THE LESSON OF THE BORAH
TRIAL.

There is more than mere personal
resentment in the comments OF Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho on the manner in
which the stone and timber law OF
the nation is administered. Primar.-
~, the purpose of the government )
policy is to protect the public do
main against the greed of grasping
Spectators, rather than to discour-
age and prohibit investments of a
legitimate business character and for
wholly legitimate business purposes.
Senator Borah declared the stone
and timber law to be a ''piece of
infamy as administered, because it
forces "a man to swear that he does
not take it on speculation" which
the department has construed to
mean that she must not take it with
a view of selling it, On the face
of it, such a construction is forced.
Speculation is one thing, and per-
fectly legitimate business investment
for strictly legitimate business pur-
poses is quite another thing.
Every man who buys thing for
the purpose of selling it at a rea-
sonable and fair profit is not, in
strict legal contemplation, or in the
commonly accepted significance Of
the word, speculatOr, and it was
not the purpose of congress, and
should not now be the policy of the
government, to class as criminals
men who engage in these perfectly
legitimate and necessary business
transactions.
The record in the BOrah case,
which amply justified the prompt &C
quittal of the Idaho Senator, again
emphasizes the need or recasting the
laws of the nation having to with the
public domain. Ordinary business

TOO


News has come to the Daily
World of a peculiar combat last Sun
day over on Southside.
1t appears that a young lady, Ma
bel Hayne, about Is years of age.
was passing through lonely fed
on her way to a neighbours. When
nearly across the uninhabited stretch
of ground she noticed coyote, fol-
lowing closely on her heels and act
ing very strangely. Familiar with
the eccentric mannerisms of the wild
dogs she felt no alarm until the vi
cious mongrel suddenly sprang for
ward and snapped his teeth at her
with venomous intent Looking
hastily about, the self-posSesSed
maiden sought some weapon of de-
Tense against the malicious animal.
In the patch back of her long,
stout switch had fallen from some
rancher's wagon as he passed over
the trail Reaching this the plucky
girl seized it and struck out right
and left at the crouching coyote.
Beating the cringeing animal over
the ears and face with the singing
switch, Miss Hayne backed rapidly
up the trail calling for help. Luck
lily two approaching ranchers heard
her cries, and started to her aid.
At their approach the persistent coy
ote abandoned his quest and Hoped
off into the sage.
Old hunters and others familiar
with the habits and cowardly dispo-
sition of the coyote say that such all
occurrence as this is most extraordi-
nary.
Miss Mabel Hayne, it is said, killed
such a coyote when she was but IS
years of age. She saw it sleeping
near an alfalfa stack. went and Dor
rowed pitchfork or some other gar
den tool, and slew the sleeping crea-
ture.

postponement. The fact was commented upon that one of the absentees from the Union Pacific meeting was a capitalist regarding whose health unfavorable ru- mors have been in circulation and whose intention to visit the financial district today was declared yesterday as disprov- ing the rumors. His connection with the copper industry gave occasion for some further special weakness In that group. A more substantial explanation was the fur ther drop in the price of copper both in the London market and at the New York metal exchange.
 The course of the copper and iron mar
 kets is receiving a large amount of at
 tention since the published statement by a director of the Unite States steel cor poration that orders for July had fallen out % to 30 per cent from those received in July 1906. Americtn Smelling always shows close sympathy with the metal in- dustry, but it suffered in addition today from reports of the intended organization of opposition and competitor. United States Steel was comparatively firm, being helped by tho reports of resumption of operations in the Lake Superior Iron min ing regions.
 Foreign markets shared in the depres- sion which existed here and weak returns were made both by the Bank of England and the Bank of France Foreign ex- change here moved further rom the gold export point Rates for money continued to be firmly held. The loss of the banks to the sub-treasury since the week began was considerably reduced. but the pay ment of a note for $2,5OO.OOO by the Gen. tral Pacific to the government established credit balance for the sub-treasury at the clearing house today of s2,299,818.
 The favorable effect of the good yearly showing of the Atchson earnings has at ua q
 paid to the comparatively unfavorable showing of the June net earnings. Owing ! to the constant vibration operations that the net changes at the end of the day were most insignificant.

STOCK MARKET
 SHOWS WEAKNESS Tone is Feverish and Declines
 Still Continue MONEY RATES ARE FIRN Foreign Markets Share In the Depres- . sion of American, Which Seem to Be Under Influence of Bear
 ish Railroad Stocks.
MONEY RATES ARE FIRh.

New York, August 1.-The professional traders in stocks were very dilgent in efforts to move prices and they met with more or less success at different times But any efforts to realize on the move ment revealed how small was the company of those operating and carried prices back toward the starting point. It was expected apparently that the Southern Pacific dividend rate at 6 per cent would stir up some sort of animation, but the effect was scarcely more than ratifica- ton of the intention so explicitly stated by the directors of that system a week ago that there was no room to suppose any departure from the plan. Yet the stock market virbrated quite feverishly although within a narrow range with the circula- tion of rumors that hitch had occurred in the proposed increase, or that a failure of quorum to attend the meetiug would necessitate delay. When the formal announcement of the per cent was made the whole market sold off, the Harrimans losing all of the earlier aJ- Vances.
 The reaction was clearly due to realiz- ing, and it found significant demand attracted by the actual advance in the dividend rate. This additional evidence of the unresponsiveness of the market to any favorable news proved a fresh damper on speculative enthusiasm. The adjourn ment of the Union Pacific directors for want of a quorum without acting on the dividend semes to have been unfavorably construed, although the only surprise that has been suggested as a possibility in the Union Pacific dividend rate was of an increase.
 The frankness which has been used Tn regard to the actions and even the inten- tons of the Southern Pacific directors in contrast with last years secrecy has puzzled the speculative public so much that they are inclined to suspect ulterior surprises. This was the only explanation of the view taken of the Union Pacific
