PROPERTY OF THE WORLD
Political Status Of spitzbergen Fixed
by Conference of the Powers
Interested.

Spitzbergen has always been mo
Mans Land It's political status has
at length been fixed in the most gen
eral terms, for hereafter it is to be
the land Of every nation that is suffi-
GENTLY interested to contribute
small assessment for the maintenance
Of some semblance of law and order
there.
This is the outcome of the series Of
conferences between Russia, Sweden
and Norway that has dragged along
for several years. The three nations
based their claims to the archipelago
upon the exploratory work they had
done. Nothing came of all their talk.
Having fully agreed to disagree, they
have met again at Christiania and
evolved a remarkable compromise.
They have signed a convention under
which Spitzbergen is to be neutral ter
ritory open to all nations, with a gov
eminent administered by a joint board
composed of one representative OF
each OF the contracting powers. The
board will levy such taxes as are per-
mitted by the interested governments.
Nobody seemed to want these
islands until 1905, when it began to-
look as though the British flag would
fly above the glaciers. Fifty Britons
landed, began to mine coal, and have
kept the industry thriving ever since.
Then Russia and Scandinavia began to
feel paternal andsdelved in their ar
chiyes for the records of their own
pioneer explorers.

Rope Horseshoes.

Horseshoes of rope are largely

that there should be some demand In

attention to the fact that the
popular majority against tariff
reduction is 1000, 900. That is,
the combined vote for the candi-
dates opposed to the Democratic
theory of tariff for revenue only
is 100000 greater than the
Wilson vote. Wilson polled con-
siderably less votes in New York
and in other states than did Bry-
an in 1908, showing that the ell
ection of Wilson is not due to any
change of opinion on the tariff.

Roosevelt. Still, the Free Trade
party will go ahead with it's de-
structive work, under the mis-
taken supposition that the peo,

Rejoicing in Germany.

German newspapers are re-

ernor Wilson to the presidency of
the United States.
They hail his election with sat
isfaction, believing that it will
result in closer and better trade
relations between Germany and
the United States.
The Tageblatt says: Germany
greets with pleasure the return
to liberal trade policy and a re-
duced tariff. This will open an
agreeable prospect for perman-
ent and just trade relations, an
agreement for which Germany
has long been sighing."
The Taeglische Rundschau says
Germany has every reason to
be satisfied with the result of
the election in the United States. Z"
It expresses the belief that Gov.
ernor Wilson will alter what it
describes as the inconsiderate A.
merican foreign policy.

newspapers talked along these
lines when Cleveland was elected
in 1892, and we know what hap.
