STEWART ROAD PURCHASED BY C.P.R RAILROAD

Confirmation of the story appear. ing several weeks ago that the Cana dian Pacific Railway had taken an option on the Bear River railroad running out the Stewart, B. C., is re. vealed by the Financial Times of Montreal to the effect that "the an, nouncement that the c. F. R. has de- cided to take up its option on the Mackinzie and Mann's Stewart short line railway is of entire interest to the Canadian Pacific Coast.' The Times goes on to say:
 This will mark the first step in water into the Peace River country the building of railway from tide and the oil lands of the Mckinzie River. If these latter are trapped by line running from Edmonton north ! is it a foregone conclusion that the bulk of the trade will go to eastern points, whereas, if the road is built to the cost the trade will come this way. While the line now said to have been secured by the c. P. R. l is but a few miles in length, it forms but very insignificant portion of large scheme which had for it's obective the tapping of the Ground hog coal areas and the vast Peace River country itself.
 "The oil strike at Fort Norman has been instrumental in turning the attention of the public to the vast practically unknown territory in which the oil field lies, and as the utilization of this oil will depend up- on the feasible routes being found for its transportation to commercial centers, authentic information in re- gard to these probable routes is now of great interest, especially in view of the fact that geographically British for the oil men from Fort Norman Columbia offers the logical outlet and also from the Peace River dis trict if the oil in commercial quan- titles is discovered there.
 Fort Norman is about 400 miles l form the mouth of the Mackinzie river, which is frozen up for the greater portion of the year, and is as an all the year around shipping point which is the principal desidera- tum
 "Skagway is roughly 700 miles railway route, but is must be elim- mated as a possible outlet for the oil owing to it being in America ter ritory, as must also Wrangell, at the mouth of the Stikine river"
 James J. Connors- of Juneau owns half-interest in the Red Top group of silver, lead and copper claims which are cut at one corner by the old survey of the MacKinzie and Mann road, 20 miles from Stewart and six miles from the end of steel. The property is now under bond to Gus Seiffert and associates, among whom are a number of Juneau people. MT. ConnorS sadi today that eX- tension of the present railroad now only 14 miles long, will prove won- derful stimulant to mining activity in the Bear River district, which con- tains number of very promising properties now handicapped by lack of proper transportation facilities.

In the Police Parade.

When the police parade in New
York city on May detachments from
the twoscore or more city and town
depa ry,uents included in the new
Metropolitan Police Conference will
march with the Finest. The police OF
New York always make an impress
sive show, and the presence In line
with them Of guests from other com
munities will testify to the practical
application of cooperation In the sup
preston Of crime and pursuit OF
criminals.
So far, however, 1t has not beer
announced that detachment of State
Police Is to be represented in the dis
play. 1t would be good thing to
have a troop Of these excellent pre-
servers of order on hand to show
what the State Is doing to keep the
peace In rural counties.
Not only would State troopers be
welcome as an exhibit in the police
parade, but If they were in it their
presence would give evidence of co
operation between their establish.
ment and the city force.

Bamboozling the Taxpayers.

One Of the Oldest shabbiest and
most discreditable tricks of legisla-
tive bodies that are pledged TO save
the publie's money but are bent on
spending IL is 10 reduce the regular
appropriations ostensibly and sensa-
tionally and then later, when the
public Il not looking 30 closely, slap
out supplemental and deficiency ap-
preparations rapidly enough and CO.
plously enough to make spring
freshet of squander.
The special session demands on
Congress for more money than the
last regular session voted are already
flooding into the House In various and
varied items running all the way
from small change for a crossroads
Federal Improvement up to 100000
for the Department OF Commerce
end still further beyond that TO
as many hundred millions for the
railroad claims that have come down
to US from the calamity adventure
Of Government operation.
This is not TO say that Secretary
HOOVER does not need and should not
get the funds he wants. Nor that the
railroads must not have the money
that is owed them, for they must !;
that the navy can do without its i'm
perative requirements, for Ii cannot !;
that other absolute necessities can be
ignored, for the Government cannot
operate properly or safely on such a
basis as that.
But 1t is to say, and THE New
YORK HERALD does say 1t, that when
Congress or any other appropriating
power makes a big flourish at rec
ord for saving ii ought to be an hon
est record of a real saving. When 1t
tackles the job of chopplng down ex-
penditures a merciless veto axe should
make sure Of the job at the finish as
well as at the start after the manner
of the genuine saver who stands grim
guard over the public's funds in the
Executive Chamber at Albany, New
York.

