NoN-PARTisAN GRAFT.

Both the Democratic Republican
platforms in Oklahoma declare in fav-
or of the immediate sale of school
lands in the new state. Two reasons
are assigned for such a patriotic una
nimity of expression on this subject.
One reason is that the men who have
these lands leased are working to Sc
cure them through political influence,
and the other reason is that the sale
would place something like twenty
million dollars in the state treasury.
That amount of money in the control
of the political grafters would prove
an enticing argument" for the dispo-
sal of the school lands from a purely
political standpoint. But Oklahoma
cannot afford to CONVEX these lands
into cash without some more logical
reason than the ambition of the and
grabbers to secure the real estate or
the desire of the politicians to handle
the cash.-Kansas City Times.
Grating is just as non-partisan il
New Mexico as it is in Oklahoma
the issue is honesty against dishon-
esty in Territorial administration.

WHY X

Albuquerque Advertiser Dem-)
Why all this protest against the in
vestigatioa of the land frauds By gov
officials?
1T is the business of the general
government to protect the public land
and to prosecute crimes against the
government, and it is perfectly proper
to send in any old kind of a man to
do the work, just SO he gets to the
bottom of things, and brings those de-
serving it to justice.
And even if it is Interference by
the general government, which it is
not, how can the Investigation hurt
any innocent man?
Why should those not guilty of some
unlawful act are whether the govern
ment Investigates or not, just so the
guilty are punished and the land re
stored to its proper owners?
The Advertiser has no very exalted
ideas of the ability of the heads of the
land department, but it does not OBJ
ject to a full investigation of the land
frauds in New Mexico, yer if nothing
OF actual benefit is accomplished. ANY
kind of an investigation will do some
good, and a real investigation will
probably land some of the former ter
ritorial officials in Jail.
Bring on more government investi-
gators, and let all the truth be known.
The people of New Mexico have a per-
feet right to know how their public
land was disposed of. and f there
was any crookedness in III OF the
deals, which 1t p ea there was,
they should know the men responsible
When prominent men get out and
make a fight against investigation
they simply bring suspicion upon
themselves. and we suggest o them
that instead OF ob~structing the work
of the mel sent out here to reveal
the doings of those manipulating the
