HEPBURN FEARLESS FOR PEG.
PIES RIGHTS.

Senator Hepburn again showed hin
greatness at the irrigation congress
Tuesday night, when. despite the child
like and malicious efforts Of a few
champions Of the forest reserve policy
to discredit his remarks he stood his
ground and placed before the dele
gates assembled the true views of the
forestry policy as seen by the ma
jority Of the people Of Idaho.
He again demonstrated at this time.
as he has SO often In the past that
the interests Of the people he repre-
sents are first with him.
The people Of Idaho do not approve
Of the forest reserve policy as inau-
gurated by Mr.. Pinchot. They do not
approve Of 1t because the entire idea
OF forest reserves has been overdone
In the state of Idaho Where thou
sands OF acres OF land should be
thrown open to settlement, and the
population. wealth and influence Of the
state increased. the land is withheld
for the interests Of few corporations
in order that they may flourish at the
expense Of the welfare of the state. !
Senator Hepburn knew all of these
conditions. Against the opposition of
older and more influential members of
the senate he fought the question out
and forced recognition for his cause.
At the National Irrigation congress.
Tuesday. the matter was up for dis
cussion. Knowing that the sentiment
of the delegates there, most of whom
represented corporations, was against
MIN. he took the platform and de.
nounced the entire scheme, exposing
the motives which prompted the speak
ers in advocating the policy of Mr..
Pinchot.
A few malicious and small minded
advocates Of the policy who expected
to belittle the efforts of a great man
by child's play tried to hiss him from
the platform.
Geese hiss" he said to them .rm
too old to be scared by that process.
! will have hearing" He then pro-
ceeded to take the matter I'D In its
true light, and vigorously fought for
the peoples rights.
Some papers have tried to make the
great senator's efforts seem ridiculous
and have used the disgraceful scenes
as capital and tried to make them re-
heet upon Senator Hepburn instead

GOOD CANADIAN SCHEME.

) Canada is now getting a large emmi
i grafton from the United States. This
II probably the first time in the his
tory of the nation that there has been
: a pronounced exodus of the people to
). another country. True, this is about
I the first time that country has had
!. anything near our own advantages to
! offer, and the fact that it is so near
|, ohr own fertile territory makes it the
more significant now.
Western Canada is good country.
. The Canadian government proposes,
| too, that the world shall know it, and
that the knowledge given out shall
have the stamp of the government.
To this end it maintains at the
points at which probable emigrants
will be secured, official agents who are
equipped to give out the fullest infor-
nation about any part of Western
Canada, and is prepared to substan-
tiate his declarations with the proof
Of products.
We are not boosting Canada-it
seems to be able to boost itself-but
We are boosting the methods it is
taking to get people to settle there.
Western Canada knows, as does
every other new country, that what
Ii needed is men-men to transform
the lands into producing farms, men
to build homes and towns.
| Stragglers may come without per-
sistent persuasion, but the crowds
only come when the opportunities are
presented in 8n emphatic manner.
i The Canadian agents have no land
to sell, and therefore have a larger
Influence with the majority of pros
pective settlers than the real estate
man, be he ever so honest.
Would it not be good idea for the
real estate men who will meet at Bis
marck in few days to consider the
Question of securing legislation in this
state looking to system Of securing
Semigrants from outside the state on
the plan now used by Canada?
There agents would be able to pre-
isent to the people in their homes the
ifacts about the several parts of the
|jstate, and when the Immigrant ar
rived at his destination the real estate
man would be the beneficiary of the
|tamd sale.
! This state needs more people, not
Dnly in the newer portions, but in the
plder. Large farms must in time sup
bort more people; closer and more in
|tensified farming must be done so that
HE state will be made to give forth
he full measure of her wealth.
Anything that will help to do this
ID for the benefit Of all the people and
hOuld be encouraged.

