SHOUT BALLOT FOR NEW YORK.
Tin ►•.hurt ballot, which has been occupying thought
among New York publici.-ts for many years, is likely to
be an accomplishment of the administration of Oov.
A| Smith. The Governor favors reducing the number
ol elective offices to three the Governor, the Lieu
tenant-Governor and the Comptroller. All the other
office! s which are now elective would be made ap
pointive by the Governor and responsible to him.
It is said that both branches of the Slate Legislature
—the Democratic Senate and the Republican House
—have accepted the id a, and it will be adopted ac
cording to the (belli.f cf news papermen.
Governor Smith’s plan is al o to extend the terms
of the elective off • .. from two to four years, giving
the Governor time in which tv work out his theories
and dumonstraie w in hi r or not they are satisfactory.
The New York I’m: say all economists have
tudoiscd the plane of the Governor for the short
ballot and for a budget law with teeth in it a law
which wculd enable tin Legislature to reduce but not
increase the amount a; L I fat lit the budget, and the
budget would require the Governor's endorsement be
fore being submitted.
* If Governor Smith's program is carried out the
Secretary of State. Attorney-General. State Treasurer,
State Kngjneer and other officers would he appointed
by tlie Governor. 1: would make the Governor re
sponsible for the executive part of the State govern
ment, and give him authority espial to his responsi
bility. It would make him, iu fact, the chief executive
of the State.

PRAISE FOR COAST OTARI) SERVICE.
The work el the Coast Guard Cutters during the
recent stormr near the entrance of the Strait of Juan
dc Fuca where liny rescued the crews of two wreeked
iteamet and lowed another vessel to safety is being
praised by those in shipping circles. The praise
v.rs earned 1>\ arduous and offici tit services rendered
under trying circumstance^. People who live down
by llie sat do not need a word picture to realize what
it means tn go out cn the ocean when gales ate blowing,
the sea running high and the weather is thick with
driving snow. Fleet and rain to • ■ areli for disabled
. hip«, which under the circumstances are usually near
treachirom ecus s. But even those acquainted with
t "tfariiig conditions, do not always lully appreciate the
nervine rendeerd by the Coast Gttrad Service. That
Is. partly due to the fact that it performs its duty
modestly and as a matter of course without publicity
agents or the t minding ol trumpets. It Is all
in a day's work.
However, there i: a tense of security among those
interest-J in .hipping and the lives of those who sail
in ships when it is known that a Coast Guard Cutter
!» near at hau l and within reach of the rock-bound
coasts. Ilu' knowledge that the always prepared and
(fficicnt men who man tiie cutters are on the job
and ready to go wherever distress may make itself
known may not often inspire pi iplc to give praise
but it cat: a tort oT comlortabie feeling that helps
a L :' rat her reir king, under the circumstances,
tp hear the outburst of praise for this wry useful and
capable r.crvice throughout the Puget Sound country.

“WORK HARD. MARRY YOI’NG AND GIVE
YOL’R MONEY AWAY.’
Work hard, matry jounjt and itive your mono'
away. That is t:he recipe of Nathan Strauss, the
great phiianthrcplet and reformer, for staying young
and being euccersful and happy. Mr. Strauss says he
feels ten years younger at 75 than lie felt at 65. and
he attributes it to th fuel that he has been giving
away hie money to and for t lio benefit of those who I
need it worse than lie do s. .Mr. Strau s said, further,
that John 1). Rockefeller is doing more good than'
anyone tire in the world.
Tiie following is from the New York World on the
etc.aelon cl the celebration of .Mr. Strauss’ seventy
llfth birthday: * I
j ,-I am seventy-live years old," declared !
• t ~«•
the brnr-tsctor <»f thousands of babies, “but
1 feel ten .wars younger today than I did
ten years ago, because 1 have given so mm h
of ni> money to those who need it worse than
myseli. I- all rich people knew the pleosire
of giving they would do so. When I die
I will |.a\e only a little for my children.”
Referring to wealthy men who have dis
charged ■ obligations plae d upon them by
wealth. M'. Strums said: "Mr. Rockefeller
is doing more good than any one else in the
world by It: wise bestowal of millions where
the health of the world may he improved."

No Third Party.
(Cincinnati Enquirer, I
The talk o: a third party continues with Fitch !
persistency - to induce a belief that its fabric lrJ
the result of a purposeful propaganda. But there al
ways has been talk of third parties, talk which some
times cr. llizi l into concrete, organized political
entities However, without considering the political
division ami .i; Mites which distinguished the earlier
years of the republic, it may be said that nothing:
serious liar threatened the situation which has wit
nessed the control of the nation’s affairs by the
Democratic and Republican parties since they assumed'
the task
Much v I'sr has, run under the bridge since 1 872.
when the l. n :al Republicans" met in Cincinnati,
in convention, under the Chairmanship of Carl Schurz, J
with Horace (. ley, Chat lea Francis Adams. Horace
" Hilt', i. uiion i' i it Kin, George i loudly, Lyman Truin-:
bull, Cliatim. > M Depew. Samuel Howies, George W
Julian, M in ai Halstead and Alexander McClure back
of the movement, and put in nomination candidates
for President and Vice-President.
The Populist party came and departed. The Pro
hibition pan. functioned itself into ‘innocuous
desuetude. The gold standard Democrats enjoyed
i their brief diversion. The dynamic and spectacular!
'defection from tlie Republican party of the virile
Roosevelt in 1H1 _* expended its meteorle force and re
mains a matter of unique political history. Talk now
rf Henry Ford at the head of a third party disturbs
not Hie ii-nity of the leaders of the two great par
ties. The demand of the present is for a statesman
ship founded upon the principles which the followers
ol Jefferson and Jackson, of Lincoln and Harding
exemplify , nd interpret according to their respective
viewpoints. There is no suggestion that these great
parties, which check and balance each other, have in
any wi.v forfeited their right, or have failed in
their ahiliti' to administer the affairs of the nation.
Certainly there H no appreciable demand on the part
ol Hie citizenship cl the nation for Mr. Ford, or
Mr. Bryan, or any other receptive individual to lead
a third party at this or any proximate future time
in championship of an Imperiled democracy.
Wants Blue Sky Law.
(Seward Gat way.)
The Territorial Legislature should pars legislation
designed not only to bring more revenue into the
Territorial coffere, but also to deal a blow to the
numerous fake companies which will ck a foot
bold in the Territory if oil is struck at Cold Bay.
Fake mining c&manier, organized for the sole
purpose of selling Hock and victimizing stockholders,
[have done more to wreck th- mining game in Alaska
[Gian any other one tiling. Millions upon millions of
.dollars have been uutde by uiiscrnpul ,us fly-by-nigln
concerns, operating in Seattle and other cities, and
more millions will he mulcted Lorn credulous in
vestor who believe that a prospect is a mine, and
that all mines pay.
At piesent, tiny corporal.on cun do bueima s in
'he Territory by paying a small fee. Territorial offi
cial; may know these corporations are takes of ihe
lit t magnitude, but they are .forced to Like their
money and issue corporation papers.
The oil game will open possibilities never dreamed
of in the mining game. Cold Bay is an inaccessible
fulil. not likely to be visited by an Investor in wild
cal stocks. Any kind of skin game can be worked
in sjlcty unless a law is made protecting invi tors
and forcing promoters to -how good faith bv placing
bis colds on the Gable.
