OPPOSED TO LEASING.

Land Commissioner Hermann ap-
peared before the house public lands
committee last week in opposition to
the Bowersock bill for leasing the
vacant public lands of the western
states for term of ten years at two
cents per acre, preference being CIV
en- to settlers at the ratio of 10 acres
of leasehold to one of freeholding.
The commissioner contended that the
bill would work incalculable injury to
a majority of the people of the west
ern states. retard the development OF
the public domain, impose additional
priyation upon pioneers and compel
small stock owners and settlers to pay
tribute and rental to the syndicate
owners, who would order them from
the open field. II would encourage
great land monopolies upon the va
cant domain, which should be free to
all. and engender a feeling of hostil.
ity and inequality among the large
stockmen and settlers. Therefore he
recommended that the bill be not en-
acted.
There never has been any great
danger of this bill becoming a law
While there may be certain great
areas of land that repel the home
seeker, that is. the farmer, by its iso
lation and scarcity of water, timber
and other essentials to agriculture
the opening of this door would soon
lead to great monopoly in not only
these isolated tracts but to Others
more desirable. No doubt there arc
some settlers who think they would
be greatly benefited by the passage ol
this bill, and in few instances they
would be for time. but its evils
would eventually come, through Q
crowding of the range. The splendid
values for all kinds of live stock, es
pecially beef. is interesting capital
lists, and there is a desire to get in OF
the ground floor, but the first essen
tial is land and feed. If these can be
obtained in abundance the game Is
half won. Montana and other west
ern states are better off under present
conditions. Large holdings by non
residents through a system of leas
ing is of no special benefit to the
state and We doubt very much wheth
er it would increase the revenues OF
the government.
Fergus County argus., 1902-04-23

David b. Hill, in his speech at the
Jefferson birthday anniversary cele.
bration in New York, among other
things, said: In free republic like
ours, an equality Of fortunes among
our citizens is believed to be desira-
BILE" Believed to be desirable" 3"
What a demagogic expression that Is.
1t is very desirable. but how is Mr.
Hill going to bring it about? Why
doesn't he make a start by surrender
ing his elegant apartments, Wolferts
Roost, for a hospital or some other
benevolent purpose? No government
on earth is capable of making laws
that will equalize fortunes. The ac-
cumulation of fortunes rests largely
upon individual capacity and effort.
Wise policies increase opportunities
and that Is the limit of governmental
functions. How much chance or op-
portunity did man have under the
last Democratic administration? In
stead of "equalizing fortunes" it came
near universalizing pauperism in a
land that contained abundance. Mr..
Hill is very smooth politician, but
the masses. like the fly that accepted
the spiders invitation to enter his
place of abode, have been fooled once
too often.

BEEF PRICES.

While there may be an investiga-
tlOn of the beef trust to determine
whether IL has been instrumental in
raising the price of beef II is the opin-
ion of those well informed that the
upward jump is due to natural causes,
or supply and demand. Owing TO the
shortage or failure of the corn crop
in the Mississippi valley states last
season ii is said very few cattle have
been fitted for the spring market
this cereal now being 65 cents bush
el. There is very little prime beef
on the Chicago market and inferior
cattle bring close TO 81 a hundred.
Several Montana growers who have
ted literally during the winter and
shipped to Chicago this spring have
realized from $50 to $40 a head.
When Fergus county gets an all rail
outlet there will be no reason why
our cattle raisers cannot take advan-
tage Of the spring market for top
beef. With an abundance of hay and
alfalfa for feed prime beef can be
shipped as early as March and good
prices realized. In some favored To-
calities as REGARDS shipment it is now
being done with great success and
our cattle raisers. both small and
large. should be prepared for the op-
portunity when it comes to them.
There is every reason why cattle
should bring a good price this fall.
There may be slight drop from the
present high figures owing to a crowd
ing upon the market during the ship
ping season, but Montana cattle have
wintered well and without drouth
destroys the range beef cattle will be
in condition for earlier shipment than
for many years past.
Fergus County argus., 1902-04-23
IGNORANT OF FACTS.

