IN terms as explicit and unmistakable as the
Declaration OF Independence. 1t was so recog
nized and accepted at the time the treaty was
made. and for more than half a century after
ward There is no more reason for disputing
it now, or for submitting II 70 arbitration, than
there would be for thus dealing with the
Buchanan Pakenham treaty of twenty one years
later. Would our Canadian friends, who rail
at US for not offering to arbiuate something
which they themselves regarded as settled for
more than fifty years, take kindly 10 a prOpo-
sition that they submit to arbitration their title
To British Columbia? If not, they would do we'll
10 preserve a discreet silence upon the subject
Of Alaskan arbitration. For they may be
sured that there could be made ont a far
stronger case for giving to us the whole coast
from Puget Sound to Behring Strait than for
letting them break through our territory to the
sea at Lynn Canal

NEWSPAPER CHANCES.

In recent years there has been marked ten
dency on the editorial pages Of American news
papers 70 print more fun than was the custom
In earlier times OF grave and solemn treatment
of weigbty themes. study Of the daily jour
nails of the country shows that the old Gadi-
tons Of exhoTtation and argument have been
largely abandoned. Long dissertations have
been almost entirely cast away. The epigram,
the quip. the skit the work OF the pen that
points lightly and never drags-these seem to
be catching the fancy Of the public and to be
in favor in newspaper Offices, while the pom
derous essays are thrust into the waste paper
basket or consigned 70 monthly or quarterly
publications or to pamphlets prepared for a
select constituency
1t is not now meant TO consider whether this
radical change in general newspaper aims is In
every way the wisest that could be conceived;
but that it suits many present day readers and
has swept over the country cannot be disputed
II is an interesting sign of the times But it
does not mean the necessary decline of the edi-
torial page On the contrary Journals which
really stand for something, and know how to
advocate 1t persuasively, candidly and with
the simple directness the age demands are still
sought for-al the more, perhaps because so
many newspapers have been led away by the
notion that even the intelligent public wants
nothing but frivollty-and fustian.

THE DRUGGIST.pOCToR.

The jury which brought in verdict against
the drug concern for giving a man something
better than the medicine for which he asked
rendered the public service which should not
go unrecognized. Notwithstanding the fact
that a license from the State Board of Medical
Examiners is according TO the laws OF the
State, necessary for the practice OF medicine
the law is violated every day by hundreds OF
druggists who. in order to sell remedy, jeop-
ardize the lives Of their customers. Fortunate
". most Of these alleged remedies are harmless
and the abuse is not often followed by serious
consequences. hut occasionally, as in the case
in question where the druggist gave some
thing better for quinine, mischief Is wrought
and the skill of physician is required to undo
the harm wrought by the drug clerk.
The world does not know how much harm
has been done in this way, because in many
instances the victim remains ignorant of the
injury caused by the doctor behind the drug
counter For that reason it is refreshing to see
guilty man brought TO book. II is a practical
Endorsement Of the laws governing the prac-
tice Of medicine. and may serve as warning 10
druggists who masquerade as physicians.

Or TITLE 10 AL4SKA.

That was a shrewd remark Of our Washing
ton correspondent the other day. that searchings
FOR ancient Russian landmarks along the
Alaska boundary line are interesting chiefly for
she comfort they give TO some Canadians. No
sooner is something said upon the subject than
rhe sons OF Our Lady of the SHOWS begin TO
chortle IN their joy. II IL is said that an ex-
petition has failed TO find any such landmarks
they raise the merry cry, "of course not! We
fold you 50, There never were any" Or, if
Ehe finding Of monuments is reported, they smile
with immeasurabie superiority and condescend-
ingly explain 'Oh, we know all about them:
They are Indian huts not boundary landmarks!"
Then we get a fine, learned. chronological dis
QUESTION upon the totemic distinctions between
Chnkats and Chilkoots All of which is prob
ably much comforting 20 some of our Canadian
friends, and does nobody any particular harm
The fact is, OF course. as We have often set
forth in these columns, as our Washington cor
respondent again reminds us, and as the govern
Snent al Washington consistently and reason
ably holds, that the United States title TO the
Alaska ttOral is based moi upon posts or cairns
ar landmarks Of any kind but upon the simple
explicit definite and unmistakable terms of the
anglo Russian treaty Of 1925. Monuments along
she line would be of historic interest They
would be OF value as corroboratiye details But
TutH cAlSlEuCE anu the discovery OF them are

Of our title, any more than 1t would be neces-
Eary to feel mans heart-beats TO prove he was

ing, talking, eating and performing all the func-
lions Of a living being. We have personally
always felt some doubt concerning the existence
of the monuments for the reason that If they
ever were authOritatiVely erected there wouId
almost certainly be some official record OF the
fact.
II does not essentially matter, then. whether
any monuments are found or not. Any Cana
dian who disputes the terms OF the treaty would
have no hesitation in refusing 10 recognize the
authenticity or the authority OF monument

"PUCK'lS GYPDLF"

