"Whatever may be finally decided
by the American people as to the
status of these islands and their in
habitants-whether they shall be intro
duced into the sisterhood of states or
be permitted to form Independent gov
ernments-it does not follow that IN
the meantime, awaiting that decision
the people are in the matter of per-
sonal rights unprotected by the proVls-
ions of our constitution and subject TO
the merely arbitrary control of Con-
gress. Even if regarded as aliens, they
are entitled under the principles of the
constitution to be protected in life, lib
erty and property"
The court thus carefully distin-
guishes between the universal rights
and privileges possessed by all of us
who are subjects of what Chief JUS
tice Marshall called 1.-The American
empire" and those rights and priv
ileges which can only be acquired by
American empire, but under our con-
stitution every citizen of that empire
is protected in his personal rights Of
life, liberty and property, and real i'm
perialism is impossible. This is
point that has been made repeatedly
by the President in his recent
speeches. The constitution, he has
said, has always carried with it the
blessing of liberty, and it always will.
1t will never be used to make subjects
or slaves of any people, but rather to
help them to greater liberty. On this
point the court is clearly with the Pres
ident.
The Interpretation of the court Is
now the supreme law of the land. All
good citizens are bound by it, and all
legislation henceforth will have to con-
form to it. The decision is the most
important which the court has been
called upon to render since the recon-
struction days. 1t is broad and sweep
ing and far-reaching, taking in all the
aspects of the whole question of the
relation of the United States and ac-
quired territory. 1t will enhance the
profound respect with which our Su-
preme Court has always been regard
ed, and will command the attention of
the civilized world.

A dearth OF violets may not sound
alarming to those who are not aware
of the great Importance of this flower
IN perfumery. At present great dis
tress prevails all along the Riviera,
and especially at Nice owing to the
failure of the violet harvest. The ex
ceptionally cold spring and the Bit
ter winds have destroyed the blooms,
and the peasantry are in such pitt
full condition that a public appeal has
been made to assist them until the
young plants can be bedded out. The
orange flower crop has also been very
bad. The marked change in the eli
mate of Nice is said to be due to the
frequent fires which have destroyed
the forests in the Estereals, and it is
now proposed to replant them, and to
pass a vigorous law for their better
preservation.

For some years there has lived at
the foot of Nagyssal, in Hungary. a
hermit named Boimuller, who, dwell
ing in miserable hut, edited all the
locality by his austerity and piety.
Some weeks ago, however, he came un-
der police surveillance. and to escape
their undesirable attentions, he deter
mined to set fire to his hut with
view of giving rise to the idea that he
had perlshed in the flames. Unfor-
'tunately for the success of this device.
ne was recognized at the West Sta
tion at Buda-Pesth by detective, who
took him to the police station. On
the way the holy man amused himself
by throwing money at the crowd. but,
unfortunately. the coins were bad. The
hermit" was in reality a base coiner;
and he now occupies a cell" in the
prison Of the capital of Hungary.

Another balloon voyage across the
sea is announced. Comte Henri de la
Vaulx is preparing for an aerial voy-
age over the Mediterranean in July or
August, according to the selection
made by NJ. Flamarion and other wind
and weather experts. The count is
undoubtedly one of the most promi
nent balloonists, although his first eff
forts were intended as a pastime. He
considers that the first practical fruits
in the way OF aerial navigation will
be foiNnd on the ocean where a contin-
uance of unaltered temperature gives
increased steadiness. The starting
point will be from the Isthmus OF
Sablettes. near Toulon. A shed will
be erected on the beach to make all
preparations for a departure at short
notice.

BELICOSE SENATOR'S
ASKED TO RECONSIDER

Columbia, S. c., June 1.-Governor
McSweeney has rejected the resigna-
tions of Senators Tllman and McLau-
rim, to give them time to reconsider
their action.
In returning the designations Cover
nor McSweeney, in part, writes:
Il respectfully return your resigna-
tions, that you may have time for Sc
rious consideration of the effect upon
the people of this state of this action
on your part. The commission which
you hold is the highest compliment
and testimonial which the people of
this state can pay to one of its citi-
zens. 1t is possible that you have
taken this step hastily, in the heat of
debate, and without due reflection on
the consequences to the people who
have so signally honored you.
1T was only last year that our peo-
pie had the excitement and turmoil in
cident to a campaign, and in another
year we will be in the midst of fur
ther political strife. The people are
entitled to one year of peace and free
dom from political battles and bitter
ness. The indications are that a cam
paign such as would be precipitated
by vacancies in these two exalted po-
sitions would be very acrimonious
one, and personal, rather than n dis
cussion of issues. and from such a
canvass our people should be spared.
In fact, it would be a calamity to the
state to be torn asunder by a heated
canvass in this off year III politics.
There can be no possible good to come
of it.
"Holding these views and looking to
the interests of the people of uiis
state-their peace, prosperity, and hap
piness, l respectfully decline to accept
your designations and beg to return
them herewith"

Politics in the South.

