Jurist Better Than Soldier.

From the Dallas News.
When arbitration shall have become the
accepted method of settling differences
and when nations no longer dwell in con-
stant fear of war governments will cease
to load upon peoples excessive burdens
which the policy of militarism makes nee
essary. Costly armam~nts and vast num-
berS of soldiers withheld from participa-
tion in productive enterprises will be dis
persed with. because they will no longer
be needed. This argument is irresistible.
The work of the peace congress is de-
signed to prove effective in so far as it
tends to remove the scare which has
been held over the people of Europe dur
ing all the weary centuries In providing
a peaceable means of settling differences
need and excuse for great standing ar
mics. In making provision for a perma-
nent tribunal of arbitration the seed has
been sown that in time will surely de-
velop into a splendid flower Of civilza-
lion and will make possible the wedding
out of the noxious grOwths of militarism.
When the world has more experience with
the jurSt as an arbiter of international
disputes it will unquestionably prefer him
to the soldier. The cool man is better
than the crazy man. The arbitration
agreement must now be approved by all
governments that desire to become par
ties to it. 1t will prove to be means
leading not only to disarmament, but to
safer and better social conditions through
out the world.

FROM the Atlanta constitution.
strike or a lockout is invariably the
consequence of the refusal of one faction
OF the other to retreat from an unreason-
able position or to accede to a rational
demand Sometimes it is a question of
hours, more frequently one of wages. and
when the conflicting parties attempt to
deal directly with each other fatal fric-
ton is certain to result. The capitalist
thinks the laborer is extortionate and il
logical and the latter cannot be con-
virced that the man who holds the whip
hand is not unjust and tyranncal. Thus
a deadlock is created. one which the ut
most endeavor of either side will not
break and which frequently grows more
hcpeiessly muddled from efforts in that
direction.
1t is here, then. that the services of the
arbiter are used advisedly. The third par
ty to the controversy must be a man, or
board of men, who are thoroughly famil-
lar with both sides of the discussion. They
must be able to appreciate the actual con-
dition of the capitalist and at the same
time hold out stoutly for the rights of the
weaker faction. They must pander to
neither and labor only for the combined
good of both. 1t is in the failure to find
arbiters thus qualified that we must look
for the reason of the collapse of plans
in this direction heretofore and in the flu
ture,

The board of education held its regu-

a lot of routine business. The first
step towards complying with the re-
quest of the womens clubs of Butte
to tint the walls of the school rooms
was taken. 1t was agreed to notify the
ladies that the building and High

clerk was instructed to address the
council with reference to the matter
of instituting condemnation proceed

site of the new Aluminium street school
building.
There was split in the insurance
committee. Mr.. Moulthrop reported
upon the matter of the distribution of
the insurance. Messrs. Clinton and Nc
Donald favored a more equita BILE and
impartial distribution. The report
shows an increase in insurance of near
ly $4,000. Mr. Clinton stated that
certain agency in this city had been en-
joying the benefits of the districts in
surance to an extent greater than any
other one agency, and he favored
throwing the business over to some of
the others for while. Mr.. Moulthrop
read the list, which showed a variation
in comparison of from $1,000 to s25, 900
among the several agencies. Mr.. McC.
White moved for the adoption of the
minority report and Mr.. Lane second
ed. A lively debate ensued, in which
the merits of the several insurance
companies were gone into. The minor

whether in Georgia or LuZon, is charac
teristic of the whole Eng1sh-speaking
race. While the British government is
making such an ado over the political de-
mar DIS of the gold seekers in the Trans
vaal. it seems that in the British colony
of Natal near by, a great number Of Hin
dus are treated as if they had no rights
at all. Fifty thousand Indians from Hin
dustan helped to colonize Natal, and to-
day. with their descendants, they outnum-
ber the colonistS of European descent.
Tho young men of Hindu parentage have
in many cases become English-speaking
Afrikanders and possessed of some edu-
cation, yet they are denied all political
rights. The Natal legislature has lately
refused to appropriate small sum for
the education of the Hindu population on
the ground that they might become COM
petitors of the European children in the
higher walks of business and politics.
In short, the color prejudice is very
strong in Natal, although the Hindus are
only brown men. But the time has come
when all races not white. whether black
or brown. are called 'niggers" and the
color line follows the parallels of latitude
around the world.

