The Secretary Of the Interior has been

has heen kept quiet. as it was feared
that publicity would cause the suspected
parties to take to flight.

Some commend has been aroused by
the fact that none Of those indicted
were OF special prominence. but were
minor officials or Spectators who could

dreds of dollars out Of their alleged

lieve that the men who caused the
smaller fry to make or sanction fraudu-
on evidence so strong that convictions
Will be practically assured.
Legislators Are Involved.
Rumors say Representatives and Sen
ators from the public land States are
deeply interested In the fraudulent
entries. but at the Interior Department
this morning a prominent official said:
1T was not necessary for the big cor
porauons to have political influence be-
hind them. The frauds have been made
possible by the faulty construction Of
the law regulating the sale of timber

According to President Charles W.

no good reason why the normal human
being should not have an intellectual
training that would meet the require.
ments not only Of our advanced civ.
illzation, but be up to the highest
standard as fixed by the learned presi'
dent himself. for recently he said: a
library that will 60 on a shelf five feet
long Is enough to give an intellectual
training to any human being that ever
came into the world"
