THE LATE MINISTER BUCK
Tributes of Respect Show How

Correspondence OF The Associated
Press.)
Toxic. Japan. December 6.-Via San
Francisco. December 29.-The sudden
death Of Colonel Alfred E. Buck, u. S.
Minister to Japan on the 4th instant,
from heart failure. occurred while ne
was attending a duck hunt as the guest
of the Japanese Emperor. The duck
hunting parties are annual state af-
fairs. to which all the highest diplo-
matte and state officials are invited.
The. party arrived at the Shin Hama
preserve at 1890 a. M. and at once
proceeded to the meeting Of the ducks.
Col. Buck was standing at the west
ern side of a pond. net in hand. wait
ing for a signal. when he suddenly
staggered and fell to the ground. He
was at once conveyed to the rest house
where various means were used to call
him back to life. A physician arrived
from Gyotoku and attempted to re-
store consciousness by artificial respir-
alton. and stimulating injections. but
in vain. Later Surgeon Nagary of the
military hospital at Konodai. arrived
on horse back. but his treatment was
unavailing also.
In the afternoon the body of the min
lister was carried to the legation on i
stretcher. The wide sympathy shown
by the Japanese government and the
press speaks strongly for the high es"
TEEN in which the dead diplomat was
held. A large numbe of tho
diplomatic corps and Japanese officials
visited the legation to express their
condolences
The remains of the minister we're
embalmed and the funeral service
which will be of a n impressive charac-
ter, will be held at Trinity Cathedral,
Toxic, on next Monday morning, re
Sth instant. Afterwards the remains
will be escorted by a japanese guard
of honor to the station en- route 20
Yokohoma. where thew will be met by
citizens. Escorted by a corps of
Japanese marines. the funeral process
sion will move to the United states
naval hospital where the body will be
deposited in the mortary vault pend
ing the arrival Of the steamer Korea,
on which they will be conveyed to San
Francisco. The Korea is scheduled 10
leave Yokohoma on the oath instant.
Mrs. Buck will accompany the body
to its last resting place which, it is
said, will be at Washington, D. G.

".Golden Rule' Jones Says He is

Chicago. December 21.-"Theodore
Roosevelt as a man, is greater than the

government of the United States was
unable to restore peace in the anthra-
cite region, Roosevelt, not as president,
but as a man, suggested a rational way
to settle the u The man triumph
ed and the problem was solved"
Thus spoke Samuel NJ. Golden Rule)
Jones, mayor of Toledo, O., before the
Chicago Peace Society today. He
sought to show that force of arms was
futile; that war was i~nexcusable, and
that killing in battle was murder.
Mayor n declared, however, that
he was an optimist, and in spite of re-
cent vars, he said the world was bet
ter of than il was 100 years ago and
was continually improving. He criti-
cised Major General Young, who, at a
banquet in Cleveland. on Saturday
night, spoke of the necessity Of military
force to maintain the supremacy OF the
nations commerce. mo one will &C.
cuse me of being unpatriotic," said Mr..
Jones, but / would not raise a boy TO

ROOSEVELT AS ARBITRATOR.

