O0,000,000 to build up fine stock
farms for them; should allow them
one-half of the standing army to keep
prospective settlers off their prem

right of priority and aridness, by the
grace of God!' Aridness? What caused
aridness? twenty-five years ago por-
tions of Colorado and New Mexico
were covered with luxuriant growth
of grass, You could pluck stems of
grass while riding along on bareback.
Today, back from the streams, you
can't find spear of grass-nothing but
cactus. The cattlemen are the whole
cause of it. They drove on those
prairies thousands OF long, lean, haif-
starved cattle and completely tram
pied it out, root and all; not only
killed the grass, but trampled the
ground, until water runs off almost as
fast as it falls. Consequently, there
being no vegetation to retain the
moisture, the ground dries out. max

build damSp and import a few white

Simply Bosh

Our good friend, s. P. Gibson, of
Star, Neb., allows his enthusiasm to
get the better of his judgment, and
writes The Independent as follows:
Answers to questions: How long
takes 100000 men less than 800 days.
There are always million out Of
work. Won't join that bunco game,
eh! When you are called to see
sick friend 1000 miles off; fare $50,
please. We will apply SIS on your re-
ceipt, $l5 on some poor mans note:
then you can go home free. For one
year the dividend and interest and
profit on railroad, coal and lumber is
over 850,000,000. Then couple hun
dred million more on your grain and
cattle. We will apply al that to pay
notes, etc. Will start building when
$15,O0O,000 is subscribed: build lum-
Der, coal and wood and grain road
north and south and into Alaska. AS
to you taking a share or giving and
paying note we have dead cinch
on you in the above items ~
S. P. GIBSON.
But WHEN will. the fifteen millions
be subscribed? There is no doubt
that half million men might build
an immense amount of railroad in two
or three years, but such work re-
quires organization; and organiza-
tion costs time and money. 1t would
simply be an economic waste to du-
plicate the present railroads. Why not
take them? 1t would be much easier.

There has been a growing senti-
ment in the north to allow the south
to settle the negro question without
interference. If there are many oc-
currences in the south like that in
which a raid was made on the COL
ored people Of Joplin, Mo-, there will
be change, and a very radical one,
in northern sentiment. The Klu
klux Klan was the cause Of more
suffering to the whites in the south
than anything that has happened
since the war. This Joplin business
seems to be even worse, SO far as it
goes, than the silly movement of the
radical southerners who organized
that klan. The best men of the
south are all opposed to such things
as these raids on unoffending negroes.
but they must let their power be felt.
The property of negroes must not be
destroyed and they driven penniless
and hopeless from one place to an.
other. Such acts as that, If they go
unpunished, will soon make a race
problem" that will involve the whole
country.

the RANGE FENCES
Col. Mosby was Called Home and tho In
teeior Department has Forgotten
the Whole Matter

Last winter there was a great
"hoodoo" about the fencing in of the
government land by the big cattlemen
and the exclusion of homesteaders.
The fake homesteaders were to be
prosecuted and the fences were to be
taken down. The cattle barons went
to Washington, applied the proper
amount of oil, and everything has
been running smoothly since. No
fences were taken down and a corre-
spondent informs The Independent
that new ones are being built. w. A.
Drumond of Carmargo, Okl., has late
ly written to the Kansas City Star a
letter on the subject He says:
ut is too all-fired bad, isn't it, that
the government won't give these poor.

