They are equally concerned with California in having tlie canal opening suitably com inemoratod. They are to derive great advantages from the opportunities that will he afforded to make Unuwn to the world their vast resources. The Courier is in receipt of an un signed communication from Colt n which for vulgarity and lack of de cency overshadows anything of the kind that hits come to our attention. It was ovidently the intention of the correspondent to have the communi cation published in the Courier, hot we retrain for various ieaous The Courier's columns are not intended for such ignorant masphomy, wi-hiug to give to the public news matter of a moro elevating character In con clusion we wish to call the attention thin imriieular correspond Ui and to any other to ba moro careful in tho use ot their language as an ex posure might cause consideiable trouble with tho postal authorities. Rebellion, or insurgency, as it is now called in certain quartern, seems tn be the order of the duy. There is insurgency in that close corporation known hh the republican party, in Burgeuey in the "four hundred," where the wives of multi-millionaires Bated with every matorial thing that this world can give are clamoring for the right of suffrage. Insurgency has overspread the planet We hear of it in Corea, India, Russia and Spi kane Mrs. Helen Baker of the last named place, a very rich woman, a human itarian and a suffragette, takeB the wquare issue with lino evelt en the race Buicido proposition. She savs: "There tiro already too mimy childn u in the world. What we want now is quality. Parents hould bo uught ihe responsibility of banning children int. tho world, and thru, when they have been taught that nine-tenths of the babies lioin every year are nothing up ro or lns than, human culls, I be lieve the birthrate will decrease and we shall have a better and stronger race." There is much reason in Mib. Maker's talk and possibly in a century or two there may he a movement in practical eugenics, a subject to which some scientists, fur uhuan of thoir ace, are giving attention.

Indications point to the selection of Senator Knuto Neisnu of Minnesota ns cliHirm in of the congressional com mittee which will lie appointed to in vestigate the Balliugor Piuchot con troversy. Mr. Nelson is chairman of the senate cem in ittee on public lauds and is regarded tin t e best equipped man in conuruss to tuko charge of the investigation. No decision has been reached as to whether tho probing shall be done by a joint oommittce ooiu posed of meiubcrs of the two branches of congross or by a Bcnat" committee ahuio. In either event Mr. Nolson seems to be slated for the commit tw oliairiniiiiship. On the tariff hill Seuator Nelson was classed as an "insurgent. " Ho is what might be callod a conservative progressive. JNo man in either hraneli of congress has a better reputation for lnduHtry, fidelity to duty and high sei so of pub lic integrity than Mr Nelson. He has boon in tlio public service for a quarter or a century, serving ns a state legislator, as governor of Min nesota, as a member of the bouse and as United States senator for fifteen years.

Now we have another dictum, and this time from the White house, as to what mv bo a lvertiso l as whiskey and this dijtum it is said is not the dictionary dictum. Tho whiskey blenders, however, aro not yet out. of the woods. Between i hem and char sailing there 1h yet the federal court and thu supreme court. The decision ot Secretary Tuft will be considered by all admirers of the Roosevelt, poll cies as a concussion to tho whiskey interest, it will encourage tho whis key clique and will cause the auti salooulsts and the pure food advocates to grievo.

While it would seem iujreasingly difficult to iuveut something which had not already been invented aud patented, the records show 63,000 ap plications for mochunical appliances on which 35,000 patents were issued. Inasmuch as t'ie past year shows an increase of 4000 applications, it is evident that invention, instead of growing less, is on the contrary 8tead,ly increasing; tud while many patents are secured on whioh the in ventors realize little or nothing, yet fortunes are now and will continue to lie made irom new aud piactieal ideas. Iu most cases t'ie causa of failure to realize expectations will be found in the natural tendoncyof an iuvoutor to magnitv the possibilities and mini mize tlio difficulties of selling his in vention. While an oonasumal "find" is made by some oue working aloog a 1 i ti i in which he is poorly iufonned, hundreds waste time and money de veloping some device which when finished proves to he either old or without demand. If the inventor would have his at torney make a seatch of the records bifoie instead of after completing his invention, he would save money and be able to work out his ideas along lines different from those already pro tot ted by patents.
