Ottawa and Washington.
(New York Tines.)


 Echoes of the Canadian election are still heard Tn Washington. There apprehension is scarcely hidden that serious interruption of our trade with the Dominion may be expected. This fear will be only heightened by the given by Sen ator Watson that there is for it what ever, we are greatly informed that he has made thorough study" of the tariff plans of the new Canadian Government, and is confident that they will not in the least interfere with our commerce across the border This coming from such source VIII surely deepen anxiety. MT. Watsons state ment was made, moreover, before the declaration Of intentions by the incoming Canadian Prime Minister, MT Bennett He said that he had 10 objection to the United States erecting a tariff wall against Canada, and that the Dominion merely thought it right to erect one of their own against the United States If the Washington authorities do not see in this a virtual notice of the begin nlng of tariff war with Canada, they must be so far sunk in official optimism as not to be able to perceive the horizon
 Other effects political effects of the Canadian election have more immediate and palpable lessons for the Washington Administration. Prime Minister Kings overwhelming defeat largely due to busi- ness depression and unemployment in Canada These were to many thousands of Canadian voters unan- swerable arguments for a change of government. Will the same thing work in the same way in the United States? This is the question which Repub- hcan managers are asking each other with bated breath. In public they keep up a bold front and protest that it would be unfair and cruel to hold FreSiuenI Hoover ana his party responsible for the setback in business and the great increase in un- employment But the case is not one for nice moral distinctions Rough -and-ready voters go straight to their conclusions without much regard for their premises They will say, with kind of rude justice that if the Republican Party took credit for prosperity, it cannot escape blame for diversity.
 T observe" once said President Mckinley that political majorities rise with prosperity" By par ity of reasoning, they sink when prosperity does Such is the illogical but unavoidable decision of democratic electorate, The situation may be changed much for the better by November but even so Re publican experts cannot avoid certain fearful looking for of judgment when they pause to con- slider how probable it is that what happened in Canada will also happen here.

THE AIRPLANE AND ENDURANCE.

Dale Jackson and Forrest OBrine the St. Louis endurance fiers, have in their second attempt long out-distanced the recently famous Hunter family of Chicago to whom they had lost their endurance championship. It is intimated that the Chicago boys will try again but suggest that they not start until their St. Louis rivals come down. They have said they expect to remain in the air for two three weeks longer. One more day, if they do not stop before will make four weeks of flying for them and their plane without stop.
 Jackson OBrine and the Hunter brothers, who sad in the air for twenty days, have at least given the world authentic demonstrations of the ft of American airplanes An airpane that can keep going for a month without a stop is, to say the least, wonderful machine. We have gone a long way since the Wright brothers made that record on Kill Devil Hill Kittyhawk, North Carolina, in December 1903.

ALFALFA BILL" FOR GOVERNOR.

Oklahoma has had lot of picturesque Governors, of whom have been impeached She has had none however, more picturesque than Alfalfa B' Murray whom the Democrats have nominated for that office
 But in spite of the failure of the many fanciful panaceas for the ills of mankind that he has ad- vanced from time to time during his colorful Alfalfa Bill" has always been regarded as honest; and he is older and less active than he when he organized that South American colonization scheme.
 At any rate he is the way toward the achieve ment of the ambitions of a lifetime. In the mean time it is Oklahoma that is taking a chance. It isn't much of anybody else's business

AN HONEST RICH WOMAN.

Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel Riddle Jr, recently paid S77000 customs duty on personal property which she brought from Europe in her baggage. Every cent of it was property which she declared and not a cent for fines. Her declaration of personal purchases while in Europe, amounting to $325 000, said to be the largest declared in New York. But she could afford it. Before she married into the famous Philadelphia Drexel- Riddle fortune she Miss Mary Duke, daughter of Benjamin Duke from whom she inherited the largest share of the Duke fortune and became the largest Am erican Tobacco Company stockholder. Therefore, her declaration not vulgar display of wealth. It was an example to those who do not always declare all of their purchases.
 It is significant that newspapers and public officials think it strange that woman would go straight from her ship to the customs house to which she had sent list of her purchases by wire less and where certified check waiting to cover the charges. It indicates that all of the incoming Americans not so frank and honest.

THRIFT, OPPORTUNITIES AND YEARS
 CREATED A GREAT FORTUNE.

While he had always associated with people of great wealth, Chauncey M. Depew, for most of his long life time either attorney for or President of the New York Central, was not accounted as one of the immensely rich of the country. Yet he left an estate of net value of nearly s160oo- 900 after the payment of debts inheritance taxes, cost of administration and other charges
 Of this vast sum only about s55000O was rep resented by stocks and other securities of the New York Central and associated companies, of which he was of the dominating factors
 Aside from sl00O0oO to Yale without strings of any sort, $l00000 to the towns of Peekskill for educational purposes and nearly s5O0O0O nephews and nieces, the remainder of his property went to his widow and son in about equal proportions ex- cept that the widows life estate in her one-half of the residue, s6,s37ooo. goes to the son at her death. The widow and got about s35oOoo in cash in addition to residences, furniture works of art and other property property amounting to many thousands. in direct gifts.
 Depew not a promoter, an organizer of

His earnings at the peak of his career were not much over Sl00000 year and for most of his life they were much less. He was, however, thrifty and saved and wisely invested his income. He had friends and associates that gave him opportunities for investment that were not available to most men However, he Wredited what success he had to his saving. And he had many-a great many-years in which to save. He was 94 when he died

Throw Aside Expediency.
(New York Herald Tribune.)

There is no question to how a majority of the voters in this State feel about repeal But moet of the vets are in the Democratic Party and we cannot risk offending the drys" whispers the voice of expediency It is time to throw aside expedency and place the Republican Party squarely in line with the movement for repeal to the end that we may work out a system of control and education which will bring about greater measure of ten- perance than we now have It is time to throw off the shacke5 of the Anti-Saloon League ana similar dictatoral influences from without the par ty. It is time to have platform and a candidate appealing to the people ringing true-free from the slightest suggestion of evasion of what should not be- and must be until it is settled right. the vital question of the day.

SIGN OF HARD TIMES.

Will Rogers recently said:
 You can always tell poor business year
 by the number of candidates when nobody
 else will give you employment you feel
 like the State should
 Advance stories approaching primaries and the returns from those already held would indicate that this is a poor year for business. There are certainly lot of candidates for office.
 However, there is comfort in Will Rogers's ob- servaton: Things in our country run in spite of government. Not by the aid of it.
