THE COST OF I LAND oPENINcGs,. \

1t costs the people about eight mil
hons OF dollars to open to settlement
the lands in the two reservations re-
Gently put upon the market by gey-
lernment lottery in South Dakota,
More than $4,000 persons will iile
their claims for drawing, and Sit is
authoritatively estimated that they
averaged an expense of at least $40
each, most of which went into the
Golfers OF the various railroads. On
these three reservations there were
about 5000 farms, which, at a liberal
estimate, may be valued at an aver
age OF $40 an acre. There are pro-
bably not more than $50 first-class
farms in the whole lot, the value Of
which will, perhaps, run to $40 an
acre. Thus it can be seen that the.
value OF the lands opened is altogeth-
er out OF proportion to the enormous
expense incurred by homeseekers. !.
Such q method is absurd and STUPID.
and, while the present system Of lot
terry opening, whether authorized hy
law or not, is q great Improvement
upon the old stampede method Of the
past, yet 1T has little beyond that fact
to recommend it.
An official OF a land Office has aup-
gested a plan which should 60 far to-
ward correcting the present evils, He
proposes to have all applications for
land made by mail to the ofiice ID
Washington, each application to be
accompanied by money order for S2b
as evidence Of good faith. The draw
ing would take place whore and when
directed by the land department, and
any applicant who drew farm and.
did not take it would forfeit his sab.
Under the present system, where
there is no forfeit required, hundreds
of unqualified applications are made
as a joke with no intention Of taxing
up the land. 1t takes q long time to
weed out these "joke" entries. II

The expenditure Of $1,000. 900 and
more to gain q chance at obtaining

ger OF the American people; but there

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Arizona mule has kicked the
Missouri hee-haw off the pedestal Of
fame. Moreover, he has kicked the
daylights out of the popular idea that
the mule is the symbol of profound
ignorance.
Maybe you don't know the Arizona
mule. Well, he is about as big as a
6-months- calf, and looks like q
cross between hairless goat and q
hornless cactus. He will drink any
thing from water to tobacco sauce
and eat anything that ism It locked up
in safety deposit vault. His charact-
er may be described as dormant; that
is, If called upon to do anything rea-
sonable, he won't. His disposition
is latent and harmonious, and wholly
adaptable. In case of cyclone, desert
SIMEON or arctic blizzard, he simply
turns the corned-beef end of him to-
ward the weather, and goes on calmly
thinking and chewing whatever hap
pens to be in his mind and mouth.
But, don't put the Arizona mule
down as ignorant. The other day
they led up. the Arizona mule to bear
Taft down the great trail of the Colo
rado at Grand Canyon. The mule
looked William over. There were
some 300 pounds of presidential meat.
The mule wouldn't. They begged
and pleaded. They called attention
to the fact that the 300 was all chief
executive meat. They expatiated up
on the courtesy due from the great
and ambitious commonwealth of
Arizona to her distinguished visitor.
The mule wouldn't. They held
out visions Of red clover in buckets
and juicy cactus in honey. The mule
knew it wouldn't be safe to either
president or mule, and the mule
wouldn't, and Taft didn't ride the
famous trail.
Whereupon 1t becomes us to say
that, for patriotism and sense, the
Arizona mule, has got the hitherto
famous Missourian faded to a FRAGILE.

ENTITLED TO TRIAL IN STATE.

We are glad to notice that the at
tempt taking of Indiana newspaper
men to Washington for trail on Grim
inal proceedings under charge Of
libel has been defeated by adecision Of
Judge Anderson Of the federal court,
to the effect that the editors of the
Indianapolis News cannot be lawfully
subjected to such treatment.
According to this decision a news
paper libel, when committed, is com
mitted at the place where the paper il
published and not at every point to
which such papers may be sent by its
publishers. However much this de-
cision may Interfere with the Roose-
velt plan to make somebody sweat for
the publication of the Panama scandal
it is a reasonable ruling.
The success of the Roosevelt plan
for the punishment of the publishers of
the indianapolis News would have been
a severe blow to the freedom of the
press. 1t would have published a
Washington censorship over the entire
press of the country. No newsp aper
in the United States would have felt at
liberty to discuss public affairs with
the freedom which such affairs should
be discussed if, at any moment, it's
publisher could be jerked up at presi-
dental behest and whisked off to Wash
ington to face a trial in an atmosphere
wholly dominated by the national ad-
ministration, and in a manner that
would entail endless expense to the ac-
cused.
Judge Anderson's aolding is simply
that we are to be free in this country
from the terrors of lese majestic pro-
ceedings, and that if publisher is
accused of transgression of the lawful
properties in the discussion of national
affairs, he is at least to be assured of a
trial in his own state.