That which has been fancifully called "Puck's
girdle" is at last reality. For the first time a
line Of telegraphic communication extends en-
tirely around the world. The great work
has been done with little fuss or popular
attention. There is a striking contrast be-
tween its quiet, matter Of fact completion
announced TO the world in a few lines Of
news, and the tumultuous jubilations which
marked the establishment of cable communica-
ton across the Atlantic Ocean For that the
reason is obvious. We have become so accus-
toned to submarine cables that the laying of
new one. even though it be by far the longest
in the world, and though it be laid across a
sea never before thus spanned, is a common
place incident.
Nevertheless. it is magnificent achievement
and one which fairy marks an epoch The
encircling of the globe with an electric wire
makes strong appeal to the Imagination as well
as to the more practical faculties Moreover. II
is an achievement which reflects great credit
upon our British knsmen, and upon which
they are heartily to be congratulated. for this
line Is an 'all British" one linking together the
scattered red spots upon the map of the world
The whole line around the world il is true. is
not under the British flag. But that across the
Paclhc is, and it is now possible for dispatches
TO be sent from England to Canada. to Fiji to
New-Zealand and TO Australia without any,
where passing under any but the British flag,
and with a single landing under the Dutch lag
the system is continued 10 Singapore, to Hong
Kong, to Madras. TO Bombay and to Alden. The
impressive fact is that from England 10 Ans
tralia, through PAS degrees of longitude and
more than 90 degrees Of latitude, 'Puck's
girdle'' is "all British"
While we are congratulating Great Britain
and her colonies upon this superb achievement.
ii is impossible TO avoid regret at ourselves
having been thus outstTipped We, too, have
territorial possessions at both sides of the Pa
cifc, and enormous political and commercial
interests there. We need an "all American"
cable across that ocean. and we have a route
offering far superior facilities for laying it. It
is a reproach t5us that because OF haggling and
cross purposes this country has failed 10 be
the FIRST 10 span the Pacific with q wire. But
the fact that are thus outstrippsd should be

She was a western girl-very rich and
very pretty. She had just received her
first invitation to New York to, spend a
brief and beautiful holiday visit with a
cousin who is to sail for London on New
Years Day.
But what about clothes?
'You can have anything the town at
fords," said her affectionate, simple
hearted millionaire father.
1--WE must order everything from New
York at once amended her anxious, but
a little less simple mother. +
A telegram from the New York cousin:
"You must come prepared to buy wonder
full bargains in New York. settled the
question.
The pretty girl kissed away her
fathers doubts and mothers Worries and
reached New York week later, with a
world of enthusiasm, and a pocket full of
money, to shop to her hearts content
"F'irst of all" said the cousin, ''you
must buy what you will actually require
for your visit to New York, and by-and- by
you can fill trunks full Of splendors for
the western winter. Besides, what you
buy to wear in New York, you will find
smart enough to wear anywhere; indeed.
there is a fad for New York gowns in Paris
this winter.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-12-20


Eve must begin with morning street
dress, not a short skirt and loose Jacket of
tweed; that is not what you will see in
the smart shops holiday mornings, or at
the morning lectures and readings, or at
breakfast parties"
The western girl did a good deal Of
looking around before she found exactly
the suit she wanted and which the city
cousin pronounced suitable.
1t was one of the new semi tailored mod
els of a smooth textured, blue cloth. The
perfect fitting skirt and absolutely plain
blouse were in striking contrast with the
new road-shouldered cape, deliberately
trimmed with stitched satin bands. black
and white silk cord and fancy buttons.
The belt was a stitched satin band, with
the fashionable postillion effect in the
back. The skirt was made to flare just
below the knees, and the seams form
the beginning of the flare were
trimmed with black and white silk cords
To wear with this suit, she succeeded in
finding just the correct tailor hat, which is
the only really smart thing this winter
for morning wear, and of course, one Of
the new styles of fur jackets.
In spite of the cousins advice, that she
should mix furs'' in her coat, she in
sisted upon the plain baby lamb, cut the
short conventional style, with the wide

This coat she found Just the thing for
an opening night at the theater, worn
over picture gown" Of crepe de chine,
chiffon and lace.
Although millionaire's daughter she
hesitated before the cousins last millin-
cry temptation. 1t was a picture hat,
of white tucked chiffon and rich brown
mink with mink tails hanging over the
brim in the back. An exquisite softness
of effect was given by finish Of two
beautiful plumes, one on top Of the hat
and the other nesting under the left
brim. This hat she wore one evening to
a famous literary supper, with q white
chiffon gown, cut decolette, and thereby
started fad.
The most beautiful OF many other
lovely dresses which she found too at
tractive to resist was a marvellous crea-
ton of spangled net, in a combination Of
black and white. Little silver spangles
were applied all over the body of the
gown, and black lace edgings and medal
lions formed the trimming. The fashionable
elbow sleeves, the fichu collar and the
fancy front panel easily made this dress
the most unique in the western girls
wardrobe.
The holiday visit to New York is destined
to figure in the western girls memoirs as
a 'sFashion Tournament"
