slaughtering of seals at their breeding
places, and the greed of gain of the
commercial company marketing these
pelts is probably as much to blame for
the decrease of the seal herd as the
depredations of outsiders. Our hands
are not clean, and the interests in
volved are far more private than
public.
1t is probable, however, that the seal
cannot be saved from extinction with
out the common consent of nations.
Just as the buffalo disappeared from
the plains when everybody began hunt
ing, just as the oil-bearing whales have
been hunted down until they must be
sought in far Arctic seas and would
now be almost non-existent were it not
for the substitution of kerosene for
whale oil, so the seal must vanish when
not only the seas surrounding his
haunts, but every mile of his well
known waterway in his migrations
north and south with the changing sea-
sons are patroned by boats filled with
his eager hunters.
1t is entirely improbable that Great
Britain and Russia and Japan will en-
ter into the agreement proposed, in
volving as it would the costly policing
of the seas, simply to keep their
own subjects from making few
dollars at our expense. For all pur-
poses the most sensible proposition is
that which has been urged at times;
namely, for the United States to order
the killing off of the entire seal herd
at the first opportunity, and the imme-
date removal of the cause of disputes
and hard feeling by the deliberate ex-
termination of the fur bearing seal, in
stead of permitting that to be accom-
plished by the present gradual but no
less certain process.

AT St. Paul Theaters

One of the choice opportunities of
the English grand opera season will
be the sacred concert of Wagner's
great festival opera "ParsifaI' on Sun
day evening, April 8, at the Metro
politan. "Othello" will be repeated to-
night, "Lohengrin' will be the bill at
the Saturday matinee, and Carmen"
Will be presented again tomorrow
evening.
The grand sacred concert will be a
hitting close to the first weeks roper
toire affording music lovers one of the
rareSt advantages of the season. All
of the great solo and concerted num-
bers in the opera will be sung by Mr..
Savage's corps of principals and choral
body of seventy voices, assisted by his
full grand opera orchestra of forty
musicians under Elliott Schenck, the
Wagnerian conductor. The great
scene of "ParsifaP' given in English so
that all may understand, will have an
educational value not offered when
"Parsifa" is given in foreign tongue
Whether Francis Wilson made "Er-
minie," or whether "Erminie" made
Francis Wilson, is a question which
some musical writer's as well as dra-
matte, have discussed at length. One
thing, however, is positive, that the
two will ever be connected. Jakobow-
ski & Paulton's opera keeps closely to
the truly comic type and that is it's
strongest point outside of it's music
which is bright, sparkling and easily
remembered. The situations are COM
zeal, the wit clean cut and easy to I'M
derstand.
Several of those who appeared in
the original cast have since become
stars, but nevertheless Messrs. Nixon
& Zimmerman have given the opera its
most elaborate revival and have sur
rounded Mr.. Wilson with a company
of star players. Among the star play
ers are names of Marguerite Sylvia
Jessie Bartlett Davis, William BrOd-
erick, Jennie Weathersby, Clara Belle
Jerome, Sig. Perugini, William c.
Weeden, Robert Broderick and others
whose names stand for all that is
good in comic opera.
Three more performances Of WED
ded and Parted will be given at the
Grand this week, a performance to-
night, a matinee tomorrow and the
final performance tomorrow night.
''The Stain Of Guilt" will be seen al
the Grand next week. 1t is said to be
an exciting melodrama.

THE CALL OF THE WILD.

