a MASS MEETING.
The mass meeting was held in the

against the policy OF centralizing

for thirty years. All were exceedingly

General Wood expresses the emphatic
opinion that all customs receipts should
be expended in the respective provinces

ception of such Il percentage for Ha-

ANOTHER or MANY PROBLEMS.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 3.-The OBJ
lection OF the citizens of Santiago to
the execution of the War Departments
program requiring the customs collec-
tions to that port and at all other Gu
ban ports, to be sent to Havana, has
brought the War Department face to
face with another of the many prob
lens connected with the administration
of affairs in Cuba that require speedy
settlement. The order is felt to be alb
solutely necessary, the interest of good
government requiring that there should
be but one responsible head to the Gus
toms service in Cuba. It was pointed
out at the War Department to-day
that If Santiago, at one end of the ISL
ands, and Havana, near the other, were
allowed to keep their customs receipts.

IMPROYEORATORY.

The pressing need of improve ment in one of the most important features of political campaigns, that of public speaking, is effectively set forth in a contribution to the cur rent issue of the American Economist. The writer, MT. Lee Fairchild, is Q cam mpaign talker of mach experience, and hence may be presumed to know whereof he discourses. He has found that many an otherwise successful meeting has been spoiled by lack of suitable drill and pre- paration on the part of the speakers, and candidates and cause have suffered accordingly.
 Undoubtedly the chief fault of campaign oratory IS that there IS altogether too much of it. Nearly all speakers have too much to say, and take too long to say it. Great numbers of them go wrong alike in choice of subject and mode of treatment. All this because nobody took them in hand and told them what do and what not to do. Where fore, together with other reasons cenvincingly stated, Mir. Fairchild brings forward the very excellent and timely proposal that speakers institutes be made a branch of cam paign management. He would have these institutes held just prior to the opening of the campaign, and he would require the attendance of every asplrant for stump honors who possesses less than a national reputation in order that they may submit themselves to the instruc- ton and guidance of those qualified to put them through a course oi preliminary training.
 In this way there would be an assurance of the selection and deve- lopment of the best talent and Oi the spending of campaign funds in the most effective way. Large sums of money are spent in every import ant political canvass for the hire and expenses of speakers. In the absence of judicious choice and drill of the orators much of this expendI- lure is barren of valuable results The subject and the plan proposed by Mir. Fairchild are worthy of the serious consideration of national, State and other committees. The "spell-binder" and the "wind- iab- Der" we have with us always. The question is, how to make the best possible use of them. The proposed speakers institutes would doubt less go far toward solving the pro blem.

 ship of the public lands was in Spain; and passed to Mexico upon its independence, and afterwards vested in the Mexican republic.
 "If the title was in the Mexican union, how did it get into the states? There was no law conveying it. It is claimed, however, in the petition, by virtue of the sovereign general decree number seventy of August the 4th. 1924 The decree of August 4th, 1924, seems to be a revenue measure simply-and certainly as far as this law could effect it there could be no sales without the pre- vious approval of the supreme government
 "By article 1 of the law of 1907, Decemb Der 8, 1886, the Mexican territory was divided into as many departments as there were states, with certain notifications which did not affect Sonora. The effect of the laws necessarily was the destruc- ton of the states as such. The government then ceased to be fed eral in form and became centralized in character. The power of Sonora as a state was extinguished The constitution of 1886 has no provi- sion in regard to public lands, but the laws passed under that constitu- ton deals with them in such a manner as to preclude the further rights of the states as such over them.
 "As already stated, the grant recites that it was made in the name of the free and independent and sovereign State ot Sonora as we'll as that of the August Mexican Nation.'
 "We need not dispute this. It is ample to show that the national laws were not pursued, and besides it is conceded that at the time ot the grant the State of Sonora was in rebellion against the nation. Ii and its officers therefore were op- ponents of the national authority, not its instruments; while declar- ing independence of it, they could not claim to act for it and convey title.
 "The appellee (Earl B, Coe} further contends that the national government approved the title of Rodrigues. This contention has net been established.
 "It follows from these oveius that the decree of the Court of Private Land claims should be, and l is reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings.
 The Algodones people claim that the reversal of the Land Court by the Supreme Court means new trial. We hold different for the reason that the vital question, the power of the State of Sonora to grant has been passed upon and settled in the negative, and that the lower court can do nothing more than enter it's decree accordingly There will be no new trial-the case is settled.

AN INTERESTING DIVORCE CASE.

Says the Los Angeles East Side Ne,os relative to California mar riages performed in Yuma: The Neeos recently referred to Yuma, Arizona, as 8 modern Gretna Green, and mentioned some Los Angeles parties who had gone to Arizona to be married on account of the ease and facility with which the act can be committed in that territory. Another interesting case has developed.
 On January 12, 1899, Druse Dow obtained a divorce from her hus- band in Los Angeles. The law forbids marriage under a year af- ter receiving a divorce. To evade this, the lady went to Yuma and was married to Frank Rose, who lived on Water street, East Los Angeles. On Monday, May Sd, the lady filed an action for divorce from Rose.
 Messrs. Adcock x Reymert are attorneys for the husband and Messrs. Hester & Ladd for the wife.
 We understand that this is re garded as a test case and that Judge Allen says that It raises some very grave questions. As the year was not up and the time of appeal had not expired, 1t is con- tended that the lady in the case was legally incapable of entering into a coRtract.
