Where Would Line Be Drawn,
} the Editor of No TiMes:

To the Editor Of The Times:
am surprised that any person be-
llieving in just and living God
should advocate a law legalizing the
painless taking of llfe-that sickness
and It's terrors might end. Where
would you draw the line in which
lives might not be sacrificed? Should
II not be applied TO the incurable in
sane; to those infected with incur
able contagious diseases. TO the
criminal about TO be executed; for
economy of the state, and to numbers
without end?
Rather let us follow the example
OF the Just One-who deemed II His
duty 10 suffer the most horrible and
excruciating death--of the cross, He
drank OF the cup that was given Him
to drink. II becomes our duty as be-
levers in God 10 do the same-count-
ing for Joy that we are considered
worthy to suffer in His name,
II not a sparrow falleth without
His consent, or knowledge, being His
children, are we not justified<in be
lieying He knoweth our sorrows and
sufferings, and though our conditions
be agonizing-they are not worthy to
be compared with the glory that shall
be revealed in US.

WASHINGTON LETTER

both OF which agreements expire al
the same time few years from now.
"A part OF the responsibility OF the
forest service" said Chief Forester
Graves, discussing the proposed leg
islation, is TO protect watersheds
At the present time within the ma
tional forests there are watersheds
which supply water for domestic pur-
poses TO more than thousand diner
ent towns and cities. II seemed 10
ME an undesirable precedent TO take
land out of the national forest In this
case and grant IL to the city outright
and so I reported adversely on the
original legislation. The city of Col
orado Springs felt. however, that II
ought To have some police powers to
keep people off the watershed In
question so that no pollution OF the
supply might take place, and the for
est service had no objection TO such
plan. The bill as passed by the
house was perfectly satisfactory TO
the forest service. as IL provided for
supervision by the secretary OF agri-
culture, but permitted policing by the
city. This would not interfere with
reforesting the area which has been
burned over, and would not interfara
with its use for other forest purposes.
The amended bill, however, is ambig-
uous. II grants the use OF the water
shed 10 the city and says the land
shall be administered by the city,
but under the direction OF the secre-
tary of agriculture" This places the
responsibility on the secretary, while
giving the city the actual control. 1t
would probably result In legal
tangle, which might have to go to
the courts for adjudication. II would.
in my opinion. be bad precedent 10
set"
The National Conservation associa-
ton Is opposing the bill In its present
form. They point out that there are
frequently a number OF uses for any
given stream. There Is the domestic
supply, the use for irrigation. the use
for power. the use for navigation, the
use OF the watershed as a timber re-
serve, and it's use for grazing lands,
or mining purposes. Some OF these
uses may conflict. In practically
/ every case the various uses will az
feet more than one state. II Is OBJ
vious that there should be some ai-
thority to determine what Is the high
est use in a given case. and TO regu-
late other uses to conform. The con-
servation people believe that there
should be no possible question as to
the authority OF tho federal govern
ment to act as arbiter, representing
the interests of the whole people In
all such cases. Cooperation between
the city authorities and the federal
government has been found 10 DO
practicable and workable, but does

dinal Moran, II read in Il discussion
the remarks made by an Englishman,
and a member of Parliament, who
said: ireland is miracle!' That
was a short phrase: still it was very
emphatic. and one that could not be
excelled. In the first place. ireland
Was miracle by the fact of the
apostolate Of ST. Patrick. who in. his
short life gathered the whole of the
country into the field of the Catholic
Church. \ second feature was the
fact that Ireland was a sanctuary of
enlightenment and divine truth, and
its people became so enthusiastic in
the paths Of virtue that ireland be-
came known as the Isle Of Saints.
Another feature was the wonder
ful missionary spirit which led the
sons of Ireland to the various coun-
tries of Europe overrun by barbarians

lightenment and religion. and 10 give
TO those nations true Christian civil
