IDE HAS TILT WITH
PHILIPPINE PRELATE

Manila, June 2s.----The publication in
the United States of letter of Arch
bishop Harty of Feb 20 to Governor
General .Ide, concerning the submission
to the courts of the question regarding
the title to the San Juan de Dlos prop
erty, led Governor Ide to give out his
reply to Archbishop Harty. Governor
lde took umbrage at this portion OF
the archbishop's letter:
Before going to court as peace.
full American citizen, l shall have had
read simultaneously in 250 pulpits
solemn protest against this attempted
confscation. This protest will go thru
the archipelago and reach the White
House. It will subsequently be taken
up by the American people, This step
remains to recall your order
Governor Ide says:
GA portion of your letter produced
d painful impression upon me. It
seemed to contain a threat that the
| protest you will circulate thruout tho
Philippines will excite hostilities
against the government. l agree that
| If your action goes thru the islands,
it will reach the doors of the White
House, but the result would be far
different than the Gle you have In
Yiew.''
The dispute relates to properties at
San Juan de Dios. The hospital is
claimed as the property of the govern
ment. It was used by the troops dur
ing the occupation of Manila. J
! The claims Of the church are based
on a transfer Of the property to the
Franciscan friars during tie Spanish
regime. The American officials claim
that the property was supported by ths
Spanish and was owned by the Spanish
government and now belongs to tha
United States government.

1.-THE NEW EARTH" by w. S. Har-
wood, formerly of Minneapolis, is "a re-
cital Of the triumphs of modern agricul-
ture in America" To read it is to be
deeply impressed with the tremendous
changes that have been made in agricul
tural methods and results, and still fur
ther with the changes that are yet to be
made. The formulation Of what has been
done in book Of moderate compass Is
of great1value. It furnishes new start
ing point and a new vantage ground from
which to measure future progress. In
giving such book. Mr.. Harwood has,
therefore, done a real service to agricul-
ture and to all interested therein which
means to the race >H5&ss t.E
Something of the scope, OF Mr., Har-
woods book may be gathered from men

ing, animal husbandry, the foods of the

Washington, June 28.-Representa-
tive Dixon Of Montana has secured the
passage of resolution asking the pres

This resolution was presented as the

indicating that he would be obliged to
veto the bill because of imperfections
pointed out by the Indian office. The
president g letter says in part:
'' earnestly desire to see this In

plus lands made available for bona
fde settlers, but it is absolutely neces-
sary that the water rights of the In,
dians be SO conserved that there shall
be no question whatever as to their be-
Of irrigable land. There seems to be a
conflict of-views as to whether this is
fully covered in the bill now before me.
The Indian bureau insists that it, is
not covered, and am inclined to agree
with this view. The bureau has an
agent at present on the Blackfeet res
ervation looking up this very point. 1t

claims advanced on this subject, and
it is out Of the question to sign the
bill unless can be sure that the rights
of the Indians are. conserved. If the
bill is now withdrawn, I will take il
up and consider it with you and Sena
tor Carter Immediately after the con
vening of congress in December. Com
| missioner Leupp himself will be here
at that time and we will have the full
report Of the agent Of the Indian bu
reau, who is now investigating matter
on the ground. I have no question tina
we can then come to an agreement ant
secure the immediate passage of al
act which will achieve the purpos'
which you and Senator Carter have il

Dealing with the Erring.

That great friend of the people,
Elkins, will be much grieved to learn
what lively interest the country is
taking in getting rebaters into JAIL,
He built his great bill upon the theory
that it was much better to catch the
graft than to catch the CRATER. He
stood it upon the proposition that the
railroads and the beef barons and the
rest of them would be terrorized by a
1,w which would enable the courts to
fine them "the hmit,' as the police
court ha. it. But strange as it may
seem, ever7 -Ter regulated police court

The Thomas and Taggart cases, III
which two comparatively unknown Ito

sentence coupled with the .rumor that
six icemen in Toledo have gotten a
year in the workhouse, has made the
country quite ready to sit up and an
ticipate its Fourth Of July. The :ques.
tion has been asked why the country
is not treated to something more in
this line; why obscure Taggarts, if
there ere any obscure Taggarts afte1
the last presidential campaign, are
picked out and the bigger fellows let
go with a fine.
Softly; the government has not
played out. Nor is it standing still IL
Washington. The Burlington road was
convicted under the ever to be blessed

It's Up to Congress.

