Railroad Policies.

l. In announcing an extension through a
rich and rapidly developing section OF
the state, the 500 road again demon
. strates it's great value to the interests 1t
was built to serve. While it may be
argued that the 500 deserves no special
credit for standing by the commercial
interests of the twin cities because the
location of it's lines will not permit 1t to
do anything else, the fact remains that
the 500 management has had repeated
opportunity to market it's independence
at a. good price: That 1T has maintained
a position which enables it to carry out
the intentions Of its projectors is certain
ly abundant reason for the cordiality en-
tertained by shippers for the 500.
: This condition is an excellent illustra-
ton of the value of a railroads policy
consistently lived up to. And on occa-
sion a policy may be a railroads most
valuable asset.
In commenting upon the 500 policy
a critic Of James j. Hill was quoted in
yesterdays Journal as saying that
Mr.. Hill had never done anything direct
ly for the twin cities This statement is
not borne out by the facts. Mr.. Hill is a
big man. and his monuments stand wher-
ever he has acquired interests. The twin
s cities have benefited directly and repeat
>edly through the building up Of the Hill
I terminals. through the construction Of the
Hill lines. and through assistance afforded
4 in one way and another to our industrial
and commercial enterprises. In many
ways he has been daring pioneer, and
probably no single man has done as much
: tory. His interests have multiplied, par
s ticularly in the last few years, until Mr.
1 Hills signal ability to administer his
a~manifold properties has come to be one
of the wonders of the financial world.
But in this multiplying of interests comes
the danger of destroying the commercial
. balance existing in a measure between
: various communities. Where questions of
traffic and rates formerly came up for
settlement in conference between sys-
TENS, they snow can be settled by the one
: man who may control all the roads in
volved. A loss to one road may mean a
- proportionately greater gain to another,
and so the loss may be incurred even
though 1t hits some community hard. 1t
is this condition which has given rise to
more or less apprehension Of the one-111an
power in the control of monopolized or
= centralized transporta ton facilities,

F. An EngIishman's View.
To the Editor of The Journal:

I take the following from a recent
leader in II h ] Ournal: -
. AN UNAvA1LING PROTEST " r..
Although Canada has protested to the British
ministry against the American members Of the
Alaska boundary commission, there is little rca-
son to believe that the protests Will ever be
transmitted to Washington. 1t is pretty well
understood in England that the Canadian case is
very poor How little attention has
been paid to it over there is shown by the
fact that SO late as 1901 the British admiralty
charts recognized the boundary line as main
tanned by the Americans The British ministry
Enows very we'll that a protest would result in
no good. .. r. J
It is possible that the writer of this
knows less about what lis pretty we'll
understood in England'' than he thinks he
does It is not a question of what is
pretty well understood but of. what is
right which is all that we in Canada want
Our American friends were just as pos
tive as to what they acquired from Rus
sa in the matter of seals. and for many
long years they persisted that there could
be- no n1an1.er Of reasonable argument OH
the subject. But the arbitration decided
that every single contention of the United
States was untenable. You may fbe
equally mistaken this time.
If your government is so confident Of
Its position it could have afforded to ap-
point commissioners answering the de-
scription contained in the treaty-''im-
partial jurists of repute.'' Secretary Root
can hardly be: impartial as an active and
leading politician, whose party would suf-
fer seriously by his adopting our side; if
Lodge can be called. a s!%jurist of reputc'
we in Canada haveHnot yet learned when
or where he earned the title, and as to
his being *impartial," that is too great
stretch of1ithe imagination AS for Mr..
Turner, he may have:th stipulated quail
| ifications, but, if SO. it is unfortunate that
his high legal attainments are not gener-
ally recognized, and that he, EhappensS to
| come from state which. IS more than or
dinarily interested in the question in a
| material sense. = -
1t is a sad pity that the great American
nation should be discredited$ by tactics
(which are positively pettifogging, and
(which, I am glad to say, we have declined
to follow. /: am also glad to know that
/ a great many Americans freely: admit, and
| deeply deplore,, thatstf1e Washington ap-
pointments cannot be justified. ..sS

A Progressive Neighbor.

