On another page of The Examiner thin week, apiienrn the light of the Federal Orand Jury, recently In ten sion in Portland, upon tho prenent land lawn governing public land. The volumli.ous letter, sent to Secre tary Hitchcock renouncing tho land laws of today, and strongly urging their repenl, wan, no doubt, tho re sult of that body of able gentlemen having been for two weeks delving Into the numerous land frauds jer petrated In the public land states, and were preyed upon by the disclos ure of wholesale jerjury and siecu lation, to such an extent that radi cal changes seemed the only remedy for land frauds. While the document contains some sound reasoning for regaling cer tain clauses in the present land laws it seems thatto make a clean sweep of the statute books would be whol ly uncalled for. Now that the schemes of fraudulent land grabbers are an open book to the public, and spoliators can le headed off by the government through the aid of hon est homebuilders, it seems an abnurd policy to wipe the laws so familiar to the common people from the law ' books and place upon them new and intricate laws that none but the Bhrewdest;iawycrs can comprehend, would only be an Invitation to grafters and spoilsmen to play in the bauds of land syndicates fur another period (if education of the common; people Ion thorough understanding of the land laws, that the aid of j bona fide settlers Would be of value! to government inspectors in dealing j with land grabbers. The present j laws are good enough, if carefully guarded. t'ligunrded, no kind of land laws would protect tho public domain. Jt is easier to guard the iutercst.of the government when our laws are familiar to all, than It would be If laws were In force which would-be u dictionary of intricarles to the'general public. It cannot be reasonably supposed that any body of eminent law makers can draft laws that shrewd and conspiring spoilsmen cannot misconstrue to their victims upon whom they de pend for perjury In accomplishing their ends, and who do so, In many instances, through Ignorance of any wrongdoing, If tho laws ure made to be unfamiliar to tho common people. Conspirators against the govern ment have manipulated extensive deals wherein fraud and perjury was necessary to Its accomplish ment, but not wholly within them selves. Innocent and houest people REPUBLICANS ARE A UNIT The Herald last week In comment ing upon the condition ot affaim In the republican party felt constalned to say, "The convention wan far from being harmonious, and what the outcome will le next June may Ik a surprise to many. That the factions will unite In the support of the en tire ticket Is hardly probable." Of course Joe means well, and nodotibt believes what he says. We have only the kindest regards for him. and take his prophesies with the same degree of slmulance that his adeptness ns a politician In tho re publican ranks Inspires his readers with. Joe is a great politician among the democrats, but conceding that his remarks were actuated by bis noblest impulse, and not dominat ed by any evil motive, the best Inter ests of the republican party in 1 Jike county would be bettr subserved by the absence of Joe's prophlsies. These little scrambles for places must be exiocted In the best regulat ed campaigns, ami never leave a mark of bitterness when settled. We have no doubt but that somebody will be 'surprised,"" but to avoid a concussion, it would Iks well for the opposing ticket to Ikj well prepared for the shock the count ing of the ballots on the nth day of Juno will cause, as the republican "tallys" down the line from sheriff to corner.
