Cou1dn't believe Her own BOY

An old West of England country
woman, speaking to a district visitor of
her son who was sailor, said: "Ah,
a'am, my son that has been to the
north pole, he tells me some things that
really can't believe, though he is my
son. He tells me, ma'am, that he has
seen with his own eyes ice bugs as big
as a church" All the cleanly instincts
of the old soul were in revolt at the bare
possibility of such monstrosities

1t is unfortunate that the British
press should so soon begin to accuse
this country of ingfatitude for the aid
received during the Spanish war. We
have believed that the aid was an act
OF spontaneous friendship. unmixed
with any conditions of reciprocity. 1t
was so accepted by this country. and
this country certainly prefers to 50
cherish 1t In memory.
Real gratitude is not best demon
strated by the returning of favor re-
ceived. Its more true character rests
upon it's Willingness to grasp new OPP
portunity to confer favor which may
have no reference to. and may be
thousand fold greater than. that which
has been received. America will neither
manifest her appreciation nor prove
herself guilty Of selfishness by consent
ing or refusing to accede to compromise
or to original propositions advanced by
Great Britain in such a matter as the
Alaskan boundary.
to a third can scarcely be said to have
n bearing upon the disputes which arise
between those two countries The fact
that such disputes exist and that each
country makes a contention for the ut
most possible advantage is not evidence
that the friendship which figured in the
relation with the third country has been
disturbed. Business men remain friend
~ notwithstanding the utmost keen
ness OF competition: they even cooper
ate for the promotion OF general trade.
In exactly the same manner Great Brit
ain and the United States now consider
cooperating In the promotion OF ma
tional growth
The proposal to arbitrate the Alaskan
boundary is not in itself unacceptable
to the United States. The commission
ers have sisnified their entire willing
ness To submit the question. But previ-
Gus experience has demonstrated that
In questions OF this kind there Is much

should not be trusted To the final iadg-
ment OF single umpire. however con-
scien,ious that umpire might be. II the
issue is not so clear that a board con-
tanning equal representation from both
sides to the controversy can arrive at a
satisfactory conclusion 1t is better TO
leave the decision Of the matter either
10 further consideration or to other
method OF determination.
In the end an adjustment of the Alas
kan boundary Will be had without a
rupture OF international friendship But
Tor the sake Of that friendship Great
Britain should exhibit modest aisinter-
estedness rather than a disposition Ia
reflect our ingratitude We shall esteem
the friendship the higher on that ac-
count. and shall stand the more ready
