The conservation of our natural re-
sources and their proper use constitute
the fundamental problem which under
lies almost every other problem OF our
national life. We must maintain for
our civilization the adequate material
basis without which that civilization can
not exist. We must show foresight, we
must look ahead. Az a nation we not
only enjoy a wonderful measure Of pre-
used Alright 1t is an earnest Of future
success such no other nation will
have The reward of foresight for this
nation Is great and easily foretold. But

Something Ought to Be Done


call your especial attention to the
unsatisfa ctory condition of our foreign

of American steamship Pines lines III, is now

in a manner which constitutes serious
barrier to the extension OF our COM

GREAT ELEMENT
IS PROMP TITUDE
Madeira of Madeira Scores
Again in Habeas
Corpus.

! Guilherme da Silva Madeira, the re-
jected immigrant from the Island of
Madeira, scored another point in the
Federal court yesterday. The first one
was some days ago when the court
denied a motion to quash the writ of
habeas corpus sued out on his behalf
by his sister.
Judge Dole, after a hearing in the
morning. gave a ruling at 8 O'Clock p.
m. granting the motion of Messrs.
Douthitt and Watson, counsel for the
petitioner, to strike out portions of the
return of the respondent. Raymond G.
Brown, inspector of immigration, to
the writ.
District Attorney Breckons asked for
leave to file an amended return on
Monday morning next, which was
granted.
1t had been objected to the return
that it was rather an answer to the
petition than a return. Judge Dole
said, in his ruling, that the form of
the return made what ought to be
very simple proceeding a very COM
plicated one.
One of the great elements of the
habeas corpus process, the court said,
was the promptitude with which it
settled question of the liberty of the
subject. A denial of the allegations of
the petition raised the issue in the
wrong place. What the return should
do was to show that the person was
not illegally restrained of liberty.
Judge Dole thought it would be for
the benefit Of the rule that this be |
made the practise.

KATO'S ANSWER To
NEW YORK WORLD

In the japanese papers received in
the last mail is published the reply of
Takaaki Kato, ex-Minister of Foreign
Affairs, to a cabled inquiry of the New
York World as to the probable attitude
of Japan towards the sending of the
American fleet into the Pacific Mr..
Kato's reply is short and to the point.
He cabled that in the first place he
did not believe that the American fleet
was coming at all and if it did it was
none of the business of the Japanese
people or government.
The World is one of the Eastern pa
pers that deprecates strongly the send
ing of the fleet this way. Anything
that might be mistaken at this time
for a demonstration against Japan
would be ill-advised to the point of
folly
In support of its objections the World
asserts that war in these days is fore
ed by public opinion, by infamed state
of the minds of nations and the impul-
sive fury of popular passion. There
is a war party in Japan and the report
that we are sending a great fleet of
warships to be ready for Japan's next
move would be worked up to excite
that next move"

send in plans and specifications for a
passenger and freight depot to be
erected at or near Wilson'S Crossing
by July /; the building to he com

This 10 contamination devoutly
20 be wished, the realization Of
which the citizens of Lexington have
hoped and assidnously labored for a
good many years. The matter has
been under litigation. the last deci-
sion OF the court being favorable to
the railroad company. An amendment
by the last legislature OF the law gov.
erning such cases assures the eventual |
success of the citv's efforts at having
the depot moved TO Wilson'S Crossing.
and 1t is.very unlikely that the rail.
