ity for election campaign contribu-

nearer to being an accomplished fact
whom the house committee on cleo
tions Of president, vice president and
members of congress reported the
bin with favorable recommends
tion. Action on the measure was ac-
complished only after prominent
men, who have been advocates of the

date and according to the claims of
both Republicans and Democrats,

Price to Ali and That Means Cash

Thirty years ago a distinguished
governor general predicted that with
in so years Canada would~ha 5O,OOO,-
900 inhabitants. Three-ffths of that
space has passed and her population
is. between 100000 and 100000.
What is the reason, asks the New
York Globe? Many persons are Of the
belief that one of the drawbacks is
this very denial to Canada of the
right to assume direction of vital
questions relating to her own well
fare in connection with the United
States. It is all very well for those
who favor a continuance of the lead
ing strings" policy to say that Can
ada now has charge of her own nego-
tiations with the United States and
other countries and that after the ex-
changes the British ambassador merely
signs pro forma. But has Canada that
right? Let US examine the most inn
portant negotiation in recent years
between the United States and Great
Britain, in a matter in which Canada
and the United States only were con-
cerned. We refer to the Alaskan
boundary dispute. 1t is not necessary
to discuss whether the finding of the
commission, which rendered a verdict
closing to Canada access from the sea
to her great Klondike through any
port of her own, was just or unjust.
The manner in which it was conduct
ed and settled is the only point neO-
