Under a new Canadian postal regu
lation nearly all the American maga
zines are classed as third class mail
matter instead of second class, as here
tofore. Not long ago a Canadian
statesman complained of the immense
circulation in Canada of American
magazines and the atmosphere they
are creating in the northern country.
Whether the complaint is responsible
for this postal regulation or not will
probably not be known. At any rate
the change will increase the cost of
this class of American literature in
Canada, and, probably, curtail its cir
culation there.
In the closing debate on the railroad
rate bill, which he voted for because
he thought it better than existing
laws, Senator Tillman paid this just
tribute to President Roosevelt:
"But for the work of Theodore
Roosevelt in bringing this matter to
the attention of the country, we would
not have any bill at all. It is true that
the idea was not his and that the
demand for the legislation was made
in three democratic platforms; never
theless he seized upon the idea, and the
success of the issue is largely due to
his advocacy. I o*n't congratulate him
on his victory, for I think we should
have had a better bill.'*

J. Edward Addicks, for many years
an aspirant for the United States senate
from Delaware, has consented that Col.
Henry A. Dupont shall be elected to
the seat he has coveted so long. He
has joined in a request to the governor
to call a special session of the legisla
ture for the purpose of electing a senat
or to fill the vacancy which has existed
for more than a year, with the under
standing that Col. Dupont will be the
man. Addicks explains his action as
beiDg necessary to prevent the state
from going democratic this fall. That
he says would destroy his years of
labor to make Delaware republican.
The insinuation, from wherever it
comes, that a man is not a patriot be
cause he advocates the policies of one
or the other great political parties, or
any other party, is rank nonsense. ?
Juneau Kecord-Miner.
Of course. So would be an insinuation
that a man is not a Christian who has
a fondness for one or the other of the
Christian churches, and one has as
much bearing on Alaska and the polit
ical situation here as the other.
The Juneau Record-Miner has col
lected an interesting array of comments
on the part of Alaskan papers about the
activity of "Alaskans in Seattle" in
the*matter of Alaskan politics. It is
true, they are very busy down there
with our affairs. However, the Rec
ord-Miner neglects to record the fact
that the declaration that political lines
would control in the Alaskan election
was made in Seattle.
The Alberta legislature has confirm
ed the action of the Dominion govern
ment in making Edmonton the capital.
Calgary was a contestant for the honor.

THE SIMPLE LIEE
In a letter to Mrs. G. B. Wright, of
this city, Jack Haley, formerly of this

the information that he is farming and
getting along finely. He has 10 acres
of land, 250 chickens, a horse and bugjry,
and is following tbe simple life in
a manner that would make our friend
Wagoer take him for the hero of his
next book if he only knew.
