70 PROTECT THE DEPOSIToK.

4 good deal Of complaint has been
made against the Postofflce Depart
ment for allowing the L. s. Postal
bonds 10 fall ~. per cent below par and
sell at 92Ia cents on the dollar on ''the
street. Iuasmuch rs there was such
n small amount of these bonds afloat,
only $4l 800 thus far issued, on July
lst last, If would seem as though there
ought to have been no difficulty in re
tanning those bonds al par, Postmaster
General Hitchcock has now made
move that, it is hoped, will remedy
the trouble, 1t was an exceedingly
bad showing TO have the Government
2Io per cent bonds fall TO such low
figure. especially as there was so small
an issue of them, and considering that
the ease with which they could have
been kept at par was so apparent. 1t
seems. however, that no one had any
idea that there could be such "a fall in
these bonds. aud the announcement of
the quotation was the first intimation
which the Postal Department had that
any effort was being made TO deprc5s
the price. Prompt steps were taken to
meet the situation, and Postmaster Gen.
cral Hitchcock has announced that the
postal dcpositors can always get tho
face value Of their bonds from the de.
partment. That is, any one not con
tent with the change Of deposit to these
bonds can surrender the bonds and
tho
before.
This is doing the fair thing with the
depositors, although they may, IN the
meantime. lose small fraction of their
interest account. But, by this means,
the Postal Department will show its
good faith, and the announcement OF
the redemption of those bonds at par
at the demand Of the depositors, with
the restoration Of the deposit account

DISASTROUS CONSERVATION.

The showing made in our special
from Boise yesterday morning, includ-
ing map Of Idaho, exhibits al a
glance the disastrous and alyzinS
nature of conservation policies run
mad. 1t ia shown in that map that
less than one-half of the land of Idaho
is open to public occupancy. The rest
of 1T, including practically all of the
untaken lands, is withdrawn from
entry on various pretcXts; forest re-
serves, coal lands. power sites, and all
the various preteXts that are used IN
the conservation lingo The strip along
the lower Snake river valley, with.
drawn ostensibly for coal purposes,
comprises large proportion Of the
best agricultural lands in the State yet
untaken, and there is no evidence that
there is any coal at all in that. land.
Senator Borah, at the recent visit of
Secretary Fisher to Boise, pointed out
with respect to this particular reserva-
ton, that the people were being de
frauded by the withdrawal of that
land from agricultural takiugs, and
the State was being seriously injured
through that policy. He stated that
there was no evidence of any coal be-
ing actually found upon that land, aud
be demanded that the agricultural
lands be released for tho taking of
actual settlers and colonists. Secretary
Fisher admitted the injustice of taking
this land without due cause shown, and
promised to give tho subject his atten'
tion as soon as he got settled to busi-
ness i'll his hearquarters at Washing
ton. Nothing has come Of it so far,
however. and Idaho still remains with
more than half OF her area withdrawn
from occupancy or development, and as
to good deal Of this the Withdrawals
are on totally false pretenses.
The same condition prevails in Ore
Con, where more than half the area Of
the State is withdrawn by Congress
from settlement or occupancy on
various pretexts, postroad and rail
road grants being largely responsible
for tht original Withdrawals. But TO
these has recently been added with
drawal Of immense areas on account OF
forestry and water power reserves.
Utah is in the same boat, much Of
her best and most available lands be-
ing withdrawn from entry or occu
pancy on the various reserve pretenses
named.
IT is a shameful showing; 1T is 3
showing of the holduD by Government
officials against Idaho, Oregon, Utah
and other States. and all to no pur
pose whatever so far as the public ad
vantage is concerned, but, on the
contrary, very much against the public
interests and going to the fostering OF
monopolies, combines, and the enrich
ment of those who already have OBJ
tanned under former conditions the
title to coal and other lands which
make them now masters of the situa
tlon

GERMAN EXPANSION.

4 dispatch from London IN yester-
day mornings Tribune indicates that
Europe has had an extremely narrow
escape from general war over Mo-
rocco. The precipitate and rash action
of the German government in sending
n warship to Agadir stirred European
sentiment as it has seldom been stirred.
The immediate occasion of sending that
warship was the refusal Of France TO
heed the warnings of Germany with
regard TO the French expedition to Fez
for the relief of the French legation
northern capital Of Morocco. Germany
warned France that the expedition
should avoid entering Fez for, If 1T did,
very serious consequences would en-
sue France disregarded the warning,
entered Fez as, in fact, it necessarily
had to do, and thereupon the explosion
came.
1t appears that in the subsequent
negotiations the German mind has been
less irritated against France than
against Great Britain, this because, con-
trary TO expectations, it was found
that Great Britain was prepared to
stand soIidly and firmly by France in
whatever might transpire with respect
to the German claims and their settle
ment. Accordingly, the German resent.
ment towards England upon finding
that Germany was helpless In any com
plication that would oblige her TO fight
France and Great Britain united, sought
some means of getting revenge on Great
Britain aud maintaining the German
prestige, which the Germans them.
selves. believe has bcen sadly shaken by
The French agreement which gives Ger.
many some French territory in Africa
i'm the hinterland Of the German Kan
eruns.
The announcement that Germany has
effected this purpose by negotiations
with Spain must be, rude reminder TO
Great Britain that the astuteness OF
German diplomacy has not failed IN
this crisis. Germany, il is reported
has acquired Spanish Guinea and the
Spanish islands off the Guinea coast
If this rumor should prove true. Great
Britain will be the one humiliatcd IN

