LIBERALITY
OF LAND LAWS

The following article will be most
welcome news to great many home.
steaders who have resided on their
claims the required three years. as
they can now prove up, their time of
residence being included in this act.
Washington, March 27.-An i'm
portant step towards liberalizinQ the
land laws was taken today when the
house by a unanimous vote passed
the three-year homestead act. Diff
ferences between the senate and
house measures will be adjusted by a
conference committee consisting of
Senators Newlands, Smoot and Jones
and Representatives Taylor, Ferris
and Mondell.
When the conference report is &C.
cepted, President Taft will sign the
bill.
The proposed new law reduces the
homestead period from five to three
years; gives homesteaders five
months leave of absence each year.
and six months in which to establish
residence to the eEtryman making
the original filing. Heirs of deceased
entrymen are relieved from residence
on the entry upon showing entryman
had complied with the law to the
time of his death.
Before the bill passed, the house
rejected amendments proposed by
the Pinchotites, reserving minerals,
water power sites and timber on
homestead entries to the government.
The passage Of the bill was aided
by President Taft's personal appeals
to the Republican house leaders, and
by Speaker Clark's efforts with the
democrats.

IL IS BY no means surprising that so
Little is known OF the Emperor of Japan,
popularity miscalled in this country the
mikado. the news of whose death at Toxic
has just come. 1t was only a little
more than half a century ago that Japan
was opened TO foreign inspection and be-
came junior member Of the family OF
nations. Indeed, real familiarity or
better 10 say, acquaintance with the jap
anese dates from the war with China
in 1884. when il was demonstrated that
the little brown man possessed a fight
ing capacity worthy of western recogni-
ton and respect The war with Russia,
however, proved an eye-opener to the
world, and gave Japan a remarkable
prestige which has caused a most i'm

just what protection Is and how 1t should
be applied to presest conditions. and what
a tariff for revenue only is and what the
adoption of that policy would do to and
for US as a people.
In fact Mr. Roosevelt has already ex-
pressed himself in general terms as to
the tariff plank OF the Baltimore platform.
AS he reads that. IL is a menace to our
industries and IL put into operation would
make all the panics in our past history
seem like child's play in comparison. 1t
would work nationwide ruin And SO
he asks. Will Mr. Wilson indorse it, evade
It, repudiate it?
The clearer Mr. Roosevelt makes him.
self and the stronger his plea for protec-
ton. the greater will be the regret at his
standpattedness while President. Why
did he not move for tariff revision then?
Why did he permit Mr. Aldrich to stay
his hand? Why did he not present the
question to Congress and ask for re-
vision of the Dingley law? Had he done
so. the present woes of the republican
party-the organization to which as
politician he owes everythng-would never
have come into existence.
Mr. Mckinley had shown the way. In
his last speech. denVereo AT buldio' ho
had pointed out the necessity or tarln
revision: and upon taking office MT
Roosevelt had but TO quote that speech in
a message to Congress to secure the
needful tariff legislation. But he turned
to other things, let the tariff go hang,
and after seven years bequeathed to his
successor the most complicated tarin
problem the country has ever known.
Standpatter? His name is Roosevelt.
He is the father of the tribe.

"Stolen" Delegates.
the New York World

From the New York World.
BY publishing a summary of the evil
dence in the contests before the Chicago
convention the Taft people furnish con-
vincing answer to Mr.. Roosevelts charge
that he was deprived of the republican
nomination by theft The facts are
against him, but he is not making his
campaign on facts. The third-term can
didate has SO often and so violently ac-
cused his opponents of dishonesty as to
arouse sympathy for himself as the inno-
cent victim of barefaced frauds. In a
recent article in the Outlook on the Chi
cago convention Mr. Roosevelt used the
words fraud" theft" dishonesty" and
stealing over fifty times in describing
the action of the majority. His methods
have been shrewdly calculated to preju-
dice the public mind against Mr.. Taft,
and to some extent they have produced
the effect intended. But he does not pre-
sent proofs. No statement of the evidence
on which he bases his sweeping charges
has appeared in print.

The Contests at Chicago.

The contests at Chicago is supported by
pamphlet giving full details. The appeal
+ 10 the record which was regularly
made Mr.. Tafts friends do not rest
their case on mere denial of Mr.. Roose-
velts charge, but on facts which they
specify.
And the facts are OF two kinds. One
kind relates to the disposition of the con-
tests. and the other kind relates to the
character OF the contests That the
Roosevelt people sought to carry the day

Roosevelt side. In an unguarded mo-
ment. Roosevelt supporter representing

explained the why's and wherefores of its
connection. \ psychologist" revealed to
an artless public just how 'psychol-
ogy'' may he applied to politics and pro-
duce psychological effects.
For reply Mr.. Roosevelt simply repeats
his charge, Virtuously and, vociferously.
he declares again. for the 'steenth time,
that he was robbed The man who had
declared that the horse was sixteen feet
high came forward when cornered with
his affidavit. Unwilling to retract, he
plunged the deeper into falsehood.
The fake contests in the south were in
stituted TO affect the situation in the
north and in the middle states. where Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft were then contend
ing and they did affect it in MIR. Roose-
velts favor. But while with the aid of the
fakes Mr.. Roosevelt bested Mr. Taft in
Pennsylvania, Illinois. New Jersey and
Maryland. his vote in the primary in no
one of these states was much over one
third OF the normal republican strength.
Even with the fakes to help, his candi-
dacy did not stir his party profoundly.
1t will be interesting to note the effect
of his exposure on the general situation.
Mr.. Roosevelt will continue in raucous
tones TO put his case in three wordS-"I
was robbed" The Taft case rests upon a
volume OF one hundred and forty-four
printed pages, entirely convincing to those
who want the truth and have the time
10 seek il. Will the three-word assertion,
repeated over and over again by man
familiar with the lingo of objurgation
and artist in its use. weigh against an
elaborate statement of the truth as -ascer-
tanned by competent and most respect
able tribunal?
The fake contests. which failed, have
been succeeded by falsehood, which
should fail 1t cannot carry Mr. Roose-
hope 10 make it All asset for Mr.. Wilson.