inst. a special from Washington, d.
c., March 8, that the plans are made
for sending powerful battleship
squadron into European waters next
May with the most friendly intention,
and that it is proposed to forcibly de-
monstrate the ability of the govern
ment to carry war to the doors of
any country in Europe and to prove
this in emphatic style. the port of
Lisbon, Portugal, is to be blockaded.
Portugal is selected for It's being so
uniquely situated, and that the United
States would not become involved in
war with that country is we'll recog-
nized. Representations will be made
that will prevent any Portuguese sus-
picions Of an ulterior motive, and that
Rear Admiral Baker. who will COM
mand the fleet, will entertain the no.
bility and naval officers of Portugal
in lavish style on his flagship, and
visitors will be welcomed on all the
ships. The fleet will consist Of six
lrst class battleships, and probably
the second class battleship Texas;
the cruisers San Francisco and AL
bany, and golfers and supply ships.
And the fleet will proceed as though
war was actually on, while the opera
tions are intended as lesson to all
Europe. The naval department is es-
pecially anxious to let the kaiser see
Just what it's ships can do. That the
kaiser has regarded this as something
of boast; he is to be shown that it
is not.
What does this mean? First, with
the most friendly intentions "it is pro-
posed to forcibly demonstrate the
ability of the government to carry
war to the doors of any European
country in Europe" Second, the feet
will proceed as though war was act
ually on. while the operations are
intended as lesson to all Europe, the
navy department is especially anxious
to let the kaiser see just what it's
ships can do" If this is not boast,
1t must be considered daring.
Secretary of State Hay is probably
at the bottom of this scheme he is a
radical; If there is a project pertain
ing to any branch of our government
you will most likely find him mixed
in 1t in some way; his ambition seems
to exceed his ability.
noticed month or two ago in one
of our papers that Secretary of the
Navy Root stated that war was
inevitable, or words to this effect;
doubtful things are very uncertain. It
would not be very surprising to many
ii the secretary's predictions would be
realized. The kaiser might dispatch
his fleet to meet ours upon their re-
turn from Lisbon; then actual war
would be on. This would be greatly
deplored throughout our country and
would be charged to this naval junket
as a boyish action of our administra-
tion instead of wise craftsmanship.

"GlVING UP"
LIES Report ofa Recent Session of a Mil
Iionairs Sunday School

Honafro Sunday school
Now that the Rockefeller Temple
at the University of Nebraska is a
topic of general interest, the follow
ing skit from Life may not come
amiss. 1t was doubtless at this ses-
sion of the millionaires' Sunday school
that the American Beauty rose illus
traiion was used with such telling
effect. Giving Up," says Life, was
the topic and Give and Make Others
Give the Golden Thought" The re-
port is:
Leader: You will notice that our
topic this morning is Giving Up,
which, we infer from the Scripture
lesson, means that we must give up
something in life. First, let me sug-
gest that we need not worry with
the argument of the Nazarene, that it.
is easier for camel to pass through
the eye of a needle than it is for a
rich man to enter the kingdom of
heaven; the comparison is not well
drawn, for all depends upon the size
Of the needle and the camel. He also
mentions that we should give all we
have to the poor, but we know that
it would be simply folly to consider
that literally. If the lSazarene lived
today and should happen to be presi-
dent of an oil company, and should
attempt to do business on those lines,
He would soon go to the wall. (Unani-
nous assent from the class.)
These injunctions must be taken
practically. We naturally desire few
shares of the future life, therefore we
know that it is business to give up
that will extend our influ-
ence with the Creator of all natural
one who made the uni
verse of trusts, each of which He
holds in the hollow of His hand. The
question is: What will be the easiest
service for us? Giving!
Now we come to the underlying
thought. The command to give is
virtually a command to get, for we
cannot give unless we first get some
thing to give. How shall we get it
to give? From the people! This will
be a twofold work: When we get it
from other people that we may give
up, We will be making them give up,
too, and they unconsciously will be
saving their souls. Pc,
| should like to have an expression
from a number of the class as to how
we can arrange to give up something
according to these principles. AS for
4 have advanced the price of
oil two cents on the gallcn, and at
the end of the year I not only will
have made others give, up, but will
have gotten enough extra profit to en-
able me to. give few hundred thou
sands to a university.
Coal Operator: / can easily cut
miners wages and clear enough to
endow charities to help the poor buy
fuel.
Head of Beef Trust: I can fix the
prices of beef and other meats and
