Among tbe stringent regulations of
the Canadian government to prevent
coal lands from being held for specula
tive purposes In the Yukon country are
that leases shall be limited to twenty
one years, the annual rental shall be
1 an acre, parable in advance . up
lease shall cover more than 2,560 acres
and tbe land must be contiguous, tbe
lessee cannot assign bis rights without
leave of tbe minister of tbe interior,
and aotual settlers shall be entitled to
buy coal for their own use at the pit's
mouth at not to exoeed $1.75 a ton. In
addition, tbe lessee must pay 5 cents
a ton royalty, and this will kerp tbe
government informed of the amount
being mined.
Teudeuoies toward more liberal
touching in religious colleges are ob
served from time to time. The Eev.
A. Hoffman of St. Louis, has refus
ed to pay to the Missouri Bible college
$5,000, for wbiob he gave a note. He
has been sued by the college and his
defense will be that the note was given
with tbe understanding that college
should toaob orthodox dootrines. Ibis
not being tbe case, he holds that he is
not bound to pay tbe note aud thus
contribute to tho spread of religious
doctrines in which he dues not believe
and which bo thinks are in conflict
with tho toaohiug of the Bible. -; '

SENATORS BY DIRECT PRIMARY.
A few days ago a list was published
of tbe states in wbiob direct primaries
for the election of United States Sena
tors have been established. There
were' 13 states with such a law when
the Legislatures began their sessions
this spring, and five more have been
added, of whiob Iowa and Washington
are tbe latest In addition, Pennsyl
vania has come within a single vote of
adopting snob a measure. '
Now, if one takes this list of states,
iuoluding Oklahoma, and examines it
in . connection with a map, it will ap
pear that 15 of the 18 tbe other three
being in tbe far Northwest make a
contiguous territory stretching from
the Southern Atlantio Coast to tbe Rio
Grande and up through the Mississippi
Valley to Lake Superior.
Begin aft Lake Superior and we have
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri,
making the northern spur. To tbe
southwest lie Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Texas. To the southeast we have Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia, Florida. South Caro
lina and .Virginia. Out of the whole
South only Louisiana and North Caro
lina have yet to adopt tbe custom.
Tbe three remaining direct primary
states lying detached in the North west
are North Dakota. Oregon and Wash
ington. The onuutry is thus praotically di
vided into three sections, of which two
have still to adopt the new plan. One
is the Northeast and the other is the
West beyond the Missouri, but both in
the Northeast and tbe West tbe germ
is at work, and results may be expeot-
ed still more rapidly in tbe next few
years. .,
. The Legislatures are thus being in
part set free from the interference
with their strictly legislative duties
which the senatorial contest involves.
They will not be entirely set free unless
WM
I
on

a constitutional amendment It passed,
or unless tbe states adopt tbe still more
radical plan in which Oregon baa set
the lead and pledge tbe Legislators to'
choose tbe man who gets the most votes
at the polls, even though they be of
tbe opposite party. Chicago Record
Herald. " . '
SANITY AND THE CONSTITUTION.
The Courier-Jonnral is doing what
it can unexcitedly, intelligently and
disinterestedly to consider and discuss
tbe political situation as it slopes
slowly down toward the presidential
period of 1908. It truly wants to elect
a Demooi at President It invites its
Democratic contemporaries, in and out
of Kentucky, to share its investigation
of the actualities of the situation.
But, in a spirit of inquiry and of
brotherhood.
Does any one of them propose, with
out an effort at agreement and prepar
ation, to surrender our chance of vio
tory in advance; with our eyes wide
open to walk blindfold to defeat?
There are serious differences. Can
they not be reconciled? There are
many factions. Must they continue to
baffle our hopes? The Couriar-Jour-nal
may be mistaken, but it is sincere,
it is unselfish, and it is in earnest. It
seeks nothing but a triumph. If the
party can be unified it believes this
possible; yet not, however, if many
Democrats follow our two Lexington
contemporaries in stigmatizing the
Constitution of tbe United States as a
"fetion" and its worship by Democrats
as "a dangerous form of political idol
atry." Louisville Courier-Journal.
WHAT ONE DID BY HARD WORK.
C. G. Frasier, one of the, wealthy
men of Union county, has passed away.
His life exemplifies what can be ac
complished within a few short years in
that county. Twenty years; ago Mr.
Frasier went to that valley with $300
in money, which comprised his entire
capital. His estate is worth $100,000.
This large fortune was made farming.
Mr. Frasier was possibly no better
manager than others, but all give him
credit for being a tireless - worker.
Until the last three, years,' when his
health began to fail, he scarcely knew
what it was to rest He was a pusher.
Everything on the Frasier farm moved
and thus aooumulated bis thousands.
He paid the prioe, but after all,' did it
pay? He praotioally wore himself out
much sooner than he should have done.
However,, this is only conjectural, as
Mr. Frasier's temperament was suob
that he 'could not take it easy. ' That
kiud of a, life to him resulted in great
er loss to hisnervous. system than to
keep everything going under full pres
sure. Mr. iTasier was a man oi Hon
or and his word was equivalent to his
note. La Grande Observer.

MILLIONAIRES SHOPPING.
"Oqr American-millionaires, with
Pierpont Morgan at their head, are the
world's chief collectors of objects of
art,' said a dealer. "As a woman
loves shopping, so do they love collect
ing. J Collecting is, in fact, the mil
lionaire's way of shopping.
"Mr. Morgan, though not exactly a
connoisseur I could deceive him on a
Sevres vase or Bohun miniature still
has excellent taste, and John G." John
son I of Philadelphia is far and away
America's leading connoisseur of
jituuuuga.
'"Amazing are the prices that these
rich collectors pay for small objeo's,
for porcelains and enamels, for minia
tures and rock crystal cups, that are
valueless in tbe eyes of all but a few
hundred experts.
VI have sold them a hunting horn
of, Limoges enamel for $33,000, a
Sevres jardiniere for $47,000. To
y)U, none of tbjose things would seem
worth more than $10 apiece. ,
i "Furniture, especially old French
furniture, looks its value to a certain
extent, but would you believe that this
Louis Quinze writing table, with its
tarnished ormolu scrolls, was worth
$3,000? It is though. It is from the
famous Hamilton collection,, which
realized, all told, $2,000,000. '
"Old silver is not sold by the Apiece,
but by the ounce. At auctions this
practice causes errors among such
shopping millionaires as are green
horns. A splendid Jacobean platter
will be put up, ' and the experts will
bid $30 or $25 for it. A greenhorn
will snap it up eagerly for $30, to find
that he must pay iu the end, not that
stun, tut $1,000 or more, according to
the platter's weight." : -
