THE BETTER WY.

The case of one of the so-called
"heretics" concerning whom we were
speaking recently appears TO he settled,
o, to be approximating settlement We
are told that the preacher In question
has voluntarily withdrawn from the
church denomination with the creed of
which he had found himself to be no
longer i'm sympathy, and will join an
other with which ne can agree. This will
put an end TO any proceedings against
him by the organization from which he
las separated himself while the other
organization will cordially welcome him
10 its ranks.
That is obviously far better than II
would have been for him to remain in Il
denomination with which he was not in
accord and to fight to retain his place
IN uncorgenial company. II does more
than merely 20 avoid the unpleasIntneSs
of II heresy trial. though even that is a
not insignificant consideration. II saves
the man himself from some possible i'm
pairment of. or at least some suspension
OF, his usefulness, ana places him IN
bis true alignment where bis efficiency
will have opportunity to rise TO its high
est degree.
Nor is it any hardship Ia the man or
rcproach 10 the Church. The dcnomina-
tions Of Christianity are 50 varied that
any sincere believer can find some one
with which hc will he In substantial
accord without mental reservation or

THE SEALING TREATY

President Taft was justified in telling
the Christian Endeavor Convention at
Atlantic City that the conclusion Of the
sealing treaty was an important Step
toward a saner application of the
principles Of international fair dealing.
The agreement among Russia, Japan,
Canada and the United States TO sup
press wasteful pelagic sealing is note
worthy as settling Il troublesome inter
national issue of long standing by the
intensely practical methods Of modern
diplomacy The four nations concerned
adopted the sensible view that each had
nm interest which the others ought TO
be willing 10 recognize and that each
would be benefited by an arrangement
which did not bear too hard on any OF
Its neighbors.
The controversy had dragged along
for q generation because each nation
had been reluctant TO recognize the JUS
tice Of any other point of view than its
own. Rather than yield its contentious
each party to the dispute was willing TO
see the once abundant seal herd gradu-
ally depleted from over 100000 head
In 1868 10 less than 10000 in 1909
THE proposal had even been seriously
made to exterminate the seals as the
only means Of ending an irritating sit
uation. The United States naturally
felt aggrieved that its Alaskan rock
cries should he impoverished year by
hn 20 th<
sea poachers. 1t felt that it had a sub
stantial claim TO proprietorship over the
seal herd because II owned the breeding
grounds 10 which it resorted. But
the posching nations held that their sub
iccts were free 10 take seals anywhere
beyond the shore line limits without re-
straint of any sort. So long as these
two mutually destructive theories were
insisted upon no agreement was possible
and each nation went ahead in its own
way, rapidly extinguishing a natural
source of wealth which could and should
have been conserved and multiplied for
the benefit Of all.
IT is interesting TO contrast the meth
DDS by which the preservation of seal
life has been finally assured with the
methods followed in the earlier stages
Of the controversy. All four nations
now contract to pool their interests al
The catch and 10 work together 10 re

that possession Of the rookeries involves
complete ownership of the animals has

tention that sealers killing in the open

of the nation on whose soil the seals
must propagate in order that the sealing

IfnL iND T1NAILON.

The taxation problem which has been
raised in Japan is apparent to MANY
other countries and communities. II
relates 10 the time in which or the
rate at which public Indebtedness shall

| record In such matters, regarded from
| the point Of view Of her creditors. Not
only, of course. has she never dcfaultcd
I'm any way, but she has paid her obliGa-
tions with exceptional promptncSs, some

date. and she has made herself con

maintenance Of army and navy.
The feeling has now arisen, however,
that too great burden of taxation is
being imposed In this way upon the
present generation. and that as the benc-
fits which were secured by the incur
renee of the debt will he enjoyed by
future generations n well rs by the
present one. n considerable part Of the
debt might well he left for those future

continue adding 10 it. and yet that her
national credit * second to none in In"
world; and they ask why Japan should
not do likewise and thus lessen the
weight of taxation, which j. now OppreS-

I Every public corporation needs 10 deter

which is TO be paid by no matter what
effort in short and definite time, as the
practice has been in Japan. There Is
something 10 be said in favor If each of
the plans. and also something against
each. The present should not Cypress
ana impoycriSh itself for the sake Of
pOstcrity. nor should ii entail upon the
future embarrassing obligations. In any
case a determining factor should be the
consideration which Of the plans is like
