in the recent Haywood trial, was him
self placed on trial on the serious
charge of having %conspired to defnaud
the government of 1920 acres of
Idaho timber lands. Together with
Borah, twelve other men were in
dicted, including one known as

to be none other than the late Gov.
S~teunenberg of Idaho, as announced
by District Attorney Rluick. The
case was called before Judge Ed
ward White, with an imposing array
of counsel on either side and a big
crowd of spectators in attendance.
Among Borah's attorneys is James
II. Hawley, senior counsel for the
state in the Haywood trial. 1t is
charged that 19S residents of Boise
county took out timber claims in
their w names, whereas they We're
really representing others by agree
ment. The conduct of Ruick before
the March grand jury had been i'm
peached by the defense and was I'M

at the time Borah's trial began.

Bitter charges of immortality and
are made against America
by Maxim Gorky in a sensational new
novel entitled Mother" which APP
peared simultaneously, at Liepsic
and Moscow. Gorky defends his
action in taking to America a woman
who was not his wife, and retaliates
for the treatment accorded him in
,merica when the identity of his
companion was discovered. He in
sists that America is the most i'm
moral country in the world and says
divorces are most abundant and that
society is corrupt to the core. The
book has been c%onficated in both
cities where it was published and
circulation will not be permitted un-
less many passages are omitted.

Golfers Weekly points out that
two-thirds OF all the savings of the
country are in the banks of New York
and New England. The rest of the
country is poorly provided with saw
ings banks, and 1T is the purpose OF
the proposed postal savings system to
provide for the rest of the country as
good facilities as those now enjoyed
by the eastern part of the country. A
postal system would give absolute
security to the savings of the peo-
pie, and this would stimulate the
habit Of thrift-a good thing for any
country. We are behind the rest of
the world in this respect, but the
present outlook is that it will not
be long before the system is inaug-
urated in the United States.

A Washington dispatch says more
than ordinary interest attaches to
the elections for governor and state
officers in a few of the states in No
vember because of the bearing the
elections may have on the great con-
test next year. The elections will
take place November 5. That of
Pennsylvania, wi confined to a
state treasurer c4.'Y, is important.
The office is now the hands of a
democrat, who ex osed the eXtrava-
gance of the republicans in furnishing
and trimming the state capitol. Ken
lucky, Maryland. Massachusetts, Mis-
sissippi, New Jersey and Rhode Is
land will elect governors. AT pres
ent four of the states have democratic
governors. Mississippi and perhaps
Kentucky may be conceded to the
democrats. But in Maryland, which
the democrats carried for Warfield in
1903 by 1865, the following year
the presidential vote was so close
that one Roosevelt elector was chos-
cI. The Rhode Island democrats last
year elected Higgins governor Niy
1918, but they lost the state to
Roosevelt in 1904 by 1876. OF
the TWO representatives in congress
elected last year Granger is a demo-
crat and Capron a republican. In
1904 the republicans carried New
Jersey for Roosevelt by S0,59S and
for Stokes for governor by 5 1,644,
Last year, however, the democrats
had a majority of two in the stats
assembly. Guild was elected govern
or of Massachusetts last year by. 80,
2333, but the tariff-revision issue, il
the democrats push it hard and TAKE
advantage of it, may be a determin
ing factor in the pending election
There are signs of democratic divi
sion, however, that may defeat thei1
nominees. General significance vii
attach to the election in New Yorl
of two judges Of the court Of appeals
the assembly and possibly the stat,
senate.

The United Circuit Court of Ap-
peals at Denver has affirmed the de-
cision Of the lower court against the
Great Northern railroad in the rebate
cases, thus deciding In favor of the
government an important point, to
the effect that prosecutions under
the old Elkins act are not invali-
dated by the new Hepburn rate law.
The higher court holds that the Hep
burn act Is amendatory and not re-
pealing, and that SO far as It re-
speats portions OF the Elkins act AZ
continues them In force. and that In
far as It omits or changes the
provisions Of the Elkins act II re-
speals them. The ofrenses consist IA

Chicago leads all American cities
in TIE number of arrests for homi-
eide. During the six years from 1900
to 1905, inclusive, that city is
credited with 500 such arrests. New
York with GAS and Philadelphia with
3S7. A comparison with an Euro
pean city is even more startling, for
there III persons charged with MUIR
der in the Windy City in 1905 and
six in Berlin in the same year. The
number of those actually punished
for mortal crimes is not available,
.but it is probably a much more
modest figure.

