To Stop Land Frauds.

The general land office is determined.
as far as possible, to stamp out the
fraudulent acquisition of public lands
under the timber and stone act. an
abuse which is growing rapidly of late
and which has been brought to public
attention in Montana and Idaho, where
legal proceedings are being taken
against large number of parties.
The practice has been for rich indi-
yiduals and corporations to hire GER
tain individuals to make entries under
the timber and stone act, of rich tim
ber lands, making the entry of course
in their own name. The law requires
that such entries shall be made by n
person. who must declare his intention
to use the same for his own personal
benefits and who is sworn to have no
intention of selling his rights when
once finally acquired.
The local land officers have not al
ways been altogether fair in their deal
ings with such individuals or prospec-
i've settlers. that is. fair 10 the govern
ment. Some have been delinquent
from oversight. others from design.
The matter was carried on to such un
extent, however. that the department
was forced to take cosniZance of the
abuses, and as result Instructions
have been prepared and are being sent
to all local land officers intended to pre-
vent further abuses of the timber act.
The local officers have been instructed
to carefully and thoroughly examine all
claimants and witnesses under the
timber and stone acts. The department
believes that a large number of entries
which have been made in many states
under these acts We're not made in
good faith for the exclusive use Of the
entryman. but in the interest of spec
ulatcrs, who procured the entries when
completed.
The department is now anxious 10
nut stop to these practices. If possi-
ble. and punish the promoters Of such
fraudulent entries. Each entryman
who swears he is making an entry in
his own interest and turns about sell
ing his entry to another, perjures him
self, and Is liable to conviction.
| Local officers have been directed to
| issue no final certificate in any case
unless the proof submitted is positively
| satisfactory in every particular and
they are convinced beyond a reasOna-
| BILE doubt that the entry Is made in alb
solute good faith for the exclusive ben.
eft of the entryman. and the require
ments of the law have been actually
and fully compiled with. In every
case where the local officers are not
convinced by evidence or through act,
ual knowledge that the claimant is
acting In good faith, or where they
have presumptive evidence, reliable in
formation, or good reason to believe
that the entry is fraudulent, collusiye
or illegal, they are to receive proof. but
suspend action thereon and transmit
the same to the general land office witt
their opinion in the case. The genera
land office will not be satisfied with
any evidence taken in perfunctOrJ
way. The law requires that all roat
cross examinations will be made by M
attesting officer to further test thu
good faith Of claimants and witnesses
No entry is to be allowed on the test
| mony of the entryman alone.

A case was recently before Judge
Case OF Hartford, in which a bicycle
rider brought suit to recover damages
for injuries sustained by being thrown
from his machine by the attack OF the
defendants dog. Judge Case found for
the plaintiff. but. as the latter had
been riding on the sidewalk at the
time of the injury. he had this to say
in his memorandum: THE question
here is whether the dog was really re-
sponsible for the mischief and directly
caused it. think he was and did.
and that under our statute. which
throws considerable responsibility
upon dog owners, the defendant is liza
BILE. My personal sympathies are with
any self-respecting dog in his efforts
to keep bicycle riders where they be-
long. in the street, and believe he
should be accorded some latitude in his
methods. but Mr.. Hulburt's dog went
too far"

Jewelry stealing under cover OF ac-
eomplished skill in dentistry is the lat
est device OF Partisan rascaldom- Its
practitioner is an ingenious and eie-
CANT young man OF 26 named Pssteur.
who operated by preference among
ladies of a certain class. One OF these
whom he met some weeks ago com
planned OF toothache. which he under
took to cure. and did SO effectually.
This cure obtained him many patients.
upon whom he operated at their own
residences. After his visits articles OF
jewelry were missed, and complaints
were made to the police. but they were
quite unable to obtain any clue tosthe
culprit, until the other day one of his
victims accidentally saw him In caia
and promptly gave information which
secured his arrest.

According TO Cairo correspondent
the directors OF the great French COM
pany enjoying the practical monopoly
of the Egyptian sugar and molasses
industry have Just completed arrange
ments by which they become conces-
sionaires for a number Of years OF
some 10000 acres OF land in the vicin-
ity OF their great works at Nag
Hamadi, in upper Egypt. These lands
will be devoted principally to the cul-
ture OF beetroot. The company al
ready possesses extensive fields of
canes. Egypt is now not only able to
cater for herself as far as sugar is
concerned, but has begun to success
fully compete with French and Aus
.han sugar in the Levant markets.