There was nothing especially signifi-
cant politically in the reception given
the President. He had equally as cor
dial a reception in Georgia nearly four
years ago, and southern communities
are prompt to evince patriotic spirit
and are never neglectful of the laws of
hospitality. But the Presidents
speeches gave evidence of his sincere
desire to discard all sectional differ
ences and the broad and wholesome
nationality of their tone was infectious
among his hearers. But the change OF
political conditions in the South is i'm
minent because the basis of the old or
der has passed away and it can not be
perpetuated on mere sentiment, preju-
dice and resentful memories.
Mr.. Larry CAN'T of Spartanburg.
South Carolina, who has hitherto been
a supporter of Tillman, declares boldly
that the South in general and southern
cotton mills in particular may look for
great practical benefits from the ac-
QUESTION of the Philippine Islands and
adds: 1T is high time that the intelli
gent voters of the South were begin
ming to think and reason for them
selves, and not so blindly follow politi-
clans and office seekers, whose love of
self and thirst for promotion greatly
overbalances devotion to his people
and his country. l am Democrat to
the core, but am progressive, twen-
tieth-century Democrat, and not an old
political fossil that when going to mill,
put a rock in one of the sack and corn
in the other, just because my daddy al
ways did that. The world don't stand
Still, but moves forward. Every year
new issues present themselves for our
solution. Parties, as well as men, IL
they do not desire to be left far behind
in the march of progress, must keep
pace with the times"
There are many progressive south
erners who think as Mr.. CAN'T thinks
and they will not longer suffer their
thoughts and actions to be ''cribbed,
coftined and confined" for the sole pur-
pose of maintaining party organiza-
tion that has lost it's original purpose
and meaning.
President Mckinley may have done
something toward fastening the dis
ruption of the solid South, but his
chief opponent in the last two presi-
Dental campaigns has done much
more. Had the Democratic party pur-
sued the even tenor of its way on the
old lines the loyalty of the South to
that party would have remained un-
shaken, for n longer time at least, but
Bryan radicalism, coupled with Bryan
defeats, has been too trying n test for
the unquestioning continuance in sub
servience to party name of 100000
people spread all the way from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande.
Division OF sentiment in the South
is inevitable as the old issues that made
it solid recede into history and new
ones arise that strongly affect the
South's material interest. The preju-
dice against the nan.e Republican may
long linger in this section. 1t has an
association with war and reconstruc-
ton that is ill-savored in the South
But division in sentiment on public
questions is already at hand in the
Sonth. 1t is manifest everywhere and
that division will make impossible tho
continuance of political solidity.-

Doctor Nagusha, the Japanese bac-
teriologist. has made a formal propo-
sition that all civilized nations unite
in an organized effort to rid the world
of rats. His own government, he de-
clares, stands ready to bear its part,
and the suggestion has called forth
remarkably unanimous verdict of ap-
proval from the doctors of many lands.
Ways and means have not yet been
formulated, and it is in that direction,
of course, that the greatest difficulty
lies. Whether or not rats can be ex-
terminated, or anywhere near exter-
minated, is question yet to be de-
termined. But in any event their
numbers can be enormously reduced;
and the certainty with which the
spread of the bubonic plague in India
and in Hawaii has been traced to rats
makes even a reduction in numbers
worth the effort 1t requires.

St. Joseph's Pupils at Larsons Theatre.

The pleasing operetta "The National
Flower" was given by the pupils OF St.
Joseph's academy at Larson's theatre
Tuesday night. Both costumes and dec
orations were tastefully and artistcally
arranged. The different characters sus-
tanned by the students portrayed careful
and systematic training. The program
of the contestants, the jury and the court
had pleasing effect upon the audience
Uncle Sam capped the climax by arriv-
ing at critical time and settling well
sustained dispute between the several
aspirants and awarded the prize to the
Yakima Milling Co.'S -four. The play
consisted of three acts interspersed
with excellent music and appropriate
songs. The evenings entertainment
closed with an amusing farce, The Gre
clan Bend"
All who attended went away feeling
that they had had their moneys WORTH
while the receipts were gratifying to the
school.

The Christian.

The beautiful story ''The Christian,
by Hall Cain, has been read by over
seven millions of people. In its drama
tiled form it has been seen by millions
more and will always have warm place
in the hearts of the people.
The play is in four acts and prologue.
The scenes are laid in the ancient fitting
grounds of Peel castle, Isle of Man; in
the salon of the Colosseum Music Hall,
London in the club room of st. Mary
Magdalen's church, Soho, and in Glory's
apartments at Clements Inn, London.
The drama is owned by Liebler & Co.,
and was produced at Larson's theatre
last evening by an excellent company
under the management of Geo. C. Tyler.
Lionel Adams as Father Storm and Julia
Stewart as Glory Quayle, the stars of
the company, were at their best and
were enthusiastically received. Their
support was excellent and the scenery
all to be desired. 1t is one of the best
attractions ever given in North Yakima
and justly merited the large audience
that greeted it.

belonging to the state with the intention
of purchasing it. Should they succeed
in purchasing all this land the intention
of the Weyerhauser people is to also
purchase all the property that will have
tendency to keep theirs from being one
continued, unbroken tract. Should this
syndicate succeed in gobbling these
lands they will be Immediately taken
from the market and held for specula-
tive purposes. The result of this will
be an immediate rise in the price of all
timber lands. With each passing year
they grow more valuable. Senator
Welty estimates that for the next twenty
years they will increase at the rate of
70 per cent per year on their present
value. Senator Schofeld in the senate
the other day, during the debate on the
capital bill, said that in jefferson, Clal-
lam and Pacific counties alone, the
Weyerhauser syndicate would pay $780,
600 for the state timber lands. Accord
ing to Senator Welty's figures, these
lands in 1921 will be worth s240, 900, 600.

Shade Trees For the City.

Councilman S. Chappell received a let
ter this week from well known author
ity on shade trees, who recommends the
following varieties for this city: Soft
maple, sugar maple, cork bark, English
elm, linden, horse chestnut, mountain
ash and black walnut. All of these
trees have become quite popular in older
states by reason of abundant foliage.
The soft maple, linden and elm are
quick growers, and while the walnut
and sugar maple are of slower growth,
their value is sufficient to warrant the
time in their production.