We we're talking of the well known
voices of that period when somebody

suggestion, applicable to all these
financial powers which London was
supposed 10 be about to lose, that pos
sibly their retention by England was
not so much due to the fact that they
had been In her possession for so long
a time as TO the fact that no other
city in the world was awake to the
idea that London's place could be
challenged Or it may have been that
any other city awake to the posi-
bility OF challenging London was not
in position to make the challenge.
This is not 50 comforting to Lon
don as would he the idea that mere
possession of power in the past as
sured possession in the future. There
was a time when this country might
have challenged England's control of
silver. II was when Lord READING
came to this country and succeeded in
persuading the Trea sury TO melt
American silver dollars and send
them to India ostenslbly to finance
our trade balance there. But the real
effect was to strengthen Englands
position there and pour hundreds of
millions OF ounces Of the white metal
into part of the world where
British banks were in possession Of
exclusive privileges.
1t was feather In the cap of Lord
READING and he was greatly compli-
mented for the achievement But 1t
was a bigger thing for the British
Empire, which has Its foundations In
British banking supremacy. The day
for the financial challenge Is gone
The British lion can postpone his
fear Of losing his silver crown.

Einstein Made Easy.
The Theory Of Gl0bular Universe
Metaphysically IndOrsed.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Accord
ing to Professor Einsteins relativlty
theory the universe is shaped like a
globe This Is confirmed by the meta
physical conception Of the universe I'M
posed on the mind by the logic of it's
own operations To illustrate:
Let any one attempt to think or the
universe at large as to It's material ex-
tension in space. and IL he poslt his
own mind centrally, as an abstract no
tency Of thinking with equal facility In
all directions, the universe viii neces-
sarily assume in his thought the form
OF a globe. of apparently infinite dimen-
sions; for since his imagination will go
outward in every direction. and since
there ls nothing to prompt 1t to go
further in any one direction tllan in all
other directions, 1t follows that at what
soever distance the imagination may
rest, and give over the hopeless effort
to grasp the apparent infinity of ex-
tension, Il will rest at the same dis
tance outward, upon each of the di-
verging radii hence the resulting figure
can be nothing else than an exact
globe.
The student, beginning TO think upan
80 vast a subject as the universe. can
not but be struck by the circumstance
OF an exact conformity in shape and
figure between the great planetary
bodies-suns. plants and stars, each OF
which, as well as the universe at large.
is called world--and the ideal con-
ception OF the shape or figure Of the
whole universe. or world OF matter and

Railroad Regulation.
Existing Conditions Logical Result
of the Present Dual Control.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your edi-
torial article under the title Sense" Is
the sanest editorial article that / have
read in any paper in many months. II
Il incomprehensible to me how men OF
intelligence sufficient TO Justify their
holding important offices in public life
should be unable TO see the absurd and
illogical conditions under which the rail-
roads of this country are compelled to
operate.
We have created one organization,
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which limits the earning power OF the
railroads. and we have created an en-
tirely different organization which COM
pels the railroad companies TO pay out
OF their treasures an amount In wages
so great as to leave nothing for better
ments and nothing for the return upon
tho value OF the property employed. Hav-
ing done this. We wonder why industry
does not revive. We wonder why rail-
road stocks and bonds are drug on
the market. We wonder why labor is
unemployed and why the farmers wheat
is still in the elevators.
If the railio Dads are to be subject to
the supervision OF the Government, II
seems logical to expect that one body
having control of earnings and the power
to limit income by fixing rates should
likewise have the control of outgo and
the power To limit expenditures for vari-
GUS purposes. If income is 70 be con-
trolled by law. wages should also be
under the same control. When water
runs out at the spigot faster than II
can be poured in at the bunghole It Is
time either to reduce the size OF the
spigot or to increase the size Of the
bunghole.
Perhaps this is too much to expect,
but until some plan shall be devised
which will relieve the railroads of the
country from the results that have been
brought about by the action Of the
Railroad Labor Board In prescribing
the compensation for all employees OF
the railroads and the conditions under
which they shall work we are foolish
to expect revival of industry and a
restoration of conditions which prevailed
when the railroad were not subject to
such control. MERTON II. LEWIS.
