SUITS TO SET ASIDE PATENTS.
Idaho Actions Will BE ParalIeIed I'm
Oregon.

The series of suits brought in the
past few weeks against Frederick A.
Hyde, John A. Benson and their asso-
ciates in the United States district
court by District Attorney n. NJ. Ru-
ick to set aside patents, are the Idaho
end of a large number of similar
suits that have been started or will
be begun in all portions of the west,
is the reminder given by the Boise
Statesman. The actions involve a
very interesting question, which per
meates each of the dozen suits so far
filed in Idaho.
Hyde and Benson, it is charged by
the government. in some manner
either secured advance information of
the creation of forest reserves or used
political influence to get them Gre
ated where they were wanted, and
then located land right and left in
those districts. Upon the creation of
these forest reserves, the conspirators
were then able to secure lieu land
scrip, which Is transferable.
Large tracts of these filings, claim
ed by the government to be illegal,
were made in California and Oregon,
practically all of the illegal scrip used
in the filings concerned in these cases
having originated in those states.
Both Benson and Hyde are now un-
der indictment in the District of Co.
lumbia, according to United States At
torney Ruick, on the charge of fraud
in obtaining this scrip.
Twelve suits in all have been start
ed to set aside patents to land in
Idaho, most of(them involving tracts
of land in the Boise land district that
had been filed upon with the HYDE
Benson scrip. These cases involve
Washington county land and one each
cover land In Boise and Canyon coun-
ties. Some of the tracts, also, are in
the northern end of the state, two be-
ing against the Potlatch Lumber COM
pany to cancel the patents of land in
Latah county. One is for land in that
portion of Nez Perce annexed from
Shoshone and one involves the title
to Kootenai county land.

is HARVEY SCOTT DONE?
Sensational Report is Given PubIica-
ton by Seattle Weekly.

Is Harvey Scott to be canned? Is
the nestor of western newspaper men,
the superior of most editors, the peer
of any the country ever produced, to
fall before the domination of the
business office?
The Seattle Argus of Friday says:
THE Oregonian has had at its head
one of the most brilliant editors in
the United States. He has not worked
for money, but glory. He has made
an enviable reputation, and has held
II.
And now for the first time comes
a report that things are not pleasant
on the Oregonian. In fact the rela-
tions between Editor Scott and Busi-
ness Manager Pittock are said to be
decidedly strained 1t seems accord
ing to the story, that the Corbett e.
tate owned small bunch of stock in
the Oregonian. This Pittock bought,
giving him controlling interest in the
Oregonian.
THE Oregonian is Harvey Scott,
and Harvey Scott is the Oregonian. A
newspaper must have an individuali-
ty in order to have any great measure
of success. If a serious rupture should
occur, and the story in Portland is
to the effect that 1t is in the wind,
the days of the Oregonian's supreme
cy will come to an end"

high, are reflective now as In the past
OF the standards of the individuals
who constitute the state. Americas
idea of success is wrong, and an era
OF righteousness yet to come will top
pie the idols OF our nation as the
mistral scatters the germs of disease
and death.
There Is but one standard Of meas
uring success which will stand the
test of the centuries, and 1t is that
which Jehovah gave to the successor
of Moses when that leader passed to
the mystery of Moab's valley. 1t is
the only time In the holy writ when
the word success appears. To Joshua
He gave this Injunction:
Keep the Laws.
This book of the law shall not de-
part out of thy mouth, but thou shalt
mediate thereon day and night, that
thou mayest observe to do according
to all that is written therein for then
thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and thou shalt have good success
When under this standard men shall
be weighed. power will find its ideal
I'm men like Lincoln, whose charity
was as wide as humanity, whether
president or private citizen; wealth in
the VII Earl OF SALISBURY who gave
life and riches to the uplifting of the
race, and whose fame will rest upon
the love of the race, demonstrated in
years of sacrifice, and that life will be
success which makes the world bet
ter for having existed in 1t.
Then the mother who trains her
child for clean living and high think
ing; the father whose examples makes
better citizenship; that individual
who in humble walks, where most of
us must tread, leaves the world a lit
tie better than he found it-all will
find the ultimate laurel upon the
brow.
THE REAL WORK OF THE
WORLD Is NOT DONE WITH
BLARE OF TRUMPETS OR IN THE
LIMELIGHT. IT Is DONE IN THE
ERAGE MAN AND WOMAN, AND
TO THE FORGOTTEN MAN WHO
DOES HIS DUTY THE WORLD
WILL OWE ITS HIGHEST DEBT.
Success in great degree must always
be measured by each individual for
himself. The world cannot look be-
yond the present. 1t never has, ana
probably never will. With full duty
done, the moral law observed. ideals
maintained, movement always for
ward and upward, even slight. with a
sense of having done our best, will
make success. The worlds acclaim
cannot do II.

.L0WELL'S ADDRESS
FIRST OF A SERIES AT
CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER
Subject Of the Address, "What Is Sue
cess"-GOOd Sized Audience Greet
ed the Speaker-Rev. Henry Dixon
Jones Presided and Conducted the
Regular Ash-Wetinestlay Services
OF the Episcopal Church.

The series OF Lenten addresses to
be given at the Church of the Re-
deemer was most auspiciously intro
duced last evening, when Judge Ste
phen A. Lowell addressed good
sized and highly appreciative audi
ence on the subject, What is Sue
cess?"
DIR. Henry Dixon Jones, rector of
the Church of the Redeemer, presided
at the meeting and conducted the
services of the church preceding the
address. The regular Ash Wednesday
services were observed, after which
Judge Lowell spoke for 20 minutes,
In most entertaining manner.
He sharply criticised the standards
of success observed generally in the
United States today and urged a re-
turn to the ancient standards in which
manhood and womanhood and not
wealth, should be the acme the bea-
con light of success. His address was
in part as follows:
Fortunately the world has never
agreed upon any standard by which
success shall be measured. The fail
ure of today may be the success Of
tomorrow, and seeming defeat time
may demonstrate to have been actual
triumph.
When the Florentine reformer died
martyr to his advocacy of individ-
ual liberty, his cause appeared to
have succumbed to force, and abso-
lutism in government to have been
finally enthroned, but advancing
years have made the name and opin-
ions of Savonarola exalted.
The crusades under the inspiration
of Peter the Hermit failed in their
point ended in disaster. but men now
know that they were the mightiest
influence for the civilization of half
savage Europe that the middle ages
produced, and that from them came
the ultimate destruction of the abuses
of feudalism.
When amid the shaking earth and
darkening sun our Lord died upon the
cross. His lifework was deemed a fail
ure and His claims to divinity falsi-
fled, but after a single century had
passed men knew that the scene upon
Golgotha was a drama of unceasing
influence, and that the death OF the
Master in disgrace was in truth the
beginning OF a life and influence tri-
umphant and eternal.
Mammon Rules America.
Unhappily America cannot boast,
for her standard Is the lowest of all
wealth. Proud az she justly was OF
the character OF her founders and OF
their ideals of human liberty and the
equal rights OF man; lofty as was her
standard of success individually and
nationally from the days of the Puri-
tan and Cavalier until the civil war,
there is little for patriots or humani-
tarians to extol I'm the era of plung-
ing and exploitation which has char
acterized the last 40 years of our ma
tional life.
