AGREAT fears are entertained that the
Indians at Poplar river agency are go
ing on the war path. A band OF 500 left
the agency and purchased a lot of provi-
sions at Glendive. Their whereabouts
now is not known, but no news has been
received Of any hostile demonstrations
as yet. Our scattered ranchers and
stock men would probably suffer severe
ly in case of an outbreak. The cattle
herds, too, would be slaughtered indis-
criminately. We remember the remark
made to us in answer to an inquiry at
Standing Rock agency two years ago.
On asking the Indian agent whether
Sitting Bull and his band were trouble
some or not, he assured that as long as
they were allowed plenty to eat they
were no more trouble than a lot of child
rem and seemed perfectly contented. If
this is the case with the Sioux, the most
warlike and bloodthirsty of all the
tribes, it must hold good with the rest
of the Indians. How much cheaper for
our Indian department to feed the poor
savage all he can get away with than to
half feed and to fight him at the same
time. It has been computed that our
government would save money by col
lecting the last mothers son of them
and paying their bills at a first-class
New York hotel. For some reason,
either the weakness of the average In
dian agent for stealing from his wards
or the parsimony of congress, our Indian
policy is well known to be a total fail
ure. Especially here in the west, where
we can see the. workings of the system,
do we know this to be the case.

THE LAND LAWS.

The desert land act, we think, is about
the only important part of our land
laws which is disliked in this territory.
We think if it were possible to leave it
to a popular vote of the people it would
be almost unanimously rejected. All
the other component parts of our govern
ment land system are well liked and
their effects beneficial to the rapid set
tlement of our wild lands. Take the
pre-emption and homestead acts. These
are recognized by every one who has
given the subject any thought al bene-
fetal, for giving every poor man who
wants it a good home and farm for a
mere nominal sum. These acts tend to
keep our immense bodies Of public land
out Of the hand Of large capitalists aud

In 1916, thirty-seven years ago, there
were only eleven m~illionaires in New
York city. Now they number over 300.
Nothing could better illustrate the in
crease in wealth of our country than
this fact. John Jacob Astor, who then
stood at the head of the list with his
little $50, 00O, 900, would cut a small fig
ure in Wall street, to-day, by the side of
Vanderbilt and Gould. Old Cornelius
Vanderbilt was at that day worth $780,
900 and Jay Gould was too young to cut
much Of a figure in financial circles.

Spain. The naughty Spaniards seem to
think a little more of their king On ac-
count of the indignities to which he
was subjected, but that will not hurt
them as they did have too much
love for their present ruler. Gen. Thi-
baudin, the late French minister of war,
refused to be present at a reception ten
dered Alfonso by the French govern
nent. The general said he could not be
present and have any respect for HIM
self. Thibaudin was compelled to hand
in his resignation for this mark Of dis
respect to the republics guest.

WOMEN iii some of the states are get
ting to be an important adjunct around
the polls on election day. They have
become interested since the introduction
of prohibition as a political question.
The ladies seem more concerned in this
question than in the struggle of certain
men for office, and they are always
found on the side of prohibition, it may
be said to their credit. In Ohio and
Iowa, at the late election, the gentler
sex worked side by side with the men
all day. Before this liquor question ap-
peared in politics the women, as a rule,
never took the least interest in the ballot
box, but of late this has changed. This
will do much towards fastening the
time when sex will be no bar to the cleo
tive franchise.

