|H0MESTEADER WILL
Be GIVEN A CHANCE
Secretary Of Interior Fisher
Abolishes Reports by Secret
Land Agents

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 13-
sued an order practically eliminating
the special agents report as a fac
tor In determining the equities Of
public land entrymen, and the action
marks another important step away
from bureaucratic methods so severe
ly criticised since the first Roosevelt
administration.
Land cases coming on appeal to
the secretary are always accompan-
led by report Of the special agent
of the government. This report is
supposed to be for the private infor-
nation of the government, and
neither the entrymen nor his attor-
ney are ever allowed to see these
reports. 1t is frequently charged
that this special agents report re-
ally forms the basis Of opinion for a
large number of cases decided adj
versely. and as there has been ne
opportunity given to answer its
charges, the report has been severe
ly condemned by entrymen and at
torneys generally.
Entryman Gets Chance

be permitted to- see the special
agents report in considering cases
assigned to them for review. AS
these reports are always adverse 10
the entryman, who never has an op-
portunity to answer the charges they
contain, the secretary holds that such
testimony should not be taken in
considering the equities of an entry
man. h
Land attorneys practicing before
the Interior Department here predict
that this order will reduce in large
measure the number of adverse ru.-
ings and place the entryman who ap-
peals on much more favorable
footing in prosecuting his case.

Drinking and Smoking

Reformers will be either dismayed
or moved to redoubled efforts by the
report that in the last fiscal year this
nation used more strong drink and to-
bacco than ever before. Particularly
notable, perhaps, is the immense in
crease in production and consumption
of. cigarettes, for which the treasury
officials cannot account. 1t will. IN
deed. be difficult to explain 1t in view
of the fact that states in increasing
numbers are now forbidding the use OF
cigarettes by boys. However, it may
be said that in Great Britain and in
most European countries the use Of to-
bacco for smoking is steadily increas-
ing. In Great Britain the amount OF
it consumed has increased one-third
in ten years.
In drinking the tendency is not so
uniform. In the Upited Kingdom
there has been and is 4 very rapid de-
cline in the consumption of both
brewed and distilled liquors. AS
against the one-third increase in to-
bacco in 10 years, there was in the
same years decrease of nearly IS
per cent in the consumption of brewed
distilled liquors. But the United
States is both smoking and drinking
more than ever. The production Of
beer was nearly twice what 1t was in
Great Britain and so per cent more
than in Germany-in which country,
however, the. quantity is steadily in
|creasing. The. production of distilled
spirits here last year was more than
four times as great as III the United
Kingdom ~
So immense a consumption of these
articles in this country must have an
|unfavorable effect on social economics.
The cost of nearly 1880, 900 ciga-
rets, not to name also cigars, of 1884,
100000 gallons of spirits and of more
than 62,0o0,o00 barrels of beer was
obviously enormous 1t brought no
commensurate compensatory advant-
ages. and it was largel Y paid by those
who could III afford to spend the
money The country would be better
off if each year showed a marked de-
crease in all of these fgures-New

CALIFoRNIA is UNAFRAID

Many times in these columns it has
been necessary to point to California
to show the results of thorough or
ganization in handling and marketing
fruit. California has perfected Il
system of cooperative marketing anu
the results are not only encouraging
as far as they effect the present bear
ing acreage, but they form basis
for encouraging the increase and de-
yelopment of the fruit industry in
that state. There is no hesitancy on
the part of capital in undertaking
new ventures with an idea of large
ly increasing the acreage of fruit. The
reason is that California has solved
the marketing problem.
A recent editorial from the Sac
ramento Union says this of the fruit
situation: 1.-The way in which the
east is taking care of the tremendous
fruit shipments from California, ac-
cepting hundreds of carloads daily, is
evidence that the fear that, when the
new orchards came into bearing, the
market would be overstocked. was
groundless. The east is becoming
frutarian as rapidly as the market
can be supplied. What was at one
time a table delicacy, is now recog-
nized as staple food, nourishing and
refreshing.
mot only are fresh fruits sought
in the markets, but dried and evap-
grated fruits are freely used when
the others are not obtainable. It Is
estimated that the present fruit pro-
duction In the, United States could
easily be quadrupled without the
product becoming drug on the
market There should be no hesi-
fancy in breaking ne& ground and,
setting out both dptiduous and cit
rus fruit trees. fet prices will remain
profitable aftsS orchards yet unset
have come <fnto full bearing"
This testimony comes from the
hearx of the California fruit belt
wAere years ago the problems Of
profitable marketing were as grave as
they are here at the present time
and where the pessimists were pre-
dieting all kinds of dire results as the
result of over production. But the
clouds cleared away when the mar
keting plans were perfected and
when the driers came and the can
neries were constructed to take care
Of the surplus crops and to eliminate
the waste that was enormous.
The whole problem is one that can
be. worked out, as the California ex'
perience shows, and there will be no
need to talk about cutting out trees
and reducing the available acreage
that might be devoted to the fruit
growing industry. What California
has done, Washington can do, and
every available acre will some day
be utilized to meet the demand tina,
Is developing.

