early last Friday morning, is be-
lieved to have been cleared up,
much to the relief of his relatives.
An old man, entered under the
name of William Olsen at the Dea-

relatives.

aracts of the eyes by Drs. Thomp-
son and Coe and is reported to be
getting along as well as a man of
his age could be expected. Olsen
was taken to the hospital by John
living in the eastern end
of the city, who knew him and was
sorry for his unfortunate condition.
Mr.. Olsen's description at the police
station does not mention anything
his eyes other than
that he always wore glasses. He Is
quite feeble and childish.

possibly those powers which are in
part Of a judicial character.
In all frankness is should be
stated that the good faith of the
whole affair is mistrusted. The
words in which Mr.. Taft declares
the purpose which he seeks to
look to many like a plain repudia-
ton of the railroad policies of his
predecessor. Needless and unnec-
essary interference with business"
is not what members of the Roose-
welt cabinet told him he was guilty
OF when he urged the passage of
the rate law. On the other hand,
that is exactly what the railroads
called 1t.
The bureau of corporations was
Roosevelt's earliest triumph. It's
work has been the one worst thorn
in the corporations side. The GRIM
inal penalties in the present rate
law are regarded by the corpora
ton lawyers as needless and
unnecessary interference" with
much of their present and contem-
plated business. The powers of the

wiping out rebates and unfair dis
elimination and in collecting con-

corporation lawyers as calculated

porations as we'll as bad"

officials stood by their guns, and
as a result new land laws, intend
ed to put the land grabber out of
business, have been enacted by
the legislature.
The battle for supremacy was
bitter. So desperate did it become
that F. A. Hyde, who recently was
convicted by the government of
fraud in connection with the sale
of public lands in Oregon, came to
Sacramento with his lieutenant,
John D. Alderman, and assumed
personal charge of the land grab
bling rings fight, causing the At
torney General, U. S. Webb, to
take a hand in the affair.
Now that the Thompson bill has
been passed, Kingsbury is planning
to continue his crusade against
the land grabbers. He is being
backed by the attorney general and
Governor James N. Gillett. The
anti-land grabber war, which in
reality has just begun, promises
to be one of sensational develop
ments with an inning or so in the
courts.
Surveyor General Kingsbury has
been i'm Office two years. Shortly
following his election he discover
ed that thousands of acres of pub
lie lands had been stolen from the
state. Kingsbury consulted with
Deputy Attorney General Glenn
and the two prepared new set OF
laws, put them in the shape of a

liant fight to overthrow Cannon

Townsends service to the organi-
cation has endeared him to all the
friends of Cannon. At the same
time it is not Iossible for other
people to overlook hint of some
thing savoring of treachery in the
selection of this particular inter-

1t is entirely possible that suspi-

injustice. 1t cannot be denied,
however, that the suspicious state

things have happened lately which
have seemed to show studied eff

scrutinized with more and more

situation. although IL 10 generally ad.
mitted that the result viii be close
whether it goes against the liquor elc-
ment or otherwise.
A factor which has influenced the sen
timent to no small degree this year is
the action of the last legislature in en-
acting law taking the license fees
from the towns and cities which vote for
the open saloon and placing the money
in the state treasury. to be distributed
again among all the places in the state
az a part Of the permanent school
fund. This means a heavy loss TO the
city of Rutland, which has received the
income from II licenses. IT is expected
that numerous citizens will vote against
license this year for the reason that the
city will not be benefited in any way
by the open saloon under the new con-
ditions.

been lukewarm as compared with pre-.
yious ones, but viii be given impetus
