The Late DIR. Hatch.

The death of DR.. L. p. Hatch in
California was noted in T h Jour-
n a the other day. DR.. Hatch was
for many years a resident Of Mime
apolis and will be remembered by
many friends and acquaintances here.
He was state ornithologist and pre-
pared a. very interesting volume on
the Birds of Minnesota" published
by the state. Thru the increase in
the interest in bird study that has
been noticeable in the last few years,
a great many Minneapolis people be-
came acquainted with DR.. Hatchs
work on the birds and came to ad-
mire and respect the old man for the
kindly nature his writings on the
birds seemed to reveal: 2
Even those who are not especially
interested in bird study will get ar
interesting glimpse of the wild Min
nesota Of thirty or forty years age
in glancing thru the pages of DR.
Hatch's book. The frequent refer
ences to game birds that are nov
unknown, where they were very com
mon in his time, is striking re
hinder Of how rapidly the frontier
has given place in Minnesota to thu
conditions Of civilized life and tanned
and subdued nature that exist in al
long-settled communities.

WHAT 0THER PEOPLE THINK
!, sunday. at Excelsior.
To the Editor of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal
I heard Mr.. Morrill,, who spoke at the
casino Sunday of the innocent amuse-
ments here in Excelsior on Sundays
These innocent amusements in respect
to the saloons is to allow them to run
openly on Sundays and to sell to whom
soever they please. AS to the casino, it
runs it's billiards. pool and bowling from
early in the morning until II o'clock
Sunday night Do the parents of young
boys who live here or who come here to
spend the summers consider it innocent
amusement for their boys to spend every
dollar they can get and their time from
early Sunday morning until II o'clock at
night in billiard and poolrooms and bowl
ing alleys? This may be innocent an1use-
.ment for some people,, but is not so con-
,sidered by many parents OF the young
boys. II that article in Monday evening
Journal was written to scare the law
abiding people Of Excelsior it is a de-
cided failure. We would much prefer the
saloon question to go to the supreme
court, and we would say to the saloon
element that there will be no letup. on
the enforcement of the Sunday law as to
the sale Of liquor in Excelsior, and It
there is any more violation OF the law by
the Excelsior saloonkeepers there will be
detectives put on their tracks.

had some experience in fighting saloon

Ener Of Aitkin, in a long article to which
the Pioneer Press gave great prominence,
attempts to show that the appropriation
for that purpose Is not sufficient to en-
able the state auditor to detect all the
trespasses on state lands. But Mr.. War
ner's defense does not go to the merits
Of the case. The report made by Mr.
johnson finds no fault with Mr. Dunn
for not catching the trespassers, but shows
that he did not make them settle accord
ing. to law after they had been caught
No appropriation was needed to compe
the trespa ssers to comply with the Law
/ after they had been detected after the
amount Of timber they had stolen hat
been ascertained and they had owned
their guilt by showing their Willingness
to escape the penalty of the law by com.
promising on the price of the stolen tim.
Der. What calls for explanation is The
fact that the trespassers after they hat
been caught and virtually convicted wer,
| permitted to settle for from one-l1alf tt
one-third of what the law required th'
auditor to collect from them in lieu o

Constitutional Rights.

Before adjourning for the summer
the federal supreme court yesterday
handed down some decisions involving
the question of the right of trial by
jury Of an accused person demanding
it in criminal case in the Philip
pines. :
The decisions are only an echo of
the courts determinations in the
group Of insular cases which excited
voluminous public comment in 1900
and 1901. The, principle is held that
the constitution does not carry rights
such as trial by jury. without legisla-
ton comforting the right by the con-
gress of the United States. Under the
existing law for the Philippines, the
right Of trial by jury in criminal cases
does not appertain to the Filipinos.
Justice Harlan, In his dissenting
opinion, reiterated much that he OPP
posed to the majority view Of the
court in the Porto Rico case. Harlan
predicted then that the majority opin-
ion meant radical and mischievous
change in our system of government,
and that such change would mean the
passage from the era Of constitutional
liberty, guarded and protected by a
written constitution, into an era OF
legislative absolutism in respect of
pies who love freedom" Yesterday he
declared that the opinion of the court
reiterating the former view Of the po-
tentiality Of congress was, in effect, ar
amendment to the federal constitution
In the decisions bearing upon the
status of the Philippines and the
Filipinos, the supreme court clearly
decided that the insular acquisitions
are subject to congress- and that their
| citizens do not necessarily become
citizens Of the United States, and dc
! not become entitled to the immuni
ties and privileges Of citizens Of the
| United States until congress chooses
to enact for them such immunitie
and privileges. Thus, trial by jur.
is not permitted in the Philippines
and may not be until congress, act
ing on the terms of the treaty o
Paris Of 1898, determines the civi
rights and political status Of the ma
tive inhabitants.
In the cases Of Louisiana an
Florida, the treaties of transfer slip
ulated that the inhabitants should b

