SHAW PROVES HIS PATRIOTISM
(New York American.)
Because George Bernard Shaw told
Englishmen the truth at the outbreak
of the war they hated him. He knew
tn.it English statesmanship was not
infallible, und suid so. He believed
that England had no business in the
war, und was not afraid to proclaim
it. And from one end of the kingdom
to tin- other he was execrated and
abused, accused of being a pro-Ger
imiii, charged with treachery to his
country.
Even when the stodgy Britons, after
u year of lighting, began to realize
Unit Shaw had really told the truth,
they did not leave off hating him and
deriding him.
But when England wanted a war
loan Shaw was among the first to sub
scribe. And his subscription of a hun
dred thousand dollars is probably
larger than that o any other Briton of
similar means.
Shuw made this subscription, not
because he cured the snap of his ling
ers for the opinion of the dull wits who
tlouted him, but because he loved his
country. He is a greater Briton and
u better Briton than must of those dl
i acting the affairs of that country,
and It would be far better for King
George if he had more subjects of the
Bought and intelligence and the ability
to Me and tell the truth that distin
guishes this brilliant irishman.
WEALTH IN FISH.
(Seattle P.-l.)
Aside from the wealth of timber, the
deposits of guid, the copper and the
coal wealth of this northwest coast,
which seems wellnigh inexhaustible,
the Creator, for good measure, filled
the waters of the sea and of the rivers
und lakes of this region with varieties
of food tlsh in such ubundunce as to
now constitute the principal source of
supply for the whole nation. The Im
portance of the fishing industry has
i.ot been fully understood even by the
people who reside on the coast. Re
cent bulletins of the federal govern
ment and several magazine urtlcles go
fur to impress this upon the public.
This coast und particularly Alaska
and the l’uget sound district, supplies
most of the salt-water tlsh consumed
by the people of the interior, the sal
mon und halibut going even to the
Atlantic coast, the halibut catch form
ing 85 per cent of the supply of the
whole country.
one Pacific coast company alone
ships to the market 1.000,0U0 cases or
48,000,000 cans of salmon annually.
This company puts up 40,000 cases on
the Columbia river, approximately
400,000 cases on Puget sound and 460,
000 cases ill Alaska. Since the period j
of development began the Alaska
fishing grounds have yielded $1176,000,- |
oou worth of fish, nr more than the
amount of mineral wealth produced by
the territory since its purchase by the
United States.
UTAH GENEALOGY.
—
(New oYrk Sun.)
The Genealogical Society o Utah
met recently in the Utah building at
the Panama-Pacific exposition In San
Francisco and held a convention latef
at the Civil Center. The newspapers
generally contented themselves with
saying nothing more specific In a
genealogical way than that there was
“a largo representation of persons in- \
b usied in genealogy."
Utah Is the garden of Intensive !
genera logy. Nowhere else does this

industry find so much nutriment, in
no other region does its pursuit so
utscipiine the mind of the pursuer.
The Utah genealists thus becomes
ublo to solve otfhund life’s most puz
zling problems of relationship—prob
lems thut would reduce the mind of
tile ordinary genealogist to a driveling
1 entity and then to a blank.
Who but tile Utah genealogist could
prepare a chart, for example, showing
tile relationships eventuating in the
'course of time from the wedlock union
of a Mormon with two contemporary I
Ulsters, which made the children of
each at the same time cousins and half
! brothers, and half sisters, made their
'mothers, and made the old man his
own brother-in-law'.’ Venturing a
jslep further into tlie genealogical
labyrinth, we find that this ancestor
I has grandchildren who are his neph
ews and nieces by marriage because
they are the offspring of Ills wife’s
sister, and who are double cousins
and inure in that their motliers are
sisters and their mothers’ husband is
closer to himself tl. in a brother.
The foregoing is one of only the
most simple problems furnished by
tlie martial mazes witli which Utah
genealog.sls have to deal. l'urthei
Y.nd vastly more intricate puzzles wer. i
suggested by a function incidental to
i lie convention of the Genealogical
Society of Utah a reunion of the
Young family, descendants of Brigham
Young.
I edigree, like good applejack, im
proves with age. Whether or not
Utah’s peculiar domestic policy of
friendly neutrality and watchful wait
ing on t>ie part of the old man, whicn
made the territory and lutcr the state
so rich in its unrivaled brand of ped
igree, lias been abandoned the state
lias on hand a sufficient store of its
own product to stimulate all uf its
present genealogists to the end of
their days and leave an ample residue
for those thereafter to come.
That state, so favored in many other
respects, will remain in the mutlti ot
genealogy, until the final cataclysm
sweeps away all family trees, what she
now Is—Utah ueber Alles.
WAR DIVIDENDS ONLY FOR FEW.
(New York American.)
Lest we become too enthusiastic
over the richest accruing to the coun
try from the enormous amounts of
war munitions, ami ammunition being
manufactured here, it is well to'note
that the average person in tills city is
far from sharing in the huge profits
being made.
The head of a large savings bank
yesterday told a representative of tills
paper that institutions holding the de
posits oft eh common people are out of
the bund market, notwithstanding that
securities are selling at bargain prices,
ause the savings banks have no
trow money to invest at this time. Tiiiv
,n. that most of us need nearly all
of our present income in order to live,
■ tid consequently are appearing less
frequently at the receiving teller's
window with our passooks.
But there is a silver gleam. This
same executive says workingmen's de
posits are being kept intact and also
that owing to the low prices of rall
. oad issues the dividend yield is hign,
which permits the savings banlt3 to
show the best earnings in years.
BEFORE COLUMBUS.
(Chicago Evening Post.)
We begin to suspect there was truth
..t the bottom of the old variety show
gag, which had Columbus saying to
Isabella: “Queen, please give me some
cash; I want to discover America."
Mayhap Columbus, knew from others
that "America” was waiting to be
turned up. Certain it is that if we be
lieve all we hear this beloved conti
nent of ours was discovered long be
fore Christopher put seaward from
Palos.
