Our Anomalous Land Laws

We think the country will be loath 10
accept at its face valuation the railing &C
cusation brought by Senator Carter
against the Secretary OF the Interior Of
being guilty either OF willful and deliber-
ate Misrepresentation Of his own records
to the public, or else guilty Of utter in
efficiency in the administration OF the
law Mr.. Carter presents an array Of
statistics to support the view that Mr.
Hitchcock must be impaled on one or the
other Of these charges, the main point
OF which is that out of the total number
Of homestead entries only an insignificant
number has been Cancelled for fraudulent
entry. The percentage Of fraudulent pub
lie land entries for the last eight years. g"
Mr.. Carter asserts. bears about the same
annual proportion to the whole number
of entries as obtained during each Of the
preceding forty years. Wherefore Mr..
Carter argues that 1.-THE present Secretary
of the Interior has been less efficient dur
ing his eight years OF service than
were his four predecessors during
the eight preceding years" for, accord
ing to the mathematics Of the Senator
from Montana, only one final homestead
entry in every 800 has been Cancelled for
failure to comply with the law. With this
showing OF honesty on the part Of the
homestead settler. Mr. Carter wakes eIo-
quent in defense OF the wrongs alleged to
be inflicted upon the poor and struggling
pioneers of the West by reason of Secre-
tary Hitchcock's determination to enforce
the Iaw--pioneers who are being driven
out of the country, We are asked to be
lieve, by the harsh and brutal treatment
accorded to them by the United States
land Office.
Unless We have totally inexperienced
the situation, Mr. Hitchcock has not been
devoting his energies during the past few
years to haling poor and honest settlers
before the Federal courts. but to bringing
down much bigger game. In his annual
report he says that the cardinal principle
of his administration has been TO so enforce
the laws as to dedicate the public domain
to the purpose Of providing homes for the
homeless and 10 wrest 1t from the grin
Of despoilers. The prosecutions initiated
by the Department Of the Interior in
volved millions of acres of the public do
main and offenders Of great influence and
power. Reports OF special agents showed
more than 100000 acres of public land nm
lawfully inclosed and appropriated to The
exclusive use OF private interests for pri-
vate gain. OF the land frauds in Oregon.

4 Dream That WAY Be Realized

The picture presented by the stately
beauty Of the new Municipal Building. a
Gigniied and artistic structure of marble.
affords some idea Of the effect which may
be expected in the future IL the national
government purchases the property be-
tween Pennsylvania avenue and the Mall.
For many years the acquisition of this
property has been considered with more
or less earuestness, until now the sugges-
ton has eliminated in q bill which has
the favorable report Of the Senate Com
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds.
and which appropriates $4,000, COO for the
purpose. This bill may not pass at this
session, but none the less does its prep
aration and report mark the steady
growth Of public sentiment in favor Of
what must inevitably be accomplished.
The proposition is so obvious in its wis
dom and so attractive in its future prom
ise that ii must be adopted. The govern
ment requires land for the sites of addi-
tional public buildings and it is simply
proposed that this property shall be ac-
quired in contiguous fashion, so that there
viii be abundant room for architectural
and panoramic effect
tt has been the proudest dream of those
who desire TO see Washington the most
beautiful city in the world that from the
Treasury Department 20 the Capitol, be-
tween Pennsylvania avenue and the
Mall, a succession of magnificent build
ings shall be erected To-day these struc-
lures exist only in the Imagination: but
the time is certain to come when what is
now an optimistic vision viii become a
delightful reality.

Climate and the Drink Habit

Joel Chandler Harris. who has so de-
lightfully interpreted Uncle Renlus' g"
fine philosophy, has fallen into a common
error which his knowledge of history
should have saved him from. In a recent
magazine article Mr.. Harris commits
curious blunder by declaring that "a tenn
peranee race is bound 70 be Industrious
and the negroes are temperate as COM
pared with the whites"
Neither Of these statements is true. The
race from which Mr.. Harris and the rest
of US are descended is, in the obvious
meaning Of his definition OF temperance.

A Model Son.in.Law.

