Of coal mining in Indian Territory. but

that line since 19oo, that the showing
made in recent years Is well worthy Of
note. or her total area OF 90,oo1 square
miles, li.o0o square miles are easily work
able for fuel purposes. In 1876 the coal
production Of Indian Territory amounted
to 2S6oo00 short tons. with total spot
cash value Of $5,4S2.3 .366. BY reason Of the
long strike. the production Of 1896 was
o.. .Z21 tons short OF that ~ 1916. vet the
value Of this production was 1897 .G1S
greater. This increased value was due 70
larger demand. on account Of the de-
cline in the production and the increased
price Of Texas oil. Because Of the strike

THE SITUATION AT cAsABLANcA


The commander OF the forces in
Morocco is anxiously awaiting the 49,
600 troops he has asked for, and
when they arrive II e likely that Il
most aggressive campaign will be
pursued against the Moors. II seems
to be the belief OF those informed of
the situation that France has II more
formidable task than she imngincs
The Moors are brave, not only In the
ordinary sense of the word, but they
have been taught that death In a
battle with mbclicvcrs opens to
him instantly the gates of Paradise,
where the lovclicst maidcns await
him ana the choicest luxurics of
which the most sensual and scnsu-
GUS nature cGn conceive. This Is
not refined religious belief, but II
suits the peculiar philosophy of the
Mahomcdun, and It has the advant-
age of being easily intclllgiblc To his
not analytical mind. The French
are brave soldiers but they arc not
Possessed Of any wild desire to court
death. 1t Is the Moor's mad valor
to European intelligence almost UNI
natural, that makes the Moor and
his brethren dangerous and dcspcr-
ate foe. Luckily for the European
this reckless bravery is not accom-
panied by the capacity for organiza-
ton. rs II is In the Japanese.
France conquered Algeria. but 1t
took her 10 ycaIv and 1t cost her I'M
countablo sums of money and many
thousands of lives. Aud at the end
Algeria was hardly conquered. But
all this was when France had no
military rivals. She has n very pow
crful rival today. ono who suddenly
has ceased his grumbling over the
course OF France in Morocco. II Is
none other than the astute German
emperor. In the German press,
where formerly there was only sullen
comment, there is almost eager ac'
quicsccncc In Frances obvious duty
TO accomplish the pacficatlon" OF
Morocco, If Franco is obligated to
follow this initiatory step in Morocco
TO Its apparent conclusion 1t will be
necessary to withdraw many men and
much money from her available mill
tary resources at home. And this
cannot fail TO excite reflection In
Paris and in Berlin.
There is one thing very much IN
favor of France, and that Is the re
sources Of modern warfare have
been neglected by the Moors. II this
primitive man had artillery tn,
French could not retain Tho position
they now hold But with this dis
advantage the Moors are still so nu
inerous and so fierce that the Frencl
force ut CasablWlca must be trcblet
before the commander of the arm!

LaFOHene's Platform.

Before $500 eager listeners at the
Chautauqua held recently at Excelsior
Springs, Mo-, Senator La Toilette de-
clared himself thus amid tumultuous
applause:
~ am a protectionist. believe in the
doctrine of protection. / was member
of the ways and means committee that
favored the Nc Kinley tariff and Presi-
dent Mckinley said on number of oc-
casions that | wrote into that tariff
more schedules that any other member
of that committee. But if combinations
and trusts are aided by tariff laws those
laws should be changed at once. would
maintain the tariff system, but it can
not be maintained as it is today and it
ought not to be. The tendency these
day is to build up monopoly in pro
tected articles. Alexander Hamilton,
Henry Clay, John Sherman, William
Mckinley and every other great apostle
of protection always maintained that
competition was the handmade and cor
ollary Of protection. But competition
has been suppressed and the American
people handed over to monoplies and
we must change this or protection will
be swept away"
In regard to government ownership
of railroads, Mr.. LaFollette said:
What is the argument for govern
ment ownership? What is there to all
this talk about it? Why, merely that we
| ought to have better service and more
reasonable rates and that government
| ownership is the oniv way to get these
| things. Now listen: The United States
supreme court and the supreme court
of every state that has ever passed on
the question has decided that we have
| the power to make the railroads give US
good service and reasonable rates.
Then, why pay $4,000, 900, 600 for the
railroads just TO get what we already
have, the power to make them give us?
But If government control should fail,
then government ownership must fol-

A Clever Scheme AT Work.

The State.
That is sharp game which is being
played by the cattlemen and land skin
ners of the west in am effort to secure
through the processes of the courts a
determination which will take from the
government all control of the forest
land reserves, irrigation plants and
grazing lands. A recent dictum by
Justice Brewer in a Colorado Kansas
case is being made the basis of suit in
which it is sought to establish the rule
that the government cannot hold owners
of cattle responsible for trespass on a
forest reserve unless it maintains a
fence around the reserved In other
words the federal control of such re-
serves is subject to state fencing laws.
If they gain the point on this trivial is
sue of cattle trespass a precedent will
have been established making the step
an easy one and the work of delivering
the west into the hands of these sharps
will have been all but accomplished.
There is need of vigilance on the part
of the department of the interior and
of careful discrimination by the courts.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1907-07-04

| milwaukee, free freSs,
There is another legislative evil than
that Of lobbying which deserves to be
corrected. 1t is the practice of mem
bers to agree to support measures in re-
turn for support of their own,
There is nothing more common about
the legislature than this matter of per-
sonal trading of votes. "You tickle me
and I'll tickle you is the principle that
swings many a measure through the
| legislature.
1t is as corrupt and as corrupting as
the payment Of money for the votes of
members, and calls as loudly for sup
preston.
People often wonder why it is that
certain senators and assemblymen vote
as they do on bills. Members support
measures in which they have no interest
and in which they do not believe be-
cause by doing so they can secure sup
port for their own bills. This is often
done. What difference is there between
this practice and the old custom of pay
ing man right down on the table for
his vote?
There has never been as much bribery
of members as has been charged. 1t is
mighty small part of any legislature
that can be bought; but men who would
burst with indignation if they were APP
preached on a proposition to vote a GER
tain way, for money, complacently en-
ter into deals with their fellow members
whereby each party is to support the
measures of the other, If they do not
make the deal they do, they would
make another on the other side.
Votes were got on the Milwaukee
school bill at Madison in this way; for
or against, it does not matter which.
1t is the old idea Of the combination
on which tariff legislation is carried
through. All of the interests wanting
protection combine and carry the day,
distributing the benefits in every di-
rection. Thus Mr.. Murphy of Troy,
N. Y, whose constituency was in shirt
trade, wanted high tariff on collars
and cuffs; and the senator from Penn
sylvania, whose constituents We're max
ing steel, wanting d prohibitive tariff
on that. This made two votes for every
thing that wanted protection. The rest
were got in the same way; and they
were a good majority. "Should not the
majority rule?"
1t would be difficult to prove out and
out trades between members of the
state legislature, probably. But there
would not be much trading of the kind
if there was law making it misde-
meanor.
