The somewhat startling Information

The somewhat startling information
comes from the West that the de
creased population in many communi-
ties can be traced directly to land
grabbers. Securing large acreage,
these corporations and individuals are
holding 1t at prices so high that young
men have been compelled to seek en-
ployment in the cities or emigrate to
Canada, where land is good and cheap.
This sort of thing has been the curse
of the West. When 1t began there
was no indication that 1t would reach
that point where it could affect the
population. But the drain commenced
then has been steadily increasing. and
the natural increase IN population has
been lost in the number OF emigrants.
When boys grew TO manhood and no
longer cared to remain at home they
found that they were unable to buy
the lands taken up by the grabbers

The present is what is called an on
year in politics. The President and
members of the national House of Rep
resentatives, besides the Governors of
about half the States, were chosen
last year. This year Governors are to
be elected in only seven States. and
in two of these they elect Governor
every year. In Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island no argument Of conven-
ience, experience or economy has yet
served to convince the people that the
Governor should hold Office for two or
four years instead of only one, and
they elect their chief magistrates next
November. In twenty-five States the
Governor has a four-year term. In
Nevada, Oregon, Virginia and Wyo-
ming, four-year States. and in Ohio, a
two-year State, Governors are also to
be chosen. Although September is the
usual month for State conventions,
both parties In Ohio made their nomi-
nations In June. The present Ohio
Governor Is a Republican, and tho
Governors Of Rhode Island and Wyo-
ming belong to the same party. In
the other four States DemOcr ITS hold
the chief Office. Considerably. interest

attempt to elect their entire State
ticket. Last year the Democrats I'M
expectedly elected their candidate for
Governor, although every other State
officer and the Legislature were Re-
publican. Next year will be of much
greater political Importance, as Gov
ernors are to be chosen in twenty-five
States and a new national House of
Representatives is to be elected The
voters then can pass their verdict on
the policies of the national administra-
ton and upon whatever political is
