RULER OF ITALY
AIDS THE BRITON
Decides British Guiana Frontier
Dispute to the Detriment
of Brazil

ROME, June 15.-The award Of the
KING Of Italy in the Anglo Brazilian
dispute regarding the frontiers of Brit
lsh Guiana is in favor of Great Rrit
ain.
The preamble points out the terros
under which the sovereignty of terri
tory which is not the domain of any
state may be acquired and saws that
considering these conditions it cannot
be admitted that Portugal or Brazil
effectively obtained possession of the
disputed territory, while Holland first
and Great Britain afterwards did es-
tablish effective rights of sovereignty
over certain portions only AS the
rights of Brazil and Great Britain i'm
those zones cannot be precisely fixed.
and as with the present knowledge Of
the geography of the country it is i'm
possible to equally divide ii, therefore
1t has been decided to divide the terri
tory according TO line drawn by ma
ture, giving preference to a line which
lends itself best to an equitable diyi-
sion.
The award is as follows: The from
tier is determined by a line starting
from Mount KakoHntipu and continu-
ing easterly along the watershed to
the source of the river Ireng, to the
confluence of the Tacutu, following the
course Of the Tacutu to where it Joins
the line of the frontier established by
the declaration attached to the treaty
of arbitration on Nov. 6, 1901. By vir-
tue of that declaration all the zone in
dispute in the east line of the frontier
will belong to Great Britain, and ali
the part west will belong to Brazil.
The rivers Ireng and Tacutu will re
| main open to the free navigation of
both sides.

WELL ENDED

The chaotic condition of the relations
between labor and capital in this coun-
Try and of the minds of otherwise in
telligent people on this subject is Illus
trated by the rise, duration and col
lapse of a great strike in the shipping
industry on the great lakes. For six
weeks this difficulty has lasted. 1t in
yolved directly the wages and hours
of perhaps only couple of thousand
men, but at least 100, 600 We're indirectly
concerned. With the stoppage of lake
transportation cognate industries III
over fifteen or twenty states We're either
demoralized or came to a standStill.
The movement of the principal prod
ucts of the country was checked. The
grain market felt the effect, and the
West was threatened with a fuel short
age for the coming winter as serious as
that following the coal strike of two
years ago. In its practical conse-
quences this strike was one of the most
costly and serious of recent times.
Now an act Of war like this, entering
thousands of homes, affecting armies
of workers and bringing loss to hum
dreds of millions of capital, should. one
would think, rest upon very definite
and important issues. We venture TO
say that there are very few men in the
country today who could tell what it is
all about. 1t rose simply with a GER
tain number of men who were holding
out for what they contended to be a
more uniform scale of wages. Why
this should have been permitted by
both sides to be carried to the point Of
a strike one cannot tell. But at last,
after all these weeks of idleness and
tremendous business losses, the strike
is called off with the statement that it
is good policy for the men to go to
work and make the best of bad situa-
ton.
This is a somewhat fiippant and cav
alier way of referring to most serious
situation. It reflects very fairly the
extraordinary attitude of many people
of this country toward labor questions
The whole thing is looked upon just as
a military commander regards the
movements and the lives of his men,
They are there to be killed, if need be, If
he so chooses. There is no satisfactory
explanation either of the strike or of
the end of it, bat just a permission
from above for men to go to work
again and for. the, industries of the
country to resume their normal course
Without entering at all upon the mer-
its or dement's of the employers or the
strikers. we may point to this occur
renee, SO obscure in it's origin, SO wide
spread in its effects and so singular in
its conditions, as type of utterly in
comprehensive and eventually intoIer-
able labor conditions in the United
States.

