Ideas While in Mexico.

SCORES LAND GRAFT
Secretary E. A. Hitchcock Tells Harv-
ard Students Of the Shameless
Frauds Perpetrated to Secure Control
Of tho Public Domain.

Cambridge, Mass, June 27.-1n his
address upon receiving an honorary
degree at Harvard University, Secre-
tary Ethan A. Hitchcock said in part:
CA, one who has endeavored in
STRAIGHTFORWARD way to deal with the
problems of administration in one of
the large departments of the govern
ment for over seven years past, / may
perhaps be permitted to make a few
statements concerning that expert
ence. 1t is properly asserted and
claimed for our country that it is the
land of the free and home of the brave
but while it is historically true that
it is the home of the physically brave,
it is a question in my mind whether
it is not too much the land of the free
and too little the land of the morally
brave. In other words, whether or not,
in various directions, license has TAX
en- place of liberty, corruption has run
riot at the expense of patriotism
"It is the smooth and machine
ridden legislator whose conscience has
been cauterized by appeals and de-
mands of his supporters upon whom the
responsibility for wrong doing must
rest. 1t is the vote of such legislators
which in a large measure governs the
passage, amendment or appeal Of legis-
lation that encourages or prohibits il-
iquitous enactments such as, at this
very moment, remain upon the statute
books in spite of my earnest appeal,
year after year, to have them modified
amended or repealed, because of un-
mistakable opportunity and the in
ducements they offer the pension shark
and the horde of unconscionable graft
ers whose business it has been and still
it, to rob the government of the public
domain" The secretary then referred
to the recent Investigations in fraudu-
lent land transactions in the north
western and southwestern states,
pointing out many delays and the dis
tinct opposition with which the depart
ment had met and concluded: with
out the invaluable and every ready
assistance Of our colleagues of the de-
partment of justice and above all else,
without the inspiration, example and
support at all times, and under all cir
cumstances, of that famous son Of
Harvard, the president of the United
States, little progress would have been
made"

Milwaukee, June 27.-In the Boot

their positions illegally thru throwing
out votes at the election Mr.. Russell
said that 500 Of the Brockton ballots
were thrown out by the judges, who
were in close conference with Presi-
dent Tobin and his associates.
.fWhat we should have done Is to.
have taken the matter into the courts,
thus gaining access to the ballot boxes
and securing fair count"
Aside from denial that he had part

charges.

g bes at Harrisburg.
Har lrg, Pa, June 27.-The DEM
ocrat' ate convention to nominate
a sta cket assembled at noon today.
Michael j. Ryan. of Philadelphia, was
temporary chairman.
The platform adopted by the demo-
cratic state convention today says in
part: 1--WE congratulate the country
upon the fact that the only prominence
which the present republican national
administration has attained has been
achieved by feeble and pretended APP
pication of the principles enunciated
by the Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
the great democratic commoner, who is
now regarded as the certain successor
of Roosevelt TO the presidency.
I'VE congratulate the people of Penn
sylvania upon the pretended conver-
sion of the republican organization of
our state TO sound and moral political
doctrines While the sincerity of this
eleventh hour repentance may we'll be
doubted it may at least be accepted
as that tribute which hypocrisy always
pays to virtue.
"All the republican platform profess
SeS now mas DeeI consistently ueCIdi eu
for and supported by the democracy
of the state for many years.
I'VE. therefore, repeat the declara-
tion of our aims and purposes when we
again affirm we stand as ever for the
rule of the people. in county, state and
nation as against federated tyranny,
organized greed and corrupt political
and commercial manipulators."
The platformi urges improved cleo
ton laws, favors complete and rigid
regulation of all corporations engaged
in public service" prohibition of
transportation by companies engaged
in mining coal and other minerals, or
manufacture of any commodities in
transportation Of which they are en-
gagged as common carriers: denounces
giving of rebates. favors change In
food laws. favors strict prohibition by
civil and criminal enactment of all
contributions by corporations for polit-
ical purposes.

Inspection Compromise.
TURMOIL OVER MEAT BILL.
Question Of Payment for Inspection
Causes Disagreement.

Causes Disagreement
Washington. June 27.-The meat in
spection amendment to the agricultur-
al bill probably will be returned to the
senate and house in disagreement. The
conference twice had it under dis
cussion yesterday, and the indications
are that the differences In regard to the
payment for inspection by the pack
ers or by the government or whether
the date of inspection must be placed
on cans of meat are irreconcilable. An
other effort to get together will be made
at 10 o'clock tomorrow. A complete
agreement was reached on all other
matters In the bill.
Practically all Of the important
amendments concerning the usual feat
ures of the agricultural bill were ac-
amendments include appropriations of
$4,000 for the establishment at points
of export laboratories TO examine and
report on the nature, quality and con-
dition of seed or grain to serve as a
basis for the fixing of definite
grades, and $4,000 for investigating
the insect known as the white fly"
which affects orange growers. Amend
ments were retained providing that 10
per cent Of all money received from
each forest reserve each year shall be
paid to the states or territories in
which the reserves are situated to be
expended for the benefit of the public
schools and roads; also the amend
'ment for an investigation of the effect
of cold storage upon the healthfulness
of foods.
The amendment providing for an in
vestigation of the effect of selling un-
drawn fowls was struck out, as was
also the appropriation of 100000 for
nutrition investigations, on the ground
that these matters are covered by the
pure food bill. Another amendment
eliminated was that which provided for
an Investigation of crops best adapted
to irrigated districts. The house pro-
vision to originate improved varieties
of tobacco and change in the meth
DDS of supplying tobacco to foreign
countries was struck out by the SEN
ate and to this the house conferees as
sented.

Mr.. Stickney denied his road had

the positions he took last week, when
he ordered that the elevator rebate of a
cent and quarter per hundred pounds
on the grain shipped thru elevators be
discontinued on the Great Western.
Some, if not all, of the other western

Mr.. Stickney said this action was
equivalent to raising the rate cent

Great Western refused to do.
