WHY LAND WAS WITHDRAWN
Statement Outlining Benefits to Settlers
tho Real Cause.

tho Heai Suuses
Commissioner Richards of the gen.
| eral land office. Washington. has given
out the following statement concern
ing the policy and practice of the land
Office in the matter OF the withdrawal
of public lands from settlement:
There seems to be O misapprehension
respecting Withdrawals of public lands
from entry under certain OF the Ian
laws and suspension OF final action
| upon certain classes Of entries already
made. Generally speaking, the land
is withdrawn from entry in order to
prevent its being appropriated in a
manner or for a purpose not contem-
plated by law.
In case Of a proposed forest reserve
a withdrawal is made Of all the land
that will probably be included in its
boundaries in order to guard against
speculative entries for the purpose Of
obtaining other land.
Withdrawals under the irrigation
act are for the purpose OF reserving
the land for homestead entries-the
only kind permitted by the act, and
opposing speculative entries.
Occasionally certain areas are with
drawn from entry under the desert
lard act upon evidence that the land
is not arid land. being productive
without irrigation and which can not
be taken under said act.
Final action is often suspended upon
individual entries or a class OF entries
in certain localities pending investi-
cation.
In November. 1902, there was such a
suspension of final action upon entries
made under the timber and stone act
in Washington, Oregon and Califor-
MIA. This suspension was made upon
evidence of collusive entries In those
states whereby individuals and COR
porations We're obtaining title to large
areas of valuable timber land. whereas
the law provides that the entry shall
be made for the exclusive use n ben
eft of the entryman.
That this action did not hinder or
interfere with entries under this act
Is shown by the fact that while there
were 2.l97 timber and stone entries
made in the states named during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1902, there
were S,145 such entries made in those
states during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1908, and OF this latter num-
| Der 3,544 entries were made after jan
uary l, 1908, while the order of Sus-
pension was in force, while but 1897
entries were made in the entire fiscal
year 1902. q.
AS fast as the entries in these states
ran be examined all of those which
have been properly made are passed to
patent, while the suspension continues
as L the others pending a hearing In
the local land Office. No chance IL
made upon a report Of a special agent
until opportunity for a special hear
ing has been afforded the entryman.

DEPENDED INJUNCTION
Justice Brewer Addressed Iowa State Bar Association.

Des Moines, Ia, July 18.-Justice David J. Brewer, of the United States supreme court addressing the Iowa State Bar association here, defended the power of the equitable injunction and its exercise by the federal courts, and predicted and advocated wider scope for it. He said:
 Unless the law is to place itself out of harmony with the advancing civiliz- ation, the right to prevent wrong should have an enlarged. rather than a re- stricted scope. The cry of government by injunction will eventually die out and it will be felt by all that the power is exercised only when necessity arises and when equity and justice demands,
 ''The diplomacy of the government is now on the highest plane," continued Justice Brewer; mot the Machiavelli and Talleyrand type, but the John-Hay type, marks this government among the most unselfish and most honest of the nations of the world"

FAMOUS HosTELRY BURNED.

Many Historical Personages Put Up
 at the Old Place.
 New York, July 18.-After standing as hostelry about 40 years, the Loli hotel at Kearny, N. J.. has been de- stroyed by fire Generals Washington and Lafayette are counted among the historical personages who put up at the old tavern. They passed night there shortly before the battle of Mon mouth. Early in it's history it's loca-. ton made it safe resort for the sport ing element and it was a noted place for all sorts of sports. In more recent years the Lodi hotel was a gathering place for the English and Scotch sports men interested in quoting and dog racing. It was the place where the latter sport began in this country.
 Another sporting class which made the old hotel prominent were the trap- shooters of the latter half of the last century. The loss by the ire will amount to S1O,O00.

FAVORED RRvoLu-
 TON.

Some of the papers charge the Presi- dent and his government with having
 secretly fomented the revolution and given 1t encouragement. It is not ne- cessary to examine into that charge too narrowly. While do not believe that the administration gave direct en- couragement to the revolutionists, or violated neutrality, it is probably true that the Panama revolutionists were not discouraged by the Washington
 government; and It is admitted that the government carefully watched affairs and if not informed of what might be expected was able most intelligently to anticipate events, which is one of the things every well organized government ought to do If it would protect it's own interests. It is not denied that the sympathieS of the administration were with the revolutionists, nor is it denied that some of the Presidents closest ad- visers hoped to see a revolution, be- lieving it would be the easiest, quickest and cheapest way by which the United States could, begin the work of con- structing the isthmian canal.-A.
