The WATER BONDS.
gressm nan

what Will the People do With the Cour
ell. Proposition,
III must be said that but little interes,
is manifested in the matter OF the pro
posed water bonds for enlargement Of
the system.
Generally speaking the people have
no opinion on the question and the bonds
may fail to carry by virtue OF this listless'
ness and apathy. One thing the people
will insist upon if they vote the bonds
namely, they must be assured that
enough water and pressure will be pro.
vided TO give water to the city's park on
the south side and the high places gen.
orally.
If the people can be convinced that
the park will be given plenty OF water
and University and Mapleton additions
as we'll, i, is likely they will consider the
outlay a very moderate one compared
with the good that will result.
The Camera would like to publish the
opinions Of citiz.ns upon this subject
1t would, undoubtedly, be wise tor mem
bers of the council and the city engineer
to supplement their published statement
by statements of specific portions OF the
city to be benefited by the proposed
alterations. These columns will be cheer.
fully given Tor such purpose.

The case of the People vs. VIM. j.
Henwood, South Haven druggist charg-
ed with not reporting sales of iptoxcat-
ing liquors made by him, as required by
section % of the local option law, was
heard in the supreme court few days
ago. The decision of the case in that
court will, no doubt, settle the status OF
the law in this county.
b. f. Lamson has purchased a fine
outfit for giving moving picture and
phonograph entertainments. The ex-
hibitions he has given are said to be
very fine. He will give the show at
Longwell's opera house, Thursday even
ing, February 8. The admission will be
20 cents; children ID cents. Scenes
from Cuba and the Cuban war, includ-
ing the battleship Maine, will form an
interesting part of the entertainment.
About nine o'clock Thursday evening,
the fire alarm called our people out.
The blaze was in III. l.. McNeil's house
west of Longwells opera house, oc-
cupied by Prof. and Mrs. G.. w. Cate.
The value of our waterworks system
was fully demonstrated, as it was only
few minutes after Prof. and Mrs. OLeary,
next door neighbors, discovered the fire
and gave the alarm, until two streams of
water were being thrown, and the fire was
under control before it would have been
possible to have gotten up steam in the
engine. There was no one at home when
the fire started, and no fire in the house,
except in hard coal heating stove. The
fire was in the ceiling of the first floor,
and must have started either from the
chimney or from the electric light wir-
ing. A large part of the household goods
were carried out. Mr.. McNeil's loss on
the house is about $500, Prof Gates loss
on contents about $780, both insured.
There not being an empty house in town,
Prof. and Mrs. Cate are forced to con-
tinue living in the rear part of the house,
which was undamaged

for political reasons the Weser postmaster appears
anxious cripple the growing circulation of
Wesers legitimate and leading paper and Wash

department, is seeking to injure its business and
deprive it of mail facilities granted every other
legitimate publication in the United States. Whether
there is anything than Postmaster Pritchetts
personal responsibility behind the plot remains
be seen in the future. Until the discrimination
against the SIGNAL is Strengthened out, this paper

paper calculated to dffuse information regarding
our resources and bring capital and population to
the country may be held up and kept out of the

cannot be printed this week, but this community
will be given an opportunity to become judge and

Held up in the House for Several
Years, Now Passes.
FAVORED BY EDGAR WILSON
The Bill Provides for Granting to the Head Of
Every Family 100 Acres Of Land.

The following is Congressman Will
sons address made before the house
recently on the ''Free Homes" bill
which was passed by that body Mr.
Wilson is to be commended on the
speech and the position he took on
the bill:
Mr. Chairman, | desire to call the
attention of the House, briefly, to
the necessity aud justice OF this
proposed legislation with particular
reference to the state have the hon
or to represent.
Our government is the first one In
the history OF nations to recognize
the free homestead principle in the
disposition Of its public lands. All
monarchical governments have pro-
ceeded on the theory that the public
lands belonged to the crown, and
were to be disposed OF for its benefit
md profit. Centuries ago, as early
as the days of the Roman Empire,
the idea that the public lands be-
longed to the people and were held
in trust for their use was suggested;
but it did not find favor with the
ruling classes and was not enacted
into law. 1t remained for this great
popular government of ours to bring
forth and create this principle which
has done 30 much for the civilization
and development of our country.
This mighty accomplishment is
largely due TO the work OF one man.
While others may have thought OF it,
nevertheless history will record the
fact that to Galusha A. Grow, s.n
honored member Of this house, the
credit of homestead legislation is
due more than to all others. He it
was who introduced the first bill on
the subject, in 1852, and be it was
who never ceased to advocate it until
success crowned his efforts May II,
1862, when Abraham Lincoln signed
the homestead law. This law gave
every citizen of the republic the
right to locate homestead of not to
exceed 100 acres Of the public do
main, and to obtain title therefor
from the government without any
payment whatever except the land
office fees.
The ancient idea of other govern
ments and other times with respect
to the public lands was abandoned, !,
and the congress then said that these
lands belonged to the people and
. we're simply held in trust by the gov
D ernment for the use and benefit OF
the whole people. In the enactment
t of this Legislation the question of
how the United States had obtained
: title to these lands, or what had
been their cost, was not considered.
1t was not even suggested that the
government should be reimbursed
for its outlay in obtaining title either
in whole or in part 1t remained fol
later day and more graspiDg age 70
suggest this plan.
Notwithstanding the government
was engaged in tremendous struggle
for its existence, which required thAt

ed, congress, after ten years discus
sion and deliberation, settled ant
fixed for all time to come, the home
stead method of disposing of th'
p ublic lands as the established polio,
of our government. Strange, in
deed, that a subsequent coDgres
sho uld have been induced TO aband0
it.
The Indian problem has been
