THE SECRETARY Rs-AEEnxs IT.

Last night j. D. w. Veeder re.
ceived telegram from the secretary
of the interior, stating that he had
re-afiirmed his decision of last No
vember, that the unoccupied part of
the Las Vegas grant, or the lands not
given out under the Mexican govern
ment, were public domain and would
be open to settlement under the
United States land laws. Many
persons here have been of the opinion
that the secretary would change his
decision of last December, but it
seems he has not. This leaves the
case entirely to the courts and throws
the fight between the government
and the grantees. 1t is probable a
survey will be ordered soon.

JAMES S. DUNCAN,
Mayorsof East Las Vegas.


On Sunday morning, after the
East Side Catholic church had been
dedicated, the bishop, dressed in a
golden robe, with a mitre on his
head and crozier in his hand, ad-
dressed the largest congregation that
was ever in the church, on the sacra-
ment of confirmation, during which
he dropped the following truths;
"We have no direct communication
with God or his angels, or from soul
to soul" "Nature itself is a sacra.
ment, the visible sign of an invisible
God" "The root of human dignity
is nationality" "Wisdom is great
and good, but conduct is BETTER" and
wound up by deploring the loss of
the moral and spiritual power of the
church and the decadance of the
bible, as an unquestionable authority.
After which about 100 persons,
young and old, were confirmed.

The Stultz Dramatic Co. will visit
Las Vegas at an early day. Mr.. and
Mrs. StuItz are both artistes of fine
ability. Mr.. Stultz is fine in every
role he assumes, and Mrs. Stultz has
supported Mary Anderson and Bar
rett for years. She has good voice,
a small, slender figure, large, fine
eyes, and power of appealing to the
heart that is truly wonderful. They
have several fine new plays to pre-
sent, but it would be treat to hear
the fine old play, "Lucretia Borgia'
as this company once played it.
Mrs. Stultz has suffered from i'll
health for some time, and on the ad-
vice of physicians and friends left
the railroad in southern Texas OF
New Mexico, and are coming over
land, and the trip has thus far won
derfully improved Mrs. Stultz's
health. 1t is sincerely hoped that
the company will have the reception
here they so richly deserve.

THE BISHOPS LECTURE.

Bishop Chapelle lectured to large
audience on "Thrift" last Saturday
night at the opera house. Rev. M
A. d. Rivera introduced the bishop,
who was received with cheers. The
following are some of the gems OF
thought scattered by the reverend
gentleman throughout his lecture:
"Ladies and gentlemen-I was
booked to lecture, without my ex-
press consent, on the subject OF
Thrift This is most important
subject. Thrift is good, old Anglo.
Saxon word, and means experience,
progress, industry and progress.
"Our generation is not surpassed
by any that has preceded it for its
thrift. Thrift is life, life is activity,
inertia is death;' the more perfect a
being works the more perfect that
being is, for without work there is
no development of the mind or ma
terial resources at our disposal All
our talents are. given to us by AL.
mighty God, and should be put to
good use. Man has his destiny in
the hands of his own council; man
must to q certain extent make him
self; mans work to be of any use
must be intelligent.
"The farmers work is a complicat-
ed business. Every farm is little
kingdom in itself and demands work!
work.! work!l!
"When the Son of God came from
highest heaven he not only took on
our natures, but our work and the
carpenters work. The Creator OF
the universe worked; he worked six
days, and he works now"
Under socialist regime, the rev.
erend gentleman said, the state would
be everything, the individual moth.
ing-the most awful tyranny mans
mind can contrive or imagine.
"Prodigality is not the road to
wealth. Eat well, eat wisely, and
drink wisely, according TO constitu.
ton and the nature of your labor.
Avoid the wastes of intemperance
and extravaganza, and strive to econ
omize-the young especially"
When the bishop declared that
New Mexico needed as much irriga-
tion from mans brow as from the
acequia, there was great applause.
The lecture ended by the bishop
answering question that had been
put to him many times: "Well,
bishop, how do you like Las Vegas9''
His answer was, 81 like it very
much"

At the congregational meeting of
the First Presbyterian church, held
after the regular service yesterday
morning, Rev. Mr.. Skinner was called
to act as pastor, by unanimous
vote. We shall probably know if
he accepts in day or two.
The music at the East Side Catholic
church yesterday morning was very
fine, and contributed greatly to the
impressiveness of the exercises. The
choir consisted of Miss Hattie Kuick-
erbocker, Miss Maud Kellar, Mrs.
Douglas, Miss Kate Cavanaugh,
Messrs. Dick, Thomas and Desmar-
ais, and Miss Bessie Cavanaugh, or.
ganist.
One of the prettiest things said by
Bishop Chapelle in his sermon yes
terday, was "that it was better to be
a good man than wise one" How
torcibly this strikes us! No matter
how wise a man is, if he has sold his
honor for a "mess of pottage," he
has indeed fallen low. And yet the
poor man may hold his higher self
beyond price, and he is by far the
nobler of the two.

A Liberals Views.