1t gives US great satisfaction to note
the splendid way in which our esteemed
Texas contemporary. the Dallas News.
bears testimony to the many manly quail
ties of that young but exceedingly en-
thusiastic monarch. King Alfonso Of
Spain.
Alfonso has wired his mother-in-law.
the Princess Of Battenberg, that he viii
come in person to meet her al the Span
lsh frontier upon the occasion of her
forthcoming visit to Madrid. viii see TO
it that she has every attribute OF royal
welcome to Spain. and otherwise give her
the glad and happy hand. The Dallas
News sees in this the characteristics OF
a good and dutiful son-in-law, and it viii
readily be conceded by all that the News
Is exactly right.
In these days of rush and hustle. scant
attention is given the little things of life,
Notwithstanding the fact that it is the
little things that give the real piquancy
and Zest 10 the larger things-just as the
spice gives zest TO the cake. More
over. it Is the fashion to deride and ridi-
cule the mother-in-law business. In spite
of its being one Of the noblest and most
uplifting of professions. It may be safely
set down that the average mOther-in-law
is not half so bad as she is painted. and
those married men who speak from their
heart Of hearts will acknowledge as much.
Although she has done little 10 deserve

positive dread and dismay. and whose

and respect for his klngly attributes He

manfully and boldly walked out into the
sunlight Of good manners and sensible
appreciation Of that which is good, and
announced his fell determination 10 have
done with foolishness and evil report. and
to set the fashion Of a better and more
enlightened day.
No more shall the gaunt and stalwart
ghost Of the decrepit mother-in-law joke
stalk abroad in Spain. The glorious and
the great white light that beats about
the throne shall shine for the mOther-iu-

family. 1t Is share and share alike. The
sentiment is truly royal and truly COM

CAPITOL GOSSIP.


A noteworthy incident Of the proceed
ings Of Congress during the week IS the
severe arrangement to which the Presl-
dent has been subjected in both the House
and Senate. In the House on Wednesday
Mr.. Wadsworth. Of New York. removed
bits OF the Presidential cuticle. and at
sight of these quivering particles Of
Roosevelt flesh the House rOared in APP
parent ecstacy The spirit OF the floor
seemed to have infected the galleries, for

meat-inspection bill. the opposition

In the Senate yesterday MIR. Rayner
of Maryland, kept the crowded galleries
in a constant litter, and caused grave
Senatorial faces to be ilumned with
smiles by his castigation of the Presl-
dent. The MarylanGer's subject was
executive usurpaton-a topic that usually
eXcites febTile agitation IN the Senate
but which exhausts itself in cloakroom

GIRDIRoN CLUB CANON.
Only In Rare Instances Has Ii Ever
Been Violated.

From the Baltimore sun.
That the Gridiron Club of Washington
should be indignant because OF the pub
LEFTY which has been given to certain
incidents occurring at its dinner last
Saturday evening Is very natural. The
members of this club are journalists OF
the highest standing. who enjoy to an ex-
ceptional degree the confidence and
esteem Of public men. 1t is point of
honor and Of pride with them that they
never violate a confidence. and their relia-
bility, as well as their sensitiveness. I'm
such matters has been attestcd by Off
cials in the most exalted stations At
their annual dinners men prominent in
public life. including the President and
members Of the Cabinet, together with the
magnates Of finance and the captains OF
Industry, have been their guests.
Never before has any one abused the
hospitality Of the club or violated its
most sacred canons. That speaks well
for the sense Of honor Of members Of tho
club and the high standard which is main
tanned by the gentlemen who constitute
this famous organization
II is regrettable that any newspaper
should have indorsed a palpable violation
of confidence by publishing incidents Of
the dinner which would not have beer
secured except through a betrayal OF
trust. Newspapers as well as individuals
however. have different conceptions OF
pTopriety. While the standard Of pro
priety which the sun has always main
tanned precluded the publication in lis
columns OF news which II could have
published If II were IN the habit of VIC
lating condolences and ignoring the decen-
oies Of life, other newspapers have shown
an utter disregard for the dignity and
tTustwOTthiness OF their own profession
Fortunately, there are not many OF them
The Gridiron Club should continue q
hold IN the future, as IL has held in the
past, the confidence and respect OF the

history has there been a fallure-WhetheI

ELECTION OF SENATORS.
Primary Plan Insures Popular
Choice as Well as an Amendment.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Various objections are brought forward
against the present method Of eIectng
Senators, but all Of them can he obviated
without amending the Constitution for
that express purpose. The primary plan
now in force in Alabama and several
other States is both satisfactory and con
elusive. At the general election next be
fore the assembling of the Legislature
which has 10 elect a Senator the people
can vote for their choice for that Office
and the legislature will be bound 20 elect
that man, unless he dies in the meantime.
BY that plan the people really select the
man. but the State elects him. just as
the Constitution now directs, and there
is no conflict of authority. The State
elects, but the people select. The viii of
the people is carried out and the Federal
Constitution is obeyed.
Each State can easily adopt and carry
out this plan, and IL viii be satisfactory.
and viii avoid the trouble and expense
Of amending the Constitution. What is
more important, it viii preserve tha
autonomy of the States as at present.
and that is something that should be
stoutly adhered to.
