WHAT is the use of having game and
forest wardens when these very officials
are violating the laws they are supposed
to bec enforcing? The writer has re
cently returned from the mountains, and
while there found this to be a fact.
Ore liberty-loving republican who
takes the Courier-Herald says that he
has had as many as 12 persons borrow
his paper in one week. We believe that
each copy of this paper is read by two or
more persons on an average; making
5000 or more readers a week a fact that
advertisers appreciate. ; ,. i i.

The Courieb-Herald has the largest
circulation of any country weekly in the
Itate, and cites as a proof that it uses
more paper in printing its edition than
any other. The leport of the traveling
paper salesman bears us out in this
statement. Any way, its list is con
stantly growing, which shows that the
people like a free and outspoken news-
paper. Even the republicans wno are
fearful of and wanted to boycot it borrow

John P. Altokld wrote to the New
York Journal on August 16th and said
that Bryan was all right. But he scores
the great goldbug dailies, and said that
for several years the newspapers of the
country have been deliberately, sys
tematically and persistently misrepre;
senting the facts about the prominent
silver men of the country" and that it
was "contemptible business." It will
be remembered that Altgeld was quoted
as weakening on the ratio of 16 to 1.

Aside from the case of Captain Carter
the president has promptly approved
the sentence, without referring it either
to an eminent private lawyer or to his
attorney-general. Appeals for mercy and
mitigation were sternly denied.
One case involved the borrowing of
$300 by a second lieutenant on false pre'
tenses. The other involved the squan
derine of $1600 of public funds by an
other lieutenant. In both cases the of
fenders were sentenced to dismissal
from the army. And in both cases the
sentence was approved by the president
and promptly executed.
Captain Carter was convicted by the
unanimous verdict of fourteen army oth
cers of embezzling $1,600,000 just one
thousand times as much as the defalca
tion of the lieutenant without a "pull."
Mr. McKinley sent the Carter case for
"review" first to Judge Edmunds and
then to Attorney-General Griggs, who is
now playing golf over it.
And sentence has now been suspended
for a period of one year, three months
and ten days.
Moral for army officers: Steal by
wholesale and get a strong "pull" for
your protection.

Whkn W. J. Bryan first put himself
on record as being opposed to expansion
and imperialism he was laughed at and
derided by politicians of both parties,
but it is apparent now that Mr. Bryan
chose the course that the people aie
most likely to endorse, particularly so
if the Philippine problem remains un
solved six months longer. East Oregon
ian. (rep.)
including New York and Illinois, have
statutes of a similar character.
Why are not these laws enforced?
It is as easy as a thimblerigger'
ome. The attorney-general of the
n -
United States, the official charged (un
der the president) with the duty of see
ing that "the laws are faithfully exe-
mitnd." savs that the regulation of
dustrial combinations "is entirely
matter of state control," and that "un
less the functions of interstate com
mwrce are interfere! with I would be
aiinorofticious to attempt a crusad
against affairs with which I have
business . "
To the lay mind of the ordinary plun
dered citizen it would seem that a meat
trust organized in Chicago, and not on
ly supplying the markets of all our east
ern cities but selling meat cheaper
in London than it does in ew York,
was engaged both in interstate and in
ternational commerce. So of the ice
trust, reaching from Maine to New
York. Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washinuton. So of the hide and leath
er trust and a hundred others.
And yet, with a trust lawyer as attor
ney general and a president to whose
campaign fund protected monopolies
contributed a million dollars,
and this can only be done by uniting in
one party, upon one platform, one con
vention and one ticket all who oppose
English financial metnods. Thepopu-
lists, silver republicans and democrats
have a common enemy to oppose and
defeat, and nothing short of a complete
union of all who favor popular govern
ment will effect it.
It is useless and foolish at this time to
talk or speculate upon the possibility of
taking up a new presidential candid ate.
