SHNATOK IJOIUH'S STATKMKNT.
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.

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.

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.