courts to determine whether the act Is
really in the interest of morality as
claimed by the legislative power. few
observations in this respect become
pertinent Keeping in view these prin'
ciples as governing the relation Of the
judicial and legislative departments
of the government, is It possible to per-
ceive any ground for the judiciary to
declare that the ordinances in question
have no substantial relations to the
preservation of public morals or public
safety or were not fairly adapted to
the end of protecting the community
against evils which confessedly result
from the intermingling of the sexes in
consuming ardent spirits In SALOONS,
wine rooms or dance halls? l think
not.
With all due respect to the learned
,, district judge, to my mind there Is not
the slightest justification for con-
trary holding on the ground that the
legislative department of the govern
ment, under the guise merely of police
regulation, is by the ordinance in lues-
tion aiming to deprive class of citi-
zens of their constitutional rights. A
thousand times rather by such regula-
tions do they preserve to the people the
very rights claimed to be invaded.
Who would dare maintain that the
intermingling of opposite sexes under
such circumstances would not lead to
| immoral results and the desecration Of
those decent relations that should ex-
list between them: Could more de-
basing custom be well imagined in a
civilized and Christian community?
1T may be well to recall what his
| tory substantiates. that the shocking
debauchery and corruption that accom-
panied the periods Of decay of nations
that have perished We're largely the re-
suit OF drunken revels of opposite
sexes in the public wine places of their
great cities. 1t may be safely asserted
that every large city In this country
has at least had the decency to recog-
nize immoral consequences of the con.
litions referred to as to discourage and
prevent 1t by similar wholesome regu
lation. Such enactments have always
been upheld by the courts when called
upon and this court shall not depar,
from the rule.
'11,e ordinances should be enforced
with an unsIaring hand by those IL
authority. and to that end every proper
aid should be afforded by all the pow
er Of the Judiciary. Any other course
cannot but he fraught with the mos
perilous consequences to the morals
health and happiness OF the people"

case the revenues of China are not
sufficient for the payment Of interest
and principal the powers are to ex-
anime the revenues and determine
what changes are necessary in order
TO supply the deficiency. The imperial

In this arrangement.

Gov. Davis when he pardoned
the Fort Smith lewd women from
the 'penitentiary asserted that
in that act he was taking pattern
after the Savior, and that while
he is governor of Arkansas no
women shall remain in the peni-
tentiary. At this time there are
some colored women in the peni-
tentiary, and we would like to
ask Gov. Davis if by precept or
example the Savior, to whom he
has seen fit to compare himself,
has given him authority to free
the white women and imprison
the blacks.

Gov. Beckham, the young
statesman of old Kentucky, has
addressed an epistle to Gov.
Durbin of Indiana in which he
makes use of some caustic Eng
Iish. He charges that by his re-
fusal to deliver ex-Gov. Taylor
up to justice in Kentucky the In
diauian is a party after the fact
to the assassination Of Gov. Goe-
bel. Gov. Beckham quotes at
length from the Constitution and
statutes Of the United States tC
prove that Gov. Durbin's position
in the matter has no legal foun-
dation. Justice will not be COM
pletely done in Kentucky until ex-
Gov. Taylor is punished for COM
plicity in the murder of Gov.
Goebel.

THE HERALD DISAPPOINTED.

In joining the Clarke crowd in
their efforts to down Senator
Jones Gov. Davis has stuck hands
with his bitterest enemies and
turned his back upon his original
friends. Tue Herald, as the ORR
ginal Jeff Davis paper, the paper
that declared for him before he
announced his candidacy for gov
ernor, is disappointed in Davis.
When the State Republican was
insisting that Jeff Davis would
run for senator against Jones The
Herald stated its disbelief in the
assertion, because we could not
conceive that he would lend him
self to any attempts to defeat the
present dominant element OF
Democracy which supports the
principles Of Jefferson, Jackson
and Bryan, which element is rep
resented by James K. Jones.
When LAWS announced that he
would not be a candidate we con-
fidentIy asserted that he did SO
because he refused to aid in the
division of the anti monopoly ele-
ment. His declaration for Clarke
upsets all of our theories in re-
gard to Jeff Davis. What sort Of
man he is we do not know, but
we know he is not the sort Of
Democrat we have believed him
to be.-Hardy Herald.

ADVERTISING THE STATE.

Gov. Davis is advertising Ar
kansas in a manner which does
it no good, and it is an undeni-
able fact that he is fast bringing
his own administration and the
state into disrepute. Hereceiyed
the following telegram from New
York. dated the 18th:
"Gov. Jeff Davis-When are
YOU going to shoot the editor OF
tbe News Record? Will have a
representative on the ground
(Signed) New York World"
Just what do the people think
when it comes 90 pass that the
Governor of their state conducts
himself in such way as to be
made the subject of jests, jibes
and ridicule from the press and
people all over the country? JEFF
Davis by his uncalled-for and
disgraceful tantrums is advertis-
ing himself far and near as an
ass and as chief executive Of the
state, he is doing the whole peo-
pie of Arkansas an injury OF no
small magnitude. It's the truth
1t is high time that the whole
people should become aroused on
the subject of politics and who
they will place in power. 1t is
high time that demagogism be
rebuked and the practices OF the
demagogue be put to shame. 1t
is high time that the people Of
Arkansas issue an edict that
none but the best men shall hold
office with their consent.
