The Burden of the White House.
lNew York World.l

Something just snapped; that's all,' said Dr. Boone of the manner of death of his illustrous pa
 ent, the President, in San Francisco. The language is not that of science. but it tells what happened The tension had been too great. The fagues of long travel coming after the burden of office in the White House, had proved much for a strong long inured ordinary toll who should have looked forward to many years of healthful life
 The responsibilities of Government in the United States have doubled since Theodore Roosevelt left the White House. Even in his day the office wrecked his marvellous physical equipment and so sapped his abounding vitality that he died comparatively a young Within ten years the Presidency has come to be known killing job The situa- tion in this respect only be improved by re- valuation of it's duties and supposed duties and a for the Presidents time and strength
 He is asked at present to perform work than a Prime Minister and at the time to attend all the ceremonies deyoving in older civil izations upon King a Crown Prince Premier of Great Britain has the confidence of the Govern ment long he holds office. Parliament hefects his policies and furthers his aims Under Cabinet sylvania Avenue and prime minister the other end. The American prime minister must either pet parliament or dominate it. If he pets it. it betrays him. If he dominates it. the cry is sounded that he has set up dictatorship
 That duty and that inevitable dilemma should surely be enough But the President cannot turn all his faculties to play upon his office Execu- tive The people will not grant him his time and freedom for such concentration of purpose He is forced to attend also to the ornamental side of his traditional task to placate communities by presence and speech to waste precious time upon trivial monies and cxpend reserve force in needless per sonal greets and unmportant conversation
 Woodrow Wilson threw overheard the less inl- porant but perhaps not less burdensome part the White House routine and devoted all his attention to running a Government at The people resented his decision and turned him overwhelmingly The duties of prime minister wrecked his health and sent him into private life invalid
 Warren G. Harding had q magnificent physique yirile constitution He attempted both phases of the White House job. The people loved him for 1t and it killed him iii two years.

GOVERNOR BONE.

The prompt denial by Governor Bone of the that came from Washington that he contem- plated rcsgning the Governorship of Alaska is pleas ing to the people of this Territory The Empire be-
 eves that 1t Is expressing the general feeling of the people when it says Alaskans like Governor Bone and believe that he is making excellent Chief Executive He came here enthused with the desire to to help the Territory in the struggle toward development. He has given two years of strenuous work to the uttermost of his splendid abilities 10 the task that aszigned him, and has made excel lent of his time. He has acquired vast amount of information, and naturally is far better prepared to help Alaska new than he at first
 His enthusiasm for Alaska his pride in the Terri tcry and of his citizenship in it and the earnestness of his purpose to aid in every way possible could not fail to be reciproeaed by grateful people. His fine, sympathtec agreeable and tolerant personality is highly appreciated by those of the North who have come to know him, end that includes a very large proportion of the people Alaskans without regard to the location of their residence their political affiliations hope that he may continue to be a resi- dent of this Territory for all time.

IS undesirable to live in, and so move on to other cities
 Newspapers also are chief source of information. Most of reading matter after leave school comes from the papers. What we know about President Hardngs tour about the struggle between France and Germany in the Ruhr, about Henry Ford as a candidate for President, and about other national and world problems, comes from the papers Thomas Jefferson once eaid that if he had to have government without news papers or newspapers without government, he would take the newspapers, because through them he felt the state could be run with at least fair success.
 If some of us appreciated more fully the value of newspapers, would make greater effort to see that they get the news and advertising and become successful Modern society cannot get along without newspapers any more than 1t can without schools and churches.

The Bible and Shakespeare.
(New York Tribune )

The bibliophilist controversy the most valu- able book is determined to the effect as several times before The two supreme candidates for the primacy have long been the Mazarin Bible and the First Folio Shakespeare. Both command enormous prices the occasions when they are thrown the market, and each has it's confident partisans But thus far the Bible holds it's lead. At
 the recent sale of books from the late Lord Carnar
 von's library copy of each sold and the Bible brought SAT .500 and the Shakespeare $30500 A before Shakespeare brought $43,000, but even that well behind the price of the Mazarin Bible.
 As matter of sentiment, the Mazarin Bible, being the first book printed from movable metal types doubtless will always command and deserve su- preme interest From purely practical point of view the Shakespeare might be accounted the val uable That Is because that particular edition of the Bible is for purposes of study better than other, containing special information and throw ing special light upon any passage, while the First Folio Shakespeare is of immense interest to students for its authoty upon words and phrases which, differ in other editions Still, fac similes of it have been made it be studied from such copies. and the book itself is therefore relegated sentimental value.
 Nine times out of ten lists which people make of the Ten Best Books begin with those two, If they are not barred in advance too obviously the best for inclusion in controversial competitive list. And such rank they seem likely permanent to hold.

