The investigation of the timber
land frauds in Oregon has been
attracting Q great deal of attention
and at last several of the small
offenders have been convicted and
will no doubt have to pay the PEN
atty. But why don't they get after
the big rascals? All during the
trial the evidence published has
pointed strongly towards Binger
Herman. These commissioners
Of the general land Office, as a
party to the fraud, and the special
agents appointed by Herman, were
working hand and glove with the
parties just convicted. Although
it might be hard to prove, there is
little doubt in the minds Of the
people that Herman and his agents
are just as guilty as the poor devils
who have been caught, but they
dare not prosecute them because Of
their political influence, and the
parties who have been made thu
tools of greater rogues must pa,
the penalty, while the real culpri
reaps the reward.

Booster Club.

1t has been suggested that a
Boosters" club be organized in
Idaho for the purpose of advertis-
ing the state wherever it's members
travel. The plan; in one form or
another, is followed in some states,
and it proves very effective.
The obligation taken by each
member is to get himself inter-
viewed in every city he visits, talk
ing of the resources, climate and
other attractions of the state. A
clever man who can tell a good
story can nearly always get an in
terview in a newspaper, especially
when he comes from far distant
point. He can secure an introduce
ton to the editor, the managing
editor, the city editor, or some one
else in more or less authority, and,
if he handle himself we'll and tell
an interesting story, he will be
given space.
The advantages of such a club
will be apparent to every one. We
always meet scrores of men in diff.
ferent portions OF the country
These are mostly persons who know
what is in the state and who car
tell what they know. Organized
into club to "work" the news
papers everywhere, this class would
be a powerful factor in promoting
the development of the stat e

Our Colonial Possessions.

The colonial system unwisely
adopted by our republic, in its eff.
forts to ape the mother country, is
not without its drawbacks, for the
work of throwing around our out
lying provinces the mantle OF
American protection means many
sacrifices of local character.
Just now Porto Rico is demand
ing protection for its coffee inter-
ests, and being an American pos
session is of course entitled to as
much consideration as if it was
contiguous to state.
In order to afford this protect, n
however, it will be necessary to
revise the tariff schedules and re-
move coffee from the free list, rails
ing the price of the berry at least
five cents a pound.
Such tax would bring the gov
eminent about forty-one millions
of dollars per annum in revenues.
Manifestly, it would be cheaper
for the coffee consumers of this
country to buy the entire Porte
Rican product than to pay the tax
imposed by duty of,the character
demanded by that colony.
However, il the people of thu
United States desire to maintain
the colonial system they mus
cheerfully meet such little persona
sacrifices as the payment of forty
one million dollars a year nigh
imply, in order to give to on
colonies the rights and privilege
