SPRING CLEANING NOW.

Besides able and sound political
matter, the editorial columns Of the
Milwaukee journal daily contain ex-
cellent articles on various matters OF
everyday life. Here Is what the
journal says upon n matter which Is
OF preseLt concern to householdcrs
everywhere:
at Is about cleaning house time.
Bare and dreary as IL now LOOKS,
spring days are speeding swiftly on
their way Soon we shall JOY in the
song OF birds and the sight Of green
ing grass and swelling buds on the
trees. Let us make bright and cheer
full our homes and yards that they
may be in harmony with the fresh lite
and beauty Of the outer world close at
hand. And we should not stop at the
house and yard. Street, sidewalks
and alley need to be cleared Of the
winters accumulation. This cannot
be left wholly to the city. Let each
man do his part first, then II the city
Is negligent, let him remind the
authorities OF that which needs atten-
ton. No street Is 80 remote, no alley
SO obscure, thai someone does not
pass that way, Make II attractive for
the few and more will be tempted that
way. Do not allow old wire, broken
crockery and bottles, old shoes, or
any sort Of rubbish TO remain about
your premises. The more dilapidated
your neighborhood, the more need for
you TO make u strong effort for clean
liness. Cleanliness has moral Of
feet on the character M well as on the
sanitary condition Of the body, A
familiar old proverb Is Cleanliness
Is next to goodness, and he who
makes himself aud things about him
clean, Is stepping heavenward.
However poor or hnmble your
house, let IL have "spruced up" air
to make glad the spring. What mat
tor II the yard Is not yours? You
live there and II Is one OF tho environ
ments OF your family having influence
character. Suppose there are forty
other families In your block of flats;
let your cleanliness be conspicuous
and be IN influence leading others to
follow your example. Cleanly sur
roundings add to cheerfulness. Let us
ns all clean up and begin now

valuable law now in force and fully
seventy five per cent of the eutrirs
made are passing to iinal proof. Al
least that is the case in this particu
lar land district. Not one third OF
the homestead entries e-er reach lin
al proof, At least that is the case
in this particular land district,
One hundred and sixty acres If
land is not enough upon which to
support IA family, unless the same
is susceptible of high cultivation. and
the desert land law affords an oppor-
tunity for a family to control suif
cient land upon which to make II liv-
ing. 1t may be fenced and improved
in various ways, and if the claimant
is industrious in its reclamation, he
can make it very valuable.
By having control of sufficient
land to maintain his family, "A claim
ant is not compelled to resort to the
shotgun policy of holding land and
fights with neighbors are avoided.
Under the present regulations one
person cannot secure title To more
than to 800 acres of government
land. If "A person owns more tina II
100 acres of land in any state or
territory, the benefit of the home,
stead law is denied him, and if a
claimant owns a homestead of 1850
acres a desert entry of only 100 acres
is allowed.
The law is all right. That dishon.
est men p%erjure themselves and ac.
quire title to government land iIleg.

son why it should be repealed.

Changing the Land Laws.
The irrigation congress which has
just completed its labors in Ogden
did well in refusing to adopt ii reso.
luton calling on congress to repeaI
the desert land act, and the acts au.
thorizing the location OF timber and
stone claims.
A great effort has been made to i'll.
duce congress to repeal these acts, il
being claimed that gross frauds have
been committed under them.
While no doubt fraud has i'll many
cases been committed, it does not
follow that on that account the laws
in question should be repealed
There is likely to he fraud of some
kind in connection with nearly every
act Of this kind, but it is improbable
that these frauds will he so gross u
extensive that the public will be out
~rageously imposed upon and injured
The number of acres acquired by
fraud will at the most be small in
comparison with that which is hon.
estly acquired.

THERE is an increasing tendency on
the part of wide-awake newspaper
men to become independent in poll
tics. This does not necessarily i'm
ply that they have in the least chang
ed their political views, but it does
indicate that they do not propose to
be bound to the party wheel any
longer. and compelled, whether or no,
to support all that it may put forth
in its platforms, or to shout for avery
candidate nominated, good n bad.
A partisan journal is, in IA great mea'
sure, expected to give unt1inching al
legiance to the organization IT be-
longs to, let it be right n wrong, and
for that reason its arguments have
less weight than those of an indie.
pendent organ. We know whereof
we speak when we say that are sever
al papers iu the state of Wyoming
which are seriously considering the
question of becoming non partisan.
for the tendency of the present times
is in the direction of more freedom
for the press.
