fore Mr.. Hitchcock became Sec
rotary of the Interior there
were few convictions of the land
thieves, and since his retire
ment few prosecutions have
been instituted.
The conservation policy, in
volving the proper course Con-
gress should take to protect the
public domain from spectators
and Trusts, and for the settlers,
is important, but it is another
matter. 1t is one on which
there may be legitimate differ
ences of opinion. But the In
terror Department and the De-
partment of Justice ought to
find some way of discouraging
the men who are getting public
property in violation of law.

SNOW HILL. MD. JAN. %
PERFECTLY SATISFIED.

There is nothing like being
satisfied. When one is satisfied
with himself all the world looks
nice to him. When one is salts
fled with his bushes, it is a
glorious feeling. When the peo-
pie of a town are satisfied that
the old town is just humming
and that she is the top of the
heap what's the use of rustling
for more trade? What's the
use of getting worried because
there is not enough work to go
round ? What's the use to lay
awake thinking how to bring
new industries to a town that
has a plenty of all the good
things a beneficent Providence
places in its hands without any
effort on the part of the town !?
And that reminds us. 1t is
very evident that the business
men of Snow Hill do not see
anything in organization. That
they do not believe a Board of
Trade is worth while. That
they are satisfied whenever
someone discovers us on the
map he will come down and ask
for the privilege of starting up
some kind of an industry which,
with our permission, will give
employment to people who need
it, and will bring money into
the pockets of our business men
who apparently want to be let
alone in their peacefulIslumbers.
Someone remarks that this
kind of plain talk will not be
appreciated. Well, we believe
it will. We do not think that
any sensible business man of
Snow Hill will find fault with
us if we are trying to arouse
him in his own interest. If
there is such a one, well--we
don't believe there is.

ACCORDING to the Post Office
Department report for 1909 there
were 80 rural free delivery
routes on which more than 50,-
600 pieces of mail were handled;
yet on only one of these did the
receipts amount to 81 900 on the
mail collected, and in one sub
urban route the collections of
the carrier amounted to less
than $40 Since these were the
busiest and most remunerative
routes, it is not surprising that
this branch of the postal ser
vice should show a large deficit.
The Postmaster General reiter-
ates the suggestion of his pre-
decessor last year, that a local
parcel-post system should be es-
tablished experimentally on a
number of rural routes. This
might increase the revenues of
the rural postmaster but it is
not evident that the collections
of the carriers would be larger
than they were. The increase
would be in the mail carried
to the jewellers on rural routes ;
the mail sent by them would re-
main about what it was.

LAND FRAUDS AND POLICIES.

The first step to be taken in
the conservation of our natural
resources is to enforce the crimi-
nal laws and put the depreda-
tors on the public domain in
Jail. There ought to be no diff
ference of opinion about this,
except that the rascals who
have made fortunes and expect
to make more fortunes out of
the national endowment are, of
course, opposed to it.
In the public land States and
Territories most of the larger
land thieves have money, and
are carrying on railroads or
ranches or sawmills running
night and day on public timber
lands, or would open up coal
mines if they could get the prop
critics economically by hiring
men to get patents on pretense
of being settlers, and then turn
their patents over to the men
who employ them. Consequent
ly, these men always have a
good deal of local sentiment
with them. Judges have some
times ruled favorably to them.
Juries have often acquitted
them. They have the influence
of the Senators or Congressman
or Delegates from their region.
Sometimes they have been chair
men of State Committees. and,
if not, they been able to enlist
the cooperation of such chair
men.
Among men in Congress from
the public land States and Ter
ritories there has been one not
able exception. A few years
ago Mr.. Gibson was a Senator
from Montana, and he was
thoroughly opposed to land
stealing, and made a notable
speech in the Senate, describing
the methods of the land thieves

Chief Storm Centers.
For these and other reasons the cam
oaign now closing is one OF unusual
moment The last week or the cam
paisn will bf marked 10y strenuous fight
inE all along the line. New York, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Cal
ifornia will be the chief storm centers.
But they are by no means the only cen
tiers of hot campaigning. Pennsylvania
has an extremely inter, sting political
situation. So has Delaware, Missouri,
Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming, North
Dakota and several other States.
So far as the House is concerned, the
prospects are in favor OF Democratic
control The trend for months has
seemed TO be Democratic. Forecasts
differ widely in figures. Many predict
overwhelming victory for the Democrats
with respect to the House.
The Indications are. however that the
House is a close proposition as between
the Republicans ana Democrats, and
that the Democrats viii win, n at all,
by narrow margin.

Bearing on 1919.

continues to be the center Of the most
absorbing political contest i'm the en-
tire country Among other reasons for
the interest taken i'm New York, poll
-ticians feel that the results there this
year viii have much bearing on 1872.
II the Democrats can sweep New York
away from the Republicans this year.
they will stand a good show of repeat
ing the performance in the Presidential
campaign.
The prominence OF Roosevelt in the
Kew YORK contest mas centered the
notice of the whole country on that
Stale. The Democrats have hammered
constantly on the idea that d vote for
StImSOu for governor rs a vote for
Roosevelt in 1872 Roosevelt, having
been made the issue, ROOSeveIt'S friends
and enemies alike all over the land
want to know whether he Is going 10

As things stand now, a Republican
