LAND FRAUDS AND OTHERS.
Three Years of Thievery In Various
Departments of the Government.

Three Years of Thievery In Various
Departments of the Government.
An epidemic of land frauds pervadeS
all the western states and would doubt
less be just as prevalent in the other
parts of the United States if there was
government land to gobble. These
frauds are distinct and are manipulate
ed by q different set of men from those
discovered in the Indian land section.
For some occult reason the prosecu-
ton of those charged with swindling
the Indians out of their lands has lag
ged, and no one has been punished.
But in the other cases indictments have
been found against several persons in
the United States court of the District
of Columbia. and the indictments show
that these frauds have been in active
progress for six or seven years. Ac-
cording to the evidence produced by
thousands of dollars into the pockets
of the principal conspirators.
The revelations as to the extent of
the frauds made before the grand jury
and the number of officers of the gov
eminent involved are reported to have
shocked the members of the grand jury.
The evidence must have been bad in
deed if a Washington grand jury was
shocked by it, and it will be inter-
esting to note who are the high off,
Gals caught in the net, for the grand
jury would hardly be electrified by evil
dence against minor culprits.
The land frauds are only a small
matter compared with other frauds
against the government that have been
partially exposed. The pOstoffice frauds.
the silk frauds, the armOr plate frauds,
the rice frauds in the Philippines, the
Nellis seed frauds in the agricultural
department., the District of Columbia
defalcations and frauds, the navy de-
partment frauds, the Philippine def
aIcations and embellishments - these
are some of the more conspicuous
frauds that have been discovered. Then
there is the Wood scandal, the Dietrich
and Burton senatorial scandals. the
Littauer army glove scandal and the
Delaware and other postoffice scandals
in connection with the civil service.
The list might be prolonged, for the
last two or three years have been most
prolific of frauds and scandals The
efforts of the administration to enforce
the criminal laws against the lesser
rascals while allowing the greater ones
to escape, either by virtue of the stat
ute of limitations or for lack of activ-
ity upon the part Of the officers of the
government, is the greatest scandal Of
all.
This may be a reform administration
and anxious to stop rascality and
grating, but it has been signaIly IN
fortunate In securing convictions and
in Furnishing the thieves, and there
would appear to be but sorry prospect
of reform unless the voters decide to !
turn the rascals OUT

In another speech which Mr.. Cham
berlain made in 1885 he referred to
those times when protection starved
the poor" He also said:
THAT is not retrospect which 1
think would be favorable to any party
or any statesman who should have the
audacity to propose that we should go
back 10 those times"
Well. Mr.. Chamberlain now finds in
himself a statesman with sufficient au-
dacity to propose just such a move
ment. He looked around in the United
States when he came over here to
choose a wife and saw how easy it
was to delude the people with sophis-
teal protectionist arguments. Seeing
how his free trade friends here, ROose-
welt and Lodge, had got on in politics
since they began to worship at the pro
lection shrine, he finally concluded that
it might be possible for him to work
the protection swindle on the English
voters and by so doing put the whole
push OF British statesmen clean out of
business. He could then run Great
Britain and perhaps all her colonies
alone and could look down upon the
king himself. He concluded TO burn
all his free trade bridges behind him,
to disregard all reason and historical
facts and to rush headlong into the pro-
lection breach. He now has the Eng
lish stage Where will he be next year?
1t might be well to suggest to some
of our protectionist statesmen who are
now praising Chamberlain so much
that, judging from the recent byelec-
tionS held in England and Scotland,
the voters there are about certain to
repudiate Chamberlain and protection
and make back number statesman
This would destroy much of the polit-
ical value of his speeches for use in
this country. 1t might be safer to run
into the Congressional Record some Of
the arguments and speeches used to
bolster up the rotten system of protec-
ton in Russia, Germany, Italy and
France. These poverty stricken pro-
tectionist countries of Europe are ten
times more likely to be with our Re
publican statesmen next fall than is
England If these arguments could be
printed in the languages of continental
Europe, they could be used as cam
paign documents for circulation among
the millions of immigrants who have
come over from those countries during
the past few years and many of whom
are now out of work and will have
plenty of time to read economic argu-
ments. BYRON W. HOLT.

That ChamberIain's Late Speeches
VIII Prove to BE a Republican
Boomerang.
Many modern day protectionists Were
once free traders. 1t is likely that they
would have remained free traders if
they had not desired to go into politics.
Thus both President Roosevelt and his
understudy, Senator Lodge, were both
free traders of u most pronounced type
when they left college and before they
decided, after closely inspecting polit-
ical and party conditions, to support
Blaine rather than Cleveland in 1884.
They We're then, along with Joseph
Chamberlain, members of the Golden
club in England.
At the present time, when General
Dick is filling the Congressional Rec
ord with Chamberlain's speeches and
when other Republicans are literally
quoting his speeches, it may be well to
call attention TO the fact that the Cob
den club is now making Mr. Chamber
lain feel very uncomfortable simply by
making him face his past record. 1t is
doing this by putting parts of his re-
cent speeches and parts of his speeches
of fifteen or twenty years ago in paral-
lei columns. What, for instance, could
make statesman appear more ridicu-
lous than the two following quotations,
one from Chamberlains Birmingham
speech of 1908 and the other from a
speech delivered in 1885, when times
were hard and n great many persons
were clamoring for protection under
the guise of fair trade" and 'reciproc-
