is Now Announced.

Front.

Front.
Secretary OF War William Il. Taft
will be a candidate for the republican
presidential nomination in 19eS, II itl
shall appear that there is a demand
for his candidacy Mr. Taft's future,
politically, is in the hands Of his
friends in Ohio and throughout the
country"
This statement may be accepted as
authoritative II is made by the Cleye
land Leader. through a dispatch from
its Washington correspondent. Mr. G
S. Watts, and is intended definitely toI
acquaint Ohio republicans with the
secretary's sentiments as TO the pres.
idency in order that they may be up
and doing.
Another important political develop.
ment of the day is the fact that the
Hanna Old Guard has captured the re.
publican organization In the south, IL
not In other sections Of the country
and is pushing its plan to nominate n
conservative man for president, as.
against a man of the Roosevelt type.
or a man of Roosevelt's choosing Sec.
rotary Taft is popularly supposed to
belong to the latter class.
The Cleveland Leader coTespon-
dent. after the statement already
quoted, says;
Stands for Roosevelt Policies.
IF any considerable element of the
republicans of Ohio and of the entire
country looks to Secretary Taft as the
man best qualified and most available
to perpetuate and execute the admin.
stratlve policies of President Roose-
velt--if the specialization of the party
sentiment within the next few months
points to Secretary Taft as the logical
leader in the next great national
struggle-then the secretary viii be a
candidate.
Furthermore, his friends In Ohio, In
Kentucky. in Minnesota and in south
ern and western states have been told
to take such steps as they may deem
necessary to determine how formid.
able following 1t will be possible to
rally under the Taft banner.
Secretary Taft has been read in
and out of the presidential race time
and time again within the past twelve
months, but the Leade" Is now able
to make an accurate statement as TO
his attitude. Mr.. Taft is not an active
or aggressive asplrant for the presi-
dency. On the contrary IL has been
with considerable reluctance that he
has consented to place himself Id the
hands OF his friends as d tentative can
didate. Mr. Taft's ambitions lie In an.
other direction-judiclal honors are
more to his liking than even the most
exalted political attainments-and II
the opportunity of going upon the
bench Of the supreme court Of the
United States should be presented TO
him again a little later. he would be
troubled sorely to decide what to do.
I'm fact, If Mr.. Taft could have eight
years of the presidency or the position
OF chief justice Of the supreme court
by simply turning his hand, he would
take the chief iusticeship without a
moments hesitation,

INUIAN LANDS
ARE PROTECTED
Roads Through Them Can't
Be Opened or Closed
At Will

A board of county commissioners
has not the legal right of its own
volitiOn, to open or cIose a highway
through Indian lands, according to ad-
vices received from F. E Leupp the
Indian affairs commissioner.
The advice has been transmitted to
the Nez Perez county board of COM
missioners through Agent Lipps, in
the form of a letter addressed to him
by Mr.. LeuQp, which reads in part as
follows:
Accordingly, you will close or cause
to be closed all highways across In
dian lands the title to which is held
in trust by the United States for the
Indians, which have not been duly
authorized by the department, notify
ing the proper county officials OF
your action and that any attempt to
open or used roads so closed without
obtaining permission in the regular
manner will result in such attempt
being reported to the department
with view to it's presentation to the
department of justice with a recon-
mendation that suit in trespass be
instituted against the county officials
for the opening of such highways
without due authority of law, and
that each individual using such ur-
authorized road be made a party to
the trespass, and that the department
will not brook any violations of the
REGULATIONS prescribed under the act
of March 3, 1890. by agreement with
Indians having the use and occupa-
ton of the land, or otherwise"

CADETS COMING

Moscow Boys to Camp Here
One Week, From April

Lewiston Is going to have the pleas
University of Idaho at Moscow again
this year, according to a letter which
Lieutenant Frank Steunenberg, u. S.
A, military instructor, has written to
President John o. Bender of the Com
mercial club.
Lieutenant Steunenberg says it will
cost not less than 5000 to bring the
boys to Lewiston, and that they will
come provided he can raise the money
by public subscription. He is figuring
on the week between April l and Z,
inclusive, while the teachers are here.
Letter of Lieutenant Steunenberg.
He says, in part, in his letter:
I am unable to state just how
many cadets will take part in the an
nual encampment, but it may be as
high as 10. The N. p. agent has as
sured me of half rates, of $1.55 for
the round trip. This would make 1858
for railroad fare. Then there would
be additional expense for such items
as the drayage, freight on cannons,
etc. so that l would hardly feel Sc
cured with less than $780,
THE members of the faculty of this
university intend to visit Lewiston in
a body during the first week in April
and l think it would be very desirable
to hold the encampment at the same
time; that is, from April to Z.
Teachers from all over the state will
be there at that time"

dressing letters and other mail mat
ter will be inaugurated In the United

tribution of mail matter.
