"Lioe Intensely, Die Swiftly"

OCCASIONALLY there arises a man out of pol.
" itical party environment who is so much bigger
and better than party that he reflects credit upon
the organization and adds responsibility TO ii.
Bourke Cochran was such a man. He was a Demo
crat, but a high minded one and broad enough to
decline to support party men or measures when
they did not stand four square. He was a Tam.
many member but an honorable and upright one.
In his long and active public career of more than
forty years, he was the friend of humanity, up.
holder of the right, defender of the weak and
helpless. He was beloved by all political party men,
by all religious sects. jew and Gentle, Catholic
and Protestant alike honored him. He was a friend
of Ireland, his birthplace and no man or woman
doubted his Anericanism on that account. He was
n great lawyer, a great orator and a great states
man. He was a great citizen because he obeyed
the laws, and led others to that same pathway,
He omitted no opportunity to do a kindly act, nor
support n. good cause. His life was full and COM
plete. His lifeis motto was Give intensely and die
swiftly" He fulfilled it.
He was an ornament to American public life
and his going leaves a void that can never be filled

THE QUESTION is, is William @. Deming, of
l. the Cheyenne Tribune to be coranniserated or
congratulated as a member Of the federal
civil service commission?
OF course, If q man desires to abandon the quiet
of an editorial sanctum, with all the power, priyi'
legcs, honor, emoluments and other things apper'
tanning, to engage in holding examinations In alge-
bra, vulgar fractions, grammar, photography, and a
lot of other useless learning, neither pertinent nor
relevant to the holding of government jobs, we sup
pose that is his own business.
William will learn that it Is not u popular
occupation when he comes in contact with the
people who want Jobs and the believers in the
theory of goyernment-to the yictors belong the
spoils. 1t is q whole lot different from examining
a linotype operator, just arrived, as to where he

"The vessels under private own

ally abandoned the hopeless task
of competing with the more
cheaply operated foreign fleets,
and have turned to the protected
traffic of our coastal waters, where

equal and the opportunity is pre-

Kaiser Bill Expecting
Another Heir Shortly

London. March 5.-A special
correspondent of The Daily Chron-
icle writes:
A family event, l learn is eX-
pected to take place in a few
months time at Doom House, the
eX-KaiSer'S place of exile in Hol-
land. The ex-Kaiser is particular
" enXious that the first born of
his second marriage should not
see the light of day 'in exile" In
order to avoid this, negotiations
have been going on for some time
to enable eX-kaiser to enter into
possession again of his villa in
Corfu. If the negotiations are sue
cessful he hopes that the coming
scion of the House of Hohenzoll-
ern will be born on that island.
The ex-KaiSer knows it is too
much to expect permission to go
with his consort to Corfu, but he
hopes the Princess may be per-
mitted to go there sometime be-
fore the birth of the child. The
Princess is in excellent health, and
the coming family event seems to
have given the ex-monarch new
interest in life"

"These pagans and radicals are

To Make Pearls
From Fish Scales

London, March "a project to
make artificial pearls out of fish
scales is being promoted by a
group of Americans who are Wis
ting Scottish ports in search of
factory accommodations. They
plan to use the scales of herring,
which are caught in abundance
herabout. The scales will be
chemically treated and compress
ed under the new process and
shipped in alright cases to Amer
lea.
The material thus obtained viii
be called "chiltin." The promot-
ers say that by their secret pro-
cess they can make out of this
artificial pearls with the velvety
feeling and lustre Of real pearls.
North Sea herring are said to
have the most desirable scales, so
the Americans expect to locate
near the large curing centers in
Aberdeenshire.
