UNDER CONTRACT LABOR LAW

Solicitor Hepburn of the Depart
ment of Justice has given an opin-
ion that college professors cannot
be brought from abroad under the
contract labor law. The Catholic
University at Washington, whose
action in seeking professors abroad
raised the question, has appealed
from the Solicitor to the Attorney
General. The opinion of the So
licitor was probably based upon the
decision of the Federal Circuit
Court for New York City, which
held that "every kind of industry
and every employment, manual or
intellectual, is embraced within the
language used" The act was made
to apply to clergymen, lawyers,
surgeons, architects, and all others
who work for money, excepting the
classes expressly excepted. There
is nothing in the act, however,
which prevents man from emigrat-
ing at his own risk. He may come
to this country and enter into con-
tract after he gets here. The aim
and purpose Of the law was TO pr :
vent employers from contracting
with European laborers to work in
the United States at European
wages. The examples which were
brought forward of the exceptional
operation of the law are to make 1t
appear ridiculous and thus prepare
the public mind for its repeal.

SHOULD BE BUILT WITH CARE

A New York paper says: can
investigation reveals the fact that
the Quaker Bridge dam will be a
menace not only to New York city
but to all the regions lying between
here and Sing Sing" 1t is not
known absolutely that dam can be
built to hold in safety large body
of water at considerable height
above the natural level. Dams may
be constructed to ho,d water few
feet high in comparative safety, but
when the weight of a hundred feet
or more of water is pressing upon a
dam, seeking an outlet, there is al
ways danger that one will be found
If dam is built which menaces
New York and all the region be-
tween the city and Sing Sing it
should be built with care.

THE arrangements for pl

The arrangements for pay
ing the price of admission to the
Paris exhibition are somewhat pc
culiar. All tickets are of the value
of one franc or 20 cents each. On
week days, from s to 10 A. NJ, two
separate tickets must be presented
to obtain the right entrance. From
10 A. NJ. until 6 p. M. a single ticket
is sufficient. After SIP. M. two tick
cts are necessary. On Sundays the
same arrangement for morning Wis
its is adopted, but from 10 A. NJ. a
single ticket will serve. The regu-
lation is fairer than was anticipated
as it is possible to spend twelve
hours in the exhibition and enjoy
the evening fetes for 20 cents. Few
will object to paying an extra franc
to have the advantage Of seeing the
objects when the galleries are less
crowded.

SEAL FISHERIES.

A recent Ottawa dispatch says
that information has been received
in that city to the effect that Eng
land and the United States have
come to an understanding in ac-
cordance with which no seizures OF
British vessels will be made in Behr-
ing Sea this season. The dispatch
does not mention having received
information that the understanding
referred to also includes a proviso
that British vessels shall refrain
from pursuing the seal-slaughtering
business ON the sea, which the U.
S. claims to be closed sea. If
there is anything at all in the Otta-
wa dispatch the understanding
come to most likely applies to the
British seal-slaughterers as well as
to American cruisers whose mission
it is to put stop to such depreda-
tons. There is general admission
by journals on the other coast that
U. S. will not be able to obtain in
ternational assent to the American
proposition that Behring Sea be-
tween the straits and the Aleutian
Islands is a land locked or closed
sea. The assumption of exclusive
jurisdiction over this body of water
is based on the Russian transfer of
Alaska to the U. S. The seals re-
sort to certain islands belonging to
the U. S. where a limited number
may be taken each year without
injury to the supply. But the Ca
madam vessels which our cruisers
have been commanded to watch
have shot at the seals on the high
sea, when it is estimated that only
one in seven is secured. Whether
or not the American claim to exclu-
sive jurisdiction can be maintained
there should be no difficulty in OBJ
tanning international assent to an
exercise of authority by the U. S.
sufficient to protect the seal fisher
les. The American position under
the last Administration was that
the subject of the seal fisheries in
Behring Sea was one upon which
the U. S. might confer with other
powers most interested in the pres
ervation of the seal fisheries.

NEVADA HORSES.

Nevada is coming rapidly to the
front as a horse-breeding State.
But few years ago horses were
being imported here for draft
and road use, but now parties from
California and elsewhere are coming
to us for draft stock. The business
of raising good horses is an excel
lent one for our ranchers to engage.
There 10 always money in good
horses, and it costs but little, if any
more, to raise good ones instead Of
scrubs, after a start is made. The
start has been made in our State,
and to-day no finer animals can be
found anywhere. Draft horses are
at present the most numerous, but
road stock, trotters and runners are
beginning to be quite thickly sprin-
killed. about. Theodore Winters has
shown what can be done in raising
running stock, and many other Of
our prominent ranchers are begin
ming to give their attention to rails
ing roadsters and trotters. We do
not believe that any finer road
teams can be picked up anywhere
than can be found in Nevada to-
day.
Our climate and the feed here is
particularly adapted to the raising
of strong, healthy, 1ong-winded an
finals, therefore we hold that in not
many years to come Nevada will
produce some trotters and runners
that will surprise the world. The
bluegrass region has always been
noted for it's beautiful and fast
horses, but put the same stock into
our State-raise it here-and it is
safe bet to make that the sage
brush and alfalfa horse will be the
superior.

THE RUSH FOR OFFICE.

Commenting on the pension rules
a San Francisco exchange remarks
as follows: Under the rules to pen
sion public servants after fifteen
years of service there will be live
ly demand for all kinds of public
offices. The man who rubs down a
fire department horse and directs
the hose against fire department
carriage for $50 month will look
forward complacel.tly to the time
when he will be retired on half pay
There is no need for man to be
provident when the city is mort
gagged to pay him pension for life.
The people who do not like the out
look are those who have a little
property and no influence to get
themselves on the payroll of the
city. Offices may be increased in
number but not to the extent of
giving every man long term at
the public crib. The men who
have had the energy and ability to
build up business more profitable
than office-holding will be made to
suffer.
