stated that it would be impossible for
them to retain the forest. They could
not pay the taxes without selling off

In addition to many other pieces we
have obtained land enabling US to en-

give an entrance to them through those

greet that the Government Is not In a

form a park right in the middle of that

The possession of any one Of the Isl

not really release or remove the jurfs-

TT seems to me remarkable that the
Judiciary should have used it's power
to interfere with the executive depart
ment.
AT one time in the proceedings the
Commissioner OF Public Lands, conf
dent that his exercise of the trust re-
posed in him was in the public inter-
ests, was prepared to make the ex-
change and take the chances of any
punishment for contempt which might
be imposed on him. OF course. In that
event. the Executive had the power to
pardon him out.
Such a course, however, would not
have shown the respect due the Judi
ciary which I think the Executive IS
entitled to offer them. In other words,
it would not have been following the
golden rule. I have preferred to follow
the other course and set an example of

CONSUL MARQUES ON
SAILORS AND CHURCH

Editor Advertiser: Sir, I wish,
through your courtesy to be allowed
to say a few words, in reference to
some misapprehensions contained in an
article published in yesterdays issue
of your valuable paper, concerning the
relations between the French man-of-
war and the Catholic Mission here. 1t
is true that, for some years past, Off
GERS of the French navy passing here,
have ceased to call OFFICIALLY on
the clergy of the Catholic Mission,
while this formality was regularly OBJ
served in former times. But the rea-
son of this change is not at all con
nected with any of the present un-
fortunate disagreements between the
French government and the Pope of
Rome and his clergy. The Catholic
Mission here was founded by French
priests, backed when necessary by
French influence; the first Bishop here
was a Frenchman, and his church was
for many years Familiarity called the
French Mission-the next door Con-
vent being still called the French
Sisters Bishops in France being gov
eminent officials, having regular
standing, assimilated officially in rank
services, it was therefore only natural
that the officers of French war ships
calling here should go and pay their
respects officially on the Catholic
French Bishop here, as any French of
fetal anywhere would call on other of
fcials of the same nation. But, of
late, the Catholic clergy here have
gradually ceased to be French, not one
out of ten at present being French
citizens; they are now Belgians, or
Dutch, or Germans, and while it might
be at present the proper thing for
the officers of German or Belgian ships
to acall on them OFFICIALLY. there
Is no longer any reason for this to
be done by French officers, not any
more than there would be official rea-
son for them to call on the American
Bishop, or on Spanish Bishops in South
ern America. At any rate, though there
may be differences between the French
government and the Catholic clergy
on matters of administration, or on
the manner of hberating the church in
France of the incubus of being under
government authority and salaries by
government money, yet there is no at
tempt on the part of the French Re
public to interfere with the religious
beliefs of It's citizens, nor to dictate
to them whether to go to church or
not.
Yours truly,

A United States Supreme Court de-
cision is quoted, partly in these words:
1T is not the province of the courts
to interfere with the land department
in it's administration"
In his concurring opinion the Chief
Justice thinks the power of the Com
missioner to make the exchange exists
under Sec. 276. 1t formerly existed
under Sec. Esq., but the Act of 1895 in
augurated new land policy, dividing
the public lands into two classes-ons
designed mainly for purposes of settle
ment the other devoted mainly to p1b-
lie uses. AS to the question in gen.
eral he says:
Courts can not legislate or invade
the provinces of the other departments
of government in matters Of policy.
The extent to which power of the kind
in question should be conferred upon
executive officers is a question of policy
for the legislative body; the exercise
of the power in a particular case is
question of policy for the executive
officers

THE DISSENTING OPINION.

Justice Wilder dissents from the ma.
jority ION the main question involved
in this case, which is. whether or not
the Commissioner of Public Lands with
the approval of the Governor has the
power to exchange for private lands
more than 1000 acres of public land
under lease
IF that power exists he goes on to
say, lit is to be found in Sec. ZIG OF
the Revised Laws, which, as originally
enacted, was part of the Land Act OF
1896"
This is the section where. it has
been seen, the majority Of the court
finds the power in question. Justice
Wilder holds with the contention Of the
petitioner, that the restriction of land
sales to not more than 1000 acres is
not removed in the law relating to land
exchanges, which is contained in a
proviso at the end of Sec 276, and that
the only restriction removed in the
proviso is that of disposing Of the
lands at public auction.

with God the same division holds; some things we may expect from God,
specially that we shall be dealt with in accordance with the nature he has
given Is and the conditions under which we are placed; some things of
faith and obedience and following, we owe to him. These two supplement
each other. Our first necessities compel us to seek our rights, to demand
of men what we feel is due to us, of opportunity, of supply, of considera-
ton. Associated life forces us to recognize duty, obligation to give even
as we demand; as children we owe obedience to our parents, Is students
to teachers, as employees to employers, as citizens to the law, as human
souls to God. The chain is complete.
Duty is first in Importance. 1t is always at hand. 1t is a continual
seed time. Duty ignored to-day may break a thread in the fabric of life
which years hence will spoil our happiness. Duty is the gateway to
knowledge and the means of power. To-days duty educates and strength
ems for tomorrows responsibility and the next days battle for rights
Duty performed is the protection against our ignorance. Duty performed,
honestly and ungrudgingly, holds us in accord with this unseen, unfolding
life, and brings us with clean hands to plead for ur rights in the court
Of humanity or heaven.
This is the way out of our troubles. 1t is not only a good road to
follow. Il til the road we must travel. We shall only heap up sorrow for
ourselves until we learn to do the first things first, to do our duty and SO
find our rights. Thus it was that Jesus, reminding his hearers of the un-
grudging love of parents as picturing the love of God for men, said,
therefore, all things whatsoever We would that men should do to You, do
We even 10 to them; for this is the law and the prophets"

30 much for the policy of an institution which works for the good
OF mankind, but does not wear its religion on its coat sleeve.
In the Young Mems Christian association everything helpful that
can be done for a man is done. Positively no questions are asked about
what particular church one belongs to, or whether one belongs to any
church. A member may believe anything he pleases; he can be a Jew or
a Gentle, a Catholic o r a Protestant-yea a Buddhist or a Mohammedan
1t is all one at the Y. NJ. G. A. The associations only object is to
help the man, and it does not concern itself about the nouns and tuums
of mere dogma.
And the man whom the association influences is helped in many
ways. Association workers say they try to help him in three distinct
ways-morany, mentally and physically. The first is through associa-
ton and assimilation, the second through education, and the third by
means of what possibly might be termed gymnastication, l. e., physical
training in the gymnasium.
When a young man joins the Young Mems Christian association
he finds good company. In such company it does not take him long to
,acter. Sometimes he makes friends with people who afterward find
themselves in a position to help him. Many such valuable aids to sue
cess have come out of the fellowship which is engendered at the Y. NJ.
Z. A. But this reference, of course, is to the merely selfish side of the
question. After a little while the young man gets past this, and reaches
the point where he enjoys helping others. In short, he has absorbed an
atmosphere which developed his soul life, and which has made of him a
better young man than he was when he joined the association.
Some good things to be found in almost any Y. N. G. A. in the
country are its baths-shower, plunge and tub; games of various kinds
in gymnasium practice; reading and writing rooms; library; Sunday aft
ernoon talks-nether sermons nor lectures, but genuinely interesting;
presenting the best lyceum talent available; debating congresses; camera,
water sport, boxing, fencing, wrestling, musical and outing clubs; en-
ploymnt bureaus; night school classes, etc.
