MONOPOLIZING PUBLIC LAND.
Extract from Speech of Hon. Paris Gibson, OF
Montana, in United States Senate,
Thursday, March Is, 1904.

Under land acts created in the interest of
capital and not in the interest of the settler,
vast bodies OF land are owned by individuals,
even in such states as Illinois, Minnesota and
the Dakolas, and these lands are cultivated by
tenants, the most of whom will never become
freeholders. But by far the lergest land hold
ings by single individuals and companies are
found in the arid states. These have been &C
quired to great extent directly from the states
or the nation, and the work of monopolizing
the public lands is still going on at an appall-
ing rate Single individuals and single foreign
companies are said each to own from 1 ,ooo, 900
TO d. 900 900 acres of land in some of the arid
states, while it is a common occurrence for one
man or company to acquire directly ilom our
government, under our present land laws, tracts
of land from 10 900 to 10000 acres, and upon
many of these great ranches it is an unwritten
law that the pillow shall not be used, the owners
of these pastoral estates preferring to hold them
in the same condition as the Indian and the
buffalo LETT them.

KANSAS AFTER GARFIELD.

The Kansas senate adopted set of concur
rent resolutions expressing displeasure with the
beeftrust report made by James R. Garfield
commissioner of corporations. The resou-
tons request "the president of the United
States to reject this alleged report, which seems
to have been inspired by the beef trust itself,
and appoint some man with experience, indie.
pendence and nerve that will qualify him for
the task of investigating this gang of CONNECT
cial highwaymen."
Mr. Garfield made great buster and blow,
some time since, about how he was going to
"put the fxins" to the trusts, and the hrst
chance he got to do something, he lay down
and let the beef trust walk all over him. II
Mr.. Garfield can do no better he should resign
and make for some man who knows how and
has the 'sand" to do things.

Caught a bad Man"

About a month ago, j. w. .Aldridge,
deputy sheriff of kincaid, received a let
ter from Sheriff Humphreys, of Taylor
county, Iowa, to look out for one Cliff
Godbv, whose parents live in the vein
ity of Kincaid also to be careful, as he
was desperate character, having been
a COW boy in Wyoming, and would not
hesitate to shoot il he had the oppor'
tunitv.
MrAldridge was on the ale aud soon
learned that his man was in the county,
and so notified the Iowa sheriff, WHO. in
turn, wrote Sheriff Wvcoff that he would
get requisition papers and have Governor
Hoch send the warrant direct to him
Sheriff Wycohl received the papers about
a week ago
Last SUNDAY, about 80 o'clock, SHEER
III Wycoff received a telephone message
from Adridge, stating that the man was
seen near home the day before so the
Sheriff went to Kincaid. and, Monday
morning, about O'Clock, he, with three
deputics-J. ". Aldridge, Lee Hunsickcr
and Harry Rieber-- went to the house.
The Sheriff. placed the deputies around
the house and he went in and demanded
the prisoner to be brought ont. The
father denied that his sou was there,
but when the Sheriff begun to make a
search the fellow jumped out OF the
window and ran And then the real fun
began. Godby was ordered to halt, but
he only ran tie faster. However, the
swiftness of the deputies and a bttle
gun play brought the fellow to 'taw'
after running about mile and hall
He was handcuffed and brought to Gar
nett and locked up in Jail to await the
arrival OF the sheriff from Iowa.

A Dangerous Experiment.
From the Pittsburg Kansan.

From the Pittsburg Kansau.
Socialism is a dangerous thing to tamper
with. 1t is an especially bad thing for party
which has been spending all its time for the
past ten OF fifteen years fighting and downing
Socialism. The serious objection to the state
refinery law is the precedent it sets. 1t takes
down the bars of safety and sanity and tells
Socialism to walk in and make itself at home.
Kansas City Journal.
And the chief danger of it all lies in the
possibility of this refinery being success.
In that case, it would forever dispel the illu-
sion which not only the Republican, but all
other "sane' parties have so carefully cult
waited that neither state or municipality is capa-
BILE of successfully conducting business, not
even in defence against the most grasping of
monopolies.
The Kansas City Journal is ''owned and op-
Grated" by the Standard Oil Company, and its
chief dread is that the state refinery may be a
success.
Whatever it and the combined trusts can do
to make the refinery failure will be done, for
the success of the oil refinery seals the doom
of monopolistic trusts in the entire United
States.

THE SIMPLE LIFE.

President Roosevelt claims to be and advo-
cate OF "the simple life" but his Inauguration
was attended by the greatest exhibition OF
pomp and glitter that was ever attempsed IN
this country. Nothing like it was ever seen
before. The nations of Europe are delighted
over it, as, they claim, it shows that the Unit
ed States is rapidly adopting the rites and fotms
of monarchial governments, and the indications
point to a change in our folm of government
The laborng people of the Old World are
compelled, by conditions, to live the simple
life Possibly President Roosevelt has refer
ence to the laboring classes when he advocates
living the 'smple life" Ii looks that way.

formerly chief Justice of the Kansas supreme
court, has been engaged by tine Standard Oil
Company to fight its battles in Kansas. We
are not surprised that the STANDARD people
should offer to retain him, for they employ only
the best of legal talent, but we are surprised
that he would sell his talent to the most heart.

If you haven't received the frstnumber OF Tom
Watson's Magazine, you are certainly the loser.
1t is one of the very best publications in the
United States, from every point OF view.
Doubtless, some think it is purely political
magazine, but that is mistake. 1t is family
magazine of high class. Its fiction is OF the
best-not of the blood and-thunder variety, but
pure, healthful and entertaining. The leading
article, on "The Political Situation" was
written by Tom Watson. 1t is masterpiece.
Another article" Franchise Wealth and Mu-
nicipal Ownership '-was written by John H.
Girdner M. D. 1t is timely article, replete
with historical fact on this subject. And there's
short "piece" by Tom P. Morgan (our Iom),
about "The Boy: His Hand and Pen" 1t is
short, but full of droll humor, just such as
Tom always writes-and it's we'll worth the
piice of the magazine. Another good thing
about this magazine is, it isn't filled up with
advertisements, but it is all meat-good, solid
reading. If you haven't seen copy, get yout
'pewsdealer to order one. Do it now.
