REPUBLICS FAITHFUL SERVANTS

REPUBLICS FAITHFUL SERVANTS
The republic never is IN default OF men to
serve II worthily when the chief OF the state
is honest and able: when he has the eye and
satisfied with no less. So in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines we got the best we
had. Wood. Allen and Hunt and Taft have
each IN his place wrought a great work and
Rico are free and enjoying-the one under her
own banner. the other under the Stars and
Stripes degree OF prosperity and happiness
never known before IN all their troubled story.
AS 10 the Philippines the work done there
by Judge Taft and his associates Will rank
among the highest achievements of colonial
administration recorded in history. Never
since their discovery has there been such
general peace and order; so thorough a pro-
lection OF the pesceable and restraint OF evil
doers; so wide a diffusion Of education: 50
OF its labors. And when they SEQ this energetic
and efficient government carried on, free from
the venality and bribery which formerly
seemed to them a necessity OF existence, then,
principal evil from which they still suffer
has its origin here. Some weil-meaning peo-
ple-and others not well meaning-are con-
stontly persuading them that they are op-
pressed and that they will be given their
liberty. they choose 10 call II, as soon as
the Republican party is overthrown in this
country These the true enemies OF the
F1lipinos and not the men who are striving

its attendant advantages. The so-called anti
imperialists confound in their daily speeches
and writings two absolutely unrelated ideas

ment which we have given the Ellipinos and

not want and know they unable TO main

A MATTER OF VERACITY SENATORS QUESTION THE WORD
 OF EACH OTHER. Patterson of Colorado and Clark @9 Wyoming Engage in Recrimi- : nation-Land Law Bill
 Is Debated.

Washington. March 3l-The attention of the Senate was divided today between the bill for the repeal of the desert land. the timber and stone. and the home stead communication laws and the post office appropriation bill. The repeal bill was sion. and MT. Clark (Wyo) was the principle speaker. He contested the po- sition taken by Mr. Gibson. that there have been great frauds in the adminis- tration of the land laws in the West He declared that there is a lobby in Washington in the interest of the repeal bill, and engaged in a short colluquy with MT Patterson. during which each characterized the statements of the other as untrue
 Mir. Clark criticised the operation of the reservation law, saying that md r 1t two-thirds of the area of his State could not have been withdrawn from en- try. This was not the fault of law, nor were the frauds committed under the desert law, or the timber and stone act, chargeahle to the law. Moreover he did not believe that the frauds are as extensive as charged.
 He admitted the great benefit of the homestead act in the past, but contend ed that unaided by other laws this could not be used for settlement of the arid region. Mir, Clark spoke of the work Of the commission recently sent into the West to investigate the operations of land laws and commended the president Tor his course in this matter. saving that it is a sufficient defence against the charge of impetuosity made against the present chief executive. He charged the agitation for a repeal of the land laws to be for the owners of the lead ing bodies on railroad grant lands in the west The effect of the repeal. be said, would be to take out of the market every acre of public land But the public lands would still be sold. MT. Clark said. and ne outlined system of substitution by means of forest reserve scrip secured through the disposition of railroad lands In forest reserves, for other lands. say- Ing that if Mir Gibsons bill should be- come law, the value of all this land would he doubled. He added:
 Never in the history of land Iegisla- ton has there been such determined such a hare faced lobby as is behind lhls lesisation. and which has been pressing 1t for the past three years It IS no secret that one of the largest hold CTS or these lands recently has boasted at pubic banquet that he had contrib uted %.WO for the passage of this bill"
 MT Hlhson and MT. Patterson both de- lahued ma the name of the man in question, ou. MT Clark declined to give 1t to them. l saving he would not enter into personal tues or that character in the Senate but nS would give the name to any Senator Who might wish it.

corruption which the Democrats vera making. All these, he said had been i founded on MT. Bristow's report, which was a great tribute to the integrity of the Department. He did not consider 1t one of the functions of Congress to take 1 charge of the interior affairs of the d. , partments. 0l MT. Patterson interrupted that the iA vestigations recommended by MesslN Conrad and Bonaparte had not been uH dertaken. Mir. Deliver contended, ho ever, that they had been made by tI3 department. He gave credit to all in s8 thority. from the President down, f A the prosecution. 4l
 Mir. Money said that the heading of tls report, Charges Concerning Members d Congress was distinct charge, an asked MT. Deliver who was responsibl for it. MT Deliver replied that he CT not give the information desired. F had been informed that the headis
 been traced to proof reader in 4 A. ernment printing office.
 MT. Money declared it absurd iOQ-

 In response to a request from& terson. MT. Penrose explained tn S vision appropriating $2.OOOOOO for the chase of the Pennsylvania Railroad "s.t for a postottice in New York, saying that an exceptional opportunity was present. ca to secure very desirable property ana that the building was greatly needed. He said that the land was worth more than it was proposed to pay for 1t.
 MT. Patterson replied that in view of the fact that New York City had a post oft1ce building costing between $5.OOO 0oG anC s6,O00O00 and that there was a pro- vision in the bill for rental at the rate of S90.OO0 a year for twenty-five years for another location. 1t struck him that the plums were being crowded too close7 ly in one city. He asked for an expla1 nation of the relationship of the pro1 posed purchase to the Pennsylvania Rail- road Company and the New York Cen1 tra! Company. Mir Fairbanks said thad the postofflce building at the lower end of the city was entirely inadequate i'd conduct the postal business in New York and MT. Penrose said that $70,O00 a yeaI would be saved in the carriage of malls if the proposed building on Thirty-flrsd Street should be erected.
 The report on the agricultural bill wa$ agreed to, and after a brief executiv9 session the Senate at 5:15 adjourned.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-04-01

MT. Clark replied that he had meant merely to say that MT. Patterson must have observed the lobby, and he with drew the statement that the Colorado Senator had positive knowledge of its existence.
 ReplyinG, MT. Patterson admitted his sympathy with the movement for the re- peal of the land laws, and said that this sympathy was due to the fact that he lives in a public land State, and had had opportunity to observe the operations of these laws. He expressed the opinion that eight out of ten acres of land in Colorado and Wyoming had been secured throhgh fraudulent means.
 Mir. Clark-I knew nothing about cond!- tons in Colorado, but what the Senator says about Wyoming is unqualifiedly un- true.
 With this the incident closed. The pcstofice appropriation bill was then taken up. MT. McCreary read from tEe message of Ire President in regard to the First Assistant Postmaster General O. fee and of the indictments against pea vers. Machen, Tyner and other oiilcidls' to show conditions in the Department which he said warranted and made h0S essary an investigation.
 Tt has been q strange spectacie' ss'li MT. McCreary, when members or th% House of Representatives, who nave oe- mended an investigation ana IeAolni' have been compelled to abandon that re- quest and themselves have 10 go oeiolc an investigation committee.
 The policy of the Republicans in regard to the immigration and Statehood TOT Arrzona and Oklahoma. was severely criticised by Mir. McCreary' who salo Re n. .bIican pledges had been broken. The reasons, said MT. McCreary' are that tba Renublicans are getting ignorant for ejgr votes and fear they will not get the votes of the new States if they are ad- mitted."
 Mir McCreary declared that there had been more wasteful extravaganza during tbe mast two administrations. and espe- cislly under the present administration, than ever before. He accused the Re r,- -hIicans of obstructing the passage of the Department Building bills in Wash ington.
 This latter statement Mir Hoar object el to as unfair. in view of the fact that the building bill was pressed by MT Fairbanks. Republican. and was op- posed by Mir German. a Democrat Mir Gcrman took exceptions. saying he had only opposed the location of the pro- posed buildings.
