Washington, Jan. 17.-The interior
department and the forestry service
were attacked in debate in the SEN
ate today by senator Borah of Idaho
who advocated a general remodelliiG
and liberalizing of the homestead land
laws
Mr.. Borah suggested reducing from
five to three years the time after en-
tering and before proving up that set
tiers should be allowed to leave their
homestsads to earn a living while
complying with the law as to resi-
dence.
Mr.. Borah urged that title should
be given as soon as the applicant
made proof He said there was fire.

years in getting title to homesteads

Admitting some of the charges
against the administration, Mr.. Boran
still contended that much responsible

GOVERNOR HARMON
TALKS POLITICS
At FARGO
Tells His Auditors Why Demo-
Gratis Should Win This Year
and Accuses Republicans of
Gross Extravaganza.


IBy Morning Journal Special Ieayed Wire.1
Fargo, \. D., Jan.-Abandonin his
set speech on tax reform. Governor
Judson Harmon of ohio, who was the
guest of honor of the Northwestern
democrats IN conference here tonight
talked democratic politics. telling his
audience his reasons why he thought
the democrats could win in the com
ing campaign, He reirained however
from making any reference to his
own presidential candidacy.
Governor Harmon criticized Presi-
dent Taft and the republican congress
for what they had done vita the ta-
riff and accused the republicans of
gross extravaganza.
In beginning his address by refer
ring to the badges worn by the North
western democrats with the words
"Get together he said:
Get together in such way as to
attract those affiliated with other
parties but who believe as we do"
Governor Harmon said the demo-
Gratis had lahored under handicap
which caused them many defeats in
the past. First, there was the senti-
ment against them during the civil
war: next the republican press and
orators with great ability made the
people believe that democratic VIC
tory means hard times.
Even President Tart had made the
statement that the hard times which
began in 1892 and which reached
their worst in 1898, We're caused by
the Wilson bill which was passed I'm
1894" he said.
THE truth of the matter is the
worst tariff bill ever passed was the
Mckinley bill, passed in 1890, and
don't know why they did not say il
caused the hard times except that
they wanted to load il on the demo-
Gratis. The Dinglev bill passed in
1897, was worse yet but within ten
years from its passage at time when
there was not even democratic jan
itor in Washington, we had another
hard panic"
Governor Harmon left Immediately
after the speech TOR Columbus and
the banquet planned for him by the
North Dakota Ohio club was can
celled.

FOR PURCHASE
OF MONTICELLO
Senator MARITIME Sees Little
Signs of Adjournment.
From the NEWS Correspondent

Washington, June 5:-Further
action along the line of Senator
Marines resolution looking toward
the purchase of Monticello by the
government will be taken on July 2,
when the Senate Committee on Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds, of which
Senator MARITIME is a member, will
hold a hearing. The senator has
taken every opportunity to urge the
justice of preserving to posterity, as
a memorial of Thomas jefferson,
the mansion now in the possession
Of Congressman Levy, of New York.
Mrs. Littleton, wife OF the New York
congressman, is also working hard
along the same line.
Guess at Adjournment.
Guesses are still being INDUCED
in as to the probable time Of ad-
journment. Senator MARITIME, Just
before leaving for Trenton to meet
with the Woodrow Wilson delegates
just elected from New Jersey, said
that no one could tell anything
about It. One Of the New Jersey
congressman expressed the opinion
that with the exception of a short
vacation the latter part of the pres
CHI IioilLh ~ SlNS hltllDtlS Vi iOl-
gress an opportunity to attend the
conventions, there would be no
break in the work of congress until
late in the summer. Members of
both Houses are anxious to get
away, and remembrance of last sum
mer's hot session inspires the hope
that it may be possible to devise
some means Of finishing the work
early. but it is generally admitted
that there is little upon which to
base such a hope. Senator Smoot.
one of the Republican leaders, has
guessed that final adjournment will
come probably in July" while Sen
ator Culberson. a Democrat, thinks
that August Is more likely. Senator
Briggs is confident that adjourn
ment before the conventions is an
impossibility and he doesn't care to
predict what will happen after that.
Titanic Expenses.
Vouchers have now been made by
the Committee on Audit and Control
of the Contigent Expenses of the
Senate, covering the Titanic ~investi-
cation, the amount being 5000.
About one-half of this is for the ex-
pense Of the hearings and the rest
for witnesses fees. etc. J. Bruce
Ismay's voucher was for $3.50.
