Canada's Childishness.
Washington Post.

MY opinion Is that the Canadians are
acting rather ctildishly in the way they
take the award OF the boundary commits
England.
when men agree TO arbitrate their dif-
ferences IL Is known in advance that one
side or the other must lose. and the world
has ever held In contempt the one who
whines when the verdict goes against him.
I know nothing of the merits OF the dis
pute but on general principles am against
the party who finds fault I'm such an In
stance / suppose that IL the award had
been in favor OF the Canadians they would
was quite ridiculous The Canadians have
not elevated themselves In the opinion OF
mankind. and their display OF resentment
against Lord Alverstone is very petty con-

Mr.. Bryan has denied that he ever said
