The Northwest Mounted Police.
From the World OF Today.

From the World OF Today.
Readiness for duty in any form has
made the royal Northwest mounted
police what they are-the trusted guar.
dams of life and property in western
Canada. Their field is from the United
States bound airy to the arctic coast,
and in this vast territory, 1000 miles
from south to north, 500 scarlet.co ated
men keep peace and order. Through
any part of it, prairie, wilderness or
woods, a defenseless woman a 60
alone and have 40 fear. To make
thus easy the travellers way meant
years of vigilant policing and even
of fighting. Those were stirring times,
when mounted police service had zest
and glory. Today there i. less glory
and more hard work, for as the coun.
try is settling farther north the police
too are moving up and widening their
beats. Smugglers on the border,
thieves on the ranches, criminals in
the settlements. fires in the forest, to
guard against these and to represent
the law in a land that would easily be
lawless are their duties today, and to
these have now been added the car.
riage of the mails in the extreme north
and the protection Of the whale fisher
les on the arctic coast.
The royal Northwest mounted police
are unique. There is no other .ucf
system Of public guardianship in tht
world, nor are there now ia any Other
country quite the same conditions
which called it into being.

will Clear department of Graft.

OYSTER BAY, July 3O.-Secretary
Wilson, of the department of agricul.
ture is expected at Sycamore Hill to.
morrow. His visit will enable him
and the president to discuss the situa-
ton ia the department as it relates to
the investigation now in progress.
All rumors of the intention of Secre.
tary Wilson to resign from the cabinet
may be put aside as merely %conjectur.
al. The president, it may be said, re.
poses implicit confidence in Secretary
Wilson, and is satisfied that he will
solve the difficulties now presented, to
the entire satisfaction of the chief ex.
e~cutive and of the country.
1t is the determination of both the
president and Secretary Wilson to
clear the department of agriculture Of
every form OF "graft." To this end
the likelihood that every bureau OF the
department will be inquired into care
fully, with a view to ascertainine
whether any such condition exists a

tary Wilson has been working to thit

Some have been dismissed outright
while others have been permitted t.
resign. Assurances are given that u
stone will be left unturned t o elimi

| variance with the facts. For the past
twenty-five years this newspaper has
taken pleasure in giving publicity to
successful efforts at farming without
irrigation, but respect for the truth
and the interests of those u~nacquainted
with local conditions required that
the public also be informed that crop
failures have been frequent in come
localities entirely dependent upon the
normal amour. Of precipitation. The
popular demand that irrigation facili.
ties be provided by the federal gov
ernment is in evidence as proof that
large areas of land in this state re.
quire an artificial water supply to pro-
duce satisfactory results.
The position Of this newspaper as
70 the land law problem is we'll known
to its readers. 1t believes the present
laws are not injurious to the public
interests: that the settler who hon.
estly complies with the provisions OF
the desert act, and converts a barren
waste into a profitable crop producer,
should be rewarded for his persever.
ance and industry. 1t believes that
evasions of the law, not the provisions
of the law, are the cause of alleged
evils. 1t believes the Woodworking
settler who can acquire 800 acres from
the government by honest compliance
with present federal regulations, is
just as good a citizen as the man Of
wealth who is able to purchase hun
dreds or thousands of acres from
private owners. 1t believes that the
settlers acquisition of an amount Of
land permitted by existing land laws,
Is not such a menace to the strength
and endurance of the nation as the
enormous holdings of others who Sc.
cured their property by purchase
Reverting to the alleg atoms of land

REGULATION OF RAILWAY RATES.

Circumstantial evidence points to
the organization OF a press bureau by
the railroads of the United States,
which has for its purpose an effort to
Offset the public demand for federal
regulation of transportation rates.
The main argument offered by the
railway companies is that it would be
very unjust to them to permit con-
gress, that is not fully familiar with
railfoad operation, to fix rates.
1t 10 conceivable that some injustice
might be done the companies in this
matter, but it Is also certain that un.
Ger the present system a far greater
injustice has been done to the whole
people OF the nation.
1t is better that the railroads should
get a little the worst of it part of the
time than that the people should get
all of the worst OF it all OF the time.
Let it be hoped, however, that no
injustice will be done to any interest
In this matter.
That the demand for federal regula.
ton of rates should have become so
widespread, the railroads themselves
are principally responsible.
1t was within their power to adjus,
these matters in a satisfactory man
ner, but they failed to do so, and al
lowed public opinion to become crys,
talized upon the subject, and now,
when it Is too late, they are making a
weak and unavailing effort to stem
the tide Of popular sentiment.
The wiser ours for them would
have been to have done their regulat
ing before the present agitation ha,
started, for that is the only way il
which it could have been headed off