Roosevelt told his ogden audience

Roosevelt told his ogden audience
that a pledge to Taft was not bind
ing. His failure to convince delegates
to the republican national convention
of this fact is the reason that we have
third party today. He tried to Sc
cure the nomination by means OF
convincing delegates that pledges to
Taft were not binding and in states
where he is trying to take over the
republican party and place his cleo
tors at the head of the republican
ticket he is preaching the same doc
trine. Pledges do not amount to any,
thing unless they are made to Roose-
welt when they are considered to be
more binding than the laws of the
Modes and Persians.

Following the results of the two
state elections and several state pr-
maries, the vim and vigor of the
democratic national campaign seems
to have died away. Associated Press
reports that carry news of develop
ments to the people of the nation
have very little to say of the activity
of the democratic leaders. A recent
conference in the east developed the
fact that the leaders felt the cam
paign was falling fiat. The national
candidate that was going to have the
world beating a path to his front
door as Seagirt, has found 1t neces-
sary to use the lawn mower to keep
down the grass, while he is seeking
to strike Are following the crowds to

Diagnosing a Look

A banker in Central Kentucky was
in the habit of wearing his hat good
deal during the business hours, as in
summer the flies used his bald pate
for parade ground and in winter
the cold breezes swept over its pol
ished surface. A negro workman on
the railroad each week presented a
check and drew his wages, and one
day, as he put his money in a greasy
wallet, the banker said
Look here, Nose, why don't you
let some of that money stay in the
bank and keep an account with us?"
The darkey leaned toward him, and
with a quizzical look at the derby the
banker wore. answered confidentially.
Boss, Use jes' afeared. You look
like you was always ready to start
somewheres."

WASHINGTON A REPUBLICAN,

The primaries recently held not
only determined the state and coun-
ty tickets for the several parties. but
they further demonstrated the fact
that the state Of Washington is safe
ly republican and that its vote in the
electoral college is to be for Taft and
not for Wilson or for Roosevelt. For
several months the nation at large
has been told of the wave of Roose-
veltism that had swept over this
state, and the eastern politician has
put Washington unhesitatingly in the
Roosevelt column.
The soapbox primary that preceded
the republican national convention
was made the basis of contest OIL
which Roosevelt and the progressive
leaders claimed the state with go per
cent of the republican votes" The
stealing of the Washington delega-
ton" was declared to be the most
fragrant of the many alleged steals
made by the republican national COM
mittee.
The leaders probably believed this
way persuaded, and it is not until the
actual count of the recent primaries
that the real truth of the matter eau
be demonstrated. The progressives
who boosted that they had control uf
the party in the state were shown
their weakness at second soapbox
primary held September 7. In con-
trast with the strength of the repub-
lican party as shown in the regular
state primaries held September 10 the
progressive party is negligible party
as far as control in the state Is con-
several counties the progressives
made a good showing, but in the state
as whole they have shown decid-
ed weakness.
On the other hand the democratic
primaries indicate no gains for that
party in the state and nothing that
can be used as a basis for hope that
the democrats can carry the state
for Wilson in November or that they
can defeat the republican state ticket.
Taft in 1908 carried the state, of
Washington by a plurality of 47,371
votes. Two years later, Cosgrove, the
republican nominee for governor
carried the state by $4,000 plurality.
The state is largely republican ana
the issues upon which the present
campaign is to be fought are issues
upon which the republican party Of
fers more to the citizens of the state
of Washington than is offered by the
democratic party. There is no reason
for any decided change and there is
no indication Of it in the primary just
held, but every indication that the
voters OF the state will change their
allegiance from the republican party
to the democratic party especially up
on issues that have been passed upon
many times.
