Many are living today who were

unfettered labor in the Empire state.
1t is surnised that as they read the
record they will be surprised at the
progress that has been made through
the brief statement of its high lights.
These men and women undoubtedly
had their many days of discourage
ment and their oft-recurring convic-
tion that the progress they were MAX
ing was not worth the effort. Every
labor enthusiast, every worker for
progress. every toiler on the rough
and upward way has had the same
feeling. But when progress is viewed
by hve-year periods and by decades
then comes into view the real picture.
and then is there renewed determine
tion to continue. And that is the
spirit that each day makes the world
a better place to live in than it was
yesterday.
Because the progress of labor legis-
lation in New York state has been
an inspiration and model for all of
the other states in its outstanding
features, the next article will review
the genesis and the growth of the
New York state department of labor
into the great instrument for good
that it is today.

posed. She then states that the
reason thirty years have been al
lowed to pass without C. plebiscite
being held in Tacna and africa is be-
cause Chile, possessing the territory
and the necessary military power to
hold 1t. refused upon various pre-
texts to agree to the conditions for
erecting the measure. The reason
for Chile'S refusal. Peru contends
was that she lacked the majority
necessary to secure success by vote.
and that previous to 1900 she adopted
various Illegal and even "scandalous"
methods to get rid of Peruvians who
lived in the contested area.
Peru accuses Chile of having
caused the failure of every endeavor
to end the controversy by invariably
insisting that she should conduct
the plebiscire under Chilean control
and management and by refusing to
submit to arbitration the points in
diScord. Peru then summarizes her
arguments along this line, as fol-
lows:
The people of the provinces have
mt expressed their desire to become
Chilean. on the contrary, the unan-
| imouS admission of the Chilean au-
thorities that down to 1910. at least,
the population was overwhelmingly
Peruvian. shows conclusively that a
plebiscite, if it had been held in 1884.
would have been decisively in favor
of Peru. This has openly been adj
! mitted by many Chilean publicists.
"It explains the Chilean refusal to

Chile's part. practical waiver of
her expectations under the piebi-
scite. The plebiscite contemplated by
the treaty may, for all practical pur-
poses, be regarded as having been
held and to have resulted virtually in
Peru's favor"
Contends Peru Is Still Sovereign.
Peru contends that as Il p1ebfscite
never has been held in the provinces.
| Chilean sovereignty has never begun
and Peruvian sovereignty has never
terminated in the territory in ques-
ton"
The people imported by Chile into
the territory subsequent to 1894 arc
not inhabitants in good faith" says
the pIlel, continuing tndt the treaty
of Ancon contemplated only the in
habitants of Tacna and africa in
! 1894, and then only. would be the
ones who would be consulted as to
the permanent sovereignty of the
territory"
Only those persons, whether dom
i iciled, emigrated or expelled, are en-
titled to vote" the brief asserts.
But, inasmuch as a great proportion
of them are now dead or for other
reasons impossible to restore to their
original homes and domiciles liz
Tacna and AFRICA. the lapse OF thirty
years since 1894, during which Chile
has frustrated the holding Of an
honest plebiscite, has SO materially
and vitality changed the conditions
contemplated by the treaty of Ancon
that il would seem a plebiscite in
the present circumstances would be
impractical, unfair and unsound"
Therefore, Peru states confidently,
the Peruvians call on the arbiter to
decide against the holding of pleb-
iscite. Like Chile, Peru hopes that
the desicion of the arbitrator will
bring about the solution of this
controversy. of the highest political

Editors note--Cp to the present time
India has been to most Americans a rather
unreal land, made familiar more through
the genius of Rudyard kipling than by
virtue Of any actual affinity with American
ideals and aspirations. In the past ten
years, however. India has been steadily
advancing on the path Of self government.
Its political situation has developed to q
point OF worldwide concern. and the NEXT
decade promises to he the most interesting
IN the history Of this great empire Of the
east.
Two articles written especially for this
paper by man of over thirty years ex-
perience in Indian journalism not only dis
close many intimate facts long hidden in
the channels of diplomatic secrecy, but
throw vivid sidelight upon the social
and political life Of this newly awakened
nation.

ARTICLE VI.

\ 1864 it was proposed in New York
state to make organizations of
wage earners ineffective by making
strikes illegal. During the recently
threatened coal strike many well
meaning but poorly informed citi-
zens proposed the same thing. In
1864 it is quite possible that some
strike threatened the comfort of
number of people. Ia this day, how
ever, the Legislative remedy of 1864
would not be given serious considera-
ton. If it should be, and resulted
in a law, it would be d vicious inciter
of strikes and class bitterness.
The effect of this attempt to throt-
tie and make supine the organiza-
tions of the wage earners was quite
different from that sought by the pro-
moters of the legislation. The work
ers awoke to the fact that they
must organize for their legislative
welfare. and they did it with such
promptness and determination that
they not only brought about the de-
feat of the proposed law. but began
affirmative action extending through
all the years since 1864. A brief
history Of these activities will be of
value for the record, and also as an
object lesson to those whose patlenc

The sale of building lots at the
point, known as Bayview Heights, on
the main line of entrance to the town
sold by the Dixie Realty Company, on
Friday of last week, was a grand sue
cess, when they offered and sold sew
enty-one fine building lots at reas-
enable price.
The bidding was spirited among a
large assemblage of people and the
Realty Company seemed much pleased
at their success.
This sale will be a great boom to
the resort in the way of building new
homes, as some of the purchasers of
lots at the sale have already sold some
of their lots to prospective builders
for about double the amount they paid.
The past week was lively week at
the resort. Many parties coming from
different sections of the country,
MARYLAND, Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey being well represented.
The fish fans were in evidence ev-
ery day during the week and the week
end brought them here in increased
numbers.
While the fishing was comparatively
good, there were no exceptional large
catches made as to numbers, but in
size and quality of the fish caught the
catches may be classed among the
best.
Trout fish are getting more numer-
GUS or otherwise they seem to be TAX
ing the hook more freely than the
,croakers; than as to the quality and
size, the trout are far in the lead, as
trout fish weighing as much as eight
and a half pounds were brought in by
the fans during the week.
We had many pleasure parties aside
from the fishing parties during the
week and several Sunday school picnic
parties, and taken all together it was
a pleasant week at the old resort and
everybody seemed happy.
On Monday of this week there were
many of the fish fans that were stay
overs from the weekend, or otherwise
came Sunday night or early Monday
morning and took in the fishing on
that day and from the reports given
by a number of them they were well
rewarded for their efforts in the way
of large catches and of choice fish
Some of the visitors reported that it
was their first trip out in the bay fish
ing and they were tickled at their
success.
All cottages are occupied by So
journers and will be until after Labor
Day, as that day has become to be cne
of the gaily days of the season here.
Many of the sojourners will depart
for their homes Immediately after La
Dor Day.
A happy bunch of young people have
lust finished their vacation and de-
parted for their homes. They have oc-
cupied the Oak Leaf cottage on Hub
hard avenue. The company consisted
of the following: Misses Edna Short
and Elizabeth Dische of Dover, Roxa
Hastings of Woodside, Ethel Rash and
Helen Minner of FELTON, and Belle
Prettyman of Greenwood, Maris Pyott,
of Dover, Samuel Powell of FELTON,,
and Joseph Hurd of Harrington. The
party was chaperoned by Mrs. Will
