Law Is King.

It ought to be easier to get rid Of
bad law than to depose bad king and
also easier to amend an imperfect law
than to reform faulty monarch. Law
is the ultimate authority in this coun-
try, and theoretically the people bow
to 1t, but practically there are 50
many evasions for what seem to be
good reasons that the majesty of the
law is violated. To evade particular
law because it is bad casts discredit
upon the principle of law. Comment.
ing upon the general disposition to
make new laws, the Saturday Evening
Post says:
We do not need new laws; we have too
many already. What we need Is the SEN
sible and honest enforcement Of existing
laws And we shall never be greatly bet
ter off until we shut our ears against re-
formers shouting for new legislation and
tricky politicians calling for new grants
Of power when their only purpose Is to
distract public attention from the fact
that they already have under existing law
use it. Sensible judges with fogless minds,
sensible executives with courage and hon
esty-that Is our need. And swelling thu
statute books only postpones the filing q
that need.
It has been held that the only way
to kill a bad law is to enforce 1t and
make it unpopular. That is a drastic
method, but it inculcates the idea that
law is to be obeyed because it is law
Our executives, judges and lawmakers
are themselves accountable to law, 50
there can be no reasonable pleading OF
discrimination. A perfect law may DC
impossible, but perfect respect for the
intent Of law will do away with many
Of the evils that may come from lm'
perfect statutes.

At the instance of Representative
Jones, the secretary of the interior
has granted authority to the North
Yakima Indians in eastern Washing
ton to lease their unimproved allotted
lands, amounting to about 1900 acres,

ago Representative Jones laid before
the secretary a letter from Mayor C.
A. Fletcher of North Yakima, on be-

to erect beet-sugar factory at North
Yakima. The company, however, will
it will be furnished with a stated
quantity of beets, and inquiry develops
the fact that there is not sufficient
land tributary to North Yakima on
which the beets can be grown unless it
is possible to use a part of the Indian
lands on the reservation.
The Indians, or many Of them, are
willing to lease their lands for this
purpose, and the department is willing
they should do so for a stated period,
and at a rate not less than 81 per
acre per year. The department fur
Their insists that Indians shall be given
employment in the beet fields, and will
require lessees of each 80-acre tract
to put up improvements to the value
of $500, such as a house, barn, fences,
ETC., such improvements to be of per-
manent character and become the
property of the Indian owner at the
end of the ten-year lease. 1t is also
stipulated that at the end of the 10
years at least 10 of each 80 acres shall
be planted in alfalfa, for the benefit
of the Indians.

TO BUILD PHILIPPINE ROAD.
BaIIaine Brothers Company Will Sub
NIT Bid.

SEATTLE, April 21-Jonn E. Bal
laine, who organized and promoted the
Alaska Central railroad, has returned
from the east with the information that
he has been authorized to submit a bid
to the government for the construction
of the entire 1000 miles of Philippine
railroad, the bonds for which, by con-
gressional action, are to be guaran-
teed by the Philippine government.
He says he is backed by Chicago and
twin city capital, but he refuses to
state who his associates are. He de-
clares, however that they have agreed
to furnish the entire amount of funds
needed for construction and put the
work through with the utmost possible
speed. He expects to leave for the
islands about the middle of June ar
irving at Manila July 10.
Il feel very hopeful of getting the
contract from the Philippine govern
ment," he said. 1.-The bid we are go
ing to submit is favorable to the gov
eminent. But a New York syndicate,
backed by very influential people, is
also going to bid on the work, and
there may be others
Mr.. Ballaine gave the impression
that the Hill interests would hold stock
in the construction company and that
it is the intention of the Great North
ern Steamship company to bid for the
business of the islands with the Pa
cific coast.
Mr. Ballaine is a director of the
Alaska Central railroad, the Tanana
Railroad & Construction company, the
Washington Trust company, and the
Bank of Seward, and is the leading
spirit in the firm of Ballaine Brothers
company, railroad contractors.

SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR ALL
AROUND "ARTIST" WHO
is COMING WEST.
He Makes a Practice of Borrowing
Instruments and Music and
Then Decamps.

There is a musician travelling to-
wards the setting sun who will have a
corner on all the loose instruments
along his line of travel, unless he is
headed off soon, and bandmen have
been warned to watch out for him. He
is described as having a peculiar af-
Fiction that gives him a cramp in his
hand every time he borrows an instru-
ment and makes it impossible for MIN
to return it.
The loudest wall comes from Edo
RADIO, Kansas, WHERE the musician
stayed one week and cleared up enough
money to carry MIN a long way to-
wards the coast. The Eldorado folks,
while approaching the fact that they
had entertained in their midst genius
in his line, sound a note of warning to
all musicians ito whom these presents
shall come, greeting to watch out for
the man with the strong grip and the
short memory. His record of one
week in Eldorado is set out in tab
1oj,1 form as follows.

great musician tell of his experiences

black coat and vest belonging to the
star boarder also vanished.
Laugh is on the boy who was select

chest had been so inflated.
The musician with the deft touch is
described as a German of slight build.
nervous manner, gray eyes, smooth
shaver, weighs 100 pounds, and has
strong grip for anything ne can lift.
Something of an Actor.
The missing man speaks rapidly
when he is talking for money, and
rolls his RS like a tragedian. He is
a good violinist. He can also toy with
the strings of mandolin, guitar or
banjo, and is always willing to fit in
and do a little 'close harmony work
in the back end of a saloon. He plays
the cornet and cello passingly well,
and says ne can also make a good
showing on the horns and saxophone,
though his Eldorado friends nave only
his word for that.
The Grant musician made such a
hit in his one weeks stand in Eldorado
that the farmer boys are anxious to
see him again. For that reason re-
ward is offered for mis- detention.
A man in Anadonla wrote the Ell
dorado folks that their friend had once
served a term in the penitentiary at
Deer Lodge, Mont, and the Eldorado
musicians say they would like to send
him to the Kansas penitentiary at
Lansing, just to prove to him that
while Eldorado may be easy, the arm
of the law is long and powerful.

1.-THE Tribune Fresh Air Fund was the first
movement Of the kind in the country. Every
other one here or elsewhere, has been started
IN imitation Of this pioneer. The Tribune cordi-
ally welcomes ali co-laborers in the field, but,
without wishing TO depreciate in the least the
work of others, thinks it its duty to remind
readers that The Tribune Fresh Air Fund is so
far as known. the only one in which absolutely
every dollar contributed by the public goes dl-
rectly TO the work Of sending a poor child TO
the country, keeping him there for two weeks
and bringing him back again. Every IS ihsures
such vacation to at least one cahfld. Taeri
have been years in which. owing TO the magni-
tude of the operations OF The Tribune Fresh Air
Fund, such result was insured by every s2.5O.
No collectors are ever employed. and all collec-
tions made for II are purely voluntary. All ex-
penses for organization agents and the general
machinery Of the charity are privately betrayed
by The Tribune itself and by the trustees of the
fund. There are percentages to collectors to
come out Of the contributions of the public and
no payments TO agents. managers, secretary or
others. Every dollar goes straight TO the benefit
OF child.l
