Sheep On Public Lands.

Governor Gording. of Idaho, is awake
to the damage being done in that state,
as elsewhere. by the unregulatel
grazing OF sheep on the public lands,
especially by the turning of flocks on
the ranges in the spring before the
grass is in condition for grazing. He
fayoTs governmental supervision.
Better FAR make such use of the land,
BY securing its occupancy by small
farmers. as shall render that style Of
sheepraising impossibie An acre OF
irrigated lands will raise more fattea-
ing grass for sheep than many acres Of
range; and multitude of small
farmers, each caring for small flock
would soon bring Idaho's wool crop to
a figure far beyond the present Then,
too, we should have no more pitifm
stories of sheep killed by thousands
through exposure on the ranges.

one of the parkways for educational
purposes. The Harvard medical
school, whose marble buildings, upon
which work was begun in September,
1903, are soon to be occupied by
throng of graduate and postgraduate
students, is largely the product of the
gifts of millionaire New Workers and
Bostonians. j. Pierpont Morgan, for
example, gave the three buildings at
the back of the group. Mrs. Coils P.
Huntington and David Sears provided
the funds for the buildings in the fore
ground, while for general equipment a
million dollars more were received
from John D. Rockefeller, nearly $780,
900 from Henry L. Pierce of Boston,
and about half a million from other
sources. The total endowment of the
school when it first occupies its new
quarters viii be more than five million
dollars.

THE PREAMBLE.

Wall Street Journal-"Dolliver, -
said Senator Knox to the Iowa sena-
tor. whom he met in the marble room,
are you going to repeal the constitu-
ton totay in this railroad rate bust
res:
only a small part of it," Dolliver
replied
We'll" said Knox, be sure and
leave the preamble. That will be
enough to do business on in this
crisis"
Senator Knox no doubt intended
this remark as a witticism, but he
never spoke a truer word. 1t is a
fact that If the whole constitution of
the United States were lost with the
exception of the preamble, that would
be sufficient for the people of the
United States to do business on.
The preamble is the most import
ant part of the constitution. All else
is mere detail That contains the
vital principle. The preamble reads
as follows:
1--WE, the people OF the United
States, in order to form a more per-
feet union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility. provide for the
common defense, promote the general
welfare and secure the blessings Of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity,
do ordain and establish this constitu-
ton for the United States or Amer
lea "
In interpreting and enforcing the
constitution it should be interpreted
and enforced III the spirit of that
broad and .beral preamble.
