IS OFFICIAL VnNALITY HPIpRNIc7

Disclosures of oficia corruption in various states
have become common lattery that even the devel-
opments at Portland excite only moderate comment.
The exposure of land frauds in Oregon already has
involved Of the states and representative
in congress- together with several other public officials
and citizens Of previously high standing The reported
confession of perjury by Judge Tanner partner of
Senator Mitchell is of the astonishing episodes
in this seeming cycle of rascality in high places.
The revelations of official venality in Missouri
founded the whole American people when they first
to public notice AT that time it seemed to be
generally assumed that Missouri exceptionally bad
"a sort of black sheep in the Union flock The finger
of scorn pointed at Missouri from every point of
the compass and of the fingers adorned with
the ring of the Golden state But several states that
ready to show their fingers that occasion
now have their hands buried deeply in their pockets
Investigations of corruption quite fragrant that
revealed in Missouri is progressing in California
Oregon, Kansas, Illinois and other states not to
mention growing suspicious of official dishonesty in at
least dozen
What this apparent epidemic of official
ruption that is spreading all the United States?
Is it an indication that the European prophecies of
century ago at last approaching fufllment PROV
ing that republican government cannot endure per
manenty? Certain it is that government endure
in a condition of moral rottenness at the
But the present epidemic of official venality which
has appeared in many states is the doctors say
amenable to treatment Smallpox, cholera yellow fever
and bubonc plague stamped out in these days by
drastic treatment The epidemic of venaity also
be stamped out by such treatment and stamped out
efectually that it will appear again within gen
Grafton.
AS The Herald has pointed out heretofore the peo-
pie accountable for the character of their public
servants Bad would not reach the halls of legis-
laton attain any other public position if the people
did their duty at the polls 1t is not putting the
too bunty in fact to that the people deserve just
such humiliation as is felt in California and other
a result of disclosures of official dishonesty.
The method of treatment in subduing this epidemic
of venaity is simple but warranted to be effective.
Prosecute every official rogue reentlessy and give him
the extreme limit of exemplary punishment. Then,
after having turned the rascals out fumigae deodor

by determination henceforth to put official
guard who is not above suspicion
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-13
RACE GAMBLING AND THIEVERY

In all its criticisms of racing practices at Ascot park
The Herald has drawn the line sharply between legiti
racing sport and the kind that is merely disguise
for gambling Cafornians of all classes are proud of
the states eminence producer of the famous
horses known to the American turf. The breeding of
such stock in fact is of the notable industries
of the state although it does not figure conspcuousy
in the financial account California more than any
other state excepting Kentucky, is interested directly
shielding the honorable sport of horse racing from
such association is in the dsreputable gambling
feature,
singular coincidence is noted by the Sacramento
Union between horse gambling and the criminal
statistics of California. Attention is called to the fact
state aggregate $1O5SOOO. In this species of crime
California exceeds every other state in the union per
capita and is second only New York regardless of
disparity in population. Hence Sacramento con-
temporary is led to say: The two distinctions that
have California-high record for embezzement
and equally high record for horse betting-go
naturally together. Horse gambling makes the
bezzler; San Quentin and Folsom filled with the
unfortunaes who have made Californas en-
bezzement and the pockets of the gamblers
are filled with the embezzled gold"
Not only is track gambling responsible for en-
bezzement and other crimes but it is running high
type horse breeding industry of the state. AS the
Sacramento Union truly says THE average Californian
is a true sportsman and loves horse but unless the
grating element that operates gambling parks and
develops embezzers be suppressed horse raising in
this is doomed"
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-13
FOREST RESERVE TRANSFER

The Herald has received from the federal forest
supervisor copy of the recent act of congress whereby
all the national forest transferred from the
department of the interior the department of agri
culture Accompanying the copy of the act the
official instructions from Secretary Wilson to the head of
the forest service relating TO the transfer
The bill in question places the entire forest system
of the country where ought to have been put when
the department of agriculture organized. Control
of the forests properly belongs where it has just
placed and efficient management in future may be
expected In taking the additional responsibility thus
imposed upon him Secretary Wilson says The vital
importance of forest the great industries of
the states will be largely increased the near
future by the continued steady advance in settlement
and development The permanence of the resources of
the reserves is therefore indispensable to continued
prosperity and the policy of this department for their
protection and will invariably be guided by this
fact always bearing in mind that the conservative use
of these resources in way conflicts with their per-
manent value"
Under the new management of the forests, as di-
reced by Secretary Wilson, the water wood and forage
of the will be conserved and used for the bene
fit of the home builder first of ALL upon whom depends
the best permanent of lands and alike"