A meeting of the police committee Of
the city council will be held at o'clock
this afternoon, when, II is expected,
there will be some warmth arising from
the suspension of officer Mike Torpey.
1t is expected that Mr.. Torpey will ap
pear before the committee with refer
ence to his suspension, and may make
some charges against Chief of Police

switched on officer Torpey without his
sanction or consent and he cid not
approve of the change. He was not
found on his beat and was Suspended
under the chiefs orders. The matter
is not before the committee as We. If
any legal way, but there is an expecta-
ton that the trouble will receive some
ventilation this afternoon. Mayor Nc
Carthy, however, stated yesterday that
he had not heard that there was to be
any further ventilation of the matter
On the contrary, he understood that

hurled his resignation in the teeth of

that Chief Lavell would to-day order
officer Torpey to return % WORK, and
in case of his refusal, will proceed to
fill the vacancy.

Great Britain's Claims in the Alaskan
Boundary Dispute,

Boundary Dispute.
From the Review of Reviews.
The British contention is:
First. That the pass called the Port
land channel did not mean what is
now called Portland canal, but what
is now known as Benin canal which
they claim was formerly called Port
land channel.
Second. That though the Russians
ran the line a uniform ten marine
leagues from the coast as though there
were no distinct range of mountains
parallel to the coast, there is, as a fact
a range of mountains parallel to the
coast the crest of which should have
been followed.
Third. That in case there We're no
range of mountains the ten marine
leagues should have been measured not
from the line of salt water, but from
the outer coast line of the islands or
from the ocean, that being meant as
the coast.
Fourth. That even If there were no
distinct range of mountains and the
line was accepted as ten marine leagues
from the coast, it should be ten lagues
from meandered coast line and should
cut across the mouths of the narrow
channels and inlets with which the
coast of Alaska is indented, leaving
the harbors at the head of these inlets
IN the possession OF Great Britain. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, premier of Canada,
stated in the Canadian parliament in
reply to question relative to the Alas
kan boundary: According to our
construction of the treaty of 1925, the
boundary line should follow the crest
of the mountains nearest the coast,
passing over bays and creeks and in
lets which are territorial waters
After making all these contentious, it
is reported that Great Britain took the
position before the commission that
while she was by right entitled to all
tions of the treaty would give her, she
a compromise receive just one harbor
the best one on the Alaskan coast
And the refusal of the commissioners
on behalf of the United States to ac-
cede to their request caused a suspen-
sion of negotiations on the part of the
commission.
1t has been said that Great Britain's
policy in international disputes is to
claim everything in sight and then
have a margin upon which to make
concessions when effecting a compro-
mise. In the Alaskan boundary dis
pute her claims are without founda-
ton, and the concessions she offers
should not be considered, as they rep

on a Charge of Burglary.
TO BE TRIED TOMORROW
The Case OF Mr. Pluver Dism' ssed - Con
Murphy, on the Advice Of His Law
yer, Gives Himself Up and
Is Arraigned

Complaints charging burglary were
filed yesterday in Justice Nichols court
against Vincent Rooney, Harry Perkins
and Joseph Holman, the three young
men arrested late Sunday night by Cap
tain of Police Lyden and Acting Ser
geant Walsh while in the act of get
ting away with a quantity of provisions
stolen from ]. S. Carrolls store, in
West Park street, for supplies for
camping trip.
Rooney and Holman gave assumed
names when arrested, and their true
Identity was not known till the filing
OF the complaint. The defendants were
arraigned and held in $3.50 bonds each
for appearance for hearing Thursday.
Rooney and Holman procured bonds,
but Perkins was unable to do SO and
was committed.
The charge of resisting an officer in
the discharge of his duty against r.
Pluver, one of the men who were pres
ent in Con Murphys saloon a few days
ago, during the rumpus for participant
ing in which w. E. Johns was fined
$500. was dismissed yesterday on the
motion Of the county attorney 1t APP
pea~ed that Pluver was merely in the
saloon and did not take part in the
resistance, hence the dismissal of the
case.
Con Murphy, the proprietor of the
saloon, who has been missing since the
affair, gave himself up yesterday, on
the advice of his lawyer. He is charged
with two offenses, one of malicious
mischief and anothr of exhibiting a
deadly weapon. He was arraigned on
the first charge and had his hearing
set for to-day. He could not give bail
and was committed.
Butcher ]. L. Kreig, who was a few
days ago convicted in Justice Harring-
tons court of giving short weights and
fined $3.50, will be required to stand trial
on another charge of giving short
weights. Yesterday a second case
which had been begun in Justice Har-
ringtons court was transferred to the
court of Justice Nichols on a change
of venue granted by Justice Harring-
ton. In the present complaint Kreig
is charged with giving short weights on
Aug. 8 by selling beef steak to the
Maggie sisters, which was charged up
as six and one-third pounds when in
reality the meat weighed five and one
half pounds. The date of hearing the
