No Tinkering With the Land Laws.

THERE should be no tinkerirg with
the land laws. except to make them
more liberal. If the requirement of
land in this arid country, the only
place where IA man can 10Y get a home
stead. is to be made still diff
cult, then there is great probability
that Canada will carry off the great
er part Of desirable homesteadeIs
from this time on. In this country
"a man has to live on his homestead
for five wears before he eau get a
title from the Government. The
Government offers him no induce
ments, whatever. but leaves him to
rustic along the best he a without
any assistance from her in the way
OF transportation, seeds, etc.
Not SO in Canada. Canada offers
every homesteader free Transports
ton for himself and family, and also
for his household goods, farm ma
bhinery and farm stock, up TO "A Ger.
tain amount. She requires home,
steaders to live on their claims but Is
months before proving up and az
quiring title. She also furnishes
seed wheat, and other seeds as are
adaptable to the soil, forthe first year,
doing all in her power to make the
homesteader self-sustaining within a
short period Of time.
The requirements, so lar hs resi-
dence is concerned, is very liberal.
If the homesteadors so desires his
residence need be only constructive,
as he is permitted to live at ii neigh
boris house, If il is within "a mile OF
his land. In the case of n home
steader with grown o n and daugh-
tiers, they can all take homesteads adj
Joining the home-place, and live in
the family, and their residence is ac-
cepted as having been upon the land
entered.
When it comes to liberality the
| Dltet States Is not III IL WIN ldld
da in the matter Of land laws, and
if there are any more structures plac'
ed on our land laws the result will be
II large emigration of homesteaders
to British Columbia. where farmers
are made welcome and helped to be
come self-sustaining, instead of com.
PEELED. as in the United States, to be
treated rs though they were unwel-
come intruders, trying to beat the
Government out Of its rich o. and
fertile land.

ments, all he has to do is to write to
the Canadian Government and it will
forward him IA laud office pamphlet
that will make him open his eyes.

Discourage the Agltator.

It Is generally agreed that Arizona was never before so prosperous as il is now. There was never a time in the history of the territory when it was confronted by sc many and so splendid possibilities for its further uplifting. II is also agreed by careful observers that there is only one thing that can defeat the early realization of those possibili- ties, and that Is the successful activity of the labor agitator. He has already done much within the last few months to create alarm among those who would like to participate in the pros perity of the territory and thereby make 1t still more prosperous.
 The agitator, the walking delegate, is the only representative of class which does not want to see prosperity. That is a condition in which he cannot thrive He Is one whose interests are opposed to those of an overwhelming number, and it is almost incomprehen- slble that he should succeed. But he has succeeded against as great odds elsewhere and he has left mills and workshops silent and idle. Starving families of laborers have been signs of his progress.
 It is especially essential to the inter ests of the territory that he should not succeed here at this time. This terri tory has been singularly free from his xNsith in hA n year, and :n consequence investments within the territory have been much in favor among the capitalists of the east. The mines of Arizona would not be nearly so attractive to intending in- vestors if investments would probably be controlled by agitators.
 Therefore the worst effect of his operations would not be the withhold ing more or less temporarily of the un- developed wealth of the mines, in itself 8 sufficient calamity. There would be given to the territory a reputation which would permanently prevent the development of many properties by driving away the capital needed by the owners of the mines and industrious prospectors.
 In consequence of the importance of the mining industry, and its effect up on every section of the territory and upon every possible variety of busi- ness. it becomes the duty of all good citizens to stand against the labor agi- tator and combine for the discourage ment of his efforts. with a due regard, however. for the rights Of labor, and with deference to the conservative ele- ment of labor organizations.

p. M. Arthur.

P. NJ Arthur, dead and full Of honors at 70 years, deserves a lasting memori- al from organized labor, for no other fectlvely to make organizations clean and honest and respectable. During all the years that he was the grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers he stood for moderation, self respect and honora ble dealing. His in- huence for the good of the brotherhood was incalculable. He made it one of the most high toned, respected organi- zations In the world.
 There was nothing secret or mysteri" ous about Arthur's methods. He in sisted, merely, that the brotherhood should act with the same honor and fair dealing that was required on the part of employers. In other words. he required, first Of all. that the members of the order should be men, and should hold themselves as the equals of the best of men. He did not teach them that they were of a class apart from InelT IellOW ClIlZeHS, that they were slaves because they worked for wages, or that there was any reason for en- mity between them and the corpora tions which provided them with em- ployment. Always, he was against strikes except as a last resort
 There was. indeed, nothing surprising about Arthurs marvellous success. He simply believed that honesty, fairness and common sense would win. The truly remarka ble thing is that so few other labor leaders have had the sa- gacity to follow his example. With most of them the success of an hour has been followed by disgrace or last ing oblivion. During the generation in which P. M. Arthur was guiding the locomotive brotherhood, scores of other labor leaders held the stage before the public and then disappeared forever. It requires an unusual memory to re- call the names of any of them that fiourished even as recently as five years ago. Yet, all of us do remember that while they were before the public they were very important The news papers for a brief space were filled with what they were doing and saying,
Arizona republican., 1903-07-22

filled with details of the murders. loss es and suffering caused by the strikes which they had ordered. They, failed and were forgotten because they were weak. vain and pretentious. and ire quently dishonest-because they could not lift above their own level the fol- lowers who trusted them. and because they advocated policies which never will be approved by the American peo- pie But the fate which has overtaken them does not deter and will not deter the new crop of labor leaders that each year develops The contrast between them and Grand Chief Arthur only brings out more brilliantly the merits of the dead leader.

PERlLs OF THE LAKES.
Need of Stringent Rules for Safety
of Crews and Craft.


of Crews and Craft.
A life buoy with blood stains on the
shoulder straps and bearing the name
of the missing steel steamer Bannock-
burn has drifted ashore near the
Grand Marais life-saying station. The
terrible story of the struggle Of the
crew as revealed by this grim relic
will never be told. The Bannockburn
was steel steamer 225 feet long, 40
feet beam and p feet inches depth.
She was built at Middleburgh, Eng
land, and was cut in two to allow her
to pass through the st. Lawrence ca
nails. When she left Fort William on
her last trip she carried $4,000 bush
els of grain.
The loss of such a vessel shows the
trying conditions to which lake traf-
fic is subjected and the need of string
ent laws to prevent overlooking, sail
ing with insufficient crews, or ventur'
ing out in an unseaworthy condition.
The record Of the close of the present
season, without the long list of fatal
tiles that has increased even more ra-
pidly than the growth Of lake traffic,
should be sufficient to warrant the en-
actment of laws providing for the
safety Of vessels and crews. The
Plimsoil mark that determines the
load which British vessels are allowed
to carry has three lines, the deepest
for summer, the medium for winter
and the lightest for winter in the
North Atlantic. Vessels are allowed to
load more heavily in summer than in
winter, and the special dangers of
the North Atlantic in winter are rec
ognized by the stipulation of still
lighter load.
Legislation imposing similar re-
strictions is required on the lakes,
and the need is even more urgent than
it was in Britain before the days OF
| Plimsoil The lake seas are more
choppy and irregular and consequent
ly more difficult to avoid. The great
est danger in open water, the rising
of a gigantic wave above the others
is more frequent in the lake storms
The conditions surroundings lake
traffic are exceptionally trying and il
is time a concerted effort was made
to minimize the destruction of prop
erty and loss Of life. The establish
ment of load line would be of grea
benefit. There should also be a sys
tenn Of inspection under which owners
could he required to ship a sufficien
complement Of men and to keep thei
vessels in a seaworthy condition.
