These limitations on the legiglative powers, as set forth in the Organic Act, cannot be trespassed upon by the Legislature of the Territo; and .any act in violation of the limitations of the power would be null and void.

The ruling says that a California law, making it a criminal offense to belong to an organiza- tion ml\m'nlhu. a change in government by s of violence, is constitutional. The 56 signers of the rican Declara- tion of Independence belonged to an organi- zatin advocating a change of government by means of violence But-—and here’s the point—they resort- ed to violence only because there was no other way out. Today we have the ballot box. And that agency, rightly used, will carry out the will of the people; it will, if necessary, overturn government and set up a new one. 4 In this day for violence in affairs, The Star seems to have missed the real point of the Supreme Court decision. It was not passing| on a Federal statute. It was asked to rule on an act of the California Legislature, and its ruling was that the matter was wholly within the province of | that State. In other words the decision was simply! good State Rights doctrine, We agree with the Star's criticism of the law and believe that California ought to repeal it, but we believe the Supreme Court decision was sound ,and in the interest of democracy and self-govern- ment. California has as much right to be foolish| in this matter as Tennessee has about fundamentalism and evolution. “How Times says: is illustrated a this week by the Have Star in and the is of age there conduct no need human AMERICAN MISSIONS AND NATIONAL LEADERSHIP IN CHINA. The recent conference at Bishops, Superintendents, men, according Cleveland of editors, pastors to a statement just issued over the signatures of Bishop F. T. Keeney of Omaha and Dr. J. M. M. Gray, pastor of Scranton, Pa., passed| resolutions, which say in part: For years we have been lookjng toward native leadership in the Orient, and have been preparing our Chinese Christians for positions of administrative responsibility. The present upheaval has thrust the oppor- tunity and obligation for national leader- ship upon us sooner than we thought; and in a manner we did not expect. The statement, referring to the rebellion in China, says, “This is not a time to mourn.” Is this an admission that Christian missionaries have been doing in China what Russian propagandists have been accused of doing? Does it mean that the mis- sionaries have been preparing for the day when the country would be run by the Christians, and look ‘upon & bloody war as an “opportunity” for assuming Methodist and lay- | with I | I [with !Thsenism.” speech | ‘| World.” {being made to demonstrate the teasibility -and neces- THL DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JUNE I, 1927.

(San Francisco Bulletin.) Railroad engineers may soon conquer the Sahara desert, as they have most other world problems, and the picturesque caravans‘of time immemorial may pass into history. While the tale of a Saharan rallway is an old one, which has evoked more smiles than confidence during the past quarter of a cen- tury, the task of building such a road has neve presented insurmountable difficulties. It is just a very big job which nobody, thus far, has cared to tackle. The Sahara is too hot for the encouragement of great activities. But now a powerful greup of interests seems determined to put it through.

A news lle!puth tells of four hundred Mennonites who left Manitoba recently, their farms being taken over by more retent arrivals from Southern Russia, who wish to become Canadian. citizens and have their children educated. Those leaving have never become citizens, although in the country fifty years. It does not speak well for Canada that people could live here for fifty years without wishing to become citizens., The difficulty seems to have been that they were mistakenly allowed too much liberty rand it became license. In British Columbia there was a case where the Doukhobors did not wish to have their children edu- cated in the public schools. The British Columbia Government was firm with the result that they have changed their attitude. We do not want any pgople in this country who are not willing to conform to the ways of the country and to become citizens and educate their children. It would not be tolerated in the United States and we should not allow it here. Firmness in this matter should be insisted on, in order that the younger generation may have a chance. We are better off without any alien people, no matter what country they are from, who will not become Can- adians within a reasonable time. * A French genius offers to the United States a device to prevent floods by speeding up the flow to the sea of the water in the Mississippi Valley.
