hammer-stone would have Clipped It,
but In long, continuously narrow sur
face burrows wherever the edge
was caught in the bone at certain
angle.
He never finished that harpoon. He
turned 1t about and used 1t as an ar
row cutter, by tying 1t to little rod
OF wood with a shoestring. de had
found out how the Indians made ar
row heads.

GREAT BENEFACTIONS.

ANNOUNCEMENT was recently
made of another gift by Mr.. John D.
Rockefeller for work Of public well
fare. In size it was not his largest,
being considerably exceeded by at
least two others. Yet it was by far
larger than any hitherto made ex-
ceptirg by Mr.. Rockefeller himself
and the late Mr.. Carnegie. And al
though it forms only about one
seventh of the giver's total benefac-
tions, it is so vast as to dwarf by
comparison such givings as those of
Stephen Girard, Peter Cooper, George
Peabody and others who, in their
day, were justly regarded as princes
of public bounty.
The incident gives rise to some
interesting speculations upon what
we may term the etical potentiali-
ties of such enormous benefactions.
or rather the creation of such enor-
mously rich foundations" Mr..
Rockefeller has given in all approx
mately half billion dollars, of
which about three-fourth has gone
to three great foundations" He
has endowed three corporations, each
with greater wealth than any but a
very few men possess in all the world
The purposes of these corporations
are admirable beyond exception. Of
that there can be no question. Yet
their potency, with such resources
at their command, is SO great thai
any man might well hesitate to as
sumo the responsibility Of being as
sociated in the responsibility of adj
ministering them.
1t is q facile and frequent criti-
cism of great wealth that no man
can honestly" earn hundred mil
lion dollars, nor rightly use it; and
no matter how irreproachable may be
the personally character Of the pos
SCISSOR of such a fortune, and no
matter how benevolent may be his
attitude toward his fellow-men
there are some idiots who will con-
denim him for being richer than any
man has right to be, and who will
insist that he must almost certain
ly, out of sheer necessity, misuse
his wealth.
Now if these criticisms were just
instead of being non-sensical-it
is difficult to see how these great
benevolent foundations could logical
ly be exempted from the same OBJ
jections. Obviously, if the founder
had not honestly earned the money,
and so had no moral right to it, then
the foundation had no right to accept
his wealth. Neither an individual
nor a corporation is justified in ac-
cepting stolen goods. Again, il
no man can justly and rightly use so
large a fortune, then it may be
argued that no board of trustees or
directors of a foundation can do so,
and therefore that it is inevitable
that so vast an endowment will be
misused. We can, of course, con-
ceive an individual using q great
fortune for evil ends. So can we
conceive great corporation, founda-
ton, institute or what not, as using
its powers and resources for an evil
end. and we are quite sure that
the evil corporation would be more
potent for harm than the individual.
To our mind the one argument is
about as absurd as the other. If
it were evil for an individual to
possess a hundred million, per Sc
it would similarly be evil for a cor
poration to possess it. But if
corporation has a right to hold such
wealth and can use it justly and
