The race for the nited States
Senate between Governor Lougino
aud Senator Money Is being spiced
with criticisms and personalities
INDUCED In by both gentlemen.
A campaign of ridicule can serve
neither of them any good pur-
pose and will be regarded by the
people as out of keeping with the
dignity of the positions both of
them hold. Ii was never intended
by the Federal Constitution that
candidates for the J'nited States
Senate should secure election by
parsding their merits or the de
merits of their opponents before
the mass of voters. but that the
dignity of the place should be
maintained by having the State
legislatures make the selections.
thus keeping them ont of ordinary
political contests. The present
complexion of the race in Missis-
sippi is not calculated tn strengthen
sentiment for electing them by
direct vote of the people. but
rather eIemplities that the trainers
of the Constitution were wise in
placing their selection with the
States. The politics employed in
contentious for office in BALI
wick are not permissible in con
test for the United States Senate
and cannot be- engaged in by aspi-
rants for that place without coude-
scension and reflection on the
dignity of the Office.

English should command the coast op-
posite. Il would be entirely isolated, de-
prived of all support and at the mercy
of the British establishments on the
mainland. Russia does not insist upon
the reservation of the strip along the
coast for n value il has. but in order
not to lose the surrounding isles We
do not seek an advantage, but rather
to avoid giving one"
"aus it will be seen that Russian di-
plomacy was fully equal to the cunning
of John Bull in those old days, and il
also clearly shows that the very thing
canada is now contending for is just
what Russia declared she would not
have.
Among the points used in the argu-
ment to prove the American title good
viii be the following:
First. After the treaty of 1926 the
Russian government Immediately pub
lished a map, claiming the strip of ter
ritory whose legal possessions is now
disputed. as well as all the interior wa
ters Of the sea inclosed BY it.
Second. The Russian American COM
pany established forts and trading posts
within the strip.
Third. BY virtue Of a lease. which
was a recognized assertion of it's SOW
ereignty, these forts and posts We're
temporarily transferred to a British
company.
Fourth. At the termination of this
lease Russia re-entered and took pos
session Of the strip and remained in
u~ndisputed control until Alaska was
transferred to the United States.
Fifth. Russia received the allegiance
Of the native Indians inhabiting the
strip and exercised control and super
vision over them.

In the present and in the past Eng
land has not been wanting in great
names in the socialist ranks, and n

stance and respect in England which it
has never had with US. Unfortunately,
the socialists have for years been much
divided in England, or the political
movement would doubtless be more
advanced.
Socialists are very independent and
self-contained people: they have their
own views n opinions ana do not
take kindly TO the rule of caucus ana

that his judgment is just as good as

anyone else, and he, therefore has
the right TO lead and the rest can DO.

are split into factions and fragments.
Years ago. in the days of it's greatest
VigOr. one party went away ID the
leadership Of the poet and artist, VIII.
liam Morris White; another followed
VI. H. Hyndman. Although this was
long ago, and the great artist has been
dead for seven years, the split has
never yet healed W.
The strongest of the socialists pO-
litical leaders living today is prob
ably Mr.. NJ H. Hyndman, a man Of
great learning and culture. a graduate
OF Cambridge. a successful business
man and a parsonage of much infu-
enc in Europe; besides this he is one
or the ablest speakers in England.
This year he is standing for parliament
on the socialist ticket and the party
looks 20 the coming election to demon
strate that at last socialism has taken
a hold on English politics in a sub
stantial way. But even i'm this case,
with their strongest man as a candi-
date. the radicals are not cOnteut TO
live in peace. There are many radicals
and labor leaders i'm England who viii
not support Hyndman, who, in fact,
