IL was most graceful and unassumIng
letter which Minister MESDoSCA sent TO THE
sUS after he had been here spoken OF as the
most fitting candidate for the great ONCE OF
President OF Brazil In the most generous
way he lauded a number OF eminent Brazillans
whom he regards as worthy candidates for the
ofilce, and he protested that he himself must
not be regarded as the rival OF any OF them.
He also declared his belief that the conduct OF
President PEIxoTo in office has been constitu-
tionAl. and at the same time gave US the in-
formation that PEIxoTo has no ambition to
be elected for a second term.
II would not have been possible for Minister
MENDoSCA TO choose words Of greater dignity
or maEnRninitY than those which he ON
poyed In his letter. or to exhibit nner spirit
OF dilidsnee than that which pervsdsd his
language We feel sure that his letter will be
psrussd with pleasure bY all the distinguished
Brazilians OF whom no spoke so highly.
II has not convinced us. however that he
would not DO the very best aud ntIsst man for
the offics OF President In succession TO

superior qualifications for the place. 1t wAsA

bridges and the multiplicity of fences, not
to speak of the terrifying warning notices.
And people do say that the novels or
fences taken down are simply hidden in TIE
brush close by, so that at the first accent of

Then there are the hypnotized carpenters
who erected unsightly barns for privileged

fact remains that this kind of coarse

But this is not the only Instance of strange

Quite recently the great Yosemite was
thrown up by controlled subjects of some
bOdy's hypno.ism.
A visitor found the great California garden
fenced across in no less than forty-seven
places.
Picture the wild hurdle race that the in
terested sightseer was expected to run to
accomplish bis purpose.
Under the pressure OF public opinion
many of these fences have gone down.
Only recently the chief executive an
nounced triumphantly that he had removed
the fences back from the road fifty feet.
Fifty feet Of the peoples own property
given back to them-yerily magnificent

Some people are asking by what right the
fences in question existed at all to the ex-

that there never could be a condition Of
things rendering such local control other
than the best.
The Yosemite and Marip0sa grove legis-
lation was new departure. or was the in
auguration of new policy. 1t had at least
one good effect-to set the fashion to our
people of making reservations for general
public use. which has since been followed,
and to tie general appreciation OF the
country The Yellowstone Park, located
in Montana, was set apart with Its wealth
of wonders for the public use and enjoy
ment Had Montana been a State, and
not Territory. the care of it might have
been given to the local government, but
this was not the case and a better system
was ordered. so that now the Yellowstone
Park has come to be one of the nations
treasures.
Following this the national reservation
IN and surrounding Yosemite. in California,
has been made. with its wonderful noun
tains. gorges and seQuoias.
Putting aside all questions Of the misman-
agement of Yosemite, it now seems most
fitting that California shall gracefully and
flungly yield the control to the General
Government.
Inc lDIaDlduls OI tUb WOIlu are IuOlo
and more (and for the benefit OF California;
to witness the wonders within the borders
of the Golden State, and the work of making
them accessible can be best done by the
United States.
1t is a public shame that we boast Of
those wonderful places and yet make 1t a
work Of physical suffering to reach them.
Every one now sees how wise it was in
the grant to California to maze it inalien-
able. for the State no sooner obtained
control under those conditions than the
Legislature proceeded to partition it out to
private parties. Had this been done it is
not too much to say that the purposes of
the reservation would have been utterly
defeated.
Let California. then, by an act OF its
Legislature do its part, join the General
Government in carrying out the scheme
establishing those great parks to be main
tanned and cared for by the nation.
