the disestablishment bill.
The Established Church of Wales
is the established church no longer.
The third reading of the Welsh dis
establishment bill having passed the
Houuse of Commons, there is nothing
left for the peers in ihe House of
Lords to do but twirl their thumbs
and grin and bear what they cannot
prevent, for, in spite of them, the
state-supported church of little Wales
is now stripped of its prerogatives
and left to stand uupon its own feet
like the chapels of the Nonconform
ist sects.
We in America can have nothing
but sympathy for the movement to
dispossess the state church wherever
it exists, and especially where, as in
Wales, the sentiment is overwhelm
ingly against the established church.
It is alien to all our thoughts, a^id
what is more, a state—supported
church and state-supported schools
are becoming abhorrent to the peo
ple of the British isles outside of
Wales. Ireland obtained freedom
from the domination of the Anglican
church in Gladstone’s time. Wales
will soon have it, and there are cer
tain indications that England as well
is rebelling against it.
As long ago as 1906 the Liberals
were swept into power on the wave
of a Liberal and Nonconformist tide
which spelled disaster for the Estab
lished church schools. The Liberal
government was pledged to a radical
reform in the public school system,
whereby the state—aided church
schools should be superseded by non
sectarian schools. The bill effecting
that reform went through the Com
mons in short order but the lords as
quickly threw it out, thus driving an
other na.il in their own coffin, for
their rejection of the education bill
was as instrumuental in rousing the
people to a demand for the curtail
ment of their power as their throw
ing out of the Lloyd-George budget
of 1909. And now, with Welsh Dis
establishment out of the way, and
the lords’ power effectively curbed,
the Liberals may proceed once more
with that cherished program of set
ting up nonsectarian public schools,
which is but the first step in the
disestablishment of the whole church.

HO MIL ROUIE
TO VALDEZ GREEK
Miners Complain That Although Sev
enty Men In Camp No Mail Ser
vice Is Provided.
The Valdez Commercial Associa
tion is in receipt of a letter from
the Valdez Creek Placer Mines ask
ing for assistance in securing a mail
route from Paxsons to the postoffice
at McKinley, which is located about
sixty miles west of Paxsons, on the
government wagon road.
The letter states that an effort was
made last winter with the department
at Washington to have a regular sup-,
ply of mail during the summer sea
eon, the^e being jfrom seventy to
eighty men in camp during the per
iod from June 1 to September 30,
but no action has been taken by the
department.
The * Commercial Association will
take the matter up. with the Post
master General, strongly urging that
this service be provided. The mall
would connect with the summer mall,
which leaves Valdez on the first and
fifteenth of each month for Gulkana
and would be carried to Paxsons oil
the Gulkana-Dempsey route.
Trips to the Glacier.
The Ford automobile, holding four
people, will make trips to the Valdez
Glacier for $4.00 a trip. An excellent
road has been built. View the sights.

MAKE ARREST
AT WEDDING
Father, Who Had Just Given Daugh
ter Away, Is Pinched for
Embezzlement.
LOUISVILLE, I\y., July 8—During
the wedding here today of the daugh
ter of City Controller White’s daugh
ter her father was arrested by the
police and charged with having em
bezzled $14,000 from the city treas
ury.
The police made the arrest in the
crowded parlors just after the cere
mony and it caused a small panic.
The daughter threw herself into her
father’s arms and would not be com
forted, becoming hysterical and had
to be attended by a physician. The
wedding trip was postponed and the
daughter and new son-in-law will re
main with the controller to aid him
in his present troubles.
White refused to make any state
ment, but close personal friends claim
that the arrest was made by political
enemies, who wanted to get White
out of the way, and that the sup
posed shortage will soon be explained
away, as it is merely a bookkeeper's
mistake, the funds having been placed
to the credit of another account.

Colon, Panama.—That the Panama |
canal will not only be ready for com
mercial shipping in July, but so safe as
to be “fool proof” from a sailor’s point
of view, is the assurance by Captain
Ilugh Hodman, U. S. N., who will have
entire charge of all the details of put
ting shipping through.
According to Captain Hodman, the
meteorological conditions are more fa
vorable for shipping at the entrances
of the Panama canal than at almost
any other port in the world of any
thing like the importance of Colon and
Balboa. At Colon the completion of
one breakwater and the far advance of
another give a still water entrance to.
the canal. The aids to navigation
through Gatun lake have been made so
clear that, as he believes, captains will
find the passage through, day or night,
as safe and easy as a walk down
Broadway and the Culebra cut passage
as safe as any large river.
All vessels entering the canal will
have a canal pilot, who will take the
ship to an anchorage, from which she
may not move without permission of
Captain Hodman or one of his port cap
tains, conveyed officially through the
pilot.
All the officials who visit ships must
report to Captain Rodman as head of
the department of canal operation. As
soon as the quarantine officer releases
a ship one of the other canal officials
will go on board.
As soon as a ship moves toward the
canal its wireless and all signal ar
rangements will be under the imruedl

ate control of tbe canal authorities,
represented by tbe canal pilot In ad
dition to the wireless and tbe Interna
tional code signal systems each pilot
will have with him certain "shape” sig
nals. At three commanding points on
the line canal signal stations have been
provided, so that from one of them
every ship will be practically' In sight
during Its entire passage.
The engines of a ship will be turned
over to the canal authorities the mo
ment tbe vessel ties up to tbe approach
wall of the canal locks. The engines
will Immediately be locked by the ca
nal officials by means of a steel chain
and a sealing device. This lock will be
under the constant watch of a canal
guard and an engineer of the ship until
after leaving the Jocks, when its re
moval is ordered by tbe canal pilot on
board. /;
The pilots have beta selected by Cap
tain Rodman, and for three months he
has been instructing and training them.
Four of them are from tbe canals of
the great lakes, men who have had ex
perience taking tbe large ore ships
through, tbe S«nlt Ste. Marie canal.
With these will be associated a num
ber of picked men who are thoroughly
familiar with conditions at the Panama
canal.
•At the'Pacific entrance to the canal.
Captain Rodman says, ships will find
ho tide interference whatever and an
abundance of anchorage room.
When a vessel notifies tbe canal au
thorities in advance of its arrival as to
la-bat supplies are needed they will be
put on board in tbe quickest possible j
fine. ' .
