Hepburn May See 1t Win
(Spokane Chronicle.l


Senator Hepburn OF Idaho at the out
set of his career in congress has
joined the ranks of the expansionists,
and has introduced a joint resolution
providing for the annexation of the
island of San Domingo The resolution
is the first measure of public import
ance introduced by the senator, and
is one that may cause considerable
discussion.
There is at present no proper gov
eminent in the island. There are two
so called governments of Hayti and
San Domingo, or rather. there were
yesterday. They have revolutions so
often on the island that it is almost
impossible to tell from one day to an
other what government Is doing bust
ness.
European nations have a right to de-
mand that some responsible govern
ment be established in the island. They
would be willing to take the island
themselves. The United States stands
in the way, but this nation can not
forever take the role of a dog in the
manager. Which is the proper course
to take the oversight of the islands
affairs? Or to give Europe a free
hand? How many true Americans
would be content with the latter policy?
Senator Hepburn may be several
years ahead of history, but he Is still
in the prime of life, and may live to
see his plan made reality.

ATTACK ON BOND ISSUE

Am important case is coming up be-
fore supreme court Monday on the ap-
plieation of Edward Stein for writ
restraining the state from issuing or
registering state bonds on the grounds
that the states Indebtedness is in ex-
cess of the constitutional limit.
M the decision is in favor of this
contention many important works of
public improvement will be stopped for
want of funds. The attack was made
principally to prevent the payment of
the sugar bounty but is more wide
reaehing in its effects If sustained.
Bond issues for the Pocatello acad-
envy, the Weiser bridge and the Lewis
tona supreme court library building are
among the list attacked and work on
these public improvements will be
stopped If the decision is favorable to
the complaint
The point was raised once before in
the Mcconnell state administration
when the normal school bonds and
wagon road bonds were issued but
those who raised the question were de-
feated and conditions have not ma
terIa1ly changed.

What has been stated before with
reference to flax holds good. The acre
age will be greatly diminished. and the
better the weather is for wheat seeding
the less flax will be sown. This ap-
plies, of course to the older sections
more particularly. In the raw coun-
ties fresh sod will be Sown to flax as
before.
Reports received at Fargo from ali
over the state indicate that the soil is
in unusually fine condition for seeding.
The wheat seeding bas been practically
completed in the northwestern part Of
the state and is more or less adj
vanced on down to the Red river VAL
ley. where it is now in full blast. The
rumors of decreased flax acreage seems
we'll founded. In the northwestern
counties much of the soil has been
cultivated year or two and wheat can
be grown successfully. OF course on
the new breaking flax will be seeded.
but in the central and eastern parts of
the state the flax crop will not be as
large as formerly. There is an increas-
ing sentiment fayoring further di
versification and this is due largely to
the establishment of creameries over
the state. Increased barely acreage is
expected in the eastern part of the
state and large corn crop will be put
