If it is true that Mir Edward Gu dahy, of Omaha really paid $25,OOO to
 a trio of kidnapers for TRADING the return of his son,
 WITH he has probably done KIDNAPERS. about what the av-
 craze man of means would do under the same circumstan- ces. Where ones own flesh and blool is in jeopardy there is apt to be little consideration for ones obligations tO the community. But it is nevertheless a fact that meeting 'the demands of those who kidnap children and hold them for ransom is likely to stimulate the kidnapping business. While 1t would take a spartan indeed to risk the hfa and welfarc of a son Tor the com mon good, the Cudahy precedent Is dangerous one.
 But having secured the freedom of his son MT Cudany has done the best thing possible to secure rhe capture of the criminals by offering a big reward for their apprehension and conviction A man who can easily afford to pay a S25.000 ransom for a son can also a. ford to pay handsomely for the pur- ishment of those who have victimized him. It would be entirely consistent and laudable for others who can afford to contribute to such fund, and who might be possible victims of a similar plot, to help along such an investiga- tion. Big rewards do not always bring arrests and convictions. They have been known to involve the innocent, but Nhis miscarriage is more often found where political bias furnishes stimulation to the movement, as ill certain recent cases in Kentucky.
 The kidnaper is little better than q murderer. For a time he brings aa agony of suspense that in some of it's aspects surpasses the pain of realizing the worst. If it is possible, through the liberal expenditure of money, to brin5 ls class of offenders to their just de, serts, the offering of big rewards IS to be commended.

An Ottaw2 dispatch founded on good authority says that negotiations
 with respect to the
 THE Alaskan boundary have ALASKAN recommended between BOUNDARY. our state department
 and the British gov ernment, and that an active inter change of diplomatic notes is now in progress. This clears the way for re- opening of the joint high commission, and makes bright the prospect Of set ting theriby a number of vexed ques- tions to which the solution of the Alaskan difficulty had been a condi- ton precedent. It would go far, too, to dispose of the contention of some British newspapers that England in- tended to propose concessions with regard to thu boundary as a quid pro quo for abrogation of the Clayton BuIwer treaty, in case the 1ay-Paunce- fote treaty is withdrawn. England has been willing all along to settle the boundary Independently of Other Canadian questions, or prefers, rather, to consider it an imperial question which undue emphasis by Canadian in- reference may make dangerous, and which it is, therefore, best to treat in a large spirit with regard to the wei fare of the whole empire.
