There is some discussion iu San 1
Diego concerning the advisability
of maintaining the exposition for
another year. The suggestion was
but recently made, and as yet has
net been canvassed to that poiut
where on outsider caa judge how j
strong a hold tho idea will take
upcu the people who do things in
that city. So far as tho discussion
has gone, the suggestion »eoms to
be held iu favor.
Not long ago the Salt Lake peo-j
pie tried to organize something like i
a "round robin," to be addressed to
the Sau Francisco exposition folk,'
and with something oi a similar iu
tent to that expressed at Sau
Diego. Nothing has been hoard 01
that e'^ort, and probably uothing
will result from it; but the argu
ments advanced apply rataer more
pertinently to Sau Diego than to
Sau Francisco.
The Sau Diego exposition h is
been pronounced a gem, unique iu
its owu beauty and design and con
taining more of the quality of per
maueure than the greater and more
costly enterprise iu Sau Francisco
The question of the expense of
coutinuance at Sau Diego is cue,
without doubt, more nearly of prac
tical consideration than it would be
iu the Northern city. The fact that
the Northern enterprise overshad
owed tho other, and the further fact
that for that reason Sau Diego did 1
uot get its just deserts as tho initia
tor of the Panama exposition idea
something more than moral suppor
ou this coast, might result in
something more than moral suppoi
from the rest of the country if the
expoeiticn were continued.
Everyone who has visited San
Diego is free to Bay that that city
is in itself a chow place; and resi
dents of the Pacific Coast should
be uuanimous iu the opinion that
it would serve excellently as a con
tinued exhibit center for the entire
coast. These at least are the con
siderations suggested as iu favor of
the continuance of Sau Diego's ex
cellent exposition.

What has happened in the pas'
is likely to continue in the fu
ture. Hardly any one, we opine,
will question the statement put for
ward bv the Saturday Evening Post
that "ihe United States gets much
less navy for its money than other
powers. *'
Prcoi of this statement is afford
ed br this comparison: The rank
of the United States navy is fourth
or even fifth, while in cost it is a
clear second. Adherents of the
party not in power explain this by
talking about "pork barrels," -while
administration organs defend it by
better material used and higher
wages paid to enable the American

All this is but preliminary to the
equally important statement that
there can be uo possible reason to
expect that this government could
make any better showing in the
matter of government built or gov
ernment owned merchant ships.
"If we can get only two-thirds aj
much warship for a dollar as other
nations get, comparatively," asks
the I'ost, "how much merchant ship I
could we get for a dollar?"
Oue would think, in reading it
just this way, that this is a ques
tion that readily auswers itself, but
wait till cougruis convenes, some
body wants the government to buy
ships aud some congressional ora
tor will again argue themselves
bla< k in the face in favor of it.

WARDEN IN KO\V
Seward, Oct. 29—A row has oc
curred 1-etweeu Chaa. Emsweilor,
one cf the best known guides ia
this district, and Game Warden
Baughman, which will bo settled in
the court and may result in the
o-uue warden losing his position if
Kmsweiler can sustain his charges.
Emsweller recently applied to
Governor Strong for a renewal o£
his liceuso as a guide but was re
fused as he had not secured the en
dorsement of Came Warden Baugh
man. The game warden had also
repotted to Governor Strong that
KmsweUer had violated the game
laws and was not, therefore, a fit
ptrscn to be permitted to securo a
license as c, guide.
The guide has demanded that
the game warden take the same
course with him as with any other
person who has violatod the game
laws, and Baughman has accepts^
the proposition and will cause his
arrest. Baughman says Emsweller'o

illegal killing' of gaitte took placo
two jears ago, but that ho will be
able to produce evidence that will
secure a conviction, l4 jj fjjj
Emsweiler, who la well known
here, and has acted as guide for
a i>arty of British officers and fa
mous sportsmen while hunting In
the Kenal peninsula, declares that
his license was refused because he
demanded that the game laws be
enforced. Ho says that Baughman,
who was appointed game warden by
Governor Strong, is employed In a
drug store and does not attend to
his official duties.
In v.'ew of the fact that illegal
killing of moose has boen reported
from Katchemak Bay and Chlcka
loon flats, and the alleged selling
of the meat at Anchorage, the row
betwen the guide and the game
warden is creating much interest.

You have undoubtedly noticed that a number of your nepotives
taken during the past summer have been flat. This is due to UNDER

a little time to the taking of the picture. Try it—the result, will more
