 Were Not Qualified
 According to their own admissions, neither Hiram w. BlaisdelI or William H. Beman, were qualified to take, by assignment, the land in question, while they held the blank assignment, from Green, owing to the fact that they each then held land under other desert land applications,
 The opinion continues:
 After careful examinations of the records in this case, we are of the opinion that the entry made by Green was fradulent in it's inception, for the reason that entryman was not quail fled to make same, never having seen the land in question and having pre- viously signed, in blank, an assign ment of the same.
 Further. that the proofs are offered, while the assignment was so held, were false and fraudlent.
 The good faith on the part of en- tryman upon which all such claims are dependent, was absolutely lacking The entryman at the time of making the entry in question, had put it be- yOnd his power to acquire title to the land SO entered, without committing perjury, and therefore had forfeited any right which he might have other wise had.
 50, even for the sake of argument, admitting that the assignment was not made until subsequent to the time en- try was made, the said entry must be canceled.
 Assjonments Antidsted Entries
 Tn the opinion of this office, how ever, it is clearly shown that the as sigument in question antidates the en- try in point of time of execution.
 Counsel for contestee has sought to show that the contestee herein took the assignment in question without notice of the imperfectiOns of title, and asserts that he therefore is en, titled to protection as an innocent pur- chaser for value and without notice of such imperfections
 That this position is not tenable hardly need be asserted in view of the consistency with which the Depart ment and such courts of competent Jurisdiction as have had the question presented to them have answered this question in the negative.
 Said decisions clearly show that the contestee herein could not by any possible construction be accorded con sideration as an innocent purchaser.
 "A bona fide purchaser of land is one who is the purchaser of the legal tltle or estate, and a purchaser of a mere equity is not embraced in the definition
 "The doctrine of bona fide purchas- CTS has repeatedly been held not to apply to one who purchases before the issuance of patent, and that such purchasers must abide by a dispOsi- tion of the case by the proper author

LIBERAL SUPPORT FOR BASEBALL

Local lovers of the great national
game are much elated over the liberal
manner in which the business men of
Grangeville have contributed toward
the support of baseball team for the
coming summer. Everybody is en-
Enthusiastically in favor of having a good
ball team and with unanimity have
manifested an interest by subscribing
to the fund. No one was asked for
large amount, it being deemed best
to con6ne contributions to small sums
and give all a chance to help, and
with but slight effort a sufficient
amount has been guaranteed to defray
the expenses of hiring one or more
outside players if need be to strength
en- the local team. Grangeville has
number of exceptionally good ball
players and the encouragement now
given them by the business men will
serve to add stamina to their work
and in short time the team should
develop a degree of efficiency that
will gladden. the hearts of local fans.
A crack ball nine is good adver-
tisement for a town and no pains
should be spared to bring GrangeviIle's
team up to par with the best in this
part of the state. Grangeville's team
should be made winner at whatever
cost. That's what we want that s
what we must have. Play ball!

Clauue IL Bngle, III luSJ Wech >
issue of the Tallahassee Sun, de-
votes an article to Editor Mat
thews, of the Starke Telegraph,
and Editor prevatt, Of the De-
Land Record, in which he says:
"They have a perpendicular as
tigmatism of the vision caused
from looking much Mt the parallel
lines Of the dollar mark. With
half the newspapers in Florida it is
the same. If the crowd with the
money wants to put through "a
deal these papers fall with the side
that has the money, 1t is not
with them question of public
right or public wrong; it is who's
got the money! and 'Does'he line
up with our people"
We understand that there are
$50 newspapers published in
Florida. If this be the correct
number, then, according to
Claude, IS of them are "owned
and controlled" by corporations
and the money power. That is,
they are corrupt and unworthy Of
the respect and confidence of the
people who support them.
Now, The HERALD has no quar-
rel of it's own with Claude about
his opinion that rs of the States
newspapers are corrupt, for the
cap does not fit nor is this paper a
"galled jade" but it begs to sub
NIT that it is just such rot as
Claude is publishing that has al
most destroyed public confidence
in all newspapers, has weakened
their influence and greatly Grip
pied them in whatever efforts they
may 10 exerting for the common
good.
We do not believe, and shall not
do 50 without tangible and visible
evidence, that so many Florida
newspapers are corrupt. If asked
to point out single one which we
honestly believe to be "bought,
owned, controlled by the corpora
tions or money power against
the interests of the people, we
could not do so.
The charge may be true in a
very few cases, but we cannot
even suspect any.
We are personally acquainted
with many of the men who are
our Florida papers and we
cannot believe of any one of them
that money could influence him
to act or write contrary to his
conscientious convictions or to |
knowingly direct the influence
of his paper against the interests
of the people and in favor of those
of the money power and the cor
porations.
In a word, those editors whom
we know, we regard as upright,
conscientious, patriotic and incor-
ruptiblc gentlemen, and Claude
L'Engle is one of them. But
Claude evidently has n "screw
loose in his head"