sufferer in prestige while she was the
spectacular aggressor; but, If Germany
can establish herself firmly on the
west coast of Africa, directly in Tho

cation between home ports and Cape
Town, that would be thorn In the

THE RIGHT OF COMMENT.

The Supreme Court of tho State Of
Missouri has recently rendered
straightforward, commonsense opinion
on the matter of tho liberty of news
papers to comment upon matters OF
public moment, even though officials
may consider themselves injured BY
sucn comment a st. Louis paper
commented cdtorialIy on bank
failure, and criticized the Secretary Of
State for his delay in closing the bank
when 1T was already lnsolvent, and, as
the paper claimed, WAS known to he
SO by the Secretary of State The Sec.
retary sued the paper for libel, and
the case proceeded through the various
hearings until it reached tho Supreme
Court Of the State. That court reversed
the Judgment of the lower court,
which held against the newspaper, and
restated the old doctrine of freedom Of
tho discussion in the following we'll
chosen words:
The legal propositions that a newspaper
mas the right fairly and honestly To COM
inent upon a matter of public interest
and that the official conduct Of "a publit,
well settled,
The people are not obliged to speak Of
the conduct OF their officials in whispers
or In bated breath In a free government,
ouL only In a despotism,
There can be no doubt but that this
is not only the true principle Of law,
but is the only fair principle that can
possibly be adopted in this country.
For, If newspaper is not allowed to
express its opinion as to the derelc-
tlons, either supposed or actual, of
public officials, then the public has no
protection against dishonest official.
DOM No honest newspaper wishes
unlustly to assall any public official

of his public duties, but the right 10

SEEING THE LIGHT.

1T has been well said that for twenty
years the Sherman antitrust law has
been "the great puzzle OF the statute
books. ;" 1t has been so in truth. So
much Of puzzle did it appear that the
legal authorities were. for great many
years, 10th to do anything with the
law. For the most of the time since
its passage it Law upon the statute
books unregardcd aud idle. President
Cleveland did nothing with it: Presi.
dent Mckinley did nothing with it;
President Roosevelt was reluctant 10
begin prosecution under it, and did so
only at the last in apparently sheer
vindictiyeness against certain of the
Hbad trusts' that he could not bring
to terms otherwise; and the Taft ad-
ministration has been the heritor of
those suits.
The triumph of the government in
all of them has been complete so far
as the law is concerned The practical
effect Of the government triumphs,
however. has not been particularly
striking, this because of the impossible
ity Of attacking aud confiscating prop.
erty rights. The combinations affected
have devoted their attention TO the
point of how best to evade the law,
and the courts have been much puzzled
how TO construe ii and see the light
beyond the mist. This light has now
appeared through the decisions of
the L. S. Supreme Court in the Stan.
dard Oil case, and the case of the To-
bacco Trust. Other suits that are pend.
ing will probably throw still further
light upon the law.
The criminal side of the law has vet
been practically untouched. 1t is be-
ing partly tested in the meat packers
case. and the first victory has been won
by the government i'll the quashlng of
the habeas corpus proceedings instituted
by the packers upon their arrest The
courts held that the arrest is by due
process Of law, and the accused arc re-
manded for the further procedure oil
the courts under the law and under
the indictment. This case is now be-
| fore the l.. 5. Supreme Court on an
application for stay of proceedings.
This being the case. aud the courts
being now diligently engaged in find
ing out precisely what the auti-tr
| law means. and how it can be practi.
cally applied, the unwisdom of seeking
| amendments to this law by making il
more drastic and more far.reachlng, is
evident. President Taft. it is true,
agrees that the law shonld be amended,
but not on any principle Of its vital
effects or scope, but only in the manner
| of procedure so that the courts can
move readily, certainly, and quickly get
| at their determination of a given
| case.
The law as it is should clearly be al
lowed to remain without modification
or change in. its essentials and basis
until the courts get through with it,
and VIC find Just whore we are al un-
der its provisions If the final results
are unsatisfactory, il will then be time
enough to invoke material changes that
may be found necessary; but until that
| time comes, 1t is clearly the part OF Wis
dom 10 allow the law to stand precisely
as il is.