MIR. Ep1ToR:-The instructive let
ter of Mr.. A. Marques, in this morn
ing's issue of your paper, leads to
certain reflections in a kindred strain
which perhaps you may not find
amiss at the present juncture.
MIR. Marques financial suggestions
were in part embodied in the 'plan
of campaign" which was being con-
Quoted in the late elections by the
Liberal party, in which Mr.. Nj. was
an honored leader; and its revival at
the present time is not untlmely even
though the party OF liberal princi-
pies has suffered defeat.
I was not voter at the late cleo
tions but was very intimate with the
men and measures of the liberal
movement and was an enthusiastic
admirer OF the progressive principles
and enterprising policy of the Llber-
al leaders. With one exception "a
"haole" deserter from the old reform
ranks), they were intelligent and pa
triotic men who sought only to fur
Their the prosperity of the country.
They had confidential relations with
those high in authority at Washing
ton regarding the plan of new
treaty. They also had assurances
from friends in financial centers
abroad that would have enabled them
to relieve our "pilikias."
But you, Mr.. Editor, and the
political party that you represent
ed, fancied that you had discov
cred in the Liberals party of
anarchy and agitation, and you put
all your machinery in operation
to defeat them. You practically
succeeded. You defeated party
that were worthy of your steel, q
party that had put forth the best
political principles and competent
men to support them, and who were
we'll equipped and prepared to as
sumo the burdens and responsible
ties of legislation and government
with an intelligent plan and pur
pose. But what did you give Us II
their stead? You elected a group OF
five Mobiles who have proved too Gun
ming to give blind allegiance to th
party that created them and hay
formed the nucleus Of a lively ant
able Opposition, ambitious to secur
power in their own hands.
The strength of the Liberal part.
was broken by the persistent opposi
tion of the Reform party. But nov
it appears that the reformers are jus

and the high standard of politics

1he Proposed Cession of Pear,
Harbor,

MR.. EDITOR: Your readers are
under obligation to Mr.. Theo IT
Davies for his courteous and we'll.
considered letter on the subject of
Pearl Harbor, which appeared in
your paper of the 18th instant Ha
mas stated more clearly and for
chilly the chief objections to the
establishment of foreign naval
station at Pearl Harbor than has
been done before.
The first objection is, that it
would compromise our neutrality
IN case of any war in which the
power owning the proposed naval
station should be involved. This
objection is certainly decisive
against Mr.. Marques idea of put
ting up the privilege at auction
without regard to political con-
slderations. 1t is perfectly valid
against our making such a cession
10 any European power, as Russia
or Germany. Great Britain and
France are out of the question, as
they are efectually debarred by
their joint convention of November
28th, 1943.
AS the United States is outside
OF the European political system,
and has no concern in the Eastern
Iquestion, the occupation of Egypt,
the partition of Africa, or any other
question on which the Old World
is divided, it is the only power to
whom it would be safe to grant
any such privilege. At the same
time, while it is proper for us to
remember the friendly and gener-
Gus policy towards this little king
dom which that Government has
uniformly pursued since 1926, and
the important benefits, both COM
mercial and political, which we
have received from our great neigh
Dor, we should fairly and dispas-
sionately weigh the advantages to
be gained by the cession and all
its future consequences.
Mr.. Davies second objection,
that such a naval station might
become harbor for criminals, has
much less weight, inasmuch as the
contracting parties could, and
doubtless would, make such ar
rangements as would prevent it
= from becoming an asylum for
opium smugglers, burglars or other
criminals. Care would no doubt
be taken to select as isolated a site
as possible for the proposed coaling
and repair station, in order to guard
against such annoyances.
But it does not seem likely that
the United States will favor the
project at present, on account OF
the present position of the two
great parties, the closing of one
presidential term, the possible
change of administration, the oc-
cupation of Pago-Pago as a coaling
station, as well as the scrupulous
care of the Government to ascer-
tain and consult the actual wish OF
the sovereign and people concerned
in any such act.

New ORLEANS, LA, Feb. PA large
number of resolutions on various subjects
were introduced and referred to committees
at the Trans-NIissouri conference to-day.
During the session Hubbard of
Texas delivered an address on
the subject of Waterways. He
said until the meeting at Denver
the plea for appropriations were in vain or
too late TO do good. 1t was not
so to-day. They had succeeded in
getting the promise of the government
for ST, 2OO,000 to deepen the harbor at Gal
weston, and in due time twenty to thirty
feet of water might be expected.
Within the last three months the
depth had increased five inches. There
was now seventeen feet of water at

only upon promise Of the government for
indemnifcation.

BERLIN, Feb 24.-During the debate in
the reichstag to-day on the proposal offered
and supported by the Socialists to abolish
the tariffs on food, Herr Book urged the
house TO ascertain how many millions of peo-
pie were distressed through the duties and
how few derived advantage from them.
MentenTel, Conservative; Bull N-tional
Liberal. and Behr, members of the reich
stag, defended the duties as protecting the
agricultural interests, which were greatest
in the country.
Bebel, Socialist, said the fruits of a pro-
tective tariff were poc6eted by the land
lords. He instanced the eastern provinces
of Prussia. where wages of laborers were
down to 4 starvation point
When the proposal was put to a vote it
was rejected by the house.
