CANADA'S NEXT GOVERNOR t)ueen flary's Brother to Succeed the Duke of Con naught A despatch from London says : Prince Ak xamlor >f Teck, third son ol the late Uuko of Teds, is to BXI-C- k ceed the Duke of I'oiinaught as Governor-General of Canada. His Serene Highness Prince Al-ex- ander Aug-uitus l''rc-dcrick (jeorge of Tock. G.C11., <i.C.V.O., was born April 14, 1-iTl. married 1 n<>4 H<r Royal Highness PrinceM Alice of Albany, daughter of tho late Prince Leojwld, Duko of Alba-ny, youngest j-c.ii nf Queen Victoria,. Their children arc: Prinw-> Mil) Hel<?-:i Kinma, lx>rn Jan. 23, 1900. Princt; Kti]>ert Alexander George Augustus, Lorn Aug. 2-1, 1907. Prim-p .Mi'xandi-r of Teck is a brother of Queen Mary. He will take up his duties in October^ a,t the expiration of tho term of -the Duke i if CVmnaiight. The Princo is a keen soldier, but he has hod lit-tlo administrative experience. He is, however, a hard worker and a ppood organize-r. He luut done rniicK in the cause of charity, especially in behalf .f liospitalH and in the fur- therance of caJioer research. The Princess of Teck is a g:rvat favorite, and she is unaniinous.ly voted tlte prettiest and tlin leat dressed of the British Royal Prin- cesses. Prine-e Alexander, who is a major in the Second Ijife Guards, served in the Matabele hind campaign and in South Africa for two years, and to his other titles added that of tho Distinguished Service Order, which, next t<j the Victoria (,'ross, is the chief a-inbifcion of tihe military men in Great Britain. How 1'rinri-n.H of Teck Rnnks. Tho <_*xnct rank of the Princesses uf Teok is rather an interesting quc-tio-n. In England they rank in practice iinmedja,tely after the, daughters of the Duke of Fife, to wluiin tlie lato King Edward gve a (lefinit-o precedenoe immediately af- ter thoe of tho Royal Family, who bear t.he title of Royal Highness. Hut thf Teeks are merely a ducal family, although they bear the title uf Piinop. The late Duke of Teck was given th title of "Highness" by Qu^en Victoria in the jubilee jear of 1887, but apparently this title was a purely personal one and did nj-t descend to his children. The A 1 manach de Gotha the recog- nized authority on such matters- places the Princes both of Teck and Hnttenberg in it third part, along with tJe other British and foreign dukes.

It IH a great gift to be able to lft the wheut from the chaff, and It was a habit of rnlnd with (iuldwln Smith always to lot Inn mud Mettle. He wanted t ee clear ro the heart of a question after all the Irrelevuncles hiul blown away, and his was an Intellect which could pierce through clouds of rhetoric and seize up- on the one little central bit of fact or theory over which rival writers or talk- ers were beating the air. Says Mr. Ar- nold Haultaln In his book on Goldwln Smith: Numberless Instances spring to my mind of this his faculty uf seeing through layers upon luyi-rw of misty ar- gument and laying hold of the one small solid fact beneath. Thus when the whole economic: world was looking on and wondering whether New JSealand had really solved the problem of strikes by the Institution of arbitration courts which should Ilx the rates of wages. h quietly asked: "Can any Court force an employer to pay what hn can't afford to pay, or force an employee to accept a wage lower than he can obtuln else- where?" Ho with the whole question of paper money and tho right and ability of the state to manufacture dollar bills , ad libitum which once so agitated the ( western continent of America. "People . do not see," he said, "that a dollar bill ! Is not money. It Is a mere promise to pay. When it changes hands credit passes at the bank of issu.- from the giv- er to the receiver." So with tlie whole question of Socialism. "Socialists." over and over again he has said to me, "tejl us that 'the state' should be the sole owner, manufacturer, landlord and what-not. What Is 'the state'? Is i not the people themselves? 'The state' I not a person who can put his hand In his pocket and mak everybody rich." It la well perhaps now and again to recall these "small solid facts beneath" the surface of life, Th world still goes on the same old way, establishing the- ories and mistaking them for practice.

The aged Emperor Francis Josef of Austria-Hungary, eighty-four years old, may expire at any time. His pace Is nearlv run. What will happen to his conglomerate empire when he passes away has long ben an anxious query In the chancelleries of Kurope. For the conviction has always been held that the unity of the Empire hung on the Emperor's life and that when be should die It would fly apart. Oerman and Magyar. Hungarian, Slav. Croat. Pole. Itnllitn and other races make up a pop- ulation morn curiously mixed than any other In Kurope. and no two that are not racially antagonistic. Kmperor Francis Josef has been reported 111. and the cuhle may at any moment flash the news of his death. When that event oc- curs Kurope will have something to ap- prehend. Must Ll .-o Up To Standard. Henry Ford's foreign-born employees nre finding; out that when the Detroit motorcar king practically doubled their u.i... . by his profit-sharing plan he did not intend that all the extra money should go Into the saving banks. Many of these people In their native lands ex- isted in squalid hovels, bare, dirty and unwholesome. Mr. Ford has served no- tice upon them, that they must clean up their homes and live cleanly, decently and comfortably. There must be no more crowding their abodes with board- ers of their own nationalities; no more bathtubs used as duck ponds. American wages must mean American standards of living.

BILL TO ABOLISH TIPPING Senator Davis Sseks to Put End to "Demoralizing" and "Intolerable System of Petty Bribery" A despatch from Ottawa says : Tips will bo abolished within a month if Senator Davis, Prince Al- bert, and a number of othi>r Sena- to'rs and members of Parliament have their way, and it looks as if they might.
