"They were appropriated for the pur-
pose of an expressed trust and were
to be disposed of in the manner des-
ignated to carry out the purposes of
that trust. They were accordingly
not subject to entry under the home

Cathcart Brings Case.
The case was brought into the su-
preme court on the appeal of Thomas
Cathcart of Beltrami county who had
settled on some of the land in 1903.
Previous to that time congress had
granted the Minnesota & Manitoba
railroad lands within the reservation
for it's right of way. Part of this
right of way extended through the
land claimed by Cathcart.
He brought action against the
Canadian Northern railroad which
succeed the Minnesota & Manitoba
railroad to prevent it from going
through his land.
The district court here held that
Cathcart had no right to the land un-
der the Nelson act.
Cathcart appealed but the supreme
court affirmed the judgment.

seen one until that night, for at that time I was the only American in the city of Merida and. so far as I know the only one in the whole state of Yucatan. I only knew three of those present, so personal acquaintance had nothing to do with that outburst of enthusiasm. It was accorded for no other reason than because they be- lieved in President Wilson's good in- tentions toward them and his ability to handle the delicate problem of "the Greaser and the Gringo.''
 "We don't want war with the United States said one of them "We don't want war with anybody. We want peace and justice, and then we will have prosperity. That's what we fought for all through the revolu- ton. Now it is just coming to us, and we feel that your President realizes that our troubles are about over and that we have his sympathy and moral support in this trying period, when we are reconstructing our national life.''
 I heard this same sentiment ex- pressed time and again all over Mex ico by all classes-governmen off, cials, professional men, merchants, soldiers, farmers and even by a few of the peons who were little bet ter informed than their fellows. Most of them, are so densly ignorant that they know nothing of international affairs or even the name of the Presi- dent of the United States. They ac- cept as gospel truth whatever their superiors tell them.
 There are many Americans And other foreigners in Mexico who do not approve at all of Mr. Wilson's Mexican policy and for very obvious reasons. They also do not approve of the Carranza Government and for equally obvious reasons, for the Car ranza Government does not sanction the footing of Mexico by preditory foreign capital, as did Diaz and as Huerta would have done had the United States recognized him. Con- ditions would have been very fine for some big pluckings under Huerta. Consequently foreign predatory capi- tai is very much disgrunt1ed at Presi- dent Wilson's attitude. He has made no hit with that class of gentry. and they are bowling with disappoint- ment
 On the other hand I did not meet one single Mexican among the hun dreds with whom I talked who did not heartily approve of President Will son and believe that his efforts will be big factor in the salvation of the country.
 And after all, we must not forget that Mexico happens to belong to the, Mexicans. /

ton, and we may augur that he would change it.
 "The President of the United States could easily bring about a situation that would make us party to that war, either for or against Germany. We know that Wilson has kept us out of the war. Hughes says he did wrong. Hence Hughes would change Wilson's policy. Who knows that the change would not plunge us'into the war? The defeat of Wilson would be taken by every nation engaged in the war as a repudiation of wilson's peace policy. The English and their allies, looking to Roosevelt, would &C., cept the change as favorable to them. Germany, looking to the German vote in the United States, would view the change as favorable to her and her allies. Thus from November to March, Wilson would be wholly dis credited by all the nations of Europe those at peace as we'll as those at war, and it would be a miracle if something did not happen to mako our participation in the war inevitable.
 But MT. Hughes seems to have set- tied on the Adan1son bill, averting the big railroad strike. for his paramount ioouC. II cOs ~ was disO u SuTTenQor on the part of the Republican party in Congress to union labor. Any one of the Republican Senators could have defeated the Adamson law. TSns it was in the power of MT. Hughes party to bring about the strike, the settlement of which gives MT. Hughes so much distress.
 He says he is for the S-hour day; but hs denounces the way the S-hour day was brought about. He pretend ed to be for the income tax, but he opposed the amendment to the Fed eral Constitution authorizing Con- gress. to levy it. He might as we'll be against both the 8-hour day and the income tax, for he objects to the peans necessary to bring them about.
 "H Charles E. Hughes is elected President Of the United States 1t will be a triumph of the railroads. He is the railroad candidate, has made himself so. Whatever the railroads want they will get if Hughes is elect ed. That is why the most vicious ele- ment of Wall Street is for him. That is why Rockefeller and Morgan\ are straining every nerve to elect him.
 "President Underwood of the Erie Railroad says Wilson did not sur render to labor and he was there. one of the parties to the controversy; but everyone knows that Hughes has sur. rendered to capital. If the railroadS can elect him. Hughes will be Pres dent"