The Rivers Belong to the People.

The Rivers Belong to the People.
President Roosevelt remarks that
the waterways of the United States
are as much national assets as the
harbors along the coast, and equally
call for improvement at the hands
of the National Government. 1t is
the right view and in time will be
fully accepted by congress. In an era
when public ownership is much dis
cussed 1t is gratifying to know that
the title to the rivers is completely
vested in the people, and that no
struggle is needed to GOV their
franchises at fancy figures. No pri-
vate capitalization Of the Mississippi,
the Missouri or the Ohio is an anxiety
with speculative financiers, nor has
Wall street turned the streams in
to fictitious values to be maintained
on penalty Of an outcry about i'm
pending panic. On the banks of a
river a citizen may feel that he is
looking upon public property in
which he has a share, and that this
form OF ownership can never be
alleniated. Congress holds the con-
troll, makes the navigation laws,
and in the common interest reserves
all general rights on natures arter-
Lies whose currents flow forever
toward the sea.
Money to improve the rivers might
easily be obtained from private cor
pcrations il franchises could be had
from the government, but no such
concessions are possible unless the
people should decide to sell a prec-
ious birthright. In fo~rgetfulness 81
the fact that the dearest bargain is
one made with monopolists. Tho
American people wiliSbe ready to fur:
nish the money for the proper i'm
provement of rivers and lakes as t.
supply the means to build an isthi'
milan canal, an undertaking bY.whicf
all nations are to be 4beneftted
though one alone pays the cost. How
much will be needed to secure per:
manent deep channels is as yet but
estimated, but as far asengineers
have gone into surveys and figures
the outlook Is distinctly favorable
It will be noticed that atPanama the

Peace in Morocco.

The settlement in Morocco will
please all of Europe but especially
France. Under the Algeciras treaty
of which the United States was one
OF the signers, the duty of policing
Morocco devolycs upon France and
Spain, but France will be the pre-
dominant partner in the work. The
war which has resulted was preeipi-
tated by the attacks which the
Modrs made on the white residents
at some of the ports, especially at
Casablanca, and III this trouble the
heaviest part OF the fighting had to
be done by France.
For political as well as for human
itarian reasons Europe is glad that
peace has m If the war had ne
cessitated an invasion of Morocco by
a large force, France would be strong
ly tempted to r~ecompense herself BY
siezing and holding some territory.
this possibly aroused Germany's dis
trust at the outset, and as the kaiser
interfered in the Anglo-French-Span-
ish arrangement of 1904, in which
France was virtually allowed a free
hand in the pacific penetration Of
Morocco, there has been a dread
that he would say or do something
which would disturb the concert, and
bring the Moroccan issue up in dam
gerous shape again, as he did three
years ago. Apparently now, all peril
of this sort has vanished. France
will be allowed to carry out the plans
laid down by the powers at Algeciras
and Morocco will cease to menace the
peace of Europe.
Commercially the interest of the
United States in Europe is small. The
president at first vas unwilling to
take part in the conference at Al
geciras which dealt with the Moro
can issue, but as the United States
had participated in a similar. issue
i'll 1880, which was held at Madrid,
he decided to send delegates to the
recent meeting Of the powers. Moth
ing that was done at Algeciras, how
ever, commits us to- take sides in
any of the disputes which the
European nations may fall into rs
garding tho domain of the sultan
Abdul Aziz. We will keep out of al
entanglements which that issue may
cause. The United States rejoice.
at the ending of the war in the blacl
continent and hopes that the issue
when have developed from this Nor
ocean controversy may receive som
attention from the peacemakers a
