No Premium on Honesty.

When the homesteader first took up land
in Oklahoma he agreed with the govern
ment that $1.25 per acre should be the
price of the land. TIE Industrious and
thrifty worked hard. saved their money
and paid the price. Others put off the
evil day, and the politicians came to the
rescue with the so-called free homes"
BILL" which enabled the reputation Of
this Indebtedness This was worth about
$40 900, 900 to the farmers of Oklahoma
who had delayed payment. Those who
had paid got no relief.
The kiowa reservation is opened with
the same provision that each homesteader
shall pay SIPS per acre for his land, but
1t Is now being freely promised by the
politician in that section that as soon as
congress meets the free homes bill'' will
be so extended in its operations as TO
throw the burden Of the purchase of the
lands from the Indians upon the national
treasury. There will not be 50 much "
original workings of the measure, as no
one who takes up land on the Kiowa re-
serve will make any effort to pay for the
same until all hope Of government relief
Is abandoned.
These are but details, however, of the
been taught by the operations OF the
homestead law in Oklahoma. A great
state has been built from Its foundation
to completion in a brief ten years by the
simple process of giving the land only to
the man who was willing to earn the same
by actual residence Had the desert land
law, for instance, prevailed In Oklahoma
from the time of the opening to settle
ment. thousands of acres of land now
contributing their quota to the annual
wheat yield of 25.000000 bushels would be
inclosed in some cattleman's fence, where
twenty acres of land are allowed as only
sufficient for the support of single cow
Oklahoma, when admitted to the union.
will possess the proud distinction OF being
the only homestead state" and there can
be no other, for the lesson has only been
learned as the last commonwealth was in
the final stage of It's ripening.

MANcHUR1A, NOT TIENTs1N
The Danger Point in the Negotiations
Powers VIII Not stand for Rus
sia's Graspfng Disposition-Win
Make a Protest.


New York, March According to ad-
vices received from Washington, the diplo-
matists say that Manchuria and not Tient-
sin is the danger point to the Chinese stu
ton. These gentlemen assert that Great
Britain, Japan and Germany have given
Russia to understand that they will regard
with disfavor the signing of the Man
churia convention.
1t is further stated that if the conven-
ton is signed a vigorous protest will be
made by these powers, and should this
not be effective more effective measures
will be taken. 1t is well understood here
that the conflict between the powers will
precipitate the dismemberment of China.
which the president and Secretary Hay
are trying to prevent. Great Britain,
Germany and Japan are suspicious of the
st. Petersburg government, nota ithstand-
ing its protestations of good faith, and
that government, it is believed, will aban-
don the convention with China rather
than engage in war.
1t is stated that the only danger in the
situation at Tientsin lies in the antip-
athy of the British and Russian troops fol-
each other. The London and st. Peters
burg governments, however, it was said
will not allow any clash to occur in that
part of China that might involve the two
countries in war.
