Senator Horah of Idaho was In dicted for conspiracy In certain land frauds and was acquitted by the jury on the first ballot. He has Issued his statement In regard to the position -which his Indictment placed him In and has incidentally taken occasion to denounce the timber and stone Taw In unmeasured terms. Some papers, among them the San Fran cisco Chronicle, take him to task for his denunciatory remarks, and1 seek to leave an impression that in mak ing them he Is denouncing the ad ministration. Why the papers re ferred to should take such a position Is not explainable on any other Iheorv than that they have caught lite phrenzy and are disposed to go, Jn the direction of foolish prosecu tions, farther than the president. What Senator Borah did say In hfs ftatement was as follows: "The stone and timber law is a piece of infamy as administered by the government. The government makes a man swear that he does not fake it on speculation, and the de partment construes this to mean ho must not take It with a view of sell ing It. There Is not a man In the department of the Interior and pre sumably In the department of justice but knows full well that ninety-nine men or women out of a hundred tako up these claims with no other view than selling them as soon as they get title. Notwithstanding this Knowledge, the government continues to Issue final receipts, and thus connives at the doing of that which they afterward seek to visit upon some one as a fraud." The Times has before this ex pressed viows similar to those ex pressed by Senator Borah and Is rfTsposed to reltotate them. It does not necessarily follow that the ad ministration is criticised except so far as to say that over-zealous friends and servants of the strenuous presi dent do foolish things some times for which tho president Is not responsi ble. They hunt for ovidonc" and when they discover slightly uuspic fotts circumstances which can bo very easily explained they mngnify thorn and seek Indictments and convictions al great exponso to tho people and fjrent loss of reputation, tlmo and money, to Innocent men whoso acts are easily explained. This over-zeal and recklessness has seized Juries stnd courts In the phronzied season, and mon who have merely done what everybody else did, hnvo to suffer. Tho remit is that a marked revulsion at fooling is occurring and wiser counsels nro likely to characterize the future. Wo hopo so. THAT FKONT STUKHT NXTKX SIOX.

One of the most Important reasons why Coos Bay cities should consoli date at once and assume and exercise tho municipal powers of a port Is that the tidal area Is In real danger from the fact that a portion of the mud flats which are called "the Isl and" may get into the hands of men who caro nothing for the harbor and its shipping facilities. It could bo bought at present, no doubt, for a fairly reasonable figure and If tho port were organized and had author ity to issue bonds to purchase it no doubt the present owners would ac cept bonds In payment. The city should own the tract so that at the proper time, it could be dredged out and the tidal area, which is so Im portant in the scheme to reduce the bar at the harbor mouth permanent ly, could be preserved. There will come a time when one of the princi pal values of Coos Bay will be "an chorage" in the Inner harbor. Some day It will cost tho government from $500 to $1,000 per acre to buy that tract. GRAFT COMMON AMONG BRITONS Loudon Police and the Local Gov ernment Bodies Are 1'er- i nicatctf. Teddy Bears at Prentiss.' STOCKHOLDERS ARE WITH HARRIMAN New York, Oct. 9. A cable to tho World from London says: It may tend to make New Yorkers better satisfied with conditions in their metropolitan city to learn that an almost precisely similar conditon of graft, big and petty, flourishes among London ofllclals as Is com plained of by them, and that tho police force hitherto believed to be above suspicion, has been found to be corruptible and some of its mem bers guilty of precisely the same sort of tyranny and persecution said to be rampant among New York's "finest." London has awakened to the fact that graft scandals are becoming common-place among London local bodies. That Is not to say that the knowledge Is new In London, but that John Burns, as president of local government board, Is establish ing rigorous Inquiries Into Irregu larities, and whenever he finds cor ruption, Is instituting criminal pros ecution. Burn's predecessors pre ferred to Ignore these peculations, which have grown Into a system. Although the grafting necessarily represented small - Individual amounts, in the aggregate they were enormous. The graft was per mitted to become a part of the system of the local government of the country. The Steamer F. PLANT Plant sails Saturday from Marshfield.
