THeLsDesR IS RIGHT

No Philadelphia newspaper has been
more consistent and truthful in its
dealings with Delaware politics than
the Public Ledger When it SAYS that
apart from the national ticket the
ruling issue in the last campaign was
whether or not AddiclSs should be given
control OF the legislature II speaks
the bold bald truth.
The Public Ledger is a Republican
newspaper, and it stands for decent
Republleanism. It IS opposed to Ad-
dicks because It knows that he is an
unprinclDled and unscrupulous man
who IS not a Republican, and who
stands for no Republican principle.
In al the negotiations which took
place between the Republicans and
Union Republicans looking to the hold
ing OF common primaries and the
forming Of single tickets, special res
ervations were made at all times that
no word or act should be construed To
bind Republican members Of the Ieeis-
lature to vote for Addlcks. With that
explicit understanding the election
was held. It was recognition OF that
understanding which impelled Addicks
leaders to visit Republican legislative
candidates between the primaries and
the general election and threaten to
knife them at the polls and defeat
them and elect their Democratic oppo.
nents If they would not pledge them
selves to go into an Addicks caucus
and vote for Addicks for United States
senator. It was recognition Of this un-
derstanding which impelled them Il
use tne knife. and special efforts wer.
made to defeat President pro TEN o.

Il Is n pleasure 10 note that the good
roads advocates have decided to place
their bin in the hands Of such an ae-
tive and energetic member of the
House as Representative Finn. In
their State platforms all parties
pledged themselves to favor legislation
for good roads. Let the trainers OF
bills on that subject be guided by
common sense, and not elaborate a
scheme so expensive that it will kill
itself The proposition is simple
one and should be dealt with accord
ingly. Our roads as they exist at pres
ent are a disgrace to the common
wealth and the money spent on them
gives no degree of permanency to the
Improvement The simple question to
decide Is what material shall be spread
over the dirt and how when and where
Il shall be done. Our roadmenders
have been rounding up dirt for more
than century. and they will be round
ing it up for a century to come unless
something is done

CHINESE QUESTION HANGS FIRE

The various interviewsof the Ameri-
can ambassadors with foreign govern
'ments have not yet brought about any
determination as to the proposed
transfer Of Chinese negotiations to q
point outside Pekin, and it is probable
that some days will elapse before the
ambassadors viii be able to advise the
American State Department definitely
as to the attitude OF the several Pow
ers.
The Chinese emperor it Is said, has
decided TO return to PelSin to admins
ter the reformed government, and the
empress dowager offers no opposition.
The Russians in the province OF Chi
Ii have distributed to native Chinese
10000 rations Of rice in behalf Of EN-
peror Nicholas.
The recruits OF the German ironclad
division i'm Chinese waters have been
ordered to Join their ships forthwith,
as the squadron will remain in the Far
East indefinitely.
1t is asserted at Shanghai that Ii
Hung Chang is recovering and has Wis
tied the German Legation, at Pelln.

NofbinS 70 Arbifrafe,

Periodically the Canadian newspa-
pers print reports that the United
States is ready to arbtrate Canada's
Alaska boundary claims. These le-
ports may emanate from Washington.
London, Podunk, or Timbuctoo. No
matter-they are all grist to the Cana
dian mill. They are p. intsd about
twice month with all seriousness,
and then Sir Wilfrid Laurier is inter
viewed about them.
II some man should attempt TO set
tie on a strip of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
homestead held by him for genera
ton without question would he enter
tain a proposal from the intruder to
arbitrate? Certainly not. If he did not
eject the intruder offhand. he would at
most call in competent surveyor to
establish beyond cavil the lines Of his
fences.
That is all there is to the Alaska
boundary question. 1t is not open to
compromise. 1t is merely a question of
measurements. The di pUted bound
airy. according to Russia's contract
with England, runs a certain number
of miles from and parallel with a des-
ignated seashore. The pol nts which
the line so defined intersects have be n
determined by the Surveyors theolo-
lite and chain.
