thereby authorizing him 10 sell and

of plaintiff's title and interest there

succeeded to the Butler title. The
purchase prics of the land was SUBJ
eequently paid to the government
and patent thereafter issued to
plaintiff for the land. It is held:
That the application to locate the
land, having been accepted and ap.
proved by the land department, vested
In plsintiff an equitable title. even
though the purchase price was not
then paid. which passed by the deed
from Walker to Butler.

The roads are softening up, and
we will now soon be hearing more
"good roads" talk. But this will
not alter the impressive fact that
there will be no good roads in this
county until some one pays for their
making, and it is Just as evident
and impressive that those who are
to be the most benefited by good
roads are the one who must Pay
for them-the taxpayers Of the
community. There is good roads
bill up in the House now which
puts the cost upon the owners OF
property abutting on the road
when Il majority of the residents
of Il certain territory vote in favor
of road improvement. No one is
going to make the people pres
ent of good roads, SO the prospect
of anything better than we have is
going to be slim until the people
get busy on the subject of road i'm
provement.

In the matter of trust regula-
tions and prosecutions the Repub-
Iican party has taken all the wind
out of the Democracy's sails. Be
fore the election last fall the Dem
ocrats asserted that the Republi-
can party was standing IN with the
trusts and if returned to power
would do nothing to restrain the
growing greed and arrogance of
the latter. Now, even before
President Roosevelt is inaugurated
the country is given a demonstra-
tion of the purpose of the Rerlb-
lican party in this matter and its
capacity to carry it ont. Nnmer-
ous state legislatures arc also tax
lug a hand in the fight, generally
where the Republicans control. The
Democrats can only stand back and
gasp at the precipitancy Of the Re
publicans in pIunging into the fight

and the temerity with which the
conflict is faced. With the Dem

Roosevelt to be Commended.

The Presidents proposal to make
the fight on "Standard Oil" the
feature of his administration finds
a strong response in the people.
Daily developments increase the
popular conviction that this trust
of trusts has reached Il point in ur-
Iawfrl power and cutthroat meth
DDS where it must be stopped.
\ trust which is guilty of such
spitework as this one has dared to
commit in Kansas. virtually kill
ing for the time being an industry
upon which thousands of livin9s
depend, for no other purpose than
to punish the people for encour-
aging competition, has reached the
limit of liberation.
Incident to this vast Industrial
crime, also. facts havs been dis
covered pointing to probable
freight Juggling conspiracy enter
ed into with one Of the great trans
continental rail Dads. Whether
the trusts action in this case, pro
vided the conspiracy should be
shown, may be defined and crimi-
nally punished will be an interest
ing problem for the administration
to solve.
That Congress can be compelled
by the President, supported by
the people, to take radical action
against the Standard Oil company
may be doubted. The House OF
Representatives is willing, but the
Senate's position would probably
be antogonistic to the popular pur
pose. The present Senate dares
much in thu way of defying thu
country's will. But the Bureau 0:
Commerce and the Interstate Com
merce Commission will be power
full agents to the President in any
event, and the federal courts are
open to the administration. Aside
from what the President by his ad
ministration may actually accom-
piish, his attitude is strongly stim
ulative to the States, which by in
dividual Legislation may undoubt
edly achieve some beneficial re
suits, and his attitude is that of
leadership Of public opinion. Mr.
Roosevelt deserves the gratitud
of every man, independently o
political considerations, for tn
pronounced stand he has take,

should not Kansas be able to do
the same with an oil refinery. The
only y reason why Kansas effort in

because it attacks Il more powerful

faded away in the nnprotesing ac-
quiescance in their operations.

We see the WaImsiey game law
has been passed by the legislature.
The measure is Il good one in It's
protection features. but what will
it avail if no interest is taken by
the people themselves in the pro
lection of wild game animals and
the birds. The old game and bird
protective law was sufficient. only
not enforced. For instance. the
leople in the western part Of Iron
county went out the other day and
illegally slaughtered twenty or
thirty deer, which were rendered
helpless to escape because Of the
ice crust upon the ground. In the
southern part of oar own county
not long ago, as reported in the
local columns of this paper, par
ty Of boys went forth, visited a
robin rooSt and rnthIessly slaugh-
tered 300 of the birds. There has
not been, and probably will not be,
any information filed against the
parties who perpetrated this vio-
Iencc on helpless creatures and the
law, and if the people themselves
are inert in this matter we cannot
expect the officers of the law to
exert themselves. Game laws are
of no benefit unless the violaters
thereof are punished.

If then Il way can be found to
