Kivu and the eastern shore of Lake
Kivu. leaving Kwijwe Island TO Bel
GUM. Thence it follows natural feat
ures north and east TO and across Lake
Albert Edward to the Luhilika River and
up that stream to its source. Thence
line is drawn To the source of the Lamla
River. and the boundary follows that
stream ard the Semliki to Lake Albert
and across that lake.
As a result of this readjustment Bel
gium gets additional territory, including
Kavalli's and all the land at the west of
Lake Albert: Great Britain gets half Of
Lake Albert Edward and the eastern
half of Mount RuwenZori and retains
the valuable salt mines of Katwe; and
Germany is confirmed in her title to the
western part of Ruanda The summit
Of Mount Sabinio is made the point
where the three empires meet. The re-
adjustment has been Il matter of give
and take. with some concessions and
some gains 10y each of the three. and its
net result is Il defin te establishment of
the boundaries on logical and unmistak-
able lines and an avoidance Of friction
and controversy in future.
simultaneously with this achievement
the Belgian government has ordered
that hereafter the proceedings of the
Colonial Council shall he promptly
printed and published instead of being
kept secret for Il long and indefinite
time Theevalue of this reform must be
obvious and will doubtless prove to be
great There are reformers in the Bel
gian parliament who are just as intent
upon correction of abuses in the Congo
as EngliShmen and Americans have ever
been. and this publication of the doingS
Of the Colonial Coun il will enable them
to know what is going on and to offer
such criticism as may seem necessary.
The former abuses il the Congo were
largely due to the secret star chamber
methcd of ruling that country. With
the records Of the council open to all the
world. we may eXpect better things. On
the whole the Belgian government seems
to be sincerely and intelligently intent
upon redeeming the COrgO as a Belgian
colony from the reprOach and shame
which cit incurred as an alleged free
state" but really as the private estate
Of an avaricious and not overscrupulous

federalism of Hamilton never included

There is a solid basis for THE Posts

traffic. so far as it is conducted within
a state is part OF the states police
rouer and cannot be legitimately taken
over hv the federal government. If the
nation can force prohibition on a state
which does not want it or compel Il state
which wants prohibition to issue liquor
licenses. then the federal power can
regulate every last detail Of state au-
niinistration. The Will-of-the-la -larger-unlt
theory is sound enough when applied to
the subdivisions of a state, which are
not federated in order form a limited
political sovereignty. The authority OF
state is paramount in every county.
city and township within its limits But
the power of the nation over the state
is not unconditional. II is strictly de-
fined and narrowed by the terms of the
federal compact. and it is an eXtraYa-
Gance to say that, simply because ma
iority in Congress favors national pro
hibition. laws can be passed which, will
forbid state to sanction the manu-
facture or sale of liquor within its bor-

interesting to the public TO learn that the
American Red Cross expects soon TO have

company. fitted cut with a travelling eX-
hibit of first aid appliances and safety de-
vices for the use of miners. Dr. NJ J.
Shields. who has been organizing for the
Red Cross first aid courses among miners
will travel with this car and the tnlteu
States Geological Survey will detail man
to accompany him to illustrate and explain
the uses of these safety devices. what
kind of explosives should be used TO pro-
vide as much safety as possible ana the
manner of handling such explosives VIII
also be Illustrated. The Red Cross is hav-
ing prepared for Dr. Shields's exhibit in
dividual first aid cases and miners first

ing added In Polish, Slovak. Lithuanian
and Italian.
1t is hoped by this means not only to
instruct the miners. the large majority OF
whom are foreigners. but also 10 interest

vices and their value

THE CLAIMS or LEISURE

Washington seems to be in the grip
of another crisis We learn from the
newspapers of the capital that the tran
Guil routine of life there is threatened by
an extension Of the hours of work in the
executive departments. The government
clerks already labor seven long hours a
day. and the tyrannCus suggestion has
been made by certain persons high in
authority that they might work eight
hours every day eXcept' Saturday and
Sunday without extending themselves or
returning more than an equivalent for
their salaries.
Some Of the protests against an exten-
sion of Ctfice hours make queer reading
away from Washington 1t is argued
seriously in the local newspapers that
t. compel government clerks to stay at
their desks after 4 p III. would prevent
many of them from attending profes-
si0nal schools and thus preparing to

Sir Why should ninety thousand people
be permitted to take 81 per cent OF all the

Why should the government tax a thugs

WANDERING yEFFERSONIAN

The Tribune recently called attention
10 some striking passages in a speech
made by William J. Bryan 70 the Cath
ole Total Abstinence Union in Chicago.
Mr.. Bryan took the extremely feder-
slistic view that the Will Of the larger
political unit should always be binding
on the included smaller political units
that in prohibiting the liquor traffic the
county could properly overrule the city
or town. the state the county and the
nation the state. He saw nothing in
consistent with local rights in state wide
prohibition and nothing Inconsistent
with state rights in nation wide prOhibi-
lion That view. we said. might be
logical and intelligible enough if ex-
pressed by an advocate Of Capitalization
and nationalism. but could Il, we asked.
be consistently held b Jeffersonian
end q Democrat:
The Houston Post has responded TO
our suggestion that certain Jeffersonian
authorities. Of which it was one. should
pass on the political orthodoxy Of Mr.
Bryan's advocacy Of nationwide pro-
hibition. Our Texas contemporary has
Just done so. saying without hesitation
that Mr. Bryan's view is neither JEFF
fersonian nor Democratic. The Post
ranks the Chicago speech with the ex-
fremest utterances Of the federalistic
school and adds:
The proposition that The larger unit
has right TO control the smaller unit
IS IN conflict with not only every prin-
ciple Of Democracy, but with the federal
Constitution itself and If any attempt
were made 10 assert IL the country
might be thrown into furor scarcely
less intense than that which once in
volved the states in civil war.
