The Fight for the West.

The Times publishes today the
story of a remarkable movement
that is going on in the Far West to
develop and organize opinion an
tagonistic to the Roosevelt Admin
istration. While on its face this
movement, started by the Colorado
Legislature and crystallizing into a
summons for a great convention of
business interests to declare against
the public land and forestry policies,
represents hostility to certain
policies. it. is perfectly understood to
have a political motive at the bot
; tom. That motive relates closely to
the clash of opposing factions in
their struggle for control of the Re
publican national convention of 1905
The Roosevelt Administration has
been conducting relentless war on
graft in the public land States. The
campaign is now. under the reor-
gained Interior Department, being
pressed with more vigOr than ever
before. it has aligned against the
Administrations the forces of corpOr-
ate and special interest all over the
West. These are bitterly hostile, as
Is a large element of the politicians.
The people at large in the West
fern States are not indignant over
the prosecution of lawbreakers.
They have no reason to protest
against this part of the Administra-
tiOn's policy. But they are dissatis-
fed with the tremendous expansion
of the forest reserves, the with
drawal of immense areas from set
Element and development, and with
the restrictions that have been en-
ployed TO hamper settlers in getting
patents to public lands This senti-
ment is to be fostered and developed
at the big convention that has been
called at Denver, in the effort to in
duce the people TO cooperate with
the interests in fight all along the
line against the present public land
ipohcleS.
it would be a most remarkable
thing if the West should be lined
mp by such means against the en-
forcement of the laws of the land;
against the stoppage of the ranloest
grating. Yet there is another side
10 the question; the side repeatedly
suggested by some few Western
senators in the great Senatorial de-
lbate last winter, who said present
land laws are not such as to har-
monte with the economic require.

statement is altogether true. The

Beginning Right.

The new Chamber of Commerce
has begun right. 1t has q definite OBJ
ject to be attained by specific steps.
1t has chosen officers who mean
business. Its directors, at yester-
days meeting. established a fine
precedent for promptness, earnest
ness, and hustle. But the test of
the organization is yet to come.
That will be the achievement of
tangible results for Washington in
the conse of the ensuing seven
months.
AT the outset the Chamber has
fixed upon three special detectives:
The erection of an Office building as
a home for the organization; proper
cars of visitors to the jamestown
exposition who pass through Wash
ingto on; the development of strength
for itself and for the trade bodies
themselves by afhIiatiDg with it as
subordinate boards the various local
associations of separate businesses.
Committees are the only feasible
means of getting these results. 1t
is to be hoped, therefore, that the
board of directors will not only
choose them with great care but
take particular pains to include in
! them a goOdly portion of the mem
bership of the Chamber. While they
ought not to be too large, they
ought yet to enlist in the special
work of the organization not less
than 80 or 200 of the rank and file.
The Chamber will succeed in the
end because of the interest of its
members, and that interest can be
fostered only through frequent
meetings and steady work
Quarters which the Chamber can
hold as its own are essential. 1t
must keep modern files of it's CORE
spondence with other similar bodies,
be prepared to receive visiting buy
ers, and by a fixed and reasonably
conspicuous location of its secre-
tary's Office create at the beginning
the impression of stability.
So much is for the organization to
do. The community also has its re-
sponsibility. Nothing win be gained
and much may be lost by attempting
TO carry things through with too
much hurrah. The best support
which this body can obtain at the
hands of the people of the District
is quiet Endorsement and earnest CO.
! operation. The Chamber of Com
merce-being organized solely to
make this a better town to live in and
make moneyin-has a right to expect
that support. If it maintains its
present spirit of Promptness, ginger
and practical business, it will more
than Justify such an Endorsement.

The Lawyers Hopeful.

Since it has turned out that there
is only $4,000, 900 left of the Smith
estate the pickings for the lawyers
arc not quite so attractive as when
it was supposed TO aggregate S7O,-
100000, more or less; but still it is
big enough to give the profession
grave concern over the difficulty of
starting u contest. 1t certainly
would be a fearsome thing if all
that usufruct should be divided up
among a lot of collateral heirs with
never cent to the lawyers.
But the situation looks more
cheerful. The younger brother of
the late Smith is keeping still. Prob
ably 4 lawyer has got in touch with
him and has advised silence. The
young man is reported a wild and
somewhat unconventional person
just where he is cannot be said
surely, but he was supposed to be in
Chile when his brother died. If the
lawyers haven't found him yet il is
fair to expect that they viii, and
that he viii yet be the means of Civ
ing them chance at the big end II
the division of the estate.

Into New Pension Fields.

\ nation already famed for it's
generosity TO its old soldiers may
well raise its eyebrows as it watches
the governor of Pennsylvania these
next few days. For the Legislature
of the Keystone State has let down
the bars and moved into entirely
new fields of pension appropriations.
The proposition is, in brief, simply
that the State shall add a monthly
payment of about $40 to the allow
ances now made by the National
Government to every Pennsylvania
veteran of the civil war.
The measure has not had an easy
time. 1t was proposed by a Demo-
crat, Senator Henry Cochran, of Ly-
coming county, and the Republicans
were afraid to oppose it. So, in the
larger house, they loaded it with
its money burden from about s., OOO,-
600 to S5,sOO,OOO. The latter sum
carries the budget more than $2,OO0,-
600 above the State revenues. The
theory was, perhaps, that this fact
would warrant Republican gov
ernOr in vetoing the bill.
Whether in this expectation or
otherwise, both houses have now
passed the measure in its new form.

Union in debt friends of the project

the allowances for good roads and

away" AS to the hospitals, Senator
Rulings, of Verango, observed:
Millions are being appropriated
every year to hospitals and kindred
institutions, many of which do not
deserve the money. If necessary,
cut these appropriations to raise the
amount"
So the issue is passed along to
Governor Stuart. His position
would not seem to be easy. Political
conditions in Pennsylvania promise
to be none too good for party regu-
lars in the light of recent disclos-
ures as to the State capitol. The
independents were powerful enough
without that aid. And the Demo
Gratis will seize upon a veto of this

elected president OF the Maryland Civil

Hall, Baltimore, and attended by 100 or
800 men and women.
Mr.. RSoaparte made his annual ad-
dress whicE called forth a great deal
of laughter Te told his audience that
many people were disposed to regard
him jokingly. He said he was going TO
be serious, but he was not. He recon-
ciled his career as a civil service re-
former with his career as an Office
holder. He said he was not a boss
and a patronage mCuger. The only Of
fee, he said. which lie was instrumental
in filling was that OF postmaster of
Baltimore. He was anxious to know
how he could have been deposed as a
boss" by a change in the chairman
ship Of the Republican State central
committee, in view Of the fact he had
never been a boss"
The speech on the whole was a mix
