PUBLIC OPINION
Editor Evening News:
Reading vour editorial this evening,
gives me pain. I think if you were a
property owner yourself that you
would not be so eager to have the city
buy the Westminster property. It is
all right for people who do not foot
the bills to cry for such things, I sup
pose you’think, but I for one objeot
to any such foolish thing. When the
tax bills come, as they did last week,
with taxes doubled and in some cases
three times what they were last year,
it is time to call a halt. You also say
that Perth Amboy with its fine harbor
and railroads is one of the leading
nitioa in f.liA pnmmnn wnsilth fnr milllll
factories ami before many years the
industries will be double the present
nnmber.
If it were known to the parties who
are contemplating locating in Perth
Amboy that our taxes have been in
creased at the rate they have this
year, I think that they would not be
foolish enougli to move to a town that
promises soon to be a holy terror for
taxes, as the Italians say, “You maka
da monk siok. ”
Truly yours,
S. B. GREAUEN.

Genuine trades unionism is decent
ami intelligent trades unionism.
The principle of arbitration should
be favored by every organization of
workingmen.
Friends of labor interests must not
hold the labor movement responsible
for the sins committed in its name.
The movement itself is all right.
It will be a sad day when the spirit
of "graft” or wrong of any kind is
permitted to become dominent in any
labor organization. Fight it down.

LOU DILLON WON.
Surprised Memphis Track by Bent

MEMPHIS. Tenn., Oct. 21.-What
was expected to be one of the greatest
harness horse contests in local history
proved to be a very tame affair when
Lou Dillon gave Major Delimit' a de
cisive heating in two straight heats in
ordinary time. The two minute trot
ters met in Ik" second renewal of the
Memphis gold ip. Lou Dillon imme
diately forged the front at the start
and seemingly without effort opened up
a gap of three lengths, which advan
tage she held to the end. winning in an
easy jog.
In the second heat Major Delmar
broke badly tit tiie first eighth pole, al
lowing the daughter of Sidney Dillon
to assume a lead of twenty lengths.
Turning into the stretell the mare was
pulled tip and won by eight lengths.
Both heats were trotted in 2:04%. It,
was the general opinion that had the
mare been pit shod in the race site
could have repeated her great perfoVm
ance ;it Iteadvllle, when she made tiie
circuit in two minifies. The strike fea
ture. the Diamond handicap, it dash at
a mile and a half, was won handily by