That Is a del.cate position in which
the European powers nave placed Pres
ident Roosevelt by stating that they
prefer to have him arbitrate their dis
putes with Venezuela. instead of refer
ring them to The Hague tribunal as Mr..
Roosevelt suggested. AS our Washing
ton dispatches say. such course might
have the effect of making our president
q judge of the matters In controversy
until he had passed upon them and
fhen enforce upon him the additional
duty Of enforcing his judgments as the
high constable of these United States.
which. of course would be very embar-
RAISING as well as quite unfortunate.
for 1t would be calculated to place our
government in position of ad~judicating
IL ough its executive representative. a
case in which it Is vitality interested
and would make the president liable 70
the criticism, whether just Or entirely
~unfounded. of deciding this important
case in his own favor. or that of his
people. which would be the same thing,
as far as the European powers are con-
eerned.
If this arbitration is to be a f-nl set
tiement of the matters in dispute and
to establish a precedent in such cases
We do not think President Roosevelt
ought to accept the position of arbitra-
tor. While We have perfect faith in
his integrity and know that he would
act with all fairness and honesty in the
matter, we hold that it is asking too
much Of President Roosevelt to insist
that he should accept this position.
Should he. with all the facts laid before
him decide honestly and justly hat Eu-
ropean powers we're in the right, there
would be a howl OF Indignation from Il
certain class of our citizens. Mr.. Roose-
Welt would be denounced for his de-
oision by people who would not take
the trouble to separate such action on
his part as a judge from that c. oil
tician or q diplomat who was trying in
a political fight, or contest in diploma
cy to gain the advantage of his oppo-
nent. While not a follower Of Re-
welt in his political tenets, we have re-
gard for him as a man and respect for
him as the chief executive of this nation
and We do not want to see MIN placed
IN any such unpleasant position where
he may be ~unjustly censured on one
side or the other for acting according
to the dictates of his own conscience
and in conformity with the evidence
placed before him We hope President
Roosevelt will decline to accept the po-
d-on.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

The consolidation OF public school
districts in the state is being effected
by the superintendent of public instruc-
ton and his subordinates in a most sat
isfactory manner. According to Super
intendent Joyner's report. the number
Of school disctricts in the state have
been reduced two hundred an sixty-two
In the last twelve months. There are
still toe many districts and there should
be continued reduction in the number.
Every consolidation of two weak, sparse
iy settled districts means a strengthen
ing and improvement of the public
school in the new district. The school
law provides that no district shall BE-
laid of containing less than sixty-five
children of school age. Superintendent
Joyner = finds that, Notwithstanding
the great amount Of consolidation of
small districts that has been made.
there are still many which do not come
mp to the requirements of the state law.
and there will be additional consolida-
o OF course some inconvenience
will arise from these consolidat lions.
Some pupils will be thrown further
from the public schools which they
must attend, but this drawback is
greatly counterbalanced by the many
and more important advantages to be
derived from the change, such as better
and more comfortable school houses,
better equipments and superior teach
ers. These latter are the great needs
OF our present school s~stem. and until
our people reach better financial con-
ditions these advantages must be See
cured by consolidation of school dis
tricts instead Of by increasing the APP
propriations and taxes to sucn pm -
tent as to give the mall districts all the
advantages to be derived by this con-
soIidation.
Professor Joyner and his c%o-laborers
in the field of public education In this
state are doing a noble work. Thew
are utilizing every means in their
hand~ and every privilege the state
law grants them to improve the pub
He school system of the state and to
wipe cut the stain of illiteracv W.

earnestly to this end. Then let us all

MORE NEW JERSEY JUSTICE.

Under the above headlines The Char
lotte News makes the following COM
ment on a recent decision Of a.New
Jersey court:
They do things in New Jersey diff
ferert fr m the way they are one
where. and those who presume that It
is a state famed alone TOR the hugene ~
of its mosquitoes are far from the truth.
One of the moss peculiar of Jersey pc
culiarities has just come to public no
tice. One R.. w. smith. owned a
piece Of land, and a telephone COMPANY
attempted TO stretch a wire across that
land to reach a certain destina ton. Mr..
Smith vent to law about II. The re-
enjoined from ~stringing its wire across
Mr.. Smiths land. the court holding that
he was the owner of the air above the
soil. The court did not say how far
above the land-if the telephone COM
pany had procured longer poles. that
might bring on a more interesting
phase Of the question"
Now IL Brother Dowd would carry
his mind back TO the days when he pc
rused Blackstone's Commentaries and
repeat to himself that maxim of the
common law: "Cujus est solum. eius
usque ad coelur." which, we believe.
means in plain English that the man
who OWNS the land owns also everything
above it up to the heavens. he would
not find room for surprise at the de-
cision of his New Jersey judge. but
see that he was reverting to or carry
ing ont n fundamental principles Of
the law f England and Of those states
Of this union which have adopted the
British common law as the basis of
their laws.
