New Land Law Code Needed

The necessity Of a general re-
vision of the land laws, not only
for The purpose of carrying out
the policy Of conservation, but
to provide means by which sew
eral classes of land can be law
fully acquired, is made apparent
by paper read by Professor
Charles G.. Yale before the Cali
fornia Miners Association. Coal
land is being sold at appraised
values considerably above the
minimum price fixed by law at
| which all coal land was formerly
sold. but oil, gas, and phosphate
land have been entirely with
drawn from sale awaiting legisla-
ton for its disposal. Wattrpo
err sites can be secured only un-
der revacable permits, which
are too insecure a basis of title to
allow of large investments. I'm
less mineral is exposed on the
surface. a prospector has no Sc
curity against the jumper while
making exploration preliminary
to location, says the Oregonian.
The present administrator of
the land laws is therefore a make
shift. Phosphate, oil and gas
development is entirely suspend
ed. Before withdrawal such land
could be acquired only under the
placer mining law, which is not
applicable to deposits hidden deer
underground and which can be
t discovered only by costly work.

calorimeter expert
nents is that the law of conser-
gation of energy holds in the
animal body. Such n conclusion
is at the basis of many important
deductions regarding rations and
diets and the use which man
makes of his food and farm ami
mails make Of feeding stuffs.
The human body is a complex
machine. 1t is important to know
its efficiency as compared with
other machines, Experiments
with the respiration calorimeter
shows this to be 20 per cent, that
is. s units of energy must be sup
piled by the food to provide one
unit of work. In this respect
man compares favorably with
the best steam engine, their
efficiency it is safe to say, not
exceeding IA per cent.
Whether or not physical energy
must be expended for mental
work as we'll as for muscular
work is q question of interest
Judged by the results of a long
series of experiments with the
respiration calorimeter, severe
mental work does not make de-
mands for physical energy, at
least in amounts that We're mea-
surable even with so accurte an
instrument
1t is natural that an apparatus
of this character should be used
! in the study of technical ques'
tons which cannot be approached
by simpler means. and in par
the results referred to above are
| technical. However. the useful
ness of the respiration calorime
! ter is not limited to such matters
and it has been of great value
IN studying questions of ever,
day interests pertaining to foot
and the use man makes of it. |
is in a large measuse. due to thii
and related work that we arr
able to discuss such matters to
day with reasonable certainty.
The feeding standards is some
thing which the farmer of toda!
realizes is necessary for success
and a progressive farmer base
his practice on the feeding stand
ards which experimenters hav'
provided for him. If we are t
make the right use of our avail
able food supply. dietary stand
ards are needed and those pro
posed by the Department o
Agriculture have had wide use
The proof of the accuracy, witt
respect to energy, of these die
tary standard, has been obtained
from experiments with the respl
ration calorimeter.
The discovery that the respira
ton calorimeter is equally a
valuable for studying ripening
fruit processes and other pro
blems of vegetable life and TO
the study of mans food and tn
way to use it, has opened up
new line of work. With the ap
paratus which has been built TO
this purpose and the larger res
piration calorimeter for experl
ments with man, the Department
is in a position to continue its in
vestigations of technical ant
practical problems and to accum
ulate very useful and valuable
information. The first stages in
valuable kind of work, has Ions
been passed. the apparatus ant
methods have been perfected
and facts of great value hav'
been secured. New fields O
usefulness are being entered
upon, and the outlook for rapiC
accumulation of additional dat;
of great Importance to all VIII
are interested in the profitable
and proper use of agriculture
products is assured.

The Brandt Case in New York.

New York City is very much stirred
up over the case of a man named
Brandt who is serving a sentence of
thirty years for self-confessed burglary
in the first degree. 1t appears, however,
that when his case was before the grand
jury there was no evidence to subStan-
tiate his indictment upon that charge,
while the other facts in the case add to
its mystery.
The residence entered by Brandt be-
longed to a rich banker, in whose en-
ploy he served as 4 chauffeur, and the
door through which he gained entrance
was open. He was met in the house by
the banker, who gave him $50 and es-
corted him to the front door, shaking
hands with him as he said farewell. 1t
was after this that Brandt was sent for
by the banker and urged to make his
confession. Thereupon a judge SEN
fenced him to thirty years imprison-
ment.
There are circumstances about the
case that indicate possible collusion in
accomplishing private ends, and the dis
trict attorney is making an investiga-
ton. The interest Of the public in the
matter is the determination whether
the agency of the courts can be pros
tituted to private ends-a condition
which, if it exists, menaccs the stabil-
| ity of our institutions.

Crisis in Mexico.

Signs multiply that affairs IN Mexico
are fast running into a condition of dis
order bordering upon anarchy. The lat
est news from that distracted country
Is that Madero has. decided to call an
extra session of the Mexican Congress

sentiment is spreading through North
ern Mexico, and to all appearances the
spirit of disorder has already gone be-

The War Department in Washing.
ton has assumed unwonted activity in
the past two days, and the fact is no
longer concealed that the situation in
the neighboring republic is giving the
government grave concern. 1t appears
that the War Department has been tax
ing note of the available forces in the
country, first OF the regular army and
then of the State militia, with a view
10 ascertaining the number of men who
can be called upon for duty in case
it is found necessary at any time to
send troops to keep order beyond the
Rio Grandc.
If reports are to be relied on, the
Madero government has broken down,
80 far as the northern states of the
republic are concerned, and there are
rumors that disaffection is spreading
throughout the country to such an ex-
tent that the ruling power in the City
of Mexico will soon find itself in
Jeopardy.
1t is an unfortunate sequence to the
revolutionary movement which carried
Aladero into the chair of the President.

WAsHINGTON's EXAMPLE.
Presidents Set by Him Il Would DO
Well to Follow.

Prom the Indianapolis News
with the approach Of Washington's
Birthday IL is fitting to draw instruc-
tion from his life and acts. We are ac-
customed to think Of him as a great
soldier and as first President Of the
United States, but we should also re-
member he was one of the trainers of
the Constitution and largely instru-
mental in securing its ratification.
Although the Constitution is silent
regarding the reelection Of a Presi-
dent we cannot think that the franz
ers contemplated the possibility of sue
cessive re-elections for an indefinite
period. They might as well have made
the President eligible for life and have
done with II. BY making no provision
on the subject beyond limiting the term
to four years they evidently intended
to leave it to the good sense of the peo-
pie and the patriotism of the incum-
bents Of the Office not to prolong the
term indefinitely. They either trusted
the people to hold the Chief Executive
to a limited term or else they believed
that American Presidents would them
selves set a limit, after a reasonable
term OF service, by declining re-elec-
tIon. This is what Washington did.
