By the death of Francis Palms, one
OF the oldest and best known citizens
of Detroit. the entire estate which he had
accumulated descends to two children, a
son and daughter The exact value of

Much OF it consists of great land tracts
in Michigan and Wisconsin. covered by
the towering forest for which that reg
ion IS famous, and the value OF which Is
morally certain to increase as timber for
building ana other purposes becomes
more scarce. Always an economical
and thrifty man Mr.. Palms made few

of this vast estate, and WAC is an Of
spring Of Mr Palms first marriage, the
daughter being the fruit OF second
union. Unfortunately, the same cannot
be said for Miss Palms, however, thanks
to the conduct of senator OF ,he United

Aside from that the significant part OF the
letter is as follows:
That part of your PASTORAL to which re
fer has been taken by the press as placing
the Catholic church in the attitude OF a
champion of private property in land, and IS
certainly calculated to create the impression
that the doctrine that all men have
equal and inalienabe rights to the
use of this natural element Is
opposed TO and condemned by the
Catholic faith Since | am not a Catholic,
it might seem hardly BETTING i'll me TO deny
your right as an archbishop to clothe youI
political and economic opinio in the Garb of
official religious teaching, but | may, per
haps be permitted to cali your attention to
the fact that such a right has been expressly
denied by high Catholic authority, and to
the further fact that the very opinions which
you officially stigmatlze as opposed to Catho-
lie teaching are openly vowed, not only by
Catholic laymen and priests, but by prelates
of high official dignity not inferior to your
own. Perhaps also | may be permitted to
observe that the quotation that YOU make
from the enCyclical of Pope Leo XIII IN no
" ST bears out the Interpretation you put
upon it. Instead Of condemning as danger
Gus theory" the doctrine that human rights
to the use of land are equal, it on the con
trary, condems only those who asSail the
right of property which is sanctioned by the
natural law and this restriction which ex-
eludeS land, is still further enforced by the
pope'S characterization of the property
of which he speaks-a chara terization that
property which is thu result of human exer-
