has no right to lease the land of his
minor children. unless ne has by due
course OF legal procedure been made the
legal guardian. Cases where a parent
has been made the legal guardian of
his children are rare in the extreme;
hence thousands OF acres allotted to
minors that have been leased by their
parents have been let irregularly and
the leases will not stand.
In the Greek nation there are 3,072.-
S13 acres of land. OF this 100000
acres have been leased 20 outsiders. It
is roughly estimated only about 100000
acres are leased legally and the re-
mainder is now held By persons who
can be moved by the minors going be-
fore an Indian agent and demanding
possession OF their amount.

Indian policeman to put men off the
land allotted to three minors and leased

policemen. The injunction was denied
and the land will be restored to the

This declaration did not surprise any
one, it being well known how strong
an anti-nepotis Pope Leo has always
been. When the pontiff alluded to his
personal fortune. he meant his patri
mony of which almost two-thirds came
into his hands thru the death of his
uncles and brothers. Besides this he
had what was called prelatura, sum
of 10000 scudi, which for that period
was a large amount and to which In
papal times was entitled any member
of a family embracing the priesthood
This was given in order to put him In
a position to continue his career. In
1881 Pope Leo had all his fortune es-
timated and divided by Cardinal Lam
REM, among his nieces and nephews
who Were obliged 10 sign a paper
declaring they received all they We're
entitled TO. When the pope's brother,
Cardinal Giuseppe died in 1890, Pope
Leo informed his relatives that he was
keeping all his valuable library intact,
leaving them their share in money and
obliging them TO sign another declara-
ton that they had received all they
could claim.

and is thus held fully responsible for
the management of the institution in
every way. The proportion of the ex-
penses of the institutions which may
be used in salaries is fixed by the state
board. In most of the states the total
of salaries is kept down to about 33
per cent Of the entire income Of the
institutions. In Iowa this has been
allowed to run little above the pro-
portion. At independence the proper
ton runs up to near 40 per cent. The
income Of the institution is fixed by
law. and over this the board has no
control. All expenses must be paid
from the per capita allowance. For
merly the state institutions received Sl6
a month, but this has been reduced.
Despite continual reduction, and the
increased cost of everything, the insti-
tutions are well managed. II wages
and salaries were to be increased at
the institutions. it would have to come
out of the expense for food and clothing
and be directly at the expense OF the
inmates. The board merely fixes
maximum wage, which has not been de-
creased. This Is $50 a month. All at
tendants and employees get their board
and living. In addition they get the
advantage of wholesale process on their
clothing, which is the only item In
which they are interested affected by
the high prices. All reports from In
dependence are to the effect that while
there was some discomfort on account
of the trouble with few Of the male
attendants, the institution did not suf-
fer and the broken ranks were soon
filed.
