! THE ALASKA BOUNDARY CUES
TION.
London, May 20.-The fate Of the An
glo-American-C Canadian commission In
naturally regarded here as a matter of
great importance. A dispatch from
Washington to the effect that resump-
ton of the commissions labor upon a
settlement of the Alaskan boundary
dispute has been prominently published
in this city, and a representative OF
the Associated Press made inquiries at
the centre OF the negotiations in Lon
| don. From an unimpeaohable source
he obtained the following statement:
"The thorny nature OF the Alaskan
/ question makes 1t probable that on the
resumption OF the sittings OF the COM
mission 1t will be withdrawn from dis
cussion to be taken up later should
circumstances be favorable The Alas
kan question, in fact, has practically
| been dropped out OF the discussions and
the statement that it's discussion and
settlement will be made the sine qua
non OF the resumption Of the sittings
Of the commission is Inaccurate"
| The representative of the Associated
Press was assured that the matter has
| been discussed in the most conciliatory
spirit on both sides.
| The newspapers here express regret
| at thu fact that the Alaskan dispute
| has grown acute at time when the
relations between the two countries are
So cordial, and the news that the con-
ference will probably be resumed in
the autumn has given satisfaction.

A Sheriff Liable TO Heirs OF Persons
Lyuehcd
Chicago Record.)


The opinion rendered at Indianapolis
by Judge John II. Baker OF the United
States district court ought to have an
important influence in preventing
lynchings. The case under considera-
ton was that Of the heirs OF Marion
Tyler against a county sheriff. Tyler
was lynched at Scottsburg several
months ago. and the sheriff allowed his
prisoner TO be taken from his custody
by the mob. The language of the
Judge in holding the official TO be re-
sponsible for prisoners in his charge
was very pointed He said:
IF the law imposes duty of care
in respect to animals and goods which
he has taken into his possession by
virtue of his Office why should not the
1ay impose the duty of care upon him
in respect TO human beings who are
In his custody by virtue of his office?
Is a helpless prisoner, in the custody
of sheriff, less entitled to his care
than bale Of goods or a dumb beast?
The Law 10 not subject to any such re-
proach."
In several states attempts have been
made TO have laws PASSED making
counties liable for damages to the
heirs Of any persons lynched within
their boundaries. The opinion Of Judge
Baker, making sheriffs responsible for
the safety of prisoners in their Gus
tody, is likely to be just as effective
in preventing lynchings. In most
cases Of lynching of prisoners the ON
GERS having custody Of the victims do
not use the utmost vigilance In keen
ing their captives from the mob. Let
the sheriff feel that he must pay for
the lives Of any prisoners taken from
him by mobs and lynched and he WIFI
see that the mohs are thwarted in their
savage desires.

NEW INTEREST IN ROAD BUILD
ING.
Nothing has added so much to Iowa
cities in recent years as paved streets;
nothing will add so much to the coun-
try districts as good roads. When all
the people realize this fact there will
be more general movement for better

ito interest farmers in this subject. 1t
was attended by a large number of far
mers of southeastern Iowa. The Hawk
eye reports that 1.-The deep interest they
displayed in the addresses and in the
practical demonstration of good road
making shows how alive they are to the
great need and how eager to accept any
new suggestion that will better their
condition. The organization of good
roads associations in each county in the
first district was a marked and distinct
advance for the better, and foretells
active work along the lines SO clearly
demonstrated yesterday"
In another place in the T.-R. is given
an address by government expert at
the Burlington convention. He out
lines the purpose of the government in
this work. 1t is merely to aid by throw
ing all the light on road making that
it is possible to obtain, and to lead
counties or states that have determined
to improve roads into the best meth
DDS for improving such highways. 1t is
laudabe purpose and in time will
produce good results.

There is a curious connection between
the English royal family and the figure
81. The queen, like the prince consort,
was born in 1919. She was 19 years of
age when she ascended the throne in
1897, the figures OF which year when
added together, again give 10. OF her
children four are known by titles, each
of which contains nine letters, and the
prince of Wales married Princess Alex
andra. whose name also contains nine
letters. The prince was born Nov. 3
and was married in 1863, which again
gives two 9s. A similar association
with the same figure runs through the
life of the German emperor.
England is in the American markets

The columns of the democratic press

anti-war arguments, but has any one
seen any suggestion as to a better
method to pursue? Has any anti plan
to propose that will get US out of our
difficulty with justice TO all ana honor
to ourselves? Or are they just kicking
because being in political campaign
they feel that they ought to oppose
something?
