SETTLE TIE QUESTION.

An official order was received in this
city yesterday to again reinvcstigatc the
Wyoming Development company $ claims
and a new special agent will be immedi
atcly set to work. Perhaps no better il
lustration of the slowucss with which
large bodies move can be given than the
governments action in this very case. On
the work of excavaling a tunnel through
the lace of a mountain and building
bitches aud l~atcrals through which to
thoroughly reclaim aud irriRate a large
body OF land which would otherwise be
practically vhueless the citizens Of this
town have spent $4SS, 600.
The title of the land is in dispute and
the matter has been several times ~inyesti-
gated BY the department. Now the whole
subject is to be gone over again. If the
matter had been settled as it should have
been Two years ago at least 300 families
would now be comfortably located on the
land which would then be OF some benefit
to the individual as well as the govern
ment.
In justice to those who have heavily in
vested their money and to those who are
seeking available homes the matter should
not be allowed to hang fire much longer.
As it now stands it Is a public outrage.

4 CONFIDENCE NAN Eff
FRONTFRY.

The most VIGOROUSLY corrupt and de-
crcpit municipal organization in the West
is that in Denver. The decent element
of the town seems to be entirely under
the domination Of n clique of ringsters,
who run things according to their own
sweet will without regard to the good Of
the people. The natural consequence has
been aud is corruption in most of the
municipal departments.
1t is commonly understood among the
men about town in Denver that ''Soapy"
Smith, who assaulted Col. John Atkins,
of the Ne'os. was under police protection
and was allowed TO ply his nefarious vo-
cation in consideration Of the police re-
c ,ivinR a prop ortion of the receipts. All
of this is notorious tow talk and the
effect of it upon public morals may readily
be imagined.
The newspaper warfare against official
corruption must result in some public
good, but the only trouble with 1t thus
far in Denver seems to be that it is ac-
tuated too much by personal motives and
too little by the broader principle OF nc
complishihg general reform for tie benefit
ofthe people.
The assault of such an individual as
"Soapy' Smith upon Colonel Atkins
merits condign punishment, and in the
interest of public morality and q, the
same time as a rebuke to thugs and
~scalawags, he should receive it speedily
and surely.

is laid. 1t has been to the happy establish
ment of this principle that statesmen and
philosophers have attributed the successful
career of democracy in America. In an ora
tion delivered at Plymouth December 22nd,
1920, Daniel Webster said that the character
of the political institutions of New England
was determined by the fundamental laws
respecting property. He enumerated the
abolition Of the right Of primOgeniture, the
eurtailment of entails, long trusts, and other
processes of lettering and tying up lands,
and the facilities offered for the alienation
OF estates through subjecting them to every
species of debt, through public registries and
the simplicity of our forms of conveyance, as
the influences which fixed the future frame
and form of the government" A great sub
division of the soil and great equality Of
condition, which Webster considered the
tfue basis of popular government, resulted
and have generally continued in this coun-
try. So sure was Mr.. Webster of the truth
Of this principle that he made a daring
prophecy when the French empire estab-
lished the law rendering compulsory an equal
division of estates on the death of their

the law" said Mr.. Webster, "the law, in half
century, will change the government; and
this change will not be in favor of the power
of the crown, as some European writer's
have supposed, but against it," Mr.. Web
ter made this prophecy in 1920. In 1880 the
French government was changed by the rev.
olution he foretold; and again it was changed
in 1S4S. In England the effect of law
which would permit but not compel equal
divisions of property, would have much less
effect than in France upon the government,
because Its operations would be more gradu-
al, and because the government is already
democratic to great extent. But upon
those fctions of power and influence that
have survived the loss of the substance, up
on the crown and the privilege of the nobil
| ity, the disestablishment of the principle OF
primogeniturs, with other reforms to facili.
tate the transfer of land such as are contem.
plated with it, would have vast and even
devastating effect

