LAND FRAUDS.

The Interior Department Is just as
honeycombed with scandals and filled
with grafters as the Post OiIlce,
though but little has been said about
It. The General Land Once, If In
vestigated, would far ontstrip, In the
amount involved the frauds In the
Post once. The little already ex-
posed shows the vast qualifications of
the land ring and the enormous acre
age they have wrongfully appropria-
ted The claim that the Roosevelt Ad-
miaistration Is willing and anxious to
punish grafters and prevent stealing
Is not borne out by the lack of prose
cution OF the land ring. There IL an
on!nous quiet In the Interior Depart
mcnt at Washington; orders have been
given that no one, under threat OF dis
mlssal, must give out any informa-
tion. Months ago Secretary Hitchcock
promised that directly the grafters
were corralled, the facts should be
furnished to the public, so either the
plunderers are still at large, or 1t is
feared that exposure will hurt the
party" Tho claim that this is a re-
form administration is not substan-
tiated by what is being done, but its
whole efforts are being used to per-
petuate itself. instead Of cleansing the
government BY Furnishing the grafters

OLYMPIA WASHINGTON: FRIDAY MORNING. NOV IL.

from st. Joseph to Sacramento, 1919
station. 200 station keepers, 200 assis-
tant station-keepers, so riders, and 500
horses, to cover the 1850 miles be-
tween Sacramento and st. Joseph, at
distances averaging 200 miles there
were division agents to provide for
emergencies.
The life OF the Pony Express was
short. 1t began on April 3. 1860,
with a weekly service. From June 10,
OF the same year, it was twice week.
Virtually no aid was extended to the
line, except the issue of government
revolvers and cartridges to the riders.
When the first telegraph line across
the continent was completed-that OF
the Pacific Telegraph company, Oct.
"a. 1S6l-the Pony Express passed
ou. of existence. In its sixteen
months of existence, it cost, for equip
ment, $1,00O0O0; for maintenance,
$4,000 per month; for expenses due
to the Nevada Indian war, $75, 600;
other incidental expenses, $4,000.
This total is 100000. The total re.
ceipts were less than $500,00O, leaving
a net loss OF over 100000.
This article is already too long to
describe the Indian fighting which
was incidental to the Pony Express
service. Many of the riders were
killed by Indians on the war-path.
W. F. Cody buffalo BilD was ior a
short time in his early manhood, one
OF the riders, and in his autobiography
he tells in succinct diction, his ex-
periences. But, for the one man who
escaped the Indians. there were a
dozen who fell before them. To them,
the men who fell in doing their duty,
let us give honor.

ONE SECRET OF JAP SUCCESS.
The Health Of the Soldier is a Matter Of the
Gre atest Importance.

The Japanese army engaged in shoot
ing the Russians is teaching the rest
of the world how to live. The great
lesson OF this war is that death from
disease incident to campaigning can
be prevented. Major Louis Seamen,
military medical man back from
Japan, read paper before the Asso-
citation OF Military Surgeons at St.
Louis lately that contained some
marvellous information. When Japan
began to prepare for fighting the
greatest attention was paid to the
medical department. A great Japan
ese medical authority said the Rus.
SLAMS may put 100000 in the field.
Many of them will die OF army life dis.
eases. Japan will put 100000 men in
the field. None will die from other
diseases than collisions in battle.
Up to July l there were no diseases
in the Japanese army. There were no
typhoid or other intestinal diseases
that marked the camps of Alger,
Chickamauga and Miami during the
Spanish-American war. During our
war with Spain seventy per cent. of
the soldiers that perished died from
diseases. Two hundred and sixty men
were killed. and 1862 died in camps.
Up to July l the proportion OF jap
anese soldiers dying from disease to
those killed was two per cent. The
Japanese have abolished sickness from
the army.
They did it, DR.. Seamen says, by
testing all water to be used for drink.
ing. The soldiers were lectured on
the proper foods to eat. The smallest
squad has 3 portable bath. So thor.
ough are the Japanese that the SOL
diers are directed to keep their finger
nails closely pared and clean.
OF the thousand returned wounded
to Toxic before July l not one died.
There are no fever camps, as there
were in this country six years ago.
Thus, Japan saves all her troops for
the bullet. The "silent foe," says the
military observer, claims none.
The peaceful nations can learn
from Japan that disease is matter OF
neglect.
