Question of Land Tenure.
The longest chapter in the book that
on taxation and land administration, lay.
especial stress upon the question of land
tenure. The difference in the proper
methods of dealing with a question oil
this kind in a country Inhabited by q
simple minded. ignorant population. as
compared with the method in country
like the United States, where the land
holders and homestead seekers are wide
awake, enterprising people, capable of
taking care of themselves. is insisted
upon.
1t is thought that the Government
should take especial pains to conserve
the interests of the native Filipinos.
and TO prevent the absorption by mere
spectators, Americans or others, of
agricultural as we'll. as of forest and
mining lands. Following the almost
universal custom of Oriental countries,
it would be best for the Government to
retain the title and to lease the lands
for somewhat long periods-thirty years
or so-at fixed rental, reserving the
right to revise the terms of rent at the
end of the period named. The rental
should be fixed according, to the value
of tie average annual CROP without ref
erence TO private improvements, speak
ing generally, and persons not cultivat-
ing :he;r lands should forfeit them.
In order to encourage the investment
of capital in the development of the
agricultural resources of the islands, it
is thought that especially favorable
terms with low rentals should be made
for time to large investors. 1t is not
thought wise. however, to grant per-
petual leases without reserving the
right to revise the terms of rental, or
to dispose of lands in fee simple. ex-
cepting in cases where claims have al
ready been obtained under the Spanish
government, or where the circumstances
are such that there is no possibility of
the native Filipinos being ousted
The chapter on the police. while filled
with interesting material regarding the
systems used in the countries visited,
contains few suggestions for the i'm
provement of the already excellent force
of the Philippines constabulary. 1t is
urged that a chief function of the po-
lice is so to win the confidence of the
native that his aid can be secured in
suppressing crime and in insuring good
government.

FORLORN HOPE.
Whisky Sellers Claim ArkansasE- Laws
Are Only Ones In Force in Terri
tory towns.

A test case, it is said, will come
up at the December serm Of the
United States court at Okmulgee
in which Territory whisky sellers
will attempt to shov that the fed
vral liquor laws do notspply to all
Territory towns.
The grounds upon which the
fight will be made is, that the prop
srty in the Incorporated towns is
vested in the whites and that said
towns are not part Of the terri.
tory. This being the case, 1T is
held that the laws forbiddiDg the
sale of intoxicating liquors do not
apply 10 them, bu; that the Arkan-
sas laws are the ones in force.
There ire said to be precedents in
Oklahoma that are parslleled with
the same one which will be argued
before the court next December,
and that the supreme court Of the
United States has decided that the
laws Of the Indian Territory do
not apply to incorporated towns,
which are separate and distinct or
ganizations.

line is allowed to deviate somewhat from
the true meridian line at certain points
The chief deviation is in the Boring straits,
the date line being made to run along the
center of the waterway, instead OF being
taken across Kamschatka, as 1t would do
did 1t follow the actual meridian.
The date lines recognized by the admir-
atty and by the United States navy are al
most the same.

A CONFUSION OF DATES.
How Alaska and the Philippines KeeI
Their Calendars With the World.

From the Glasgow Evening Times.
Whereabeuts-if there be whereabouts
at alton the earth's surface is the place
where the day" may be considered to be-
GIN and where the date" consequently
has to be changed?
A day" of course, Is a reality-it is the
time occupied by the earth in making one
rotation on its axis. But as SO defined
every meridian on the earth's surface has
day" of It's own.
But 1t would be impossible to regulate
human affairs upon the basis Of each meri-
dian having it's own day" it Is a matter
of necessity to reckon, according to the day
Of some selected station. Formerly each
nation was wont TO reckon time from sta
ton OF its oWn-whenee came much con-
fusion, affecting many questions. Nova
days, however, practically the whole world
has agreed to take Greenwich as the Sc
iected station--to make it the general first
meridian" whence time and geographical
longitude are alike reckoned. Well $50
degrees east and lS0 degrees west are iden-
tical meridians. 1t will be seen at once
that 1t entirely depends upon whether you
have reached 1t by proceeding eastward or
by proceeding westward whether you reek-
on the day on this meridian Saturday or
Friday.
And further. II coming eastward You con-
tinued your reckoning after you crossed
the $50 degrees meridian you would find
yourself calling sunday morning that
which those who were coming toward you
from the west were calling Saturday morn
ing; while the latter, after they had crossed
the $50 degrees meridian in the course Of
the continuance Of their journey would, did
they likewise maintain unchanged their
mode of reckoning. be calling Friday night
that which you had just called Saturday
night.
Thus, then. the Greenwich day" begins
at the $50 degrees east meridian. The
date, therefore, must change there, or
otherwise intolerable confusion would re-
suit. Compromise. therefore. has as a neces-
sary complement to the general agreement
adopted the Greenwich day" the using Of
the $50 degrees east meridian as the basis
of the date line" or line OF boundary at
which the date Is changed. In travelling
eastward the date is rectAfed by doubling
the day. i.e., calling two successive days
by the same name, while in travelling west
ward it is reetifed by dropping day out,
i-e., passing at once, say from Saturday to
Monday-in both eases the change being
| made at the $50 degrees meridian. In ac-
tual practice the arrangement is not quite
| so simple; practical requirements nscessi-
| tate another compromise Though it mostly
