Twenty-Five years ago there was not
single newspaper in the United States
whose news columns were absolutely
free from partisanship. Today there
ID no reputable newspaper in all the
land which does not give reasonably
honest reports Of events. 10 be sure,
tho effects OF personal bias and preju-
dice are found in the chronicles of the
press, because, like all other writings,
they receive some colorings from preju-
dices OF their authors, but as statements
OF fact they are, as rule, reliable.
COincident with this development Of
the press toward higher standings has
Deen gradual growth along lines of
independent thought among the masses
Of the people, from which has undoubt
eddy sprung the real reaction against
illegitimate methods in politics and in
business, which has stirred the country
during the past twelve months.

For years it has been the custom of
ssettlers along the streams west of the
Missouri to cut and dispose of timber
on the claims on which they have filed.
The general land Office rules that this

not be done, and In several cases the
government inspectors have seized
posts which have been purchased from
such settlers and will sell the same.
