They Declare Tint the Interests Of

refusing 10 sign the award, say they

10 such explanation from MS as will en-
able them TO comprehend fully the
manner in which their interests have
been dealt with. We take up the points
OF the decision In the order In which
they are presented by the treaty under
which the tribunal was constituted:
'Firs,-Thc Portland channcl-there
are two channels parallel with each

the four islands, kannaghunut, Sitklan

tribunal, other than ourselves. have

lands are the outermost OF the four.
They command tho entrance OF the

wholly destroys the strategic value to

lands There Is. In our opinion, no
process Of reasoning whereby the line
thus decided upon by the tribunal can
be justified, 1t was never suggested by
council In the course Of argument tina,
such a line was possible. Either the
four Islands belong TO Canada or be-
long to the United States. In the
award. Lord Alverstonc agrees with the
United States commissioners that the
islands should be divided. giving the
two which possess strategic value tc

Judge Hughes Dead.

Judge F.. NJ. Hughes died at
his home in Montgomery City
Wednesday OF paralysis. He was
stricken last week while hearing
a motion for Il change Of venue
at Mexico in the Clarence Barnes
case, charged with the murder
OF Hon. II. Clay Rhodes. He
was taken to his home in Mont.
gomery City, where he died
Wednesday morning.
Judge Hughes was one OF the
ablest jurists Of the State. He
was elected to the position Of
Judge of the Eleventh Circuit
Court district 1886, and has
served continuously in that posi-.
ton until death claimed him.
He was born in Troy, Mo on
November Z, 1874, and therefore
nearly 81 years OF age. He was
educated in the common schools,
read law and vas admitted to
practice in 1867, and was actively
engaged in the practice of his
profession until he was called
upon to perform the Office OF
Judge for the Circuit Court of
that district, which duties he

Folk tho Peoples Man.

As an evidence that the people
Of Missouri want Joseph w. Folk
for Governor, there are elements
endorsing him every day who
have never shown their hands in
political matters before, and as
they are voters who believe in
honesty in public office, and wish
to give due credit where back.
bone has been exercised in the
discharge of official duties in the
face Of great odds, they will help
to elect Mr.. Folk irrespective Of
politics, or political a%filiation.
The call for him comes from the
people, and he should promptly
consent to carry his purifying
elements into the gubernatorial
chair and thus redeem some of
the honor that has been lost by
the dishonest acts OF q gang OF
Legislative bOodlers who have at
last been exposed at his hands,
The people Of Missouri realize
now that they have been imposed
upon and The honor of their great
state has been dragged In the
foul and disgusting slime Of dc.
gencracy by unprincipled mon,
that made u business of selling
themselves to q horde of money
grabbing ,nagnates who found
them willing to betray their un.
suspecting constituents for dis.
honest gain. These exposures
have brought the people to a
sense of their duty to an official
who is not found wanting when
the states honor is at stake, and
they are determined TO call
Joseph w. Folk to the front
without regard to leaders or pol.
iticians, and place him at the
head of state affairs, where he
may exercise the functions Of
his high office to still further
purify the tainted air that now
surrounds our Legislative roster
AT the state capital.
1t is not fair or just to say
that be cannota Governor probe
to the bottom this d~isgraccful
r0ttenness. He can, and there
are many others to holp, once
they find backing in tho highest
office in the state. We are will.
ing to risk u chances with Mr..
Folk, as he has proven his ability,
while he has been apparently
blind to ali Influences that would
even tend to load him into cor.
ruptible paths or swerve him in
fully performing his duties.
This is the kind of a Governor
the people are now calling for
and they demand that he come
forward.
