their signatures and completed the
map. On the map is marked the
boundary line definitely fixing the
division of American and British
territory on such a basis that no
American citizen will lose a foot of
land he already believed he held,
while the United States will get
the waterways to the rich Alaskan
territory with the exception OF the
Portland canal, which gives Cana
da the one outlet she so much
needed.
The long standing dispute was
only settled after a week of keen,
trying, secret deliberation between
the arbitrators. Lord Alverstone,
though openly inclined to believe
in the Justice of the American ar
gument, that the United States
was entitled to the heads of inlets
as contained in question 5, held
out that Canada had established
her case in questions 2 and 3, deal
ing with the Portland canal.
Senator Lodge, Secretary Root
and Senator Turner agreed to cede
these points, and to start the Amer
lean boundary line from the head
of the Portland canal thus giving
Canadians that channel and some
small islands on which there are
only few disused storehouses.
This accomplished, the majority of
the tribunal agreed to fix, with
this exception, the entire boundary
as outlined in the American case.

Talk of a New State

Alaska Boundary Dispute Settled

A draft of the decision reached
by the Alaskan boundary commits
sioners, was signed by IA majority
of the commissioners Monday
evening. Messrs. Alyesworth and
Jette, the Canadian commissioners,
refused to sign.
The decision grants all the Amer
lean contentious, with the except
ion of the one relating to the Port
land canal. The signatories were
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone,
Senator Lodge, Senator Turner and
Secretary Root. They constitu ted
a majority and ensured 6nality.
Messrs. Alyesworth and Jetle
carried their outspoken disapproval
of the decision to the point of re-
fusing to sign even the decision
giving the Portland canal to Cana
da, and they emphasized their atti
tude by walking about the room in
the foreign Office before the sigma
lures of the others had been affixed
to the historic document, which
had already been printed.
The refusal of Mes RS. Alyes-
worth and Jette to coincide with
Lord Alverstone's views was only
known to a few persons in London
but at the foreign office and in
high government circles it has cre-
ated a painful impression. There
is no hope expressed that the Caua-

notice that Senator Hansbrough

gress this winter to repeal the tim.

comes law then he will present

large lumber syndicates from pur-
chasing these lands has not been
explained by the senator. But it
is supposed that the present law is
to be repealed because the lumber

The Press as a Means of Safety.

In his address before the National
Editorial association at Omaha Pres
ident Garry y. Willard spoke of the
ethics of journalism, and said it was
the duty of every true newspaper
man to stamp out yellow journal
ism. He aroused great enthusiasm in
"a denunciation of attempts to throt-
tie the press. He said:
One of the paramount questions of
the day to our profession is the libel
law. made more pointed than ever by
the infamous enactment of the Penn
sylvania Legislature, signed by Gov.
Pennypacker, whose name will ever
be odious to all people who believe in
the liberty of the press and who rely
upon its great power to deDOunce
crime and corruption in public office.
There is no installing the sentiment
of the press and the people on this
momentous subject. 1t is the duty of
this body to pass strong resolutions
against this Law. which seeks to throt-
tie the press, and the press should
give both moral and financial support
to secure its repeal. So unjust and
fragrant a violation of the peoples
rights will not be tolerated in any civ
ihzed country.
The liberty of the press has been
der of fellow journalist in South
Carolina, and we protest with all ear
nestness against the atrocious deed"
There is food for thought for peo-
pie generally in those remarks.

We Need a Change.

Congressman Joseph H. Shull of the
Goth Penns ylvama district, in writ
ten statement given to the press few
days ago, focused attention upon a
matter in which the people at pres
ent are greatly interested. II have
cOntended for a year or more" said
Mr.. Shull, that the corruption of the
Grant administration would sink into
insignificance when compared with
the rOttenness in every department
of the present administration. The
postoffice department. is near the
people. and an investigation of that
department is likely to throw light
indirectly on other departments that
are worse"
If Mr.. Shull can throw any light on
the crookedneseS of the government
officials he should do so. The corrup-
ton should be exposed and the guilty
punished. Enough already has been
disclosed to make every broad-mind-
ed voter who is in favor of honesty in
public affairs believe there should be
a change of men and methods at
Washington.
