MUCK RAKE VS.. wHITEwAsH BRUSH.

President Roosevelt has scored the
muck-rakers and in much that he says
he is to be followed by sane public
opinion for there is at present dis
graceful effort being made to utilize
the literature of exposure for CONNER
cial profit, but the president in failing
to make specific his exceptions COM
mits the same otfense which he con-
dennis in others. If anyone is to read
from the presidents remarks that such
exposers, as Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Stef-
fens, Ray 'Stanard Baker or even
Thomas Lawson are muck rakers"
the president is not to be followed for
one moment in his preaching.
The muck-rake business requires an
exceptional amount of discretion, to be
sure. but it Is no more harmful to err
on the side of raking too much muck
than it is to not rake at all and thus
permit the public to drink from a poi
soned pond while thinking the water
unpolluted. Ida Tarbell did a great
and noble work in her exposure of
Standard Oil iniquites. If the truth
were known the president himself
could trace his present crusade against
rebates and for railroad rate regulation
to public agitation inspired by Ida Tar
bells articles At least hundreds OF
thousands Of business men have been
taught to hesitate in their mad BUSH
ness career and turn from their man
eating course to more humanitarian
forms Of competition.
Lincoln Steffens, more than any one
other American living, the president
himself not excepted, can claim credit
for the public sentiment which has en-
abled Philadelphia to clarity it's mis-
government and which made it posi-
bile for La Toilette to defeat corrupt
railroad hierarchy in Wisconsin. His
"Crime OF American Cities" was as
powerful sermon for good govern
ment as was ever preached by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Likewise with the writings of Ray
Stanard Baker. They are exposing the
operations Of men high in finance and
business but the public is going to be
the gamer.
Turning even to Lawson For months
he kept people doubling his sincerity
and suspecting his motive but without
Lawson there would have been no in
surance Investigation. What he has
saved the American people in losses
which would have gone to the pirates
in Wall street finance had Lawson not
exposed the expert scheme of plumber
ing the public perfected by them, can
never be computed. Spectacular and
sensational as Lawson was, insurance
methods all over the United States are
being clarified and reformed as the re-
suit of his writings and the public
gains great good thereby
These men raked muck with vigor
but with discretion and good has come

NO SALOONS ON RESERVE.
Roosevelt. Knox, and Other
Towns Affected.

The board Of County Commits
sioners have recently received
a communication from For
est Supervisor F. A. Fem, of
Boise, in which attention is called
to the law restricting the sale of
liquor within a forest reserve.
Following is an excerpt from
Forest Reserve Order No. "A, per-
tanning to trespass and violations:
Reg. 81. Under authority given
to the secretary of agriculture re-
garding forest reser yes "to regulate
their occupancy and use, and to
preserve the forests thereon from
destruction" the following acts are
hereby forbidden and declared to
constitute trespass punishable by
fine and imprisonment:
Erecting or conducting telephone
telegraph or power lines, hotels,
stores, sawmills, power plants,
or other structures, or manufac-
turing, or business enterprises, or
carrying on any kind Of work,
within in q forest reserve, except
upon patented land, or upon a valid
claim for the actual development
of such claim consistent with it's
character.
The Department ct the In
terror, in an Interpretation of
the above, holds that the sale of
liquor does not tend to develop any
kind of a calm under the General
Land Laws, and under the existing
regulations of the department of
agriculture. Advice has reached
the officials to the effect that there
are saloons now conducted within
the Payette forest reserve in Idaho
county, licenses for which will ex.
pire on the last day of this month.
So far no action has been taken in
these cases because Of the hardship
which might be entailed upon
people who had paid their money
for licenses properly issued. But up
on the expiration of these licenses
the officials will be relieved of the
embarrassment in this respect, and
it is their intention to enforce the
regulation affecting saloon keepers
operating on these public lands
within the reserve.
With no desire to encrouch up
on the preogatives of the board of
county commissioners, Mr.. Fem
urges that the board decline to is
sue new licenses for the operation
OF saloons on lands within the
forest reserve where the title to the
land yet remains in the Govern
ment. These regulation and rul-
ings will affect all saloons in Roose-
welt, Knox, saloons along Boise
Roosevelt state wagon road and
at Morrison, all in Idaho county.
Attention is called to this for the
protection of claim owners, and
for the purpose of inducing saloon
men from engaging in a business
which if Persisted in, would surely
result in prosecution.
