is expected that n date early next

date is looked upon as a victory for
the Taft forces. which are in control
OF the central committee. That the
committee will demand primaries for
state convention delegates, the issue
to be the Endorsement OF Secretary
Taft or Senator Foraker, is almost as
sured. Chairman Walter Il. Brown is
known to favor this method of proce-

doubtless agree with him. The For

A MEMORABLE
FEDERAL DECISION.


In a series OF opinions delivered yes
terday Judge Lewis held In the most
emphatic terms that It is not crimi.
nal conspiracy for a citizen in advance
of his purchase OF public coal lands
To agree with other persons either
individual or corporate to convey to
them the tract he is about to enter,
and that il is immaterial who furnish
es the money to pay the government
the purchase price.
These decisions mean that the per
sistent efforts of the land department
10 create crimes out OF contracts rela-
tive to the acquiring of title to coal
lands has proved abortive.
In a mastery and exhaustive review
of the subject Judge Lewis clearly es-
tablishes that no federal statute pro
hibts contracts between entTymen and
others touching the disposition of title
to coal property. whether such con
tracts are made before or after steps
have been taken to initiate purchase

seek TO declare agreements to convey

the state have been injuriously affect.

It is to be hoped that department
officials and public servants in general
viii hereafter temper their zeal with
sound judgment and refrain from maxi

Sis .ac,s and the law clearly justify
criminal prosecution.
In the past land office functionaries
have apparently acted on the assump-
tion that fraud or illegality was the
rule and good faith the exception in
the requirement of title to public
lands-it Is but one short step from
suspicion to belief and abonnding faith

and courageous rulings which SO ef