VALUE OF NEWSPAPER TO TOWN.

Recently Dean M. Lyle Spencer of the School Journalism of the University of Washington was yistor at Skagway and while there at the reque oi the editor of the Skagway, Alaskan, wrote editorial fer the paper He chose his subje the title that appears above, and this is what wrote:
 Few people in the average city appreciate the value of newspaper town Like flowers, they are appreciated most by those who do mot have them. Like mothers they are wanted most when they gone.
 Most people look newspaper as the business Of single individual If it thrives that is tho owners business. If it fails, that also is the owners business As a matter of fact. the success failure of a paper is matter of grave to an entire town.
 If 1t were not for newspapers. rumor and gossip would riot over the world Everyone knows how a simple question asked by someone often is made state ment by another, how that statement is distorted by second or enlarged by third and how it sometimes goes on and On until people do not know what to believe sometimes such a story gets big that the only way it can be stopped is by someone coming out in the paper and stating the pre- ciae truth Such conditions should have constantly, if it not for our news papers
 Newspapers, too, the best advertise ment Q city has in the outside world Other cities judge town by he kind of a newspaper 1t has If il is supported we'll given the news and the advertising patronage it ought 10 have, if thriyes and is able to present an appearance of prosperity for the town to the outside aworld& If it does not kthrivsl butsidcrs are Inclined fo look on the town

SMOKED AND SALT FISH

URING the summer months
fresh meats pail If used in ex-
cess. Sailed and smoked meats
were prepared years ago especially
fer hot weather meals and meant
much when other meat was not avail
able.
Sailed and smoked fish fills quite
the same part in the diet, adding va
riety for persons not dependent on
preserved" foods.
And sailed fish has a thirst pro-
voking tang very beneficial to heated
bodies.
Salt fish calls to mind salt Goldfish
that we may "detest," or maybe salt
mackerel that was so salty we thought
we'd drink the mill-pond dry" before
we were over the disaster of the din
ner. But in truth, all sorts Of delica-
cies are prepared from these homely
salt products. Many of the clever
ard intriguing hors d'oeuvres that are
SO expensive in fashionable rostau-
rants gAn their piquancy by means
of a plebeian sailed or smoked fish.
Smoked Herring Canapes
Four tablespoons minced herring.
2 hard boiled eggs, slices tomato,
4 rounds Of toast, mayonnaise, pars-
ley.
Choose the small homeless variety
of herring. Pour over boiling water
and let stand fifteen minutes. Drain
and work smooth with a fork, add
ing olive oil and 2 teaspoons lemon
juice to make moist enough to spread.
Cut the toast in rounds about one
fourth inch larger than the tomato
slices. Spreaa>~ with the herring.
Cover with slice Of tomato. In the
center Of the tomato cut out a small
place to hold half Of a hard boiled
egg white. Fill this with mayor
naise.
Rub yolks of eggs through a
coarse sieve or ricer and sprinkle on
the toast around the tomato. Sprinkle
minced parsley lightly over the whole
and serve on tiny paper dollies on
small plates. This rule is for four
canapes. The smoked herring is
very piquant and will answer quite
as we'll as much more expensive

Dear Miss Lee; 1 go with boy whom
love dearly enough to marry. He told me
he loves me. y But he gets jealous II /

names
/ see him every night and sometimes
through the day. Do you think that is
too often TO see him? Do you think he
viii soon tire of me if l keep seeing him
so often2 Please advise me. POLLY.
Married men see their wives more
often than this man sees you and
are not supposed to, tire of them; so,
if the man really loves you, I don't
see why he should. However, as long
as you are not engaged, l think it
would be just as well for you to see
him little less often.
You certainly should cure him of
this jealousy, and soon. Let him see
that it does not make you like him
any more; that, If anything. it might
make you like him less Also, show
him that it is more of a. compliment
to him that you should like him best
of many friends. than it would be
If you liked him because he was your
only man friend.
