LAWS AND MEN.

(From the Pittsburg Dispatch)
There is "A decided disposition among the
anti Roosevelt press to make much OF
Mayor Gaynor's recent letter In which,
while declining TO order police action for
which he found no specific authority in
law, he made the assertion. ours is a
government of laws and not of men "
This is applied to Roosevelt, who Is
charged by his opponents with a desire
to exercise powers not granted him by
law.
1t Is undoubtedly true that under this
or any other constitutional government
the exercise Of individual official power
must be within the grants of law. NO
one in this country seriously proposes
TO transsress that rule. But until Supreme
Courts have ponderously revealed what
the law really Is. men may be excused
for recognizing large possibilities as TO
how the law may be finally construed
| But Mayor Gaypor's epigram, while
containing an element Of truth, Is also

SITUATION Of
INDIAN SCHOOLS
Especial 10 The Sentinel. ]


Washington, March 2i.--It is ALTO
gether likely that the government
will discontinue the Fort Lewis Ind
ian school ut the close of the present
fiscal year. The conferees on the
Indian appropriation bill yesterday
decided to cut out the appropriation
for the further maintenance of the
school and unless the Colorado con-
gressional delegation can prevent the
action, the buildings and land prob
ably will be disposed of.
Ii is agreed that the Indian school
mt Grand junction shall be provided
for next year. The disposition of the
Indian bureau, however, is to discon-
tinue both schools. Proposals have
been made in Legislation whereby the
properties may be taken over by the
state of Colorado for the maintenance
of II normal school.
The apparent indisposition of Colo
RADIO to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity, however. has led to the pro-
posed abandonment of the Fort Lewis
school this year.
