Pacific Coast Alien Land Laws Upheld

by Justice Butler, it is held the Four
teenth amendment is not violated and
there can be no question about the
laws being repugnant to the treaty
agreement.
The decision is complete victory
for the opponents of the japanese
contention and is so sweeping that It
eliminates all questions of illegality
concerning the laws.
The question at issue revolves about
the right of a state to pass laws pro-
hibiting certain aliens from holding
lands while not inhibiting the holding
of lands by other aliens The court
held the state has an undoubted right
to prevent land holding by aliens who
have not declared their intention of
becoming citizens or who are ineligi-
BILE to citizenship.
Holding that the alien land laws are
not in contravention of the treaty be
tween the United States and Japan,
Justice Butler calls attention to the
fact that the preamble of that treaty
declares it to be treaty Of COM
merce and navigation" indicating II
was entered into for the purpose of
establishing the rules to govern the
commercial intercourse between the
two nations

New Plan to Clear Pueblo Land Titles

map out the land of the Pueblos, MAX
ing note of the portions occupied by
white settlers who claim title prejudi-

information as a basis, it is proposed
to direct the attorney general to
bring suits to recover for the Indians
all lands which have been occupied
adversely under cover of title for less
than twenty-five years, or less than
thirty-five years without paper title
or other reasonable claim of owner
ship. Where a proper showing is made
that the land has been held adversely
for more than thirty-five years, it is
proposed that the Indian claimant
may be compensated by the govern
ment. If the land is vitality needed by
the Pueblos, it is proposed that settle
menr be made with the white claimant
who has held the property adversely
for more than thirty-five years, and
that it be restored to the original own
eI or his heirs.

Part, but she could not doubt her
existence. For year back her hus-
band had forgotten to kiss her when
he went to the office, and when he
came home. And on those rare nights
when he stayed at home he read the
newspaper, and yawned, and found the
time heavy on his hands. So you see
there must be Party of the Third
Part.
This fear gripped the little woman
so deeply th2t one night she deter
mined she would know the worst. Her
husband had not come home to dinner;
he had telephoned that he was very
busy in the Office He would just slip
out and have bite. And he would
likely be late-don't sit up :.
She would know the TRUTH
So she put on a long cloak, and d
veil affair that she could draw over
her face. and she went straight to his
office in time to intercept him before
he left for his appointment. A light
shone through the frosted doors, but
all inside was silent as the tomb.
"He has gone already!" she ex-
claimed to herself. Then she gently
tried the door. 1t opened to her hand

desks. How forlorn and irksome they
lookedi But everyone was gone No!

struck her before that her husband
was beginning to be an oldish man. He
had not heard her. He was intent over
statement with long columns of fig
ures, and he was making calculations
on pad of paper before him:
From where she stood she could see
the gray tinge about his temples, and
the thinning hair on the top of his
head. His brow was set in deep fur
rows. And suddenly Friend Wife
found herself swallowing desperately
at something in her throat Suddenly
she knew that there was no Party of
the Third Part, and never had been a
Party of the Third Part, and that she
was foolish. wicked woman.
She drew the door gently shut. In
the basement of the building was
restaurant, where also was a waiter
who, for consideration. would carry
meal TO her husbands office. Quickly
she gave the order, for two; it was
to be modest meal, not too expensive,
but healthful, and garnished with love.
The waiter carried it in and set II
down on the little correspondence table
beside Friend Husbands desk. And
beautiful woman sat down beside 1t,
and held out her hands to the troubled
man with the long column of figures,
and smiled.

ENELOPMENI ana protection
of wild life in the national
forests is one of the major
duties of forest officers, ac-
cording to Col. w B. Greeley, chief of
the forest service, speaking before the
Biological society at the Cosmos club
Over $4,000 head of big game ami
mails are 10 be found in the lat ma
tiOnal forests, Colonel Greeley stated,
of which 100000 are deer, 4S,500 are
elk. $4,000 are Rocky mountain sheep,
10000 are mountain goats and $500
are moose.
These are cheering figures, but a
good many people are frankly skepti-
cal. The skeptics say that nearly all
the remaining elk are in Yellowstone
National park, possibly $4,000; that
nearly all the Rocky mountain sheep
are in Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone
Glacier and Mount Mckinley National
parks; that the mountain goats are in
Glacier and Mckinley National parks,
and that the moose are In Yellowstone
and Mount Mckinley National parks.
The national parks are game sanctu-
aries, while hunting is permitted in
national forests, except in areas thar
have been set aside as game preserves.
Antelope are now practically extinct.
THE national forests" said Colonel
