MisgOvernment in Korea.

When we tire of the contemplation
of misgovernlnent and bad practice at
home let US look abroad and rest our
eyes upon K orea, for instance.
Korea is one of the oldest nations
now in existence 1t had sort of
civilization about the same sort it
has now-ceuturies before Rome
covered the first of its seven hills.
Rome rau its race and disappeared so
to speak, but Korea moves slowly,
and is now after the lapse of more
than three thousands years, practical
ly as good as new. The laws under
which the primitive Koreans lived
and died have undergone few
changes. Abrogations and amend
ments to Korean laws are ''jurisim
prudence. " The punishment pre-
scribed by Korean law are worthy of
the consideration of any one who

Gooding on Forest Reserves.

IT have never objected to the
principle of or the reasons given for
forest reserves, y said Governor
Gooding, recently, "but it seemed to
me as if the thing were carried too
far. Over % per cent of the area Of
the State Of Idaho has already been
set apart for forest reserves, aud
more is to be. Th lands open to
settlement are becoming very restrict
ed in consequence. In Kootenai
county, for instance, forest reserves
cover 68 per cent of it's area; in Ida
no county, 56 per cent. Although
unreserVedly in favor of the protec
tion of our timber, I believe that the
regulations are too severe. Too
much tillable land is included in
the boundaries OF the forest res srves
The rule should give settler an op-
portunity to make home on tiilable
land anywhere, the restrictions being
confined to the timbered areas. The
reserves are becoming very serious
matter to the sheepmen of Idaho.
Unless they can have access to them
with thei sheep many of them will
have to go out of the business.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
will p p'obably visit Idaho soon, as
will Clifford Pinchot, chief Of the
bureau of forestry, and we will can
vass the matter with them, and see
what can be done.''

Tearning for Land.

For some time there has been a
great deal of excitement over land
fraud, and people are Mortified at the
doings Of United States Senators
and Congressmen. Most of us, who
have not been caught, pretend that
we cannot understand how men can
bring themselves to perpetrate such
dishonest tricks. There is really no.
thing so very startling about the re-
Violations that have recently been
made. In general way everybody
knew that those things we're going on.
but nobody thought there was any-
thing wicked about it. What is the
use of trying to bung our eyes over
what has been done in Oregon and
Montana or North Idaho, when a
twenty minutes ride in almost any
direction from this town will dis
close the trail of the land grafters.
Scattered here and there through the
sage brush are faded burrows, dumb
but eloquent witnesses of lies told in
final proof on desert claims. What
per cent of homestead entries are
made by men who in very truth and
good faith expect to make homes up
on the landP What man ever avail
ed himself of the timber culture act
with any notion of forestizing the
desert? Pooh, Pooh! let US not add
rank hypocricy to the rest of our
sins. At some period in the life Of
every normal man comes an over
powering desire for land. He hung
ers and thirsts for land. All his air
castles are built on the public do
main. He Graves every fiat and
gentle slope that comes athwart his
vision. He yearns and yearns and
yearns for land. He borrows money,
without prospect of repayment, to
buy land. He commits mayhem and
perjury, beyond hope of redemption,
for land. Talk about the infatuta-
tion of the sexes, why a man would
desert the best wife he ever bad for a
! quarter section when he is land loon
ey. The only salvation for a man
when he has got it is not to run a.
muck of large area of public do
main If he does, he is lost, because,
forthwith, he Will proceed to qualify
himself for the penitentiary. When
a man gets the land craze, he is as
irresponsible as rabbit in fits. We
would not swear to it, but we know
noble merchants, astute lawyers, grave
judges, humane doctors, pious elders,
virtuous matrons, weeping widows
and lone orphans who have done
things in land they wouldn't care to
unearth. We suspect it was the uni
versal prevalence of land conscience
that baffled Diogenes in his search
for an honest man.

home for themselves and posterity.
Their wives and their little oues.
when they came to think of it, had
: become deeply attached to that par
ticular land. They looked forward
with soulful yearnings to the time
whe they would go there to live a.
mong lizards, horned toads and
eternal drought. 1t would be
terri ole thing to smash all those fine
expectations. It was worth q fortune
to risk it. But-and here again,
gentlemen were carried away by
magnaimous rage-they would risk it
aii-home, happiness, broken hearts,
posterity-for the people, and all
they demanded in compensation for
the dreadful sacricf1e was 200 per cent
profit on 80 day investment.
It seems to us the Government
ought not to quibble over little
thing like that in the presence of SO
much pathos and generosity. Think
of the laoerated feelings! We
wouldn't have our feelings plowed
and narrowed and mangleG that way
for 900 per cent. When we think
of what those poor Nampa gentlemen
have already suffered, in anticipation,
and what they are still willing to
undergo, our heart bleeds for them
and we are almost ready to cry: Let
the old reservoir go to the devil.
Ten thousand reservoirs coudI not
wash away the tears from the cheeks
of those Nampa gentlemen, their
wives, their children, or their poor,
dumb, unrborn posterity.

Emmett to Boom.

The following is Senator Way
mans opinion of Emmett, as told to
a Capital News reporter:
"I didn't tell you all 1 knew
yesterday" said Senator Wayman
recently as he leaned back and put
his feet on Presidents Hurtt's desk.
"You should see how the town of
Emmett is picking up, the effect of
the bench settlement. The Canyon
Canal Company is crowding the
works as rapidly as men and teams
can do it and there is no doubt that
fully one half the lands under the
ditch will be supplied with water in
time for next seasons crops, and
possibly a greater amount thaa that.
The entire work will be completed in
less than two years.
''The settlers are all in active pos
session of their lands of sagebrush
and getting ready to raise full crop
the coming season. These are the
finest lands in one body in the state,
and bringing 300 acres of such
ground under cultivation at one sea-
son will make dizzy times about
Emmett, until they get used to the
prosperity.
'tWhat else? l expect to be in
town tomorrow, and III have another
story ready by that time"
