LAND LAWS AND HoMessekes.

kANU LAWS ANU nUMeSekkeS.
Senator Gibson. OF Montana, in the
October number of Forestry and Irn-
cation vigorously attacks the western
land laws under which he claims that
nothing short of downright injustice is
being done to millions of homeseekers.
It Is contended by Senator Gibson
that the desert land act and the COM
mutation clause of the homestead act,
now in force. were never demanded by
actual settlers. but were enacted at the
behest of SPECTATORS and of individu-
ais and corporations seeking to own
and control large tracts OF land for
grazing purposes. One strong objection
to the desert lard act is that 1t does
not compel residence on the land. thus
permitting the Spectator to employ
agents to take UP the land in his in
terest.
Senator Gibson shows that in the six
years ending ON June 30, 1908, the gov
eminent parted with eighty-six mill
ion acres of public lands-nearly one
half OF this vast area having been
taken during the last two years. In
the Great Falls land district OF Mon
tana one thousand desert land entries
were made during the eleven months
ending on June 80, and most OF these
entries, 1T is charged, were made In
the interest of men who will never
make homes upon the lands in ques-
ton.
ANY doubt that the desert land law
Facilitates acauiremen. of land from
the nation in large tracts by individu-
ais and companies" the senator con-
tinues. IS dispelled by the clause
adopted on March 3. 1891. making 1t
lawful for a person. after entry, to as
sign his desert claim TO another per-
son. II will be readily seen how DIFF
ficuht it must be for the government
endeavoring to detect fraud, to deter
mine IL an agreement to sell the desert
lard Claim was made by the entry man
before fling it.
Since the enactment OF the desert
land law immense tracts OF land have
been taken UP and patented, upon
which large crops OF hay and grain
are annually grown without irriga-
ton. and in many places today little
or no attention is paid 10 the require
ments Of the Jaw as to the character OF
lands upon which desert land filings
are made. and to the reclamation of
lands that are desert in character. One
would think. after reading the last an
nuai report on the public lands by the
secretary of the interior. that high
water mark In the exercise OF land
frauds had been reached under the
timber and stone act. but in my opin-
ion greater frauds are now being COM
mitted under the desert land act in the
arid states than under all other land
acts combined"

A Remarkable Case.

STRIKES PEACEFULLY CONDUCTED.

In his recently published book. "Or-
kanized Labor" Mr.. John Mitchell an
nounces a principle which will find
ready acceptance with the public when
he says
Better the strike be lost than that
i succeed thru violence and the COM
massion OF outrages. sThe cause
Of undonism is not lost thru any strike
or thru any number Of strikes. and II
II were true that all strikes would fail
IL physical force could not be resorted
to, II would be better to demonstrate
that fact and to seek remedy in other
directions than to permit strikes to de-
generate into conflicts between armed
men. Il it be shown that strikes can
not be won without violence, then 1t
will be necessary to secure reforms for
workingmen exclusively thru political
action. Just as In actual war
the contestants under penalty OF for
1eiting the sympathy OF all nations. are
compelled to govern themselves by bhe
llrinci ples Of International law pre-
scribing the rights OF combatants and
of non conibatantR 80 the two parties
engaged in strike must abide scrupu-
lousy by the provisions Of the law. A
aItrike or a lockout Is coercion, but 1t
ID lawful. whereas resort to physical
lbrce is both immoral and unlawful"
There is nothing in all this that is
not fair and comrnendable. Few have
denied the right OF workmen to strike
--to leave present employment and
seek another situation individually or
collectively. 1t is the assumption that
,io other workman shall take up the
work where the strikers laid 1t down
which has earned most Of the criticism
ind condemnation, accorded organized
labor by the public. II q strike may
lie conducted as Mr.. Mitchell declares
* may without violence and lawless-
liess the people will bear with more
s.quaninity the discomforts, losses and
innumerable aggravajtions which q
general strike entails upon non-com-
i5atants.
But can strikes be conducted peacea-
ibly? Mr.. Mitchells principle OF mod
grafton as an abstract proposition is
absolutely correct and reasonable, but
under the stress of passions aroused by
conflict principles are forgotten and
passion prevails. It IL doubtful IL a
general strike may be conducted with
out violence and riot. All strikers are
not Mitohells. There Will always be
We vicious and ,lnreasondng to coun-
sA and commit lawlessnesss and the
workinxman who sees his means of
subsistence slipping away from him at
the end of failing strike will always
be q receptive listener to the sugges-
tion OF reprisal. Passion and resent
ment are hard to control by argument
and anger makes, mobs OF organiza-
lions. This Is rot confined to labor

A New ParIor Game.

