I nvestigation into the bond'bids for
the recent popular war loan shows that
the loan has not been so popular as the
figures given out were intended to sug
gest. Hundreds upon hundreds of bids
were made in individual names simply
for the convenience of bankers and capi
talists, who advanced the purchase
money and absorbed the bonds. The
popular bond issue soon accumulates in
the hands of the wealthy few, no mat-
tei how widely distributed it may have
been in its inception. The only practi
cal and practicable way of floating a
real popular loan is by the establishment
of postal savings banks, in which the
savings of the thrifty may bo safely in
vested.

opinion of such an auHmrity - ar Dr.
Andrew Wilson, of Jxmdoii, will be to
the point, He writes thus: “I have re
ceived several lettersuf late rejterntin^ a
question I might well 1*3 tkuul oi an
Mwering, ‘Do tomatoes cause cancer?’
But for the fact that oue takes a pfeasqi e
in stamping one’s foot on a misleading
atatemt-nt, calculated to prejudice |»«<>pTe
against a vegetable food winch is en
tirely healthful and safe, 1 should grow
weary of asserting that not a jot or tittle
of proof has been offered in support of
the outrageous statement noted above.
One might as well allege that cabbage
causes cancer, for there would be no
more proof to be had concerning the
tomato myth. I can only repeat that
the tomato is an excellent vegetable en
ough, and may be partaken of by those
with whom it ageea without any fear of
its initiating any disease whatever.”
I t is remarked in regard Io the pro-
posal of the Hawaiian commission to
give the islands a teiriloiial form of
government, under u'hich the people
will have.tbe management of their local
affairs, as in the territories of the United
.States, that it leaves op m the possibility
of future statehood for Hawaii. Such is
the case and it is a m.itter-nf tro slight
concern to the American people, but as
the New-^York Commercial Advertiser
observes, .the present generation can fiat
settle it except for the time being. Even
if the z\meiksaii people should deciare
nnanimouftly to-day, as they umh>Ubl-
e<lly* would do, that Hawaii should never
be admitted to statehood, theie would
be nothing in the decision binding upon
the American people of twenty years
hence. Settlement of this question
must be left to future events, just as was
the question of admitting Utah to state
hood.
I f it be true, ns political economists
assert, that the commercial primacy of
the world belongs to the country that
can produce the cheapest pig iron, then
the United Suites is certain so attain
this primaev. A writer of authority
in such matters, Mr. John Fooid, says
that iron and steel are produced in the
least favored localities of the United
States as cheaply as in Great Britain :
in the most favored localities they are
produced more cheaply. Yet iii the very

This treaty will take rank in imp pm tance

The action of the peace commission at
Paris will not bo final. The treaty on

only the first.
T here is no doubt but what Cleve
land’s order reserving 21,(MW,000 acres ns
a forest reservation was too sweeping,
and should be modified. At the same
time it is claimed by others, !t was a
move in the right direction. There is a
great deni of injustice in the order, to
gether with a big round lot of ignorance
as to conditions. In Arizona it is claimed
that a recent order issued by McKinley
will wipe out the entire milling business
in Williams «ml Flagstaff, which now
amounts to 50,000,000 feet annually. It
is asserted this order w as secured by cer
tain limber owners who desire to shut
these mills out. In Washington the re
sult has been to drive off a good many
bona fide settlers.
The work laid out by the govern
ment for the superintendents of Fores
try, if earned forward energetically, will
prove most effective in reducing the
number of forest fires. Already good
reports come from Southern Oregon of
the work done by the forest patrol;
fewer fires, in fact none of consequence.
As soon as hunters, campers. Hearers
and loggers find that government offi
cials are in earnest in this work, the
number of fires will be reduced to a
minimum.