corporations, and thus prevent the grow
ing up of a landed aristocracy which is
the cause of mostof the political troubles
in Ireland to-day. Our rich lands
should be kept as a free gift to the man
in search of a home, where he can earn
an honorable living by honest toll, and
these laws, especially the homestead
act, fill the bill in this particular.
The presumption act is more open to
fraud, and an easier way for a mar OF
means to acquire a great deal of land.
The developments of fraud under it in
Dakota, Utah, and other places in the
west have been startling, and the
chances are the coming congress will
demand its repeal. It was only by an
accident that it was not done away
with at the last session.
The timber claim act has not been of
much benefit, as yet, to us IN the Rocky
mountain region, as there is considerable
timber in the country and the small
rainfall makes the growing of trees an
l. uphill VII tA1S O1SSASoo p1SSAAtSS
OF Dakota and Nebraska this act is very
highly priced, as timber is easily and
rapidly grown and is needed badly in
a country where hay, twisted into rolls,
is often used as a substitute for wood as
fuel.
The desert land act has now been in
operation several years in Montana and
we have seen no practical good arise
from its application, but, instead, a large
amount of land has been gobbled up by
capitalists and will be held for specula-
ton at a big figure, thus keeping actual
settlers off from as good land as we
have, and for the present actually pre-
venting the growth of country.
Under the three former provisions OF
the land laws, any person can get 48O
acres of land and that ought to be
enough to satisfy an ordinary citizen
who is not over much land greedy.
The $40 acres which the desert act
piles on top of that, making 1,12o acres
for an individual, is a little too extrava-
CANT.
When we hear of SO many millions
of acres of land still unsurveyed
in Montana a person may think the
supply is inexhaustible, but when one
thinkso of the immense quantity of land
taken up and improved in the last TWEEN
ty-ive years he will see there is no ex-
cuse for wasting any of this precious
| gift of nature. The uncertainty as to
exactly what class of land this law APP
plies has been the cause of numerous
and expensive lawsuits and litigation
without end. The rulings of the various
land commissioners have been as tickle
and varied as the blowing Of the wind
AT one time it was ruled that any thing
that would produce hay, without irri.
cation, was not desert land. The lates1
is the decision of Acting COMMISSIONS
Joslyn, who decides that land can bs
classed as desert which can not be prof
itably cultivated without irrigation
through a series Of years.
The former decision would give moth
ing in Montana of any value to the des
ert land act and render it ~inoperativ'
and void. The latter would put all tn
land Of any value in this class. Which
ever way the law is construed we d
not see that our territory is in the leas
benefited by its operation and hope ]
it will soon be repealed. The sooner tn
better for the real interests of Montana

SHAVING THE FACE.

Thirty years ago a few persons Of for
eign birth appeared in the streets with
hair on the upper lip, AID were objects
81 curiosity and sometimes Of public
ridicule. In 1850 some of the young
swells Of the metropolis began to wear
mustaches, but for some time no clerk
would venture 10 initiate them In one
case a merchant ON Pine street who had
Just engaged a clerk for twelve months,
or during good behavior, discharged him
for wearing a full beard, claiming that
the adoption of the fashion laid the
clerk open 10 dismissal under the good
behavior clause 10 the contract. About
the same time number Of leading Ller-
chants gave notice that they would EN-.
ploy nobody who wore hair on the up
per lip. As late as 1851 the senior pro
prietor of this paper made his cashier
shave of an incipient mustache, and
soon after brought his own son under
the razor. In the church of DIR. Be-
thune, on Brooklyn Heights, an elder
who was suffering from lame wrist al
lowed his beard 10 grow rather than
submit TO barber. The habit, begin
ming in necessity, continued on account
Of the increase of comfort which it af-
forded, and the elder Haunted his beard
before the congregation constantly. The
result was laughable. Many of the
brethren called upon the pastor to insist
upon doing away with such scandal
as a ull-bearded elder. He led them TO
his library and showed them how some
Of the early fathers had pleaded against
cutting off the beard. "He turned TO
Lactantius, Theodoret, St. Augustine
and st. Cyprian, who had stoutly con-
tended for the growth Of the whole
beard. He quoted from Clement, OF
Alexandria, the assertion that Nature
adorned men, like a lion, with beard,
as a mark Of strength and power. When
one Of the visitors asked him how he
would like 1t II the clergy assumed the
mustache, DIR. Bethune referred him to
decision of the fourth Council of Car
thage "a. ID. 252, can. AZ. in which it
was positively enacted that cleric shall
not shave his beard, and TO a statement
made by Luther in discussing the sub.
ject, that all the Protestant martyrs
were burned in their full boards" This
did not settle the matter, for subse
quently the ladies OF the congregation
put in their protest But in few
months a venturesome lawyer let his
beard grow after the manner Of the ell
der, and in little while smooth-shaven
faces were no longer the rule but were
the exception. York Journal If
