The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is
misinformed. That paper says: 'lt
is said that New Mexico has a grudge
against President Roosevelt for the
defeat of the statehood bill in the re-
cent congress. This, of course is un-
just. Nobody knows how the presi-
dent stood on the omnibus bill. The
majority Of the presidents party was
against it. There is a strong proba-
bility, however, that the president
would have signed the bill had it
passed, regardless altogether of the
number of his own party who were op-
posed to it. The New Mexico people
are unreasonable if they have any hos
tility to the president on that ac-
count

The compulsory arbitration law of
New Zealand is being subjected to an
interesting test by the manufacturers
OF furniture in the island. These men
had dispute with their employees
over question of wages and refused
an increase The matter was at once
taken to the arbitration court, which
granted an increase from 27 cents to
81 cents an hour. But the employers
evaded the award by closing their
shops. and in justification of their ac-
tion they declared that they could i'm
port furniture, pay the customs dues
and sell the goods at lower figures
than they could their own product un-
der conditions imposed by the advanc
ed cost of labor. This is the latest
news that has been received on the
situation, and it presents serious di-
lemma. though it is not one that was
beyond the contemplation of the law.
While that gives the court plenary
powers of investigation and makes its
awards authoritative and final, it per-
mits an employe to stop work and an
employer to shut down during arbitra-
ton or after an award is made provid-
ed that satisfactory reasons are given.

 am an earnest advocate for a demand upon congress that wag- on road to the interior be built quickly. Senator Dillingham;, as chairman of the committee, assured us that they were here by direction of the President, and that they meant business. The only infer ence that can be drawn from this is That congress wants to know what we really need most with the avow- ed intention to give it to us. 1 be- lieve that we are all agreed that Central Alaska needs wagon road more than anything else( ex- cepting a railroad). I am convinc- ed that if we properly ask congress to appropriate a million dollars for such a road we will get it. We must not be timid, but we must be