Seymour Eaton was born in Cana
began writing on business subjects.
A book entitled Business Forms
was one of his first productions, and
another volume on How to Do Bust
ness has attained a national circula-
ton. Then he wrote a series Of school
text books and became a publisher
in this field in Boston. Most of these
text books are in use to-day.
The Booklovers' Library was the
outgrowth of an idea that Mr.. Eaton
had carried about several years.
When the plan was put into opera
ton in 1900 it was literally adver-
tised in advance, and sWhen the first
libraries were opened in New York,
Philadelphia and Boston there was a
rush of patrons beyond what had
been provided for.
Mr.. Eaton says that he has been
advertising twenty years and knows
nothing about it. It was suggested
that if he would write an article upon
what he should like to know about
advertising it ought to be of value to
business men. He has promised to
do this. &c.
One principle he has learned, how
ever, is expressed in his aphorism,
Good advertising is news" The
sheer interest of advertising must be
strong enough to secure attention
among the fires, murders, wars and
| rumors of wars in the daily papers,
Much of the advertising of to-day
| is put in front of us SO that we may
| by chance stumble over it, he says.
TT is showed at us as street hawkers
shove gewgaws in front Of passers-
by, or so muddled with pictures and

styles Of, type are used to make an
impression on people who all their
lives are accustomed to reading from
type of one size and style at time.
advertising is necessary not only
to the merchant, but to the consumer,
and it deserves better treatment: It
should have ginger, and dash, and
spirit. It shouldn't have to be ped

Mr.. Eaton testified that, though a
magazine publisher himself, he has
usually secured the largest and speed

An Official Record Under

The second report of the public
examiner on the auditors office is a
clear and concise document The facts
are set out good deal as if presented
in a lawyers brief. Reduced to still
lower terms and stated in plain Eng
lish. the proposition is simply this:
The state Of Minnesota had timber
to sell. 1t provided by law system
Of permits under which timber upon
certain specified tracts might be cut
at a specified rate per 1000 feet. A
general estimate was made as to the
amount of timber, but such estimates
are not to be relied upon to protect
the states interest and the state pro-
vided. in addition, that there should
be registered within each permit
log mark by which the timber cut
from the particular piece of land COW
cred by the permit might be identified
wherever found, scaled and charged
for at the price per 1000 feet agreed
@upon. This is supposed to be the
most effective scheme yet devised for
protecting the timber of the state and
securing payment therefor It is re-
garded by the state as important and
is set out extensively and in detail in
the law. The directions as to the en-
forcement of these regulations are
very specific, leave no room for doubt
and provide no excuse for failure to
comply. ..-r.. .....
1t appears, however, by the records
in the auditors office, that out of 313
of such permits issued by Mr.. Dunn
2S6 were not recorded until after the
first logging season following their is
suance had passed., eight were never
recorded at ALL 143 contained no log
mark for the first year, IT'S contained
no log mark for the second year, and
year. In 90 cases a member of the flFm
or corporation cutting the timber was
taken as surety on his own bond-all
OF which was contrary to the law.
1t is the business Of the surveyor
general to receive from the auditor
official notice of these permits with
the registered log marks and to scale
the logs as basis of settlement fol
them. 1t appears that there is nc
way ny WHICH, Tie surveyor GENERA
can officially know, and probably ne
way in which he can find out in man!
instances, what timber is cut, or how
a.much, except upon the information
supposed to be furnished by these los
marks. When no such log marks arr
required or registered he has no mean
of knowing what timber is taken from
state lands.
Now the probabilities are that
will be quite necessary for Mr.. Dunn
to say something more about this mat
ter than simply to denounce the pub

CONSIDERATION FOR THE PRISONER

Senator Dolliver of Iowa tells this story
on himself: "I reached certain small
town during a campaign" said he and
found that the proprietor Of the hotel
where usually stopped was in Jail. He
had gone there of his own accord rather
than pay a Judgment which he considered
unjust. He asked the sheriff please to let
him out for two hours to hear his old
friend Doliver speak The sheriff agreed.
and sent an order for the release of the
prisoner for two hours for that purpose.
Then he considerably added at the end
of the order: THE rest of your punish
ment is remitted"

Of citizens Of the United States, by
congress. Congress, in most of the
cases of incorporated territory, was
in no hurry to admit the inhabitants
to citizenship. Alaska, New Mexico
and Arizona are among the notable
cases of long-delayed extension of the
constitution. Congress has legislated
as it pleased for them. At the same
time, the people, under the jurisdicA
the principles Of the constitution, are
entitled to the protection Of life, lib
erty and property. Our government
has strictly followed it's announced
policy Of governing the Filipinos as
their needs require, instead Of apply
ing to the variegated natives of the
Philippines - some civilized, some
semicivilized, some savages to the
manner, and instinct belonging-the
rights, privileges and immunities OF
the citizens of the states.
Under this manifestly rational pol
icy Of gradually progressive legisla-
ton, the Philippines will continue to
be governed as the needs Of the in
habitants and our own interests re
quire. A tariff policy or a shipping
| policy which proves hostile to the
| local insular needs and real interests
and to the national needs and inter-
ests, will have to be abandoned. We
have started out on the policy Of gov
erning the Philippines for their best
interests, and 1t is extremely prob
able that the people of the United
States will not tolerate the introduc.
ton of any other policy.
