ST. PAUL DISPATCH SPEAKS FAv-
Bs oRARLY OF HOW THIS Law
WORKS

In speaking Of the Torrens law
which is just now attracting consider
able attention in the North Dakota
Legislature. the st. Paul Dispatch
says:
One Of the most important laws up
on our book of statutes is the one
familiarly known as the Torrens title
act providing for the final and abso-
lutte settling Of land titles beyond
question or controversy. The recent
decision Of the supreme court holding
the act valid and that, under it, the
title settled by the court is incon-
stestible by any onesave for fraud In.
procuring the decree, and then not in
the hands of an inno cent buyer after
the expiration Of the six months
limited for contest, removes every
doubt that may have deferred Lawyers
from advising clients to put their land
under the law. The decision Of the SUI
.preme court Of the United States, in a
case that went up from Massachusetts
under a similar law, that it had no
jurisdic lotion, gives to this decision Of
our supreme court absolute finality.
In the years when the Dispatch was
urging the enactment Of the Torrens
system, among the arguments for it.
used was that 1T would make real es-
tate a quick asset by making its trans
fer, either in pledge or fee, as quick
and easy as is that Of a share Of stock;
making title certificate practically
negotiable paper An instance Of res
cent occurrence proves this. a. party
wished to buy residence lot. He
Eascertained at the registers office that
its title was held under the Torrens
act. He told the agent he would take
the lot The owner was called BY
telephone, the consideration PAID, the
new certificate issued and the trans
action closed in less than one hour.
Compare that with the process where
an abstract Of title has to be brought
down to date, examined By a lawyer,
defects probably found and time spent
in curing them and q month or more
consumed before the transaction can
be closed up.
The law, limited to the three coun-
ties Of Ramsey, Hennepin and ST.
Louis, has slowly, but steadily, grown
in favor. No prudent person now buys
land upon which to put costly build
.ings without having the land title put
under this law In this city, within
two years, over 1906, 900 have been
put into structures On lots whose
title was first settled BY this process.
The small public expense involved, the
salary OF the examiner, has been re-
Hcouped many times over BY the reve-
nues brought In from the clearing of
of unpaid taxes, In one ease that came
to our notice sS.400 was thus re-
covered The cost to the land owner
is trivial compared with the relief from
the burden and delay Of the old
method, but far more IN the comfort Of
the assurance Of having an indefeasi-
BILE title. 2

Thinks War Must Follow.

ST Petersburg-Great importance is
attached here to the declaration made
by War Secretary Taft at Toxic re
garding the Philippines as indicating
the determination of the United States
to carry out an extensive expansion
policy in the Pacific. The Novoe
Viemya today, analyzing the situation,
says it regards the retention OF the
Philippines as being a clear evidence
Of the aggressive intent of the United
States, which in spite of the enormous
cost, is yet determined TO retain mil
itary and naval base which is useless to
them except in case of war.
The paper says:
I'VE regard a clash between Amer
lea and Japan as inevitable. Otherwise
the former would have got rid of such
all expensive colony long ago. Yet the
clash will not come soon, as japan is
now without resources, while America
is busy digging the Panama canal"
The Russ, while attaching equal i'm
portance to the canal, says it considers
that the Japanere have no Intention of
fighting the United States, preferring
to follow the lines of least resistance,
adding:
"Japan's real intention Is to wake a
second war with Russia, which is un-
able to defend her territories east OF
