The Land Commissioner.


he throws bouquets at the Wins
low Mail for being fearless and
honest newspaper, but when he
insists that Honest " Billy
Mouer, the land commissioner, is
a just and honest public official
we must insist on being shown
some corroborating evidence.
When the Land Steal Bill was
before the cattlemen's associa-
tion last fall, Mr.. Mouer was call
ed on for an expression of his at
titude, and he wrote them a let
ter stating he was in favor of the
bill, but it was not positive enough
to suit the cattle baroDs, and
they insisted he appear person
ally and make his position known.
Honest" Billy had probably got
out of town, and in haste his
deputy, Honest Ben Clark,
hustled over to the convention to
do the explaining for his superior,
assuring the cattlemen positively
that Mr.. Mouer was strongly in
favor of the land bill in every
particular. At that time Hon
est" Billy was thinking of being
candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination on the democratic
ticket.
Then getting to the question of
how just and honest Mouer ad-
ministers his office for the bene-
fit of the little fellows let us. take
one incident that has personally
come under our notice. One of
our little stock outfits is Greaves
& Dye, both old-time residents
of this county and city. They
own three or four sections of
land, and for four years have
been trying to lease different
other sections of land belonging
to the state. They would locate
a section that was not leased and
make application, and after hold
ing up the application for several
months, the land office would no.
tify them that section had been
leased. They have made numef-
Gus applications during the past
four years for land leases and
have always been turned down
after few months with the rub
Der stamp endorsement that the
section had been leased, Is it
not remarkable that state land
would lie idle for several years,
and when Greaves & Dye made
application instead of getting a
lease at once the matter was held
up for a few months, and then
the lease was made out to some
one else, and fell under the con-
troll at once of one of the big cat
tie barons?
Then there is another remark
able case of the just ,and honest
administration of the land COM
missioner's office which we hap
pened to be very familiar with
because the editor was associated
with Mr.. E. Leonard at the time
aad carried on all the correspond
ence, and conducted the personal
interviews. Mr., Leonard is we'll
known here as one of the oldest
engineers in the employ of the
Santa Fe. In July, 1916, Mr..
Leonard and the editor made ap-
plication for a section each, and
a dozen or more letters passed in
an effort to get some action, and
several personal interviews were
had with both Mouer and Clark,
at each of which they agreed to
attend to the matter at once.
The last interview was in No
vember Of last year with Mr..
Mouer, and then we were shown
a record that the land wanted by
Mr.. Leonard had been leased to
a man who never lived in this
community and probably never
saw the land. Mr.. Leonard dug

at each of which they agreed to
attend to the matter at once.
The last interview was in No
vember Of last year with Mr..
Mouer, and then we were shown
a record that the land wanted by
Mr.. Leonard had been leased to
a man who never lived in this
community and probably never
saw the land. Mr.. Leonard dug
up nine hard simoleons to the
land office, tor which we hold
the cancelled checks, and was
not even notified to appear and
show cause why he should have
preference for the lease before
it was issued to another party.
The editor was never much IN
terested in his personal applica-
ton, because we told Mr.. Leon
ard at the time that our applica-
tion would receive scant courtesy
because we were a republican;
but it appears a democrat re-
ceives the same consideration as
a republican, unless he stands in
with the administration.
We mention these two incidents

PROHIBITION OVER SEAS.

Who can now say that British peo-
pie have no sense of humor?
Did not the bright young men of
English colleges ride Johnson, an
American speaker. on a plank" as
they call it over there along the prin-
cipal street of London for one mile,
while the multitude and the police
hee-hawed? johnson is a leading
spirit in a worldwide movement to
secure prohibition legislation. He has
been one of the most effective advo-

try, where many years ago such eff

might as we'll have its laugh now, and
think soberly later. For even Scot
land, land of the stuff that bred the
kicking high ball, which rolled many
a man to hell, is coming to count the
cost and this month votes upon pro-
posals ranging from prohibition,
through regulation. to maintenance of
the present system. 1t furnishes the
first test of dry sentiment in Great
Britain.
Announcem ent that a Norwegian
ballot was won by the drys indicates
that John Barleycorn has lost the
first important round of his battle for
self-preservation in the old world
Whether the Norwegian decision
may be taken as marking a turn of
the tide in favor of prohibition. it is
not safe to surmise. Certain it is,
however that Great Britain, which
laughs at the advent of American az
itators, will soon lend more receptive
audiences

War Press Bureaus Work.
Communications between G. II. O.
and the newspapers went through the
war press bureau. This was formed
in October. 1915, out of various de-
partments that had been established
in the acting general staff at the be-
ginning of the war. whose duties were
to read the home and foreign press
and to act as censors. In the year
1917 the function was added of at
tending to patriotic education.
The most important civil depart
ments of the empire and Prussia had
liaison sections at the war press bu-
reau, and by the side of it stood the
press department of the naval staff.
The war press bureau has always
worked in the closest cooperation
with these departments,
The war press bureau, in accord
ance with its instructions, has always
refrained from exercising any political
influence on the German press. All
statements to the contrary are false,
as are the suggestions that it acted
as sort of separate political agent
for CHIC.
Resents Attack on Bureau.
The Importance of the war press
bureau lay in its rigid organization
in its personnel of its co-operators, and
in the lack of any unified imperial or
ganiZation. The press was conscious
of this Its discomfort was not so
much directed against the war press
bureau as against all the various press
offices, which had no proper organi-
cation or control.
The majority of the unJustified at
lacks made upon this bureau in the
reichstag were almost all due to igno-
rance of the exact scope of its func-
tons. They merely show how impos-
sble 1t was for G.H.Q., with the avail
able means, to achieve any improve
ment in morale. The war press bu-
reau was there, and people could
form unfavorable judgments upon it,
but they did not inquire into causes
and assist me to get q large imperial
bureau.
The discussions that took place
twice weekly with the members of the
Berlin press and the provincial press
represented in Berlin, at which, in
addition to representatives of the war
press bureau, there were also present
members from the naw.l staff and
from all the imperial offices. were
only of assistance to a section, of the
press. Speeches were accordingly
given from time to time by officials
of the imperial offices to representa-
tives of the provincial press in differ
ent parts of the country.

Staring fixedly at a woman may be
sign of love at first sight, but is
more often short sight.
Does the telephone make more ali
bis than it destroys-or vice versa?
In any love affair first kisses are
foretaste. then come those too good
to waste, then the last-taken in
haste.
The woman a man persists in re-
membering always is the one he ought
to forget.
The saving grace of modern life is
flippancy.

girls thoughts, fancies and preoccu-
pations about men.

the Germans did not reply to it it was