Judge Not.
[St. Paul News

The busy world doesn't care much
when Il man dies. Death is routine.
1t is natural. Why look up when the
procession passes?
And if we can forget the mighty, and
the rich, and the powerful, when they
pass away, it is asking much of hui
grave of one who died in a Missouri
city the other day.
He was what is known as round
err and he was just like a million
other FOUNDERS" To the extent Of
his ability, he purchased all the toys
that are for sale and the pace left him
young face and snowy hair You
know the type.
If he spoke to woman, her repu-
tation suffered. Mothers told their
daughters to fear him and all like
him. He had many men acquaintance
and no friends. He was cynical,
skeptical, brilliant; a drunkard, a
gambler, roue. The hearse that car
ried his body went unattended, and
over in barroom, man said: Il
guess Dick went to hell all right"
An investigation OF the dead man
effects showed that years before he
had arranged for the support of girl
of the slums of New York. Her every
need had been met. She had been
cleaned, clothed, fed, educated. Every
week a portion of the mans salary
had gone for her support. She had
grown up to be grand, self-reliant,
noble, good woman, who only knew
that from hazy somewhere mys-
FERROUS someone had cared for her.
Every night of her life she prayed God
to bless the unknown.
And he never saw the child. He did
not allow those in charge of her to
even tell him her name or her where
abouts. She was stranger. He re-
fused to have her in any manner iden-
titled with his reputation.
In the dead mans pocket was this
scrap of writing:
please do not get hysterical over
my so-called philanthropy. Every man
owes a debt to society This applies
especially to bachelors. 1 always pay
my debts"
And who shall say that across the
record of this mans life there is not
a white mark; or that on the judg-
ment day, before the great throne,
the tears of woman, that woman
who prayd and never knew for whom
she prayed, may not serve to wipe
out the sins of lifetime?
Judge not.

Yankee Doodle Girls.

The Yankee Doodle Girls, bur-
lesque show, brimful of patriotism
will be the Offering at the Metropoli-
tan tonight. The show is one of the
newest organizations of it's kind on
the road, and the fact that it is under
the direction of r. w. Dinkins is a
sufficient guarantee that it is all that
can be desired. Judging from the
names of the artists who make up
the cast, it is one of the highest sal
aried of burlesque shows. The COM
pany carries five complete sets of
scenery. One of the malone, the New
York Hippodromo, cost as much as it
usually takes to equip an entire COM
pany. This reproduction of the famous
New York amusement enterprise is
in the closing burlesque called, "a
Trip to the Hippodrome." "A Mis-
fitable Insurance Company" is the
title of the opening part, which is
bright comedy and lively and patrio-
tic musical number. Great attention
has been paid to the selection of the
vaudeville acts and they are as fol-
lows: Smith, Champion and COM
pany in a clever sketch; Anna Yale,

forly assessors in one county would
hardly agree upon what the worth OF
property is, even if there was not j
disposition in many instances to keep
the assessed value down in order to
reduce taxes.
The fact is that there are in almost
every county q large violation of val
ues, and while the county board Of
equalization may attempt to rectify
this lack of uniformity, is apparent
even after the board has done with il.
There must be some basis, and while
there could be deviation from this
basis were the assessors disposed to
do so, there would be less danger than
now where the valuation is a matter
of individual judgment without COM
parison.
Suppose in one township horses are
assessed at fifty dollars each, and in
another at one hundred-these being
the respective standards around
which the horse values are grouped.
And suppose that the equalization
board fails to detect the difference,
and tax levies are therefore placed
upon them. The people of the one
township are compelled to pay twice
as much to the common fund as the
other. The injustice is apparent.
If ic noSiar nninf nnt a 6aflpt
than to propose a remedy, it must be
confessed that with the present town.
ship plan of local government, uni
form taxation for the county is de-
cidedly difficult.
But the evil touches the pocketbook
of the tax payers and therefore their
hearts, and should be given careful
attention by the law makers.

OUR FUEL SUPPLY.

