THE LAND GRAB

A meet ,ng of the cattlemen Of
California, Washington, Oregon,
Montana, Utah, Nevada and Ari-
zona will be held on March 5th, for
the purpose Of taking steps to Sc
cure the passage Of the Foster bill.
now pending before Congress.
The bill provides for the delim!
tation and leasing Of the grazing
lands on the public domain to
stockmen for terms of ten yeas,
with the right of their use.-Ex.
The above indicates that the cattle
kings are not content with the vast
area they now control but must reach
further and grab fer every thing in
sight. While the people are talking
over the outrage that is being at
tempted the cattle men ale down to
action ard if the people do no. pro-
test at once they will gain The point
in sight. Instead of giving the cat
tie kings more range check should
he put on them. They already own
ranges that are principalitie and
their holding IN most cases have not
been gained by legal methods. If the
lands occupied by the cattle kings
could be thrown open to settlement
hundreds of people could and would
be farming the lands. AS the matter
now rests the cattle men keep the
small owners out and don t want them
in the way.
With the cattle men in control OF
the grazing lands it is not likely that
the people will be anxious to do any
thing towards storing alter or other
wise improving the now unoccupied
lands
Let the people do as much work as
the cattle men are doing and they Car
head off any further land grabbing
Put restrictions on these men who
want the earth and see that the poo
man at least has land that is lett cper
for him to occupy. The rich are ricf
enough. Give the people with small
means chance and leave a quartz
section on earth open for future i'm
migration. Make a few laws fer tn
benefit Of the toilers and restrain til
rich from taking lease on the entir
globe.

A BRITISH VICTORY

The surrender OF Cronje on the an
niversary of Majuba Hill has spread
Joy over Great Britain. An army OF
fifty thousand men pursued less than
three thousand into the mountains and
compelled capitulatIon after several
days of desperate fighting. By this
time the English must realize what
it means to follow a wounded lion of
the Transvaal into his lair and cap
ture him. The gallant old leader
gave grim battle to his foes to the
last end they paid a good round price
for the pelt they took on the 18th.
The sympathies of the United States
go out to the people who are COM
PEELED to face the guns OF a so-called
civilized nation in order to uphold
liberty in South Africa. 1t must be
admitted that the soldiers OF Britain S
army deserve every praise for storm
ing the works Of so formidable foe
after the heavy reverses of the Tugela
and the only regret lies in the fac,
that so ignoble cause should have
behind it one Of the leading nations
Of the world While the individual
soldier deserves the highest praise 70,
his valor the nation will still rank a:
bully and tyrant, waging wa
inspired by revenge and commercial
greed.