A descriptive party" is new
diversion. 1t serves to amuse almost
any number of persons and to call
forth originality and cleverness. The
game consists in the hostess dis
tributing pads of paper and pencils,
and instructing the players to write
a short character sketch of any per-
son in the room. mentioning no
names. The articles are then read
aloud. and endless fun is caused by
the attempts to identify the subject
of the sketch.
Tho amusement affords field for
verse as well as prose. and it is var
led by having those who can't draw
at all make alleged sketches of the
victim they have in mind. 1t might
be thought these pictures would
throw no light on the identity of the
subject, but 1t will be found that the
artist often will put in some striking
adjunct to the picture that will make
it effective for the discovery of the
victim.

Rock Wrecks a Home.

The residence of w. T. Booth, which
was situated on the side of high
mountain in Mercer county. w. Va.
was wrecked recently, and several
members of the family were badly
bruised, says a Roanoke (Va.) dis
patch to the Baltimore American.
That they all were not killed is almost
a miracle. An immense rock near the
summit of the mountain. several hun
dred feet above the house, broke
loose from its foundation and rolled
down the mountain side at terrific
speed, carrying other rocks and trees
with it, against Booths house. The
inmates of the house awoke to find
themselves being hurled from their
beds with great force. The house was
carried to the valley below, and the
building and furniture was reduced to
kindling wood.

A country minister, according to this
story. arose one Sunday morning to
preach upon the text. Thou art
weighed and found wanting" 1t was
a good text. 1t inspired the minister.
He preached for an hour. and there
was still much for him to say.
But his congregation did not relish
so long sermon. The males. one by
one. began to get out quietly. and the
women. as they departed. regarded
one another with scandalized eyes.
But the minister droned on, coming
back again and again to his text.

flock. Finally. though. four men arose
together and started on tiptoe down

CREMATION OF THE DEAD.
New York Newspaper Gives Reason
for Its Adoption.

Cremation merely reaches In a
shorter period the same final result as
burial, says Municipal Affairs. Fleshy
parts of the corpse decompose in the
earth in five or ten years; during the
whole period of decomposition they
constitute nothing but a putrid mass
of carrion. Bones which take CEN
turtles to crumble are unceremoniously
carted from one cemetery to another
when necessity compels their removal
and increase the horror of death after
they have ceased to be identified and
claimed. If they are converted, with
the flesh, into ashes in one hour they
are insured against desecration. The
volume and weight of bodies are re-
duced by the process of cremation
some 95 per cent.
II ashes were placed in the grave of
an urn cemetery. as occasionally Is
done. the dead would leave more room
for the living than their intact bodies
demand. Two hundred city lots are
now required to bury in the old fash
ioned way the seventy thousand per-
sons that annually die In Greater New
York. We probably could save more
than a hundred and fifty of these pre-
cious lots If ashes of the seventy thou

HOPE FOR THE BUFFALO.
Bison Still Far From Being
Extinct.

That the American bison is not so
near extinction as has been generally
supposed has been learned by agents
of the national government who made
thorough inquiry recently as to the
number Of pure bloods in existence.
The result of the investigation showed
that there is still some hope of per-
petuating the species, says the New
York Sun. Careful inquiries brought
out the fact that there are just 1,646
full-blood bison in the world.
The inquiry was extended to Europe.
as 1t was known that some of our
''buffaloes" had been shipped across
the Atlantic, and it was learned that
there are ia of the animals divided
among seven countries of Europe.
Germany heads the list with 60 and
England comes next with 34 Russia
has three and there are two in Hun
gary. Norway tried to get some. but
succeeded in obtaining only one hy-
brid. There is single American bison
in France and Holland has fourteen.
