A Treaty Prevails.


 Governor Baldwin cites a. legal par allel in a Maryland case 100 years ago or more. He says:
 The Fundamental question involved in the California discussion is not whether California has a right to pre- vent foreigners from holding land there, in the absence of a, treaty, to the contrary. If our treaty with Japan gives the Japanese full right to acquire land in the United States, that is the supreme law of the land, and no California statute to the scontrary would be of any avail. -. ''This question was decided in a case in Maryland a hundred years or more ago. Our treaty with France made during the Revolution gave French men the right to acquire land in America and Americans the reciprocal right to acquire land in France. A Frenchman named /Chiracy took ad- vantage of this treaty to acquire lands in Maryland. Maryland had a law forbidding aliens to acquire land. But the Supreme Court of the United States held that the treaty superseded the law of -Mayland, as far as French men were concerned, and that Chirac had good Iltle.''

aliens under treaties. The recommen- dations did not result in any action by Congress at that time and think there has been none since. But cannot speak with absolute certain ty about that without examining the statutes.
 "Neverethe1ess, there is something which the federal government can do, and I have no doubt, if it shall be found that California passes an act which contravenes our treaty with Japan, that President Wilson, will take the same stand that President Roosevelt took in 1906, when he told Congress that everything xhat was in his power to do would be done, and that all the forces, military and civil, of the United States which he could lawfully employ, would be so employ ed It might happen as in the Jap anese school controversy that the Un:- ted States government would again file a bill in the federal court in Cali fornia to enforce the treaty"

CLAIM TREATIES MUST CONTROL

Coy. Baldwin and Dean Rogers Hold United States Supreme
 in Alien Land Bill Dispute

New Haven, May 7-Expert Judicial I4II 1I'lIlloi1 m thls city as represented by Henry Wade Rogers, dean of the Yale Law School, and Governor Simeon B. Baldwin, former chief justice of the supreme Court of Connecticut. and one ot the most brilliant legal minds in me United States, in interviews with tne Journal-Courfer holds to the belief that in the present controversy in California relative to the right of Jap anese to hold lands, the federal law must be preserved at any cost, that the treaties which have been made With Japan supersede and contravene any statute which the State of Cali fornta may enact, and that such being the case, California is not wholly in the right in the present case, as in the attempt to prohibit Japanese children from the public schools two years ago.
 Singularly enough both Governor Baldwin and Dean Rogers are staunch States rights advocates, but consider the power of the federal government in the present case paramount to. all others involved, .

New York. May 6--The naval train ing ship Newport, under command of Captain B. H. Tillman, U. S. N., is on its annual cruise Halifax was scheduled for the first stop. Then it was planned to go to Bermuda. The ship is chartered yearly by the New York Board of Education to enable young men to learn to become sailors. Last year she went to England and then took her amateur sailors to Stockholm to see the Olympic games. Secretary of the Navy Daniels believes in the policy of encouraging young men to learn practical seamanshtp, and it is likely that other big cities

Dean Rogers Views.

Dean Rogers in reply to a request as to his opinion in the matter, said:
 California seems to have the habit of creating all kinds of complications for the United States 80 far as our relations with the Orientals are con cerned- Congress was induced in 1888 upon the insistent demands of Cali fornfa, to pass the Chinese Exclusion act which was in contravention of ex- press stipulations of our treaty with China Of 1868 and of the supplement- ary treaty of 1880. The constitutional ity of the statute was questioned and the case went to the Supreme Court of the United States which sustained the law. The court admitted that the act violated the treaty, but held 1t was not invalid on that account A treaty the court said, was of no greater legal obfgat ton than an act of Congress The Constitution provides that the laws of the United States and all treaties made under the authority of law of the land. Both are declared to be the supreme law of the land and no paramount authority is given to one over the other. A treaty can be repealed or, modified at the pleasure of Congress and an act of Congress passed after a treaty has been rati- fled, being the last expression of the sovereign will operates, as the Su- preme Court decided in the exclusion cases, as a repeal or modification of the treaty in so far as it conflicts with it.

Previous Trouble.

Three or four years ago California again provoked a storm. This time it was the Japanese and their reIa- ton to the public schools, which con stituted the subject of controversy. The question was whether a board of education deriving it's powers from the State of California, has right under existing treaty with Japan to tax all alien residents for school pur- poses, and then to direct that Jap. anese children should be a admitted Or permitted to attend only one school the Oriental schooI-while all other schools were to be open to children of other alien residents. This nat JraIly provoked indignation the part of the Japanese and the good re- lations between Japan and the United States seemed to be seriously threat ened for a time If I remem Der right y the United States government filed a bill in the federal court in Ca1ifor- mia to enforce the treaty. The case was never heard. The matter was adjusted and the case discontinued as the board of education was induced to see the folly of it's action and re- scinded the violation which had oc- casioned the controversy.
 The New Controversy.
 'tNow we have California stirring up another controversy and ths time it is again with the Japapese. It is att tempting to prevent the Japanese, who are aliens, from holding real estate within. that State. Two questions arise: Can the United States by a treaty confer upon an alien race the right to hold land within the States of the Union, or is it solely within the province of each State to 4determine for itself the terms and conditions upon which it's lands shall be held by alien people? am a believer in a constitutional theory of State rights and am convinced it is important to der the constitution. While holding sacred this view of the rights of the States, I am as fully convinced that a treaty provision governing the rights of aliens to hold lands in the United States is a constitutional exercise If the treaty making power and supreme over any and all State enactments which may conflict with it.
 What Will U. s. Do?
 eff the State of California should pass a law which should be found to violate the treaty with Japan, then the second question will arise, and that is, what shall the United States gov ernment do about it?

OLDEST STUDEBAKER WAGONS

Away back in 1866. forty-eight
years ago. Dave Clark bought farm
wagon. The civil war was over.
Mems minds turned to thoughts of
peace and the country was trying to
forget the thIoes of the conflict by
sturdily endeavoring to conquer the
agricultural possibilities Z the North

This remarkable stofy Of farm

wagons had survived the wear and
tear OF years and service, and to slim

offered.
4 The result of the quest for the old
est wagon surprised the experts OF
Studebaker. A wagon that had been
in service twenty five years was mere
infant, so to speak. The wagons that
had been in service for thirty years
were half grown children, to carry
the comparison further, while there
were ample records to prove that
wagons OF forty years of age were not