A question is raised concerning two bills
passed by the last legislature OF New York
somewhat similar to the one in regard to the
medical registration bill passed by our legis-
lature Two years ago. The capitol extension
bill and the bill providing for the. appoint
ment of six female factory inspectors were
both signed by the Governor, but afterwards
his signatures were removed with acid and
both measures vetoed. The friends of the
bills contend that unless the approval was
erased before the thirty days limit for con-
sidering bills expired both measures are laws
in spite Of his vetees. The problem is to deter
mine just when the signatures were erased,
and it cannot De solved without putting the
Governor under oath and compelling him to
testify, proceeding which will hardly be
attempted, and which would probably fail IL
it were, as it is doubtful IL tho Executive
could thus be examined in regard to his off,
cal acts.

discussion. Some prominent electricians
contend that the apparatus which has been

Within two years nine Saskatchewan,
Texas, Tennessee, Oregon, West Virginia,
New Hampshire. Massachusetts. PenDsyl-
vania and Rhode Island-have voted down
constitutional prohibition. But the verdict
In Rhode Island stands on different footing
than the verdcts in the other States emu
merated. In Rhode Island the result was a
distinct and positive condemnation of prohi-
ton by the people after trial. In the other
States the people only voted not to put pro-
hibitlon into the constitution. In neither OF
them did the result necessarily imply that
the people were opposed to prohibitory
law, or to prohibition as measure for sup
pressing the drink evil. Butin Rhode Island
the vote was a test of the strength of that
theory. 1t was perfectly understood that
the repeal of the prohibitory amendment
meant the repeal of the prohibitory law, in
fact the reason for submitting the repeal
amendment was that ITS passage was nee.
essary condition precedent for the repeal OF
the law. Practically, then, the question on
which the Rhode Island people voted swas
whether prohibition should he continued or
abandoned, and bysa large majority the peo-
pie have decided that it should be abap-
doned. This is the first time that a prohibit
tory amendment has been taken out of the
constitution, and one of its obvious effects
must be to weaken greatly the claim that
the advocates Of constitutional prohibition
have made for it, namely, that it tended to
give permanency to the prohibition plan.
Doubtless the result in Rhode Island Is In
some measure due to the extension of the
elective franchise, which has added many
voters. largely foreigners. But to some ex-
tent 1t Is attributable to the lax enforcement
OF the law, which gave rise to much scandal,
and to its complication with party politics.
La whatever light it be viewed it cannot but
be regarded as the worst setback prohibi-
ton has received this year. II should not.
however, be construed as declaration in
favor Of free rum. Undoubtedly great ma
jority of the people of that State are in favor
OF some sort of restriction of the liquor
traffic. But they are opposed to prohibition.

Position Of the English Eldest Son.

England, In respect to its legislative insti-
tutions, is one Of the most democratic coun-
tries upon the face of the earth, though in
the constitution of its society it is one of the
most aristocratic. But the sturdy blows
that long ago broke down the barriers of
arlstocratic influence from the portals of the
House OF Commons are now raining upon
other institutions behind which wealth and
nobility shield themselves. The system of
tenure of land in England, by its provisions
securing the inheritance to the eldest son of
the family, has perpetuated arstocratic in
fuence and moulded society for centuries.
a proposition is now pending in Parliament
to change this system. by providing that
when landowner dies without making a.
will, his land shall be divided In the same
way as his personal estate. OF course ip a
country where the system of primogeniture
has established such ancient and powerful
families, it would still, in spite of change
in the law, be perpetuated for long time bv
heads of families who would make their last
testaments according to the old system. Yet
in the end, when once the law of prlmogeni-
ture is abolished. the influence of justice and
the family circle will finally prevail and all
children will come to share alike. The bill
now before Parliament emanates from
source that makes it doubly significant, be-
ing introduced first in the House of Lords
and by Conservative, Lord Chancellor
Holsbury. This would indicate that the
aristocratic classes are content to let the
spirit of the nineteenth century take its
course unmolested; for in establishing tie
principle THAT all the children shall share
alike, the cornerstone of democratic soS'.
