According to Colonel Andrew
Cory, there is but little in the
government mail service other
than glory. He says it costs
him at least 1907 each month for
the actual expense of operation,
divided as follows: drivers $110;
halfway station $57; Lund sta
tion $40; grain $50; hay $50;
wear and tear, shoeing. etc. $50.
For this outlay, and his own
time, he is paid $165 monthly by
Uncle Sam, or $42 less than the
actual expense.

CHANGE FACILITATES
HOMESTEAD ENTRIES

For the last year or more pub
lie lands in the Western States
have been tvT&gnated by the
Secretary of the Interior as
subject to entry under the en-
arged-homestead act, only on
petition of those who desire to
avail themselves of the provis-
ions of the law. This procedure
was an outgrowth of the desire
of the Department to designate
no lands which were not actually
enterable under the law in ques-
ton. In order to accomplish
this end the status of each
tract had to be investigated to
determine whether it was al
ready entered. was a school Sec
ton, was involved in a State
selection. or for any other
reason had been taken out of the
class of "unappropriated" pub
lie lands which alone are enter
able under this act. This search
meant that with the meager
force available to the Depart
ment only slow progress could
be made in the designation OF
lands for entry under this law.
Soon after the passage of the
act lands had been designated
for entry under it in a body
without regard to their status,
the only question determined
by the Department prior to des-
ignation being that the lands
were surveyed, unreserved, ano
, nonirrigable. Under this mode
of procedure designations can
be made with comparative rapid
ity, the availability of the lands
for entry being determined by
J the applicant when he visits the
local land office to file upon his
> claim. After the abandonment
! of this early procedure the law
: was extended to apply to NORTH
, Dakota. The rule of designa
ton by petition has been fol
lowed in that State, and the re
sulting delays have proved EN-
Darrassing both to the Depart
: ment and to the citizens O.

court. By vigorously opposing such &C.

to carry out the policy Of properly pro-

not only took the opposite view, but

been a veritable calamity.

The BallinEer Case.
Perhaps the sharp difference between
what may be called the LIncoln-Jackson
and the Buchanan-Taft schools, in their
views OF the power and duties OF the
President, may be best illustrated by
comparing the attitude Of my successor
toward his Secretary Of the Interior. Mr.
Ballinger, when the latter was accused
OF gross misconduct in office. with my
attitude towards my chiefs Of depart
ment and other subordinate officers
More than once while I was President
my officials were attacked by Congress,
generally because these officials did their
duty well and fearlessly. In every such
case 1 stood by the Official and refused
to recognize the right of Congress to in
terfere with me. excepting by impeach-
ment or in other Constitutional manner.
On the other hand, wherever I found
the officer unfit for his position prompt

influential men in Congress fought for
his retention.

should be able to form his own judy