Among our valued exchanges is the
Holio Times. Philippine Islands. Its
issue of March 10th contained an ed
itorial on General Funston's speech
before the Lotus Club of New York.
The writer endorses the little Kansan
in the following strong language:
No statement made since the mem
orable words of General Lawton con-
tains more of truth than the state
ment of General Funston. Anyone
acquainted with the state of affairs
in these islands. anyone who has read
the insurgent documents from the
bombastic proclamations of the Hong
Kong Junta to the last orders of the
guerilla chief Lukban. knows that the
rebellion would have died six months
ago had 1t not been for the encour-
agement given to the rebels by the
talk of men in America who are as ig-
norant of conditions here as they are
of conditions in the planet Mars.
The Filipino is not sufficiently ac-
quainted with American politics to
know that the Democrats are in mi
nority in both houses of congress or
to understand that their loud demands
for Philippine independence are but
the frothy vaporings of demagogues
who lacking an issue can do nothing
else but attack the program of the
Republican party.
1t is true that the words of these
ignorant men have kept alive the re-
bellion and have sent hundreds of
brave soldiers to their graves.
The better class of Filipinos have
ceased to dream of independence and
today the federal party is rapidly
growing because ii desires eventual
statehood under the stars and stripes.
We do not think that Governor Vidal,
who is a man of some intelligence.
would have been guilty of the nom
sense at the end of his inaugural
speech had it not been for the fact
that he had been reading the quota
tions from the speeches of Democrats
that have been profusely copied and
scattered broadcast through these is.
lands. Filipino independence will
never come through the Democrats
but their silly talk is daily placing oh.
stacles in the way of the pacification
OF these islands. We have enemies
here but the worst enemies to our.
selves and to the Filipino are not
the few bands of ladron-rebels still in
arms but the ignorance OF certain
fellows in. America who would pose
as statesmen and whose only stock
in trade are the names of Thomas
jefferson. Andrew Jackson and an
opposition to all that is good and true

Henry Watterson is having terri
BILE time scraping up an issue for the
next Democratic national campaign.
In his wild delirium he evidently has
an over-heated journal to all of his
wheels. He sees absoluteism, the man
on horseback and other imaginary
evils. In his diatribe this journalistic
blackguard refers to the president as
follows: Never were the spoils of
office so shamelessly employed for
corrupt purposes as by the self-an-
Ointed civil service reformer whom
destiny has placed in the White
House, and who means to stay there
if he can, and if he is able to secure
certain machinery essential to the
purpose. he thinks he can" When
one considers that this is the same
Watterson who defended the infamous
Goebel election law of Kentucky any
charges he makes fall fiat, as do his
pretensions to political virtue. He
would like to be a Moses when he
would appear to better advantage in
the character of Ananias.

hunting business instead of office?
Does not their own silence or what
little they may say appear strange in
contrast to former attitudes?
Jerry Simpson, who was present at
the stockmen's meeting in Miles City
and Helena says his mission is TO
urge the stockmen to perfect their
local organization and then join the
national organization" and says:
The business and commercial rela-
tions Of the people have become so
closely identified that each specific
line OF industry is organizing itself to
see to it that in the general run they
get none the worst of the deal. This
great organization is but the result
of the natural workings of a scientific
principle of economy and that itself
is the solution of the great social
problems of today"
This is strange admission to come
from the former leader of Populism in
this country, which is supposed to be
arrayed against combinations. But
Jerry is not the only one to see things
differently when he becomes a bene-
| ficiary. Chairman Jones. of the ma
tional Democratic committee, has
grown opulent through his connection
with the round-bale cotton trust
Former Senator Roger Q. Mills Of
Texas, is now an oil king and has
lost interest in the dear people;
Charley Towne, who harpooned an

Hogg of Texas, General Coxy OF Ohio,
and Mr.. Bryan of Nebraska. who have
grown rich under Republican admin.
istration of the affairs of the govern
ment. Hogg has recently returned
from London where he has been hob
nobbing with royalty and million
aires; Coxey is too busy raking IN
profits from his steel works to even
look at a keep off the grass sign,
while Bryan is building mansion on
his farm near Lincoln.
The moral of this is, that it makes
all the difference in the world wheth-
er a man is in or out of politics, as
regards the rapidity with which the
country is going to the dogs.

from Washington in the determine
tion TO keep the Chinese from our
shores. But Mr. Spooner said he be-
lieyed in keeping treaty obligations,
and either there should be exclusion
consistent with our treaty. or else. If
necessity required. there should be
an abrogation of that treaty.
When this bill becomes a law II will
be found to be as rigid as is consist
