ANNEXATION TO CANADA.
It u considered an appropriate an
swer to the muddled thinkers and
loos*) talkers about the annexation of
Canada to the United States, that it
would be better for all concerned to
annex the United States to Canada.
That is a joke fit for the simplest
comprehension. Hut it is not so mu>d
of a Joke to talk of annexation of
other American territory to Canada,
and of still other to Japan or Mexico.
It is an axiom oi civilization, that
the only permanent title to territory
is power to govern it for the great
est good of the greatest number.
We justified the rape of islands
from Spain by the long history of
her misgov eminent of them, as we1
previously justified the rape of the
whole southwest from Mexico. Sup
pose the argument were to be turn
ed against us. We remember the blaz
ing candor of the an U- imperialists
weU enough to count upon consider
able American support of it.
The story comes from Alaska that
a serious movement is on foot for
separation of that territory from the
United States and its annexation to
the Dominiou of Canada, and that
mass meetings have been called in
several town to memorialize congress.
It seems that only peaceable separa
tion is contemplated, on the ground
that the United States cannot really
care to keep a territory whose gov
ernment and devlopment it has ne
glected so constantly.
Even if the story have no foundation
the idea is likely to grow. Not only
is the neglect of Alaskan develop
ment in the present deadlock between
the grabbers and conservationists
notorious, it is a matter of common
knowledge that the adjoining parts
of the Dominion are better policed,
better governed, have justcr land, rai
road and mineral laws and contain
a more contented population.
If our old theory of forfeiture by
unfitness to govern is any good, we
cannot complain if it were proven
later that Japan is better qualified
to rule the Philippines or Mexico or
the West Indian Islands than we. ?

320-ACRE HOMESTEADS.
The enlarged-homestead law permit
the entry by one person of o-0 acres
of Government land in the arid StaUs
which is not, in the understanding of
the Government susceptible of irriga
tion. As under the original I6t>-acre
homestead law, this land can bo ac
quired by the settler from Uncle Sam
free of cost, on complying with the
regulations requiring a residence and
and cultivation. The determination
of what lands are subject to these j
double-sized homesteads devolves up
on the Secretary of the Interior, and
since the passage of the set in Feb
ruary, 190y, 190,254,495 have been des
ignated by him as subject to entry
in units of 320 acres. Every month
additional lands are thus designated.
90, 242 acres having been added to
the total in June. ? U. S.Geo logical

Miss Blanch Ring is the song writ
er's friend, and to have her choose a
song for her reportoire as the season
opens means the positive success of
the song. She generally sncures the
exclusive rights for a certain period,
and no other singer is allowed to sing
It In public durig that time. She is
still the leading lady with the Yankee
girl Company, and this year she is
featuring Jerome and Schwartz's aong
? LET'S MAKE LOVE AMONG THE
ROSES." There are few singers who
know so well how to "put a song over
the footlights" as Miss Ring, and
her winning ways invariably induce
her audiences to join in the chorus
and the "ensemble," combining the
full chorus on the stage, the orchestr
and a vast audience is worth hearing.
No one enjoys the effect more than
Miss King, and she always tenders a
profusion of thanks to the chorus in
front, who work to make her songs
a success ? and pay lor that privilege.
The chorus is simple and sweet.
Let s make love among the roses,
dearie, you and 1;
Stealing little hugs and tender kisses j
oa the sly.
Where the honey bees are sipping ho
ey you'll And no gloom;
Let's make love amoug the roses,
where the roses bloom.
Every one around Washington
seems to be busy these days ? from
pages and porters up to the "BiK
Chief himself, they are all busy as .
beavers, making medicine for 191-- ;
Each wallowing in his own conceit,
plays his handful of cards with the
best finesse at his command, while
the rail birds look on and chirp their j
gleeful content
