WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTY
CONTROVERSY OVER AN ESTATE
VALUED AT $1,000.
T.. s. II. SeGuin Appointed Guardian
of Elizabeth II. kehr-Othe
Cases i'm the Courts.

Edward s. r. Seguin was yesterday ap-
pointed guardian of Elizabeth NJ Kehr
after considerable controversy in the pro-
bate department. Some time ago her hus-
band died, leaving an estate worth about
$1,000 to his daughter. the wife being cut off
in his Will because. il is said. her parents
would not allow her to live with him. Mrs.
Kehr had been m to the Insane
Hospital and was taken out by her parents.
Her mother wanted a guardian appointed.
and the relatives representing the daugh-
ter's interest desired to have A suarcian
OF their own choice. Judge Walker al
tusted the differences by appointing Mr..
Seguin, who is a disinterested person and
not familiar with any of the family trouble.
Judge Walker also recommended that the
widow take her lawful one-third OF the
estate instead of accepting the provisions
of the will, which stated that the daugh-
ter should provide for her mother out or
the income of the estate.

definitely expressed by senator Fairbanks.
1t is also interesting to note that the sem
ator traces these principles to a source
even higher than the Constitution. Broad
as that instrument is. it is far from cover
ing every political duty, every administra-
tive function or every personal right. 1t
leaves much for Congress TO discover in all
these respects and TO do Of its own motion.
The Constitution does not require Con-
gress to establish schools or colleges or 10
do anything whatever for the cause of educ
cation. In fact. it does not contain a word
on the subject. Yet under it's general and
implied powers Congress has donated lands
for public school purposes. established ag-
ricultural colleges, created and maintained
a Bureau of Education and done many
other things in the interest Of popular edu-
cation. Why? Because il is the American
way. These acts are not required by the
Constitution. They find their source and
origin in principles which are inherent in
the American character. They have led
already TO the establishment of public
school systems in Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines which promise great results. There
is nothing alarming in the exercise OF such
a power by Congress. The Constitution
gives Congress power to establish post
offices and post roads, but does not make
the duty obligatory. even in the States,
much less in the Territories. Yet Congress
has done 1t in every part of the national
domain, including our new island possess
sions. 1t is the American way.
Senator Fairbanks is right. There is a
sense of justice inherent in the American
character that is a sure guarantee for the
wise and beneficent government of our new
possessions. Nobody need fear that Con-
gress will abuse it's power.
