IN LAND LEASES.
BILL IN COURSE OF PREPARATION
INTENDED TO CARRY OUT REC.
LAMENTATIONS OF RECENT
SPECIAL MESSAGE.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Mel
son of Minnesota, a member of the
committee on public lands, has in
course Of preparation a bill intended
to carry out the recommendations of
President Roosevelt in his recent spe-
cial message dealing with the public
land questions and especially with
respect to frauds in connection with
the grabbing of lands containing val
liable deposits of coal and gas.
1t is the plan of Senator Nelson's
measure, as he has outlined it, to
connect with a leasing system cover
ing these valuable lands features Of
the Sherman antitrust law, forbid
ding the leasing to individuals or cor
porations entering into any combina-
tons in restraint of trade in interstate
this being the way most
easily opened to dealers in commodi-
ties such as coal and oil to raise prices.
Under the plan Mr.. Nelson will pro-
pose the lands will be leased and upon
the violation by the leasing company
of any provisions of the lease the
70 cancel by the government
shall Immediately arise. The leasing
are to pay a royalty to the
government and the regulations I'M
der which the operations are to be
will be prepared under gov
eminent direction.
President Roosevelt in his special
message relating to the public lands
called special attention to the frauds
which have been perpetrated. He said
among other things that "the present
puts a premium on fraud" and
le suggested that the evils be cured
~ a policy which shall open the lands
o lease under government regula-
ions and proper restrictions"

 An international congress to lay plans for a general war on tubercu- losis will meet in this city November IA, IS and 16. Every European nation, together with it's colonies is expected to send delegates and doctors, and lay men from all the states in the union have already promised to be present. There will be a general discussion of the whole problem of tuberculosis and measures will be concerted for urging preventive legislation and the estab- lishment of governmental and municipal sanitariums tor assist in fighting the disease. All the boards of health and all state and county medical organiza tions in the country have been supplied with information concerning the con gress and it's objects Tuberculosis in it's varied forms is one of the greatest dangers to which humanity is at pres ent exposed. attacking as it does both man and beast and perpetuating itself from generation to generation. The congress is expected to do more toward the extinction of the scourge than has previously been thought possible, be- sides being remarkable in itself as the first instance of a combination among the peoples of the earth against physical evil.
 There is always something the trou ble with the people. Just now it is the discovery that perhaps two thousand of them are not naturalized foreigners, who are said to have obtained their citizenship papers by fraud-and fraud so extensive that it is supposed to be the work of a big, well organized gang, who have been making a regular bus mess of forging certificates and mak- ing Americans out of aliens by scores at a time. Bremen and street cleaners are likewise reported to be involved. and besides municipal employees thou sands of foreigners all over the city are asserted to possess false papers. At present nobody seems to know who is responsible for all this, though the secret service officers are thought to have information that will cause some startling revelations whenever it is acted upon. If the proposition of frauds found in the first few hundred names on the police rolls hold good to the end, at least 5 per cent of the force will be found disqualified; but as yet this is not proven.

Owing perhaps TO a reprehensible
law q politics it is not often that an
important committee assignment Is
made 70 a democratic member Of the
republican senate. But last week
such an spportionment was made and
Florida is thereby the beneficiary.
Senator Mallory has been assigned 10
the Naval Affairs Committee, and as
Florida IS one Of the few states that

any other state. and about as much
land as water. this selection is in very

one, and We congratulate both our sen
Tor senator and the state in general

In this connection 1t may be men
toned that Senator Mallory is also a

same relation to the senate that the Riv-
ers and HarbOrs Committee does to
the house, and IL is through recOmmen-
dations Of these committees Of the

made for the purpose indicated by
their respective titles. Mr.. Sparkman