President Diaz shows his customary
progressive spirit by sending o govern
mental commercial commission to South
America, with a view to extend the export
trade of Mexico with the Spanish -Ameri-
can countries, which already trade&to: 4
considerable extent with Mexico. This
commission is at work now talking trade
and showing samples, and it appears that
Mexico offers such articles as coarse and
fine dry goods as bleached and unbleached
cottons, cotton flannels, linens, thread,
dress goods, towelling, Shoes. hats, hosiery,
soap, perfumery, whisky. and beer and
steel rails, all of Mexican manufacture. :;
: A steel rail mill has recently been put in
operation in Monterey. The Mexican ex-
porters understand the needs Of the Span
isll- American market and know how to
work it for all it is worth. The iMexicans
can undersell us in some lines. as cotton
goods, for the cost Of production is lower
because of the low wages Of labor. 1t
seems rather strange that Mexico is ready
to export cotton goods to Spanish -Ameri-
Eca, when she emerged from the chronic
pei iou ~ q NSiA|
ury ago. with a very Insignificant record
Of manufacturing activity. The genius Of
Diaz has brought hundreds Of millions of
capital, largely from; the United States,
to effect. the industrial development of
Mexico which has been going on for sew
eral years with; large results. And now
our neighbor is reaching into "a region Of
whose trade we should be: the masters,
but Of which we command a comparatively
small percentage. Mexico proceeds to
compete with us and with Great Britain,
Germany and France, who have large COM
mercial stakes in Central and South
America.
Some 81 per cent of the stock Of the
$500 is owned by the Canadian Pacific.
According to- the narrow patriotism the
national policy papers are now preac ching
in Canada, the northwestern states ought
to do everything in their power to driye
the $500 out. On the contrary they well
| come every extension it makes, and yet
Americans of the northwestern states arc
far from unpatriotic. Our patriotism is
not of the kind that fights against railway
extensions We have a feeling here that
| it Is patriotic to support any project that
| builds up the country and provides trans
portation facilities in abundance -..:

Another Blow at Vested Interests

sAHOLuET ED1OW@saL veSIeus f4nttIcSGS.i
W. Judge Dickinson, of the municipal court,
has blended good sense and good law, in
his decision in a case involving the vest
ed right" of house movers to destroy valu-
able property while striving to save4sonle
Esthat usually oughts,to bes destroyed It
has seemed to injured citizens as if the
house mover always picks out the streets
with the most numerous and best shade
trees as the route for house that is
travelling from one foundation to an
other. Exercising a sort Of personal
right Of eminent domain without the aid
of the courts, the housemover has been
wont to hack off branches right and left
as his old shell moves on its majestic way.
Now comes Judge Dickinson and says
| that, a council license to move a house
! through the streets does not carry with it
the right to destroy property en- route.
Trees are valuable property and both the
| property owner and the park board have
an interest in them. But the house mover
says that he can't move the house unless
he cuts away the trees. What right has
he to assume that the moving Of his house
is of more Importance than the saving of
the trees? The park board and the prop
erty owner have a right: to be present
when this question is disposed of. It is
not a matter for committee of one house
mover to pass on.
House moving is an industrial art call
ing for the exercise of great ingenu-
ity and in its proper place is a very use
full calling. But if the effect of Judge
Dickinson's ruling, is to make it impossible
to move some of the old shacks that are
to be replaced with new structures, sc
much the better. Minneapolis requires
the destruction of lot of ruinous OLD
shells about as much as it does the CON
struction of handsome new buildings.

o'clock Saturday afternoon at the corner
of S1st and X and was taken to the Emer-

he was suffering from heart failure and

treatment, but 1t was unavailing. and he

Elizabeth Blair, colored, sixty years old.
living a short distance out on the Conduit
road, fell from a Metropolitan car about
o'clock Saturday evening on Prospect
avenue between 35th and 36th streets. She
sustained severe injuries about the head
and body. and 1t is possible that she was
injured internally. She was treated at the
Georgetown University Hospital.
Shortly after o'clock Sunday morning
three neutrality-suspicious. Stewart, Edward
Hurley and Vincent Maloney-all from the
marine barracks, became involved in an
alteration among themselves. Maloney
was knocked down by Stewart and was rem
dered unconscious by the fall. He was
taken to the Georgetown University Hos
pital, where it was found his wounds were
not serious. Stewart and Hurley were
locked up at the seventh precinct station
on a charge of disorderly conduct.
