Arguments That Prove Too Much.

Whenever warm fight for prohibition comes up
dog in the nugatory act OF chasing its own tall
They insist upon the vast economic Importance OF
the liquor trafic-it employs so much labor rents
so many buildings, buys much corn, hops and
glassware. Ten thousand saloons, we read, spend
at least million dollars annually simply for laun
derng towels, aprons jackets. Ii you close the sa-
looms the innocent Chinese will be ruined
We don't think that argument convinces any
openeyed person. Every such person knows too
well that the liquor traffic, industrialy considered,
is source Of weakness rather than of strength.
The industrial losses that flow from it far outweigh
the gains. IF city lost three laundries and it's
poorhouse it would on the net balance be consider
ably ahead.
But lest this argument might convince somebody,
the saloon interests promptly nulify it by declaring
that prohibition does not in the least diminish the
consumption Of liquor. Consequently it cannot
diminish the production; many hands are en-
poyed as much barely, glassware and cork is
bought as before.
The simple fact is, Of course, that there is good
argument in favor of the liquor trafic-any
than there is good argument in favor of tuber-
culosis The only question is how best to deal with
it. That the surgery of prohibition is effective only
where local sentiment strongly supports it seems to
be the net result of experience at the present time

Cause of Drunkenness

Cause OF Drunkenness
The Socialist party especially it's leaders, lay strong

Caleb Powers Opposes Edwards.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 15.-One of
the bitterest political battles Ken
lucky has seen in years is being
fought out in the Eleventh congress
sional district of this state today,
the prize being the republican nomi-
nation for congress. Representative
Don c. Edwards, who is a candidate
for denomination, has as his oppo-
nent in the primaries Caleb Powers,
who was several times tried and con-
victed of completely in the murder of
Governor Gobel and subsequently
given his freedom by Governor Will
son. The campaign has been an ex-
tremely exciting one and many bit
ter words have been exchanged on
the stump.

taken, not to the secretary of the
interior, as at present, but to two
judges of the court of appeals to be
taken only on questions of law. On
questions of fact the decisions of the
land court are to be final.
This will permit the commissioner
of the general land Office to devote
his entire time to the executive du-
ties of his position, which are many.
Commissioner bennett is an instance
of busy government officer.
Has Vacation.
He has had short vacation at
Atlantic City, but has been obliged
to remain on the job during the
greater part of the heated period.
Among his other activities he is di-
recting the creation of public land
surveying force in all the public land
states, considerable undertaking
i'm itself.
Then he has the responsibility for
the sale of a vast amount of stump
age in certain Minnesota lands. Also
he is responsible for all sales of all
public lands. Further he has to di-
rect and supervise the work of the
small army of special agents in the
field investigating the bona fide
claims to public lands. Under him
are four or five hundred employees in
Washington, with many others in the
field and at local land Offices. The
above is but a skeletonized state
met of his duties aside from his jul
dicial functions as court of APP
peals from local land decisions.
With it all, since he has been in
office he has found time, with the
aid of business experts, to reOrganize
the whole office and to work great
saving to the government, cutting
out unnecessary red tape, establish
ing modern systems and reducing
labor and expenditures. One of his
successful schemes is the plan of
making copies of long documents by
photography rather than by hand.
1t is expected that the plan for the
new court will be approved by the
president and it is hoped that it will
impress congress favorably.

is a question that is not open to de-
bate. l do not know of a man, east
or west, north or south, who is not
in favor of rational system of con-
servation. A system of conservation
which does not make use of natural
resources rapidly going to waste is
conservation gone to seed. Let me
get this idea firmly fixed in your
minds: Practically 95 1-2 per cent
of the federal resources are located
in the Pacific coast and Rocky noun
tain states.
The eastern states have had the
use of their natural resources. They
have dissipated them and now insist
that they have a right to participate
in the resources of this western
country. They have used their re-
sources to develop their localities. In
other words, they have eaten their
cake and now insist that we shall
share ours with them. They main
tain that the resources of the western
states should be conserved for all of
the people of this nation. They claim
that whatever profit may arise from
the federal forests, the water pow
ers, ETC., should accrue to the bene-
fit of the federal treasury.
The western idea is that as all
these states were admitted to the
Union on an equal footing and what
ever profit there is in these natural
resources should accrue to the bene-
fit of the state treasury and lessen
the burden of taxation in the states
where the reserves are located.

could get for them. Like great
many of the local growers he enclos-
ed a card, asking the consumer of
the fruit to fill out the blank places
in the card, stating the condition OF
the arrival of the fruit and the price
paid for it. Mr. Smith was in re-
ceipt this morning of an answer.
The fruit was purchased in Rae, N.
D., and the consumer paid $2.95 for
this box of Flemish Beauty pears
which ten days ago was sold here
for So cents, giving the dealers and
the railroad company a difference OF
$2.05.

TAFT'SLAND COURT
PROGRESSING
Present System Brings De,
lays and Some Odd Alb
surdities in Results.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Plans for
a land court. in accordance with the
ideas expressed by President Taft in
a special message to congress last
session, are taking shape in the gen.
eral land Office and the department
of the interior. AS pointed out in
these dispatches on September 3, the
need for a tribunal to pass on con-
troversies over claims to public
lands, like the Cunningham claims,
instead of leaving these contro-
versies to be decided by executive
officers. has become strongly appar-
ent during the past year.
The idea most generally favored
by those most intimate with land
Office practices is for the creation
of a bench of four judges in the gen.
eral land Office to pass on appeals
from the rulings of local land Of
fees. The present practice is for
such appeals to be made to the COM
missioner of the general land Of
fee with right of appeal from him
to the secretary of the interior.
Cannot Give Attention.
II is a physical impossibility for
either of these officers to give close
personal attention to all these cases,
some of which are of supreme court
magnitude The tale is told that
some fifteen or eighteen years ago
the law clerk in the Office of the
commissioner was an able lawyer, a
former chief justice of Tennessee,
while the law clerk in the Office of
the secretary of the interior was a
young law school graduate of small
experience. Thus it often fell that
the young graduate reversed the
rulings of the more able, but sub
ordinate lawyer, and his decisions
stood. Conditions have improved
since then, but the demands on the
executive officers have increased and
they still have not the time to de-
vote to the judicial functions of their
offices and must depend on subordi-
mates.

Qualifications Named.

It is proposed, and probably will
be recommended to congress, that
the four judges be men of high quail
ifications, appointed by the presi-
dent, who will devote their whole
time to the land Office appeals. An

pINCHOT SAILS TO MEET ROOSEVELT
Will ExFresn
But
Now Evident That Teddy Will Receive
First News of Controversy From
the Former Chief Forester.

Pinchot has gone to meet Roosevelt,
however
1t is evident that Roosevelt will
receive from Pinchot the first di-
rect information regarding the for
estry controversy. Senator Root re-
fused to confirm the report that he
had written to Roosevelt at Khar-
toum regarding the forestry investi-
cation in which he was one of the
committee. If this were true it
might afford partial reason for
the supposed cablegram to Pin
chot. Pinchot's friends say he
would not quit the investigation to
seek an unlimited interview with
the eX-president. Others claim that
Roosevelt is too good a politician to
extend such an investigation before
comforting with Taft.