The recently announced coal scare
ity in this city has emphasized the
need of depending on a nearer coal
field than Pennsylvania for the fuel
to keep warm state where the muir
curry occasionally takes a tumble
towards thirty.
A man who would go twenty miles
to buy pound of coffee when he could
procure the article within one mile
would have a committee inQuirying
into his sanity within twenty-four
hours.
That just what North Dakota is
doing today. She is sending to Penn
sylvania for fuel when there is enough
within her own borders to last for
centuries.
AS has been pointed out in these
columns, there is no better fuel in the
world than good Ignite. 1t is clean,
burns we'll and makes strong heat.
The western part of the state is en-
tirely undertake with the finest de-
posits in the world.
Its sale, especially in the eastern
part of the state, needs to be pushed,
and once it becomes the accepted fuel
of the northwest, there would be no
danger of fuel famines, such as have
been narrowly avertetl in the past

Troubles Enough of His Own.
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune.1

Secretary Root is taking great trou-
BILE to explain to the senate and the
people that our delegates to Algeciras
are forbidden to consider any but
commercial questions. Commercial
questions are so small part of those
considered by the conference, and our
commercial interests in Morocco are
SO inconsiderable, that no explanation
on the secretary's part is likely to
overtake and alter the impression
made on the world by our participa-
ton. We shall be greatly fortunate If
this do not return to embarrass us
hereafter.
One reason why we ought to keep
out of European entanglements is that
we have troubles enough of our own
in the American hemisphere. These
would be increased by such participa-
ton of European nations in their set
tlement as we have been urged to
make in the settlement of the affairs
of Morocco. With what grace can we
refuse to join conference invited by
Germany or France to consider the in
ternal status and foreign relations of
Venezuela or Santo Domingo?
We have probably protected the Pa
mama canal from complications by ac-
quiring territorial rights there. But
we have only the vague pretensions
of the Monroe doctrine in Venezuela
and Santo Domingo. The former is on
the brink of comic opera war with
France. The latter is exposed to
debt collecting raid ny Germany, un-
less we succeed in carrying through
the very delicate and complicated ar
rangement made by the president and
awaiting the approval of the senate.
Either event would menace Ameri-
can commercial interests indirectly. We
shall steal through the complication
as best we can. Probably we shall
come out all right, as we have in
previous complications. But success
depends more than anything else on
keeping absolutely clear OF any kind
OF joint political action with European
powers in relation to minor American
states. ~ ~ aSe
Every time We allow ourselves to
be drawn into sany~3oint political ac-
ton or pretention with the greater

lPittsbure Dispatch.l

Secretary Roots exposition of the
evils of the present consular system
before the House Appropriations Com
mittee ought to arouse a public senti-
ment that will compel the reforms.
contained in the original bill for the
reorganization of the service-reforms
that have been carefully exercised by
tn political friends of the eminent and
elderly gentleman enjoying the fat
jobs in foreign lands. AS introduced
the bill provided that original appoint
ments were to be made only for the
lower grades, the higher to be filled
by promotions. This has been stricken
out by the patronage hunters, whose
highest conception of the use of the
consular service is to supply Offices
for friends and who have no concern
in the promotion of any industry not
political.
The reforms still left in the bill,
while beneficial, such as the grading
of consulates, the abolition of fees and
the filling of clerkshlps with American
citizens, fall far short of the measure
of reform demanded. Mr. Roots hui
morous description of the eminent
and elderly citizens whose friends find
it necessary to take care of them in
some way" and who transfer the bur-
den to the government should strike
home to the congressional and sena-
torial politicians. They are true words
spoken in jest but with force and
meaning. His exposure reveals the
injury to the service through political
manipulation in all it's nakedness, how
the political nominees avoid eXamina-
ton and qualification, and how there
is the dickens to pay if the political
graft is questioned. His warning that
a custom like this cannot be changed
piecemeal, that something has to be
Jared, should be needed. By all
means let this use of the consular
service by the spoilsmen be Jared and
Jared until it topples from it's base.
The public opinion which has forced
the fingers of the politicians from the
Offices now under the civil service law
should be strong enough to make them
loosen their hold upon the consular
| service because the system is corrupt
ing and because it robs the country of
valuable aid in the expansion of Amer
| lean trade.
