THAT BOUNDARY DISPUTE,

When The SittIngs of the Joint high
commission of the United States and
Canada were suspended, owing to the
apparent inability of the commission.
ers to reach an agreement on the
boundary question. Canada seemed t.
think that a plausible plan would be
to refer the subject upon which agree.
ment was impossible to arbitration.
lnaSmuch as the people Of this coun.
t'y are strongly in favor OF arbitra.
ton AS IA mean Of settling interna.
tional disputes, the Canadian states.
men probably supposed that we would
find it difficult to refuse a demand of
this nature. But since this particu.
lar question is distinctly one OF those
that do not properly belong to the
class for which arbitration is a suit.
able and proper solution. the United
states government, naturally, does
not intend to permit Canada such an
opportunity As it desires.
When the United States took the
territory known as Alaska all the
rights Of Russia came with that fer.
rltory. Canada made no claim to the
boundary which it now marks out.
The United States has held ,undis.
turbed possession for more than thirty
years. That would constitute a good
title in England. even were there no
other. If Canadian subject de.
manded possession Of Il piece OF land
in England from .one who had had

owner would merely show that he

#DREYFUS INNOCENT,

The eye OF the civilized world, il,
today, watching France as to its
military dealing in the Dreyfus case.
And it is this watchrullness and
power that will stay the unjust hand
of the army and give to Dreyfus, the
exile, the justice he SO rightly de-
serves. The evidence which sent
this innocent Jew into exile was a
document he did not write and re.
ferred to another man. The ma
whose miserable pen scratched those
lines Is. no doubt, today standing on
the shores of the river Styx awaiting
the awful plunge. The blind. heed
less prejudice OF France has done
more to block the wheels Of justice
than the officers of the court. Years
ago this case would have been re-
versed but from the fear Of the popu-
lace. whose violence. boots and cries
made the court shrink back from
speaking It's honest opinion on the
case, Bnt the facts being brought to
light OF day. the reign of self murder
which has taken hold of the officers.
WHO had the most to do in bringing
about the ruuVi,il1u ,f this Iauicb
officer. has brought the French to their
senses, and believe the turning point
was at last reached when the presi.
dent of the civil section of the Court
" Cessation made their report asking
TOR It's reopcning. Whether this
court accepts and acts on the rec.
concentration Of the president, the
nations of the world are b~reatblessly
waiting to zee, and should tlIev re.
fuse to bring Dreyfus back for a new
trial. we believe the powers will take
II up ana demand that it be done.
The world believes in his innocence.
and the eye of France Is detectinu
1t. We believe Dreyfus Is innocent
ana We hope his life will be shared
MN I" prove it. The least France
can do today to save its " honor is

A REMARKABLE DOCUMENT.

The most remarkable document We
have c lately Wa the Rolling Fork
democratic convention held On the
23rd, not because IL was an endorse
ment Of Gov. McLaurin's administers
ton or the administration Of any
OF her person or thing, but because it
contained 50 very much to have
50 little in IT,. 1t resolved that the
democracy Of Sharkey county endorse
A. }. McLaurin because he appointed
a leyee board sin the interest Of the
people" and not in the interest of
powerful corporations and their sal
aricd attorneys, This is an admitted
fact that during the entire admins
tration Of the governor he has once
done the right thing, also leaving
the impression that it is the first
time.
The resolutions 20 on to state that
1--WE condemn the effort Of any man
to Il into Office by abuse and viliti.
cation Of his opponent" without
stating that anybody hadIever made
such an effort unless the gentleman is
Mr.. McLaurin himself who abused
and vilitied both Smith and Scott.
1--WE commend Hon. William J..
Bryan for the splendid fight he is
making against the trusts and ON
bineS, forgetting or not knowing or
not caring that Bryant has recently
taken into his confidence and trust IA
maj who married "A divorced wife of
II of the Nanderbilts with an an
nual alimOny income of $lJO.O 900 and
at the head Of M Of the most grind
ing monopolieS and combines that
ever disgraced Il civilized country.
Mr.. Belmont is worth millions and
yet by personal solicitation he is
Rryan's right hand man in ''tigliting
trusts and combines"
If the Rolling Fork convention had
come out in plain English and en-
dorsed the governors administration
without making excuse and appear
ing sorry for it, all would have been
well, but it told a half truth and
then made an excuse for telling it.

AgulnaIdo the rIan.

In his features, face, and skull
Aguinaldo looks more like Euro
pean than a Malay. He is what
would be called handsome man,
and might be compared with many
young men in the province ofAnda-
lusia, Spain. If there be truth in
phrenology he is man above the
common. The zone of the skull,
which indicates mentality, is well
developed for an European-ab-
normally large for Malay. The
moral zone is of medium develop
ment, and the animal or cerebellar
zone is comparatively small, with
the exception of the reach over the
ears, indicating destructiveness and
cruelty.
The phrenologist would be borne
out by the consensus of those who
know him. Friends and enemies
agree that he is intelligent, ambi-
tious, far-sighted, brave, self-con-
trolled, honest, moral, vindictive,
and at times cruel. He possesses
the quality which friends calls wis
dom and enemies call craft. Ac-
cording to those who like him he is
courteous, polished, thoughtful, and
dignifed; according to those who
dislike him he is insincere, preten-
tious, vain, and arrogant. Both
admit him to be genial, generous,
selt-sacri6cing, popular, and cap
able in the administration of affairs.
If the opinion of his foes be accepted
he is one of the greatest Malays on
the page of history. If the opinion
of his friends be taken as the cri-
terion he is one of the great men of
history irrespective of race.-Re-
view of Reviews.

Editor LEADER:
Will you please be so kind
as to allow me space in your valu-
able paper to say a few more words
concerning that all-absorbing dog
killing question.
While 1 have nothing 10 say
against any law-abiding citizen
that signed his name to the trespass
notice that recently appeared in the
LEADER, and, while I freely admit
that every citizen has right to
protect himself in reasonable and
lawful way against hunters that
may trespass by hunting upon his
land, yet, 1 cannot see how person
can be justified, either by civil law
or moral law, in deliberately shoot
ing down innocent dogs that may
accidentally drive a deer to the
river. The parties that recently
shot and crippled dogs near Chit
wood are now trying to pose before
the public as humane and law
abiding citizens that have been i'm
posed upon, when the truth of the
matter is that they have been
guilty of abusing dumb brutes, and
also tried to sneak away with the
venisop that the dogs had brought
in. They are now trying to worm
themselves into respectability by
associating themselves with the
respectable citizens of Chitwood and
trying to make good impression
upon the public by having a tres
pass notice published and signed by
said respectable citizens. Would
it not be well for parties that are
talking of enforcing the law to be
sure that they have never violated
the law themselves? If there is
one case ever brought up before the
law, then, it is probable that there
will be many others follow closely
upon its heels. People living ir
glass houses should not throw
stones. Would it not also be wei
Tor certain parties living in the
Christian community of Chitwood
and that pretends to take the "good
book" for their guide 10 remember
that passage of Scripture that says:
First cast out the beam out OF
thine own eye and then shalt thou
see clearly to cast out the mote out
of thy neighbours eyer"
