HURTS THE TAFT BOOM
EFFECT OF LAND FRAUD IN
QUIRIES IN THE WEST.
Reason to Believe That the Presi-
dent Has Listened to Sena-
torial Warning.

Certain western senators and repre-
sentatives who have visited the White
House during the last few days are
plainly pleased with the announcement
that the administration will suspend its
investigation CT public land frauds for
the present. According to a story that was
told by one of the western men this after
to realize that the continued activity of
the small army of special agents who are
trying to discover land frauds in the
west Is having a serious political effect.
Within the next few weeks, or at least
within the next three months, conven-
tions will be held in several western
states to elect delegates to the republican
national convention.
There is lot of dissatisfaction with
the public land Investigations which have
been carried on in the west without ces-
sation, for the last half dozen years
1t is represented that the people gem
punish fraud. but there have been many
complaints that the special agents sent
out by the Department of Justice and
the Interior Department have in num-
berless instances exhibited an utter lack
of tact and have. through injudicious pro-
ceedings, needlessy smirched private
character Some of the leading politicians
in the western states have recently mani
tested an inclination to kick over the
traces. They are tired of the hunt for
land thieves for the reason that many in
nocent persons have been involved in the
investigation and have suffered in con-

Judge Lewis Decision.

The decision TO suspend public land
investigations for the present rests os-
tensibly on the fact that Judge Lewis
of Colorado recently handed down de-
cisiop adverse to some of the main points
raised by the government in it's prosecu-
ton of land cases. 1t is believed by
lawyers. however, that the decision of
Judge Lewis is not so comprehensive as
to make it necessary for the government
to suspend altogether it's activity against
the alleged land thieves
Il has beer felt by the administration
for some time that the chance of Sc
curing solid Taft delegations from the
far-western states was being impaired by
the presence there of from thirty to fifty
special agents engaged in detective work.
and there IS strong reason to believe that
President Roosevelt has not failed to
listen to the advice and warming which
certain western senators have given him.

The 1st Battery, Field Artillery, held
drill last Friday and the attendance made
the faces and the buttons of the officers
seem brighter There were several rea-
sons for the large out-turn OF the red
men. One of the reasons was the receipt
by every man in the battery of the fol-
lowing order:
Drills of the battery will be resumed
Friday. January 10. Every member of
the command is hereby ordered TO be
present or to send a written explanation
of his absence. In the interest of the
service and in Justice to those who make
every sacrifice to attend regularly to their
military duties, all those members of the
command who are constantly absent from
drills will be discharged during this
month This order is final announce
me mt to all delinquents.
The note of determination in this order
brought back many of the absentees.
Pistols were distributed TO the men and
most of the drill time was given up to the
manual of the pistol Progress was re-
garded as satisfactory.

LIGHT UPON COUNTRY LIFE.

President Roosevelt has started a sensible and practical inquiry by ap, pointing a commission to investigate the conditions of country life When the rural population is relatively or actually declining. as it Is in this country and over most of the world, it is we'll to seek the cause of ten dency After the facts have been fully and dispassionately brought forth. there will be a better oppor. runiry to seek and apply a remedy.
 It is presumptuons and frivolous in any man to claim that be has nothing more to learn on the subject and that it would be idle to attempt any improvement in farm life by means of legislation.
 The object of this Inquiry is to ascertain whether or not the coop eratiou of all the people, in the form of legislation. may accomplish any good in that direction. not hitherto attempted.
 The investigation will have to do with the social side of rural life. par. ticularly with the exodus of young men and young women to the cities, No one can deny that that shifting of population is bad in four ways. It depletes the farms of the labor needed upon them. It burdens the cities with a population they cannot always care for It Is often lnjur.

 Just at present. the farmer is be. Ing well paid for his crops. but 1t is not very long since neither grain nor any other produce brought paying prices. The price of wheat Is made by the worlds demand against the worlds production and registered in Liverpool, and sometimes 1t is too low for the comfort of the American farmer. We would like to know whether that is the chief drawback of farming as an industry or whether there are other unpleasant features of more consequence.
 We need not despair of finding a cure for the pathological condition which the presidents diagnOstIcians will report. We feel encouragement in that hope by the progress that has been already made. Rural free delivery. the telephone and the troll ley line have done much to bring to the country all the comforts and con venlences of the city. without taking away the advantages which the cOun- try has over the city. and good roads will do much more.