Congress hopes to adjourn Saturday
night and the country is sustained and
soothea by the same hope which ami
mates congress. But at the same time
the country is mot interested merely in
the adjournment of the national legis-
lature. It wants congress to do its work
before It adjourns: That work now con-
sists chiefly in the passage in good
shape of the rate bill and the meat bill,
the pure food bill having been disposed
Of by agreement in conference.
Debate upon these questions has been
exhausted. There is now no reason
why congress should not act upon them.
They are in conference and why they
Fare not 'outaof conference perhaps the
leaders of. congress can tell. The de-
lay is a mystery to the country. There
may be some deep politics going on
under the surface. If there is the peo-
pie will learn about it.
The country is in no mood for trifing
with the grave subjects which have
been put to congress by the recon-
mendations Of the president backed by
an overwhelming sentiment in the
/ country. Any congressman. who as
sumes that the country is Ina state Of
|hysteria and: must be given time to re-
cover its sanity will find that he has
missed the true viewpoint If he lends
himself, to laying over either Of these
bills or to. their passage in an emascu
lated form. The country is not hysteri:
cal It is quite sane. and perfectly
calm, but it Is determined. .-st

Trusting the Legislature.

Mr.. Louis O. Foss Of Elbow Lake, a
former member Of the legislature, made
an unsuccessful effort at the republican
state convention to prevent the indorse-
ment Of the "wtde-open" tax amend
ment which is to be voted on at the
coming general election. He has since
come out with a statement of his rea-
sons for opposing the amendment.
The objections raised by Mr.. Foss
are not new. They were threshed over
during three sessions Of the legislature.
The facts as he states them are cor
rect. The proposed amendment will
sweep aside all restrictions and all
mandatory provisions in the constitu-
tion. 1t will leave everything twide
open.' According to Mr.. Foss, this is
an entering wedge for the single tax,
and for an era Of discrimination which
will throw all the burden on the farmer
and the poor man, while the rich man g
moneys and credits will escape.
That argument assumes that succeed
ing legislatures will be either ignorant
or venal, and entirely dominated by the
"money power.' It means that we
cannot trust the legislature to deal
fairly with the people Of the state.
The proposed amendment will not nulli-
fy any existing law. It will only make
it possible to enact new laws to reach
property that has been escaping taxa
tion, to assess an income tax, and other
wise to- reach forms of wealth that
have been escaping their just burden
The constitution as it stands is full
Of legislation, which is restrictive in
its form, and has no place there. The
amendment will clear away restric
tions. Judging by the past, the farm
ers Of the state do not need to fea1
giving the legislature q free hand
Their representatives control the legis
lature, and there is more danger o1
legislation bearing down on the
moneyed interests Of the cities than o.
anything that will injure the farmer
If the legislature cannot be trusted t.
pass tax laws that will be fair to tn
common people Of the state, then it i
time to abolish the legislature.

Where Are the Ants?

When Oklahoma and Indian Territory
shall have been admitted as the forty
sixth state and the final status Of Ari-
zona and New Mexico have been fixed,
we shall have run out Of material for
the making of states. The ultimate
number Of states is, therefore, under
fifty, this Notwithstanding the fact that
we have taken in immense expanses of
territory since the mountain states
were admitted to the union. We have
Alaska, the Philippines, Hawaii, Guam,
Porto Rico, none Of which we expect
to enter upon the flag.
We have slipped into the habit Of
dependencies quite comfortably, it
seems, and adopted without much pro-
test the doctrine that the constitution
does not necessarily follow the flag.
We may extend 1t to Alaska and Ha-
waii, but scarcely to Porto Rico or the
Philippines.
Yet the anti-imperialist cult, which
was quite brisk at one time, has prac.
tically died out. Even Mr.. Bryan visits
the Philippines and calmly views the
question Of their disposal as one OF
administrative consideration. The an

More Land for State Forestry.

State Auditor Iverson disclaims any
hostility to the government forest
service in the successful campaign to
secure for the state 100000 acres Of
swamp land in the Leech Lake Chip
pewa reservation. The state authori
ties were only contending for title to:
land which will now belong to the state
school and institution funds. In that
they were doing their duty, strictly.
They have recovered considerable land
b~ari1g timber, and other land which
when drained will bring the state a
good price.
It happens that good share of this
land had been set aside by the govern
ment, with other large tracts, as part
of the Leech Lake forest reserve. It
is now lost to the reserve and trans
ferred to the care Of the state. The
reserve was selected by government
employees, and while they doubtless
erred in picking out some good agri-
cultural land, there is no doubt about
the bulk Of it being better. fitted for
tree-raising than for farming purposes.
The state should make careful exam.
ination of this land. Any tracts that
will be turned by drainage into fertile
farms should be handled to that end
but land. that will not make good
farms should be. administered. by the
state on forestry principles. Such lane
will bring the state bigger revenue

tract, furthermore, will be an addi

tion Of the lands held in trust for tn

tical use of forestry. "
