FRIDAY, AUGIST 13, 1 909.
DISGUACICI'TI, IJTTKRY.
The Oregonliin of the 7th Instant
ban a hhort editorial on what It
styles "The Land Gamble," which
ban condensed Into It a whole lot of
truth which nhou!d go home to the
S'-cretary of the Interior and cause
him to blush with honest shame for
bis administration. H U seldom we
' have' had the privilege of seeing In so
Hhort a space so much that Is absol
utely worthy ol a gnat, newspaper.
While eveiy word of this rrlticl.-un
Is true, P. iloi s not contain all the
objections that can be made against
this My!" ol' lolti i.v. Iln is the edi
torial: "The great National land lottery
condiK l d by I Ik- government In
Montana, Washington mid Idaho has
brol.' ii all record:! for affairs of the
kind. In the number of victims It
liinhes a fairly cod showing In com
parison wllh the late Louisiana lot
tery. "That the ( bailees of the victims
for drawing any hind of a prize were
much greater tn the Louisiana lot
tery Is easily apparent when It Is
stated that ouh one out of 100 of
the applicants stands any show to
draw a claim. One of the notaries
who look depositions of the appli
cants made nearly $:1000. and others
made us high as $i:!r per day. The
railroads tcieved mi Immense sum
In fares, and the hotels, lodging
houses and pick pocket also profit
ed great ly by t be rush.
"Sonic of the victims can stand the
loss which they have been obliged to
incur, but among them nre thousands
of poor people wlio can ill afford to
lose the nioni y Hpent on this greatest
of modern lotteries. If there Is any
thing in connection with the whole
affair that Is creditable to the gov
ernment, It has not yet been made
public."
Ah we have remarked, more might
linve been said by the Oregonlan and
not weakened the criticism. For In
Blnnce, mention could have been
made that it would have been a
crime against the post office depart
ment for any t ltly.cn to have done the
name thing and a newspaper publish
ing any advertisement such as the
Interior department used would have
lieen denied the use of the malls.
The' post office department would
liave denounced the Hcheine as a
fraud; warning the public against It.
Mr. 1'aft has much to look after since
the 4th of March last It Is true, and
perhaps, has been unable to give this
mibjict a single thought, but we
trust that lie will have Ills attention
called to the matter by some well
wisher of his administration before
this national disgrace Is out of mind.
less diseased fruit In the market this
season than In any previous year
since pests have become troublesome.
Close fruit Inspection In orchards
and in the market is the only way
to make our fruit what it should be
and make the business pay. The
trouble Is with the orchard and the
only remedy Is to spray for the vari
ous diseases. If you have neglected
this this year, the crop for this sea
son Is spoiled and you must not ex
pect to offer It In the market with
out suffering the pains and penalties
provided by law.
