THE EAST AGAINST THE WEST.

Senator John Sherman has reached
that stage of his life where he has laid
away his political ambitions and aspira-
lions and can fearlessly speak on IN
pleasant subjects.
In a recent interview he said that
when it came to the money question
the east would be found against the
west, irrespective Of party.
Sherman is in a position to speak
with authority, as he has for many
years been the trusted representative
of the Wall Street money kings and
their brethren across the sea.
The east is the creditor and the west
the debtor portion of the United States,
and, unpleasant as it may sound, it is
but natural that on an issue so vitality
important to each as is the financial
question these to sections of the coun-
try should be found opposing each
other.
The west, as the producer and the
debtor, wants dollar that is equitable,
and in which its products can be fairly
measured; the east, as the consumer
and creditor, desires dollar abnormal
ly dear. The equitable dollar would
increase the value of the western prod
ucts and lower the rate of interest on
its indebtedness. The dear dollar low
ers the price Of western products and
increases the interest rate and the val
ue of eastern holdings.
The very fact that the east is unit
on the money question, irrespective of
political faith, should cause the west
to do a little serious thinking, and, if
necessary, a new Mason and Dixon's
line should be created, running north
and south, instead of east and west as
of yore.
The east has rights that must be re-
spected, but it should not be forgotten
that the west, also, has interests that
should not be trampled upon by the
money lords of the Atlantic states.

oLD-TlMERAlLRoADlNeM METHODS.
Some of Those OF the Early Days Were
R5Hfeuroua


Some of Those OF the Early Days Were
Ridiculous.
In comparing FailrOading methods Of
to-day with those of fifty years ego,
some of the precautions Of that time
appear ridiculous. Everybody was
against them-the clergy and the lay
men, the nobility and the people; every
body was afraid of great castrOphes.
The doors Of the railroad cars had to be
locked, so that the passengers would
not jump out at the first unusual noise.
Various propositions were made TO
make railrOading less dangerous. Some
body suggested that the locomotive
should be attached to the train by
long chain. Colonel LecOunt proposed
to have a Waterman on top Of the loco
motive to look out for the signals and
the condition Of the rOadbed. Every
quarter of a mile watchmen, with a sig
nal flag, we're stationed aud this human
chain did the service Of q telegraph
system.
While many seEssless precautions
we're taken, gross eaFelsssness ruled
in most simple matters. For instance,
long trains we're formed, being pulled
and pushed by three, four and even six
locomotives. Such train with thirty
cars and I've locomotives went ahead
on full steam and in case of danger
there we're but three handbrakes on the
entire train. It must not be believed,
however, that the rapidly Of trains
then was so very limited. Shortly be
fore the railroad from L.ondon TO
Greenwich was opened for general
traffic a special train Of seven cars,
crowded with ladies and gentlemen,
covered the entire distance at the Fess
81 Sc miles an hour. There sIe e0un-
where sHch 4 speed on The railroad has
not been developed % 70 date.

region, while she has surveying party
in The same business.
Whatever her engineer may report,
and whatever any engineers may re-
port, the way to deal with this question
lis for the president to inform Great
Britain that if there is to be any re-
mOVal Of any boundary lines between
American and British territory at the
northwest, We may decide TO re-estsb-
lish the boundary which existed prior
to 1916 when Mr.. Folks administration,
under duress, surrendered British Col
umbia-then a portion of our own
Oregon territory-to Great Britain, as
the price she extorted from the United
States for non-interference with Us in
our war with Mexico.
If this should be deemed unneces-
sarily harsh as a first presentation Of
the case of the United States, it might
be modified so as to say that the pres
ent boundary, aoquiesced in by Great
Britain for twentV-seven years, shall
not be disturbed, and that we will not
admit to discussion any question Of the
slightest alteration thereof.
We trust this matter will receive
proper attention at the hands of con-
gress. We do not believe there is a
public man in the United States who
would, for a single instant, consent to
any discussion whatever of this in
solent pretense of British right to ter
ritory of the United States.

festive features are concerned. The

TWO eREAT Rival ARMIES.

