sion of insurrection and the establish
ment of peace and order
He drew from the history of coloni-
cation another lesson, the following:
'The government cf colonies or
dependencies is not money-maklng
enterprise for the sovereign power or
it's citizens This followed as a corol-
larry from the proposition that subordi-
nate states were not the property OF
the power which exercised sovereignty
over them. In a commercial age 1t
was easy to associate the extension of
trade with the foundation of colonies.
But there was no instance in history
of the successful government CT a col
cny where profit to the parent state or
it's citizens had been a leading con-
sideration. On the other hand there
were many examples of disaster and
rebellions from such unworthy greed
and exploitation.
E'Let a nation he <'said seek to en-
rich itself or its citizens at the ex-
pense of it's colonies and it impover-
ishes all. But let a nation in all its
dealings with its colonies take as its
sole criterion of judgment and stan
dard of conduct the welfare of the col
onists, and it will result, as history
everywhere demonstrates, that the en-
riched dependencies become the most
profitable traders with the ruling
country"
He laid it dcwn as a cardinal princi-
pie that the way to get profit from col
pense. On the contrary, a colonization
power should aim at nothing but the
welfare of its colonies. And by far the
largest element in their welfare was
good government.

CHICAGO sQUATTERs INDICTED.
Captain Streeter Claims an Islet in
Lake Michigan

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Captain S:reeter,
who for years has held out on a plot
of land formed by dumpings in the
lake against many legal attacks to
dispossess him, was today, with a
number of his followers. indicted by
the grand jury, charged with con-
spiracy and conduct calculated to in
cite riot.
Captain Streeter years ago was
wrecked on a little islet formed by the
refuse dumped into the lake. He built
a hut and became a squatter, claiming
the land to be virgin territory. 1t
was under the federal control alone,
the shipwrecked mariner declared, and
he acknowledged no other legal au-
thority. Various people owning land
in the vicinity, valuable for factories,
sought to dispossess him, but he bat
tied with them in the courts and con-
tinued to extend his "squatter SOW
ereignty" over the increased territory
formed by continued deposits of refuse.

TODAY'S CONTEST
Both Yacht Commanders EX-

The Columbia Fitted Out with a
New Wind InterCep ing Sail

Proved Her 10 Be fhe Beffcr Boat.

New York, Oct 4.-The off racing
sailor men on the two cup racers. Mr..
Iselin and Sir Thomas Upton, how
ever, employed their hours in different
ways The Columbia went out for a
short trial spin outside Sandy Hook
shortly after noon today, principally
to try out new club topsail. Under
the main sail and jib the yacht filled
away from her moorings and was un-
der the influence of fresh southwest
breeze. She was soon passing the
point of Sandy Hook.
Captain Barr brought the yacht
around tc wind when the new topsail
was ready to hoist, and in a few mo-
ments the big sky-reaching sail was
mastheaded. 1t was one of Hatha-
ways latest and best productions, and
like a tailor-made gown on a pretty
woman. After tacking several times
to get the sail we'll stretched the Co.
lumbia was headed back for her moor
ing buoy in Sandy Hook bay, where
she arrived about p. m. The main
sail was slowed and all hands went to
supper on board the tender, St.
Michaels
C. Oliver Iselin said to an Associated
Press representative this afternoon
Il am satisfied with the Columbia s
work during yesterdays race, but not
with the weather conditions. None OF
US could tell where the wind was COM
ing from, not even the sailing master.
In all my yachting 1 do not remember
when I've seen a f1unkier day than yes
terday. With all that, however, we
had overhauled the Shamrock for the
third time when the race was called
off. She could net have crossed our
bow if she had gone about at that
time Our crew worked we'll from
start to f1nish.'
Sir Thomas Upton is not worrying
over tomorrow's race one bit. On the
contrary, when seen today on the Erin,
he felt confident that his craft would
give a good account of herself no mat
ter what kind cf a brseze there is.
He wants a good fresh breeze, how
ever, so that the relative speeds of
the defender and the challenger can
be thoroughly demonstrated.

also favor an assistant bishop. The commit

advisability of division, but they considered
several lines of division submitted by Rev
