way of going from the stump to the

both places are the same. Mr.. Wana-

Philadelphia. The employees in his

paid as much attention to politics as

the competitive system, hut. like the
members OF the legislature out west
who voted for the prohibition law. they
objected to its enforcement, because
the successful competitor was not q
New York man, and they are believers
in the doctrine Of home rule. Senator
Plat declared that the people of New
York would not permit an architect
from outside of that state to design the
building, or any one but New York
contractor to construct 1t, but Secre-
tary Gage informed him that the plans
would be drawn by the architect who
was successful in the competition and
that the construction contract would
be let to the lowest bidder, without ask
ing any questions as to residence.
Several important changes have been
made in the method of awarding the
prize in the Cleveland and Baltimore
contests, which are the result of ex-
perience in the New York case. The
jury will consist OF five instead of three
persons, and only ten instead of twenty
architects will be invited to compete.
The unsuccessful competitors will each
be paid $1,000 for their time and trou-
bic in preparing plans, and their com
pensation will be deducted from the 5
per cent commission of the successful
architect

hazards should be reduced and the
game made less dangerous by eliminate
ing the rougher plays. Let the reform
begin at once and by the players them
selves. 1t would be much better for
those who play the game to reform its
rules and it would be AN act of wisdom
for them to do it, for if they don't they
are likely to see their friends the enemy

WEALTH IN THE GREAT LAKES.

The great lakes that border the north
ern part of the eastern section of our
nation have become the great artery
of our richest commercial blood. A
writer in Ainslee's Magazine declares
that one third of the population of the
United States is dependent on these
lakes for their export and import trade.
This waterway taps the richest and
most prosperous agricultural territory
on this continent of ours, together with
our most productive mines, and it is
worth while noting that within radius
of 400 miles of Cleveland lies one-half
the population of the United States. II
is we'll established fact that deep
water transportation is, and necessarily
must be, far below the cost of transport
tation by rail; indeed. it is computed
that the cost of water transportation by
steam, when the voyage is of amy con-
siderable length, is about one-quarter
the average cost of transportation by

eighth OF the latter. AS this question
of transportation determines to great
extent the existence or non-existence
of possible industry and enhances or
diminishes the value of every article of
export in proportion TO its efficiency and
economy, the battle cry OF the west for
twenty feet of water between Duluth
and the sea is no great problem 10 ae-
count for. In the year 1898 there passed
through the Sault Ste. Marie canal no
less than 21,254,664 tons of Canadian
freight, alone having a value of 5000
100000, while American ships moved
some les, 100000 tons through the same
waters for the same length of time, OF
value many times greater than the
figures first given. The total traffic
through the locks Of this 500 canal
Tor less than eight months, is five times
is great in number OF vessels and
lightly less than twice as much in ac-
.ual tonnage as passes through the
suez canal during an entire year. 1t
will be readily seen that the nation can
afford to foster and encourage lake

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
fCleyaland plain Daalar

In the National Geographic Magazine
for November, issued by the National
Geographic Society, Hon John w. Fos-
ter prints at length what may be con-
sidered the brief for the United States
in the controversy regarding the
Alaskan boundary 1t seems impos
sible, after reading the historic facts
presented in that article, to question for
a moment the validity of the United
States claim to all the territory within
the limits marked on the map by a
line extending back ten marine leagues
from the coast of the mainland.
MIR. Foster narrates the whole story
of the original controversy between
Great Britain and Russia. citing the
claims and counter-claims and the
propositions made and rejected on
either side which led up to the final
settlement in the treaty of 1925. 1t is
shown that the principal aim of the
British at one time was to prevent the
Russians going back as far as the
Rocky Mountains. and to prevent that
the British government was prepared to
concede line running back 100 miles
from the Pacific coast. Afterward this
proposed concession was reduced to ten
marine leagues and on that proposition
the final agreement was made.
Eleven maps accompany the paper,
reproductions of Russian and British
official maps, issued after the conclu-
sion OF the treaty, and other maps of
recognized authority before and after
the transfer of the Russian territory
to the United States. In all of these
maps the boundary line is that of the
present United States claim, in every
instance going around the head of the
Lynn canal and making the boundary
on the crest of the mountain chain back
of the highest point of that inlet.
In the light of the evidence contained
in the paper, the proposition of the
Canadian government that the dispute
be settled by arbitration after Canada
has been given possession of Pyramid
harbor, Well down the Lynn canal. is
lgrotesquely impudent.