IL Wilt VT WIEGa
Fighting with savages, the white
man in the majority of cases becomes
a savage. 1t is this savagery which
contact with savages thrusts upon him
that constitutes the white mans real
burden today If, in his intercourse
with savages, he was able always to
emphasize the fact of his own COM
plete civilization, the burden of an in
ferior races future would not weigh
so heavily upon his shoulders. If the
white man could be absolutely sure of
his civilization there would be no need
to fear for it. But always there is this
depressing atavistic tendency, this
ready response to the call of savagery
which besets civilizations onward
march with obstacles.
Ever since civilization began to as
sert itself these reversions have oc-
Cured. The history Of this country is
replete with them from the time the
Spaniards established themselves as
rulers over the natives down to the
the part Of the black race have been
met with equal savagery on the part of
the white. And to go outside this
country for examples, there is the rec
ord of the white man, the Germans,
the French and the BeIgfans in the
Congo Free State and in German
Southwest Africa In the latter dis
trict the Germans are not carrying on
their war like civilized white men, but
like the savages with whom they are
contending. White atrocity has match
ed black atrocity. In the Congo Free
State, no matter what explanation King
Leopold may make, the fact cannot be
disputed that the white man has
equaled and frequently surpassed the
savage in the devilish ingenuity of the
tortures he has inflicted.
Maeterlinck in his essay, 'In Praise
of the Sword" writes: eve do not
know the offensive tricks which The
elements or the other forces of the
universe have in store for us; and woe
to us if one day they find us entirely
devoid of the spirit Of vengeance,
mistrust, anger brutality and of many
other faults, which are all very blame
worthy from the human point of view,
but which, much more than the most
loudly extoIled abstemious virtues, have
helped us to conquer the great enemies
Of our kind" This is absurd advice
today, for there is no evidence to prove
that vengeance, anger and brutality are
disappearing. On the contrary, the task
Of civilization is, as it has ever been,
to suppress them. In many parts Of
the world today there is danger that
the line which divides civilization from
savagery will be completely obliter-
ated.
Of course, civilization must triumph,
and does triumph, but the pessimist
might be justified in declaring that this
is because it has might on it's side
instead Of right. 1t has taught the
white man how to take care of himself
and to defend himself without eradicat-
ing any of those primitive instincts
which are invariably aroused when he
has savage to deal with. But it's I'M
relenting war against the savage is q.
war Of self defense even when civiliza-
ton is the aggressor, for not until the
primitive savage ceases to be can civ
ilization be sure of itself. The wild
will continue to call it back.

Contemporary Comment
Preachers and Newspapers.

Ordinarily the preacher who speaks
against the newspaper for not giving
more space to church and religious
news is inconsistent. Times beyond
count he himself goes to the newspaper
for his text. Why, with the Bible in
hand, Should he take up some local sit
uatIon or political intrigue, or chance
happening in the worlds busy life, and
talk to the theme to the exclusion of
the book of books? Why else, unless
upon his hearers? And if it has pail
ed upon holders of pews in his church,
shall 1t be made a news feature to the
world when a convention of such
churches is assembled for doctrinal de-
bate and routine business ?-Chicago

TITLE TO PANAMA
CANAL is CLEARED
French Court Decides Against the Re-
public of Colombia.

PARIS, March S1-The first civil
tribunal Of the Seine today decided the
case of the Republic of Colombia
against the Panama Canal company in
favor Of the defendants. The deci-
sion holds that the complaint of CO.
lombia is not receivable and condemns
the plaintiffs to pay the costs of the
action. This decision removes the le-
gal obstacles in the way of the trans
fer of the canal concession from the
company to the United States.
Although no formal notice of appeal
was given, it was stated that Colombia
and BOnaparte Wyse, the original con-
cessionaire, would appeal. 1t is said
that an appeal will not cause delay,
since today's decision is held to con-
firm the cOmpany's full right to trans
fer to the United States.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 81
A new bill for the government and
control of the Panama canal zone was
introduced in the senate today by Sem
ator Kittredge from the committee on
1nterOceanic canals. The measure will
be reported to the senate and it's en-
actment urged at the first favorable
opportunity. The bill follows closely
the original Kittredge bill. though
many changes have been made in the
form of government and in relation
to sanitation Of the zone. Legislative
powers are vested in the canal COM
mission, which is given authority to
raise and appropriate revenues. The
taxes and customs collected are to be
retained by the commission for the
payment, so far as they are adequate,
of the expenses of the commission and
the government of the zone.
The extension of the laws of the
United States to the canal zone in
prohibited, except as provided in the
canal bill or by legislative act of the
canal commission.
All franchises or concessions granted
by the commission must be approved
by the president. The commission is
authorized to exclude undesirable per-
sons who by their presence tend to
increase disorder. All laws enacted
by the commission shall be reported
to congress. The president is given
authority to suspend such laws as he
may think unwise.
Provision is made for the organiZa-
ton of a police force. There will be
one judicial district to be known as
the district court of the United States
for the canal zone and for the appoint
ment of one judge at the salary of &c.
900 a year. Appeals from this court
must be taken to the Second judicial
circuit of the United States.