TROUBLES ENOUGH OF THEIR
OWN

The Minneapolis Tribune, notably
among the newspapers of the state, has
been for some weeks devoting practi-
cally its entire attention to imaginary
Democratic troubles within it's view. 1t
is particularly and painfully solicitous
about the fortunes of the Hon. John
Lind and the fate of his leadership. 1t
pelts away at the public day after day
with stupid and Supplying analyses of
Democratic qualities, party and indi-
vidual, and shows with all the prolixity
and with all the tediousness of the
metaphysician what Mr. Lind must do
and what the masses of the party must
do in order that they may get on to-
gether.
The obvious and correct explanation
of every such phenomenon as this is
an exceeding anxiety on the part of
the self-constituted adviser about the
fortunes of the party that claims his
interest and allegiance. Whenever you
find a Democrat sitting up nights to
give advice to his Republican friends,
you may know that he is fearful of his
own cause. Whenever you find Re-
publican equally anxious to show a
Democrat just what his mistakes are
and how he may rectify them, you may
be confident that at the back Of his
mind there is we'll concocted scheme
to lead Democracy astray, and a we'll
defined admission that unless some
such strategem will work the Demo-
Gratis will win.
We do no. think that Mr.. Lind is
losing any sleep over his present posi-
ton or his political future. We do not
think that the Democrats of Mime
apolis have any doubt whatever about
their wishes or any solicitude about
the future. If the Hon. Loren Fletcher
can take care of himself and. his party.
the Hon. John Lind has shown himself
amply able to take care OF himself and
his. Neither of them needs any partic-
ular counsel from the enemy.
The remarkable thing is that the
Tribune should be so wrapped up in a
study of details by which Mr. Lind and
Minneapolis Democracy can achieve
harmony and success while matters in
its own party are going so very badly
under ;fS vary ,,oco Oao xx-a.,I, - a.
that it had forgotten that the congress
sional district in which Minneapolis
lies is now represented by Democrat
in congress and likely to continue so.
One would fancy that it's editors could
not have read of the reports from re-
cent political meetings in which Re
publicans have been smuggling each 9th
er, both literally and physically, until
the blood flowed freely.
1t is an exhibition of humor when a
leading Republican organ devotes the
place of honor and space of WEAKNESS
to interminabie disquisitions on the
Democratic outlook, while the rift
within it's own party widens and the
Tirulence of faction grows to a point
that already threatens schism and
| party defeat. The Republicans of this
state have plenty of troubles of their
own. Perhaps it is because they find
these SO dispiriting and their own diff
ferences SO irreconcilable that they turn
to the construction of pleasing fictions
about Democracy as their only relief.

the GOVERNMENT PHYSICIANS.

The Governor has asked the Board of
Health to reduce its estimates to Civ
en- figure. The Board says that it can
not do so; but it turns out that the
reason why it cannot do so is because it
insists upon retaining a salaried gov
eminent physician in each district. II
these salaries are scaled down to a
minimum, except in the districts where
the population is insufficient to main
tain physician, the Board of Health
expense can be brought within the re-
quired estimate.
The Board claims that these salaries
should not be eliminated or cut. because
the poor will then be without proper
medical attendance.
The members of the Board are re-
sponsible men and have done good
work They, of course, believe what
they say on this point. The reason
they so believe is that their business
keeps them so closely in Honolulu that
they are not personally brought into
contact with the practical working of
the Government doctor law.
Under the law as it stands, twenty
seven doctors are paid salaries of from
$50 to 5000 a month. In addition they
are furnished free with a certain
amount of drugs. For these salaries
and perquisites, they are supposed to
examine leper suspects and to gratuf-
tously treat the poor.
The amount of time consumed in the
first service is nominal, and, as they
are sole judges of whom the poor CON
sist, the result, with few exceptions,
is that the free treatment is practically
nil.
1t is not probable that ten per cent
of the drugs furnished by the govern
ment are given away. They are con-
sidered by the doctors as simply per-
quisite of Office, and are used in their
private practice as a matter of course.
There are a few districts where the
are too few or too poor to
support a physician. 1t is proper to
substitute a doctor in each of these
to enable him to live there. |
With these exceptions there is no ex-
cuse for paying subsidies to a large
number of worthy doctors who are not |
giving the public value in return for |
The salaries received. Whenever the |
government requires any special medi- |
,al service, it can pay for it, as a pri- |
yate individual would. The Governor
s right in this matter and the Board
s wrong.
There is no better opportunity for
ealing expenses than in the Govern
nent doctor item.
