THE ISLAND or rAp

Tap is 50 small as to be marked hy only dot on the map but it is large enough to become the subject of no little controversy among the nations. Yap is of no importance to this country. in fact 6l no more importance than the many other small islands in that part of the Pacific, except that N has been made the cable station In that part of the east and fhere- Tore 1t Is of vital concern that there should net be another country on the fine of eommunication between this country ana the Philippines. To put Japan in possession thereof means that that conn try win have a listening pest which no nation would be eager for another te have.
 Tap was one of the German islands which 1t was agreed among the allies and Js1an, before this country became iii, vctved h the war, should go to Jansn # the aiiies won, and 1t vas an arTanre- mMt which Japan insisted upon regard. less of the basis under which the arrnis- nes and terms of peace were arranged. This country, however, took execution to the plan and asked that decision on thai paFtinuiAr island be deferred to another time. This country sought 1t for a eahle station and the claim as put forth hy this government Is that 1t was not ;n. ended in the agreement t signed.

LETTERS TO TIE EDITOR
The Fishing License.


 Dear Editor: In your yesterdays is- sue, I saw communication headed. "LE- cense For Fishermen Discussed By Com mittee." By this article, I an informed that the fishing and sportsmen clubsv are in favor of license for fishing h the fresh waters of the state. That would be a fine thing, if carried out right can remember when we all were in favor of a hunters license, as the mon- ey paid for the license would go sto bring both fish and birds into the state, and to put buckwheat on the farms for the birds in winter. Not one piece or buckwheat Qor said purposee3 has ever been planted in this town. The Hun- garian partridge. which was to be brought in to breed and make good shooting. as a state enterprise, never materialized- i have lived in this town for 3S years, and during that time only twu cans of fish, and ts quail have been brought in by General Ely, who pale fer them himself FiFshing and hunt. ing privileges have been bought up by g few rich people, and the ordinary tax. payer dare not hunt or fish on ferbid. dea territory. Every year I have pait for a license. and had the privilege soi using it on the public highway, These few rich people VIII hunt ana fish ere, all the territory that they cannot hire very early in the season; and keep fheh sacred rights, against any outside thsll own favored circle.
 Open up the streams and farestS Q 1 the state to ell, and use all alike, anf many viii gladly purchase license a. al reasonable price. but it is not fair t >have an office for the benefit of one q | two, and under the control of 'sThe Fey Rich Peopie" who may be very Feeltes l with their nanasy as fishers and sports 4 TAxPATERS or TIRE

When Moody. the sanely practical, came to die, he said to his son, a few hours before passing away, have had a vision. God has let ne look into an other world" He named tive dear friends whom he had seen there, and his last distinguishable words were Heavens 8 opening"
 A similar vision was vouchsafed that sainted preacher, Edward Payson. on his deathbed. -sThe celestial city Is full in view" he cried. Its giories beam upon me, its music strikes upon my ear, aaIa its-spirit breathes into my heart"

There are times when t doesn't require much in the WAY of necessity to get ap- propriations from congress. even when there is general recognition of the need of econ0mys but there are also times when glarifS needs are as calmly turned down. This appears to be ths case re- garding the appeal for the nsakizE of . federal appropriation for the purpose of safeguarding the country against 2 ty- phus fever epidemic by establiahng the necessary protective measures at the port of New York in cooperation with the 3e- cal and state authorities. It Is true that New, York is not the only port through which vermin carrying immigrants lava come into the country. So for that mat ter the same strict measures should be undertaken at every port of entry where there is a likelihood that such disease will be- brought in, but conditieRs sk New York are such that tho number of iHnni- grants cannot be properly taken care of there and the required protection given sc the people of the city and country against the menace of this plague Re- cause. New York cannot handle the sis uatian as it should be many vessels have been diverted elsewhere Some of those sent to Boston have encountered less rig. | i'd inspection and as the result train and boatIoads of immigrants. aaaeng Bhen1 have been found .vermin carriers. havs gone through three of the New England states.
 Conditions which disclose the fact tha 1t is impossible to keep this disease ou 1 of tte country without stricter measurel l would seem to constitute such an emer gency as would impress upon the mem bers of congress the necessity for author liking an appropriation of adequate pro portions flor the federal authorities t l meet their responsibilities.