Tremendous Sacrifices Made by Germany
and France.
The knowledge that France would fly
at Germans throat as soon as it seemed
safe to do so has been a permanent fac
tor in all international bargainings and
controversies; the terror that some uB-
toward accident might pre3ipitste the
slways-threatened conflict, even against
the desires and best judgment of the
combatants, has never ceased to haunt
the imaginatiOns of men.
If this prolonged anxiety has strain
ed the nerves Of Onlookers, what must
have been the tension upon the people
directly concerned Statistics afford
some slight conception Of the material
burdens which they have been forced
to bear. When the war ended, for In
stance, the Germans had $4,000 troops
of all arms on French territory.
To-day the peace footing Of the regu-
lar French army withoutCountinggsnd-
armerie or any reserves, actually ex-
Ceeds by 10000 the total muster Of Ger
mans at the time Of their triumph.
The present standing army Of the Ger
man empire, being formed on the thso-
~ Of a defensive force, is a trifie small
or. 1t has only 5S4,OOO men under arms.
These figures are too Vsss 10 convey
realities to the mind. The.fsct may be
made little clearer by saying that tbs
French and German peoples together
have now some 10000 more profession
al fighting men ia active service than
they found it necessary to maintain be-
fore the war of 1870. Yet this. too, fails
TO give an adequate idea Of the tire
mendous sacrifices which both nations
have been compelled TO make, year
after your, throughout this weary quar-
ter Of a century.

THE AMERICAN THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving is purely an American
holiday, original in conception and
growing from small beginning until
1t has reached the dignity of national
event. Its first celebration was by the
Plymouth colony in 1621-thOse sturdy
pioneers whose piety was as pronoun-
ced as their pluck, who hon0red them
selves by honoring their Diety The
custom soon become more general,
spreading over all the New England
states. After the revolution it gradu-
ally extended to the middle states and
later to the west, growing more slowly
in the south. In 1863 Lincoln forever
established it in the list of holidays by
prOclaiming day of thanksgiving, his
action being promptly followed By the
individual proclamation of the COVER
nors Of the states, who named the same
day. Since then, by common consent,
the first announcement of the day is
found in the presidents proclamation,
and the day so named is also named by
the states.
In many ways Thanksgiving is one Of
our most delightful events. It comes
at time when the rigors Of winter are
not get at hand. We have at our dis
pOsal eli the varied products of the
soil, and the time for a season Of par
tiaI rest for the farmer is at hand. One
Of the most delightful features, which
has become quite general, is the gather
ing together under the old rooftree of
all she scattered sons and daughters
GA this day. Two, three and sometimes
four generations thus meet around the
festive and hcspitable table Of the old
homestead. and thus ffaternal ties are
strengthened and iilial piety encour-
aged.
Another and not less eommendable
feature Of this holiday is a practical

ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE.

ALBANIAN 5UUHUAhI DISPUTE,
Great Britain manifests a disposition
to move the boundary between AIanka
and British Columbia to the westward,
for the purposes of taking in the newly
discovered gold region in Alaska. To
accomplish this it will only be neces-
sary for her to satisfy the United States
government that the northwestern coast
of this continet does not refer to the
continental coast at all, but to the
western coast of the islands adjacent to
the continent; and further, to show
that the Portland channel is not the
Portland channel at all, but that an
other channel to the westward is the
Portland channel.
In 1926 a treaty was made between
Great Britain and Russia in which the
boundary line of Russia was arranged
and established to the satisfaction of
those two nations. This was in disre-
gard of the trifing fact that Great
Britain at that time made no claim
herself to the exclusive right to a
single foot of the territory west Of the
Rocky mountains. This fact was stated
by Messrs. Huskisson and Addison as
late as 1897, in their negotiations with
this government concerning the north
western boundary question.
In 1867 Russia coded all her possess
sions in North America to the United
States, and, in describing the territory
so conveyed, the description of the line
of demarkation between the Russian
and British possessions was copied
from the treaty between Russia and
Great Britain.
1t follows that whatever Great Brit
ain acknowledged in 1926 as belonging
to Russia she cannot now escape from
acknowledging as belonging to the
United States. That boundary con-
sisted of the Portland channel to the
fifty sixth degree of north latitude, and
thence following the summit of the
mountains to the one hundred and
forty first meridian of west longitude,
and thence north to the Arctic ocean.
But it was provided that whenever the
mountain summit shall be more than
ten marine leagues from the coast then
there shall be substituted as the boun-
Diary line "a line parallel to the wind
ing of the coast and which shall never
exceed the distance of ten marine
leagues therefrom."
For twenty-seven years this boun-
dairy, fixed by treaty, has been fully re-
cOgnized by Great Britain. Her maps
and those of the United States have
shown the same boundary line. Stimuli
taneously with the recent discovery Of
gold fields within the United States
territory of Alaska the British govern
ment has made the discovery that We
ought to move our boundary line, so
that it viii run along a line parallel
TO the windings of the outside coast Of
the islands, and that we must also agree
that the Portland channel, mentioned
in the treaty between Russia and Great
Britain in 1926, and which has always
been Portland channel, is no longer
Portland channel, and never was Port
land channel, and that the channel IN
tended is one Of another name. and
which could not by any possibility be
made to harmonic with the text Of the
treats. By some characteristic mana
cement she seems to bsEe inyeigled cur
government into the appropriation of
money for some new survey in that