A PRETTY FROCK FOR A LITTLE
, GIRL.
Tliis is a very easv way to make a
frock for a little girl and is pretty on
children as old as 9 years. It is good
for school wear, as it is so very easy
to launder.
It is made of white linen or any
other heavy white material. Two
one-inch tucks are put down each side
of the front and back, stopping, how
ever, some distance above tlie hem to
give fullness.
bach tuck is then ’ feather-stitched
in red or blue working cotton; this
same stitching is also worked around
the turnback cuffs, Eton collar and
belt.
Although plain, this little frock
looks also well for afternoon wear,
with the hair ribbons the same color
as the feather-stitching.
Alaskan Award Agreement
Signed by Majority.
CANADIANS’ REASONS FOR REFUSAL
Lord Alvemtoui' Dives Ills Opinion
oil tile Oeneritl Issue—Dominion
Members Pruise Courtesy itml
Dood l-'nitii ol' Auierieuus.
LONDON, Oct. 111. —The offlcinl re
port of the Alaskan boundary commis
sion was signed yesterday afternoon
and then issued. It is signed by Lord
Alverstone. the British commissioner,
and by tin- three American commis
sioners, who constitute a majority of
the tribunal.
The Canadian members of tin- com
mission declined to sign the award.
Expressed in ordinary language, it
awards the t nited States all the terri
tory included within the modus vivendi
of the past few years.
It establishes the boundary on what
is known as the old Hunters' line, giv
ing the United States the heads of all
inlets.
The decision in regard to Portland
canal gives Canada I’earse and Wales
islands. The United States gets Sit
klau island and tin- broad southern por
tion of the channel.
The decision, as a whole, is of course
an overwhelming vindication of the
claims of the United States.
Three opinions were also delivered to
,1. \V. Boston and Clifford Sifton. the
agents respectively of the United Staten
and ('anndn.
One is by the Americans, discussing
the Portland canal claims; another by
Lord Alverstone on the general is- u
tuat tin* course which the majority
was determined to pursue in respect to
the matters shove specially referred to
ignored tlir> just rights of Canada.”
A Canadian who lias lieen most inti
mately and prominently associated
with the Alaska ease said:
"It is the hardest blow the imjicrinl
tie lias ever received. The place Lord
Alverstone tilled was clearly that of
agent for the Itritish government. It
will be a shock to the Canadian people
to know that notwithstanding all the
professions of friendship and sympa
thy the solemn formalities of the inter
national court have simply been used
for the purpose of handing over Cana
dian territory to the United States.
Canada lias been not only spontaneous,
but zealous, in defense of Itritish terri
tory and lias not hesitated to sacrifice
blood and treasure in defense of the
motherland. She must now face the
fact that when imperial interests or
friendships require it her territory may
lie handed over without the slightest
hesitation. This marks a most serious
epoch in tIk* relations between Canada
and the mother country.”
Special opinions were submitted on
the second and fifth questions by Lord
Alverstone. Secretary Root and Sen
ators Turner and Lodge, which will
form part of the record and in which
the reasons for their conclusions are
explained.
As Lord Alverstone and the Ameri
can commissioners rely upon . these
opinions to answer the criticisms of
the Canadian members of the tribunal
these opinions assume more than a le
gal and technical interest.
Lord Alverstone. in dealing with the
second question, recites liis reasons for
believing that tic entrance of the Port
tudo.
"After the most enrefill consideration
of every document in the ease.'' l.ord
Alv. rstone says. "1 have found noth
ing to alter or throw any doubt on tbe
conclusion 1 have arrived at. and there
are certain general considerations
which greatly strengthen it. Inasmuch
as the questions submitted to us oq^y
involve the determination of the chan
nel described in the treaty by the
words, 'the channel called the Portland
canal.' subsequent history can throw
no light upon this question, but I think
ft right to say that the use in 1S.r>.'{ of
tlic name 'Portland inlet' in the Brit
ish admiralty charts upon which tlie
t'liited States uiitcli relied lias, in my
opinion, no bearing upon ilio question.
I therefore answer the second question
ns follows:
“The channel which runs north of
Pearse and Wales islands and the is
lands of Sitklan and ICaniiaghunut
issues Into the Pacific between Wales
Island and Sitklan island."
This, briefly, is Lord Alverstone’s ex
planation of why he decided against
the contentious of liis own countrymen
and thereby settled tie long standing
dispute.
Messrs. Root, Lodge and Turner also
submit long joint opinions. Their opin
ions are peculiarly aide and judicial
expositions dealing with the contention
of counsel on both sides and end thus:
“It is impossible to resist the conclu
sion that the construction of tbe treaty
now contend:'! for by Great Britain is
an afterthought never entertained by
any officer of the British government
during the lifetime' <>f the nmkags of
Advertising is life
and a third h,v tin* Canadians, protest
ing in the most emphatic language
against all tlie American claims.
Now that the matter is ended it leaks
out that the Canadians have practical
ly not taken part in the proceedings
since Lord Alverstone declared himself
in favor of the main claims of tlie
United States a week ago.
In an intervh w Mr. Sifton. one of the
Canadian agents, stated after tlie deci
sion laid beeti announced that, while
lie declined to give an opinion on tlie
result, lie wanted to say that the rep
resentatives of the United States had
acted with perfect courtesy and good
faith throughout the proceedings. lie
added that tlie Canadians had nothing
whatever to say against the American
representatives.
Mr. 'I'. C. Wade, another Canadian
agent, confirmed all that Mr. Sifton
hud said in regard to the relations be
tween the American and Canadian rep
resentatives. lie added:
"We all agree that the Americans
have fought tlielr (‘use all through like
men and won it like gentlemen.'’
Sir Francis Jette and Mr. A. 15.
Aylesworth, tlie Canadian commission
ers. have issued a statement protesting
against tlie decision, in which they say:
"We do not consider tlie (hiding as
regards the islands at tlie entrance of
tlie Portland canal or tlie mountain line
u judicial one. We therefore declined
be parties thereto. <>ur
iltg the conference lias
nate. We have been
ness tiie sacriiicc of
Cunadn and have
oreyeut It, though
I
Hip treaty and which originated at
least sixty years after the treaty was
signed.” .
"From a British viewpoint the best
that can be said of the settlement of
the Alaskan boundary dispute is that it
is over.”
The foregoing words strike tlie key-1
note of London press comments on the
decision of the Alaska boundary tribu
nal. This decision is generally denomi
nated "the surrender of British rights
on the altar of American friendship.”
While there is no suggestion of per
sonal criticism of either Lord (’lilef
Justice Aiverstone or the American
commission.’rs. the tendency is to re
gard the Canadian commissioners as
tlie heroes of the hour for their refusal
to sign the document surrendering
wiiat they considered to be the rights
of the Dominion.
Tlu* Standard, commenting on the
loss of a gateway to the Klondike and
the islands strategically commanding
the mouth of the Portland canal, says
it is useless to dispute their confirnta
tion to another power, however friend
ly and enlightened. This loss will lie
regretted deeply by patriotic Canadi
ans. "Wp could wislt flint the result
had been different, but we cannot
doubt that the American commission
ers no less than Lord Aiverstone are
perfectly convinced that as jurists they
were giving effect to the purposes kept
in view by the framers of the treaty.”
