CLE4 RLY PUT.

The opinion of the corporation coun-
Police commissioners who transferred
some men from the active to the vet
eran reserve list puts the matter very
clearly 1t points out that the only
question is whether the commissioners
have exercised their discretion" prop
erly. They have the right, at their dis
erection, to transfer any member of the
regular force who shall, either through
age or physical disabilities incurred in
the discharge Of perilous duty or in
long and faithful service, become per-
manentIy disqualified for the more ac-
tive duties of the regular grade. And
discretion" means discretion guided
by law. 1t must be governed by rule,
not by humor; it must not be arbitrary,
ular, and not subject to improper mo-
tives
That's just about the size of the mat
ter The general opinion is that the
commissioners have not acted with le-
gal discretion, but to settle the matter
properly an opinion of the court will be
needed, unless the commissioners back
down, which they do not now seem in
clined to do.

IN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The decision Of the United States SUI
preme court in the Shufeldt case has a
wide application. 1t amounts, in short,
to declaration that any person receiv-
ing salary from the government is
liable for rea sonable debts and cannot
set up the plea of bankruptcy In order
to avoid judgments. Captain Shufeldt
is retired army officer, having serv-
ed in the medical corps. His wife OBJ
tained divorce from him some years
ago and Tie court awarded her ALI
mony Captain Shufeldt declined to
pay the sum decresd by the court and
fought payment through many legal
contentious. He lived in house that
was built on the border line between
the District of Columbia and Maryland
and fresh complications were added to
the case by his efforts to evade the le
gal officers of the District and of Mary
land. When sought by officers of the
yard and DEFY them from the soil of
Maryland and when wanted by the
Maryland representatives he would
skip into the house, where he was safe
within the District lines. Finally the
fight was carried to the Supreme court,
which held that as long as Captain

The sSempervireus club of California,
organized to secure the preservation of
the sequoias, is not resting on it's
achievement of obtaining an appropria-
ton from the legislature to purchase a
large tract of the Big Basin in the
Santa Cruz Mountains, on which the
giant redwoods stand, but has taken
the first steps towards greater en-
terprise. It's object now Is to purchase
the entire $4,000 acres which are neces-
sary to round out the Big Basin Park.
To this end 1t is asking subscriptions
Ilon associations and individuals. To
allay fears of an increased State ex-
pense for the care of so large park
area, 1t is declared that with intelli-
gent forestry, the park may be made
self-supporting. The great trees are
never to be sacrificed, of course, their
preservation being the object of the
MISREPRESENTATION plan; but the growth
of other wood in the Basin will, it is
believed, furnish a sufficient revenue
especially as other forest tracts in the
vicinity are being denuded in a reckless

expense bill with that incurred for the
authorized attendance at the unveiling
of the Washington monument in Phil
