Why A Soldier Salutes

The military salute so familiar
to every soldier and scout dates
back to very early days. At first
it was not intended in the least
to show respect to superiors.
The upraised arm with the open
palm extended was meant mere
ly to show that the soldier did
not carry a dagger in his hand
and could not attack if ne want
ed to. An even more remark
able change has come in the
meaning of the custom of retir-
ing backward from the presence
of royalty. In very early times
men backed away from a king
to protect themselves from being
kicked. Boys Life for December

BORAH ASSAILS LAWS.
Says Repeal of Arbitrary Measures
Is G. o. P. Task.

MERIDEN. Conn, October 81
Senator William E. Borah of Idaho in
a campaign speech here denounced
arbitrary and repressive laws passed
during the war"
Asserting that repeal of these laws
would be zone of the first tasks for
the republican party when given
power" the senator declared some of
the measures were far more drastic
and arbitrary than necessary, even in
time Of war. and are wholly intoler-
able in time of peace
Some were plainly in violation of
the Constitution. but passed under the
vicious theory that the Constitution
is suspended in time of war" he said.
9: For years we have been striving
to put business in a straight jacket, to
strangle individual initiative and
compel all the genius of men to con-
form to the deadening rules of some
bureau. OF late we have proposed to
go a step farther and make men think
and talk according to bureaucratic
rules.
I'VE should give business a chance
TO breathe without offense, and brains
a chance to think outside of jails."

PREDICTS BIG HARDING
MIDDLE WEST MAJORITY
Vice Chairman of Republican
Western Headquarters Gives
Out Figures.

CHICAGO, October 27-The political
situation in the middle west now

republican majorities so enormous

them" according to John T. Adams
vice chairman of the republican ma :
tional committee in charge of western
following review of campaign condi-
tions in that territory:
Minnesota will go for Harding by a
very large majority. undoubtedly
above 100000. AS a national organ
ization the democratic party in Min
nesota has almost ceased to exist.
In Nebraska the democratic organ
ization is moribund. The republican
majority in that state will be unusual
ly large, at least $4,000.
I'm Iowa Harding and Coolidge
will win by well over 100000. Sen
ator Cummins will pull through. but
he will run considerably behind the
national ticket
In Wisconsin the certainty of an
enormous majority for Harding has
taken the life out of the national
campaign. The governorship is in
doubt.
I'm Illinois the Harding and Cool
idge majority is problematical. 1t may
be around 100000. I expect to see
MI Small win over Col. Lewis.
Indiana is expected by the closest
figures to go for Harding by $1,000 or
sc, 600 In Michigan Harding is safe
and sure by a majority of more than
100000.
"In st. Louis an enormous .repub-
lican majority will be piled up. The
state as a whole will go republican
by more than 10000.
North and South Dakota will show
a vote about three to two in favor OF
Harding and Coolidge. The majorities
will not be enormous, but they will
be sure.

been given up as hopeless. and Mr.

LABRADOR PULP
 RICHES REVIVE
 BOUNDARY FIGHT
Newfoundland and Canada Each Claiming Coast
 Of Northern Land.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Oct. 29.-Re- cent surveys of Labrador which nave disclosed immense resources of timber suitable for pulp and paper manufacture have led to q revival of efforts to bring about determin- ation of the boundary line between Newfoundland and the Canadian province of Quebec. This line has never been laid down by actual sur vey and its various definitions as given in documents issued at inter- vals in the last century and half are so vague that Government off cials do net know just how much of Labrador belongs to Newfound- land and how much to Canada.
 That Labrador is rich in many natural resources, including enor- nous waterpower, has long been known, but the practicability ol tUtiiizing it's forests for paper mak ing was not demonstrated until the worldwide paper shortage led to ex- hauStiye investigations of the ter ritcry. This resulted in applications by promoters to the Newfoundland Government for timber limits in La brador As these could not be acted upon until it was determined wheth- CT Newfoundland owned the land in question, representatives of this col Cnly were sent to London late in the summer to discuss with emin- ent English counsel the preparation of a formal draft of Newfoundland Labrador claims as opposed to those of Canada.
 The coast cf Labradcr was annex cd to Newfoundland in 17G3. Ten year later, owing to the difficulties arising out of grants made to q number of persons under the French rule. 1t was changed to Canadian jurisdiction in. 1909 it was again transferred to Newfoundland and has since been attached to this colony.
 The difficulty arises over different interpretations of the words coast of Labrador" One view is that Newfoundland can claim only tho coast between Blanc Sablon and Cape Chidley. with perhaps milo inland, and that the rest of Labra- dor belongs to Canada. As defined in the letters patent constituting the office of Governor of Newfoundland the boundary was described as a linC drawn between Blanc Sablon and Cape Chidley. which would pas through the ocean . in certain sec tions and leave large areas of the coast to the westward of the line and therefore not under Newfound- land jurisdiction.
 Many Newfoundland officials hold to the view that the correct delimi- tation was made in a sessional paper issued in this colony in 1864 Under the phrascClogy of this document Newfoundland would be entitled to thousands of square miles of the in terior of the Labrador peninsula in addition to the coast
