kind were handled only a few years
ago, and is cited as being in sharp
comparison with present usage and
as a basis for the statement above
made, that two years ago ''Joe"
Woolman would not, simply could
not, have been ''run in" 1t was not
In the ''kyards'' and the query "what
Is the a~nti.fencing law between
friends:" would certainly have been
pertinent.
Nobody, not rel the trainers of the
act. ever expected to see the law used
to put reputable citizens in quod for a
violation OF 1t, but the condition of
the public mind at this present, makes
it imperative for the judge on the
bench to construe 'thou shalt not
literally, and give to the offender, no
natter what his rank or position, the
penalty that the statutes provide.
That Judge Hunt feels this, is evi.
denced by his remarks on this occas.
sion:
"There is nothing really that I need
say to yon," said Judge Hunt in pass
ing sentence. "You know that there
is q law which makes it obligatory
upon q court to impose Imprisonment
In cases of this character. / announced
last year that l would feel it my duty
to deal more severely with these cases
a. time rolled by. What was q com.
mon practice years ago, and what in
a sense was counter anced in this new
country, must q to prevail, and
men must cOnfiue themselves to that
which is legitim ately theirs in respect
to the public domain the same as they
must respect the property of one an.
other. l intend to keep raising these
sentences, painful though the duty is.
Another year the sentences will be
heavier than they are this year, be-.
cause | conceive it to be my highest
duty as q Judge to do what l can to
deter men who would be careless in
respect to these matters from doing
that which they have no lawful right
to do. 1t is undoubtedly the intention
of the government to continue to in
vestigate these matters, and l say to
you, that I shall charge the next grand
jury to inquire into these cases, and
If there be fences upon the place that
you are now under indictment and
pleading guilty of maintaining fences
on, | shall charge them to bring an
other indictment against you. The
excuse Of it being i~nconvenient to re.
move fences upon receiving notice to
remove them is no excuse whatever.
That does not justify a trespass upon
another mans property, nor upon the
public lands of the United States"
The point to which public attention
is directed is this. The remarkable
condition of the public mind that has,
by unerring telepathy, made itself ap-
parent to the men who sit in the high
places and administer the laws OF the
land. 1t is not only Judge Hunt who
Is called upon to mete out q severe

Mountain has returned from
few weeks visit at the Blue Jay
mine on Crooked river, six miles
south of the Hump. This prop
erty is being developed by Spo-
kane company and 500 feet of
tunnel have been run, exposing
continuous ore body for the en-
tire distance. The face of the
drift is in solid ore, almost five
feet wide. The average of seven
assays shows the ore to carry
values of SAT in gold to the ton.
The ore is free milling and the
plans of the company provide for
the immediate installation of a
mill. Mr.. Lawrence will leave
soon for Thunder Mountain.

CONSISTENCY AND THE MONROE
DOCTRINE.

The London Morning Post. reviewing
an article in the Edinburgh Review on
the Monroe doctrine, takes a position
which we have anticipated as likely
to be taken by Europeans. 1t is,
briefly stated, that if the Monroe doc
trine is to be strictly observed in
America, the participation of the
United States in European affairs is
Likely to lead to friction.
The United States is very thoroughly
committed to the Monroe doctrine. 1t
will brook the domination of no Eu-
ropean power in the affairs or on the
such dominance does not already exist
as. for instance, in the case of Canada
which in political sense, is dominated
by Great Britain.
The writer in the London Post dis
cusses the Monroe doctrine, and while
not conceding its propriety, recognizes
it as an existing principle and assumes
that the United States would by force.
if necessary, resist the attempt of any
European power to establish itself on
American territory. But while
granting this to be legitimate exer-
else. of the influence of the United
States on this continent. its mainte-
nonce is declared to be inconsistent
with the participation of the United
States in such affairs as the Algeciras
conference. And how can that conten-

ton be combatted? We may make our
protest with propriety against perse-
cutions in Turkey or Russia or the
Congo Free State, as a member of the
family of nations, regardless of where
the occasion for the protest exists.
The Algeciras conference was a CONNER
cial and political affair concerning
which we would seem to have no more
right to participate than European
power would have a right to inter-
fere in a conference of American ma
tons touching the administration of
their affairs and the control of their
territory Our case with respect to
the Monroe doctrine is certainly weak
ened, if not endangered, by the vio-
lation of this rule of consistency, and
it is significant when attention is call
ed to the matter in the form Of even a
mild protest by a London paper.

WHY THEY PREFER A DAILY.

A weekly paper complains because
Walla Walla merchants give the pref
erence to dailies as advertising me-
diums. The merchants are wise. They
know that in this age nearly every
farmer tributary to a town of the size
of Walla Walla takes a daily, it being
delivered at his door by rural mail
carrier. There is still room for week.
lies in towns too small to support a
daily and in remote districts not
reached by free rural delivery, but the
average up-to-d date farmer now gets
his daily as promptly and regularly as
the resident of the city, and he keeps
as close tab on all bargains offered by
merchants in their advertisements. The
progressive merchant realizes this
change in conditions and that is the
reason why he prefers advertising in a
daily paper.