eff the Republican party should re- gain power. if MT. Hughes should be elected President. there would be a radical change in the policy of the administrathp. and if the Congress should contain a Republican majority in both branches there would be re- peal of all the progressive legislation of the Sixty-second and Sixty-third Congresses. MT. Hughes and his party are agreed that everything the Democratic President and those Democratic Cong. esses have done is wrong. and, while nobody knows what would be substituted for what has been achieved, we do know that a change, radical and sweeping. would come.
 MT. Hughes and his party are vio- lently opposed to the Mexican policy of the President. That policy has averted war with that unhappy land, and it meets the approval of all the Republics of Central and South America. Never in our history has the friendship between the United States and those countries been as cordial as now. As soon as the war in Europe is over all the commercial nations in the world will be at rivalry to get the trade of the growing Latin American peoples. To get that trade one must have the friendship of those peoples.
 Should Hughes be elected he will change Wilson's Mexican policy. Henry Lane Wilson and Senator AL bert B. Fall are the men who advise him touching Mexico. Both of them are for intervention. and that means war. It would cost much blood and enormous treasure; but it would also cost the friendship of Central and South America and their trade.
 ~'Mr. Hughes says that MT. Wilson was lacking in "firmness'' in his deal- ings with Germany. He does not say what he would have done; but we are to assume that he would have been firm. What does that mean? Nobody knows. We do know that Woodrow Wilson's policy has. kept us out of that horrible war. We do know that had Theodore Roosevelt been Presi- dent, by this time the bones of hun dreds of thousands of dead Americans would be bleaching on the soil of Northern France. We do know that more than a million other Americans would be in France right now fight ing against Germany. We know that, and we also know that Charles F. Hughes has congratulated Roosevelt for the warlike speech he made in Maine. But the chief thing to con- slider is that Hughes denounces Will sons treatment of the German ques-

town opposing those of the west, or the married men the bachelors. A description of such a game played at Scofe. near Perth, Scotland, in the latter part of the eighteenth century is here given:
 '"The game was this: he who at any time got the ball in his hands. ran with it till overtaken by one of the opposite party; and then, if he could shake himself loose from those on the opposite side who seized him, he ran on; if not. he threw the ball from him, unless it was wrested from him by the other party, but no party was allowed to kick it. The object of the married men was to hang it, that it, to put it three times into a small hole on the moor, which was the dool, or limit, on the one hand; that of the bachelors was to drown it or dip it three times in a deep place in the river, the limit on the other: the party who could effect either of these objects-Xon the game; if neither one, the ball was cut into equal parts at sunset. In the course of the play, there was usually some violence be- tween the parties"
 The American intercollegiate game the popular autumnal pastime of the rah-rah boys of Uncle Sam's country, has been developed from the old Eng fish Rugby pastime. There was a time when it seemed tending toward reversion<to the old type of the game, so far as concerned brutality, but the changes made in the rules during the last few years have elim- mated most of the objectionable fea- lures.
 Soccer, which has become the really national sport of Great Britain, has a multitude of devotees in America. The association game was first popu- larized in Canada, but it soon spread to tho border cities of the United States, and thence along the whole,

JUST A COLUMN
BY 1.-THE By-Stander"
WINDOW DECORATION

Speaking of the completeness of
department stores, our Fair City" can
boast of n almost equal to the COM
pleteness of some of the large cata-
logue houses.
For the past two weeks passersby
have Toasted their eyes on a window
display consisting of gorgeous spring
bonnets, elaborate spring suits, to-
gether with horse collars, curry combs,
paints and paint brushes, garden rakes
and hoes.
AS these articles mentioned are all
in the same window, separated only by
a frail piece of lattice work, the thrifty
housewife has the unusual advantage
of standing outside and endeavoring to
decide as to her spring outfit, as to the
kind of paint she'll use on the interior
of her home, or as to how she'll ar
range her garden. Dobbin may stand
at the hitching post and admire the
splendid collars made for his special
use.
TITS needless to say that one can
scarcely combine thoughts of garden
ing and housekeeping with that OF
elegant Easter outfits without some
degree of bewilderment, and the re-
suit Is that said housewife may pass
on to a store where the window dis
play Is not so miscellaneous.
The window display mentioned re-
minds n of a story told by a certain
jcweler.
Having traded for years with a GER
tain hardware dealer, he was dissap-
pointed n morning on going by the
hardware store to have a window full
Of cut glass greet his eye. Feeling
somewhat out Of sorts about 1t, he de-
cided to try the other and only hard
ware store the next time he needed
anything in that line. Within a few
days he had occasion to visit this
other store, and much to his surprise
he found a window full Of clocks! AS
he wended his footsteps back to his
own place OF business he solemnly
promised himself to send to Sears.
