side OF the matter printed.
Without speaking of the many
years which most of us have spent
on our sand hill ranches; years of
hardships for ourselves and our
families, we will say that it is
generally known and understood
throughout Nebraska, anyway,
that the sand hill country, and
the larger part of western Ne
braska i'll general, is NOT a farm
ing land, but is essentially graz
ing country. 1t is generally
known and understood that in
that country it requires 20 acres
for every head of stock to Craze
upon, and that one who devotes
his time to farming alone, stands
nightly little chance Of getting
enough to eat.
We are not defending the cat
tlemen for fencing the ranges,
although we believe they had
good reasons for doing so. The
greater portion of the range
was fenced, not by the large cat
tie raisers, but by the small ones.
1t is also true that these fences
are all now either removed or. are
being removed rapidly.
But in removing these fences
the small cattle man; sees ruin
staring him in the face. 1t is
! the greatest menace which has
ever threatened the live stock
industry of Nebraska. The stu
alton is indeed different from that
in other states where the land
can be used for farming, but in
the sand hills, where there can
be nothing but grazing, the re-
moval of The fences will, in the
opinion of the small cattle raisers,
simply force them out Of business.
AtSthe same time the cattle
raisefs know that it is impossible
to continue under the present
system, and all are in favor OF
some kind of a leasing bill. AL
most to a man, the small cattle
raisers Of the state will support
President Roosevelt in any kind
of a leasing proposition which
will insure the stability of the
business. They are willing to
pay for the use of the range, and
they call attention to the fact
that the state of Nebraska has
no trouble leasing the schoo
lands and making money from
them, while tle government gets
not cent, at present from the
school domains. The homestead
law was good. but it was made
for farming country. Let some
kind of leasing law be ma le
especially for this grazing count.
ry-and let it be made, not by the
politicians, but by business men
1t can be made and carried out
under the supervision of the land
department OF the government
which department can see tha'
its tenents are strictly adhered
to.
The cattle men are willing t
agree on any reasonable PROPOSE
ton which can be brought for
ward in the way of a leasing
proposition.

Editor REPUBLICAN;
The small cattle raisers Of Ne
braska feel that they have been
very much maligned and misrep-
resented by newspaper articles
which have been printed all over
the country in the past year or
so; articles which have treated
of only one side of the question
of land fencing and land leasing.
But there is another side, and the

urging him to speak the truth. the whole truth
The Judgment of the Court of Cessation is
based on the fact that the bordereau was
wrongly attributed to Dreyfus. There could
be no doubt on this point after the statement
made by Esterhazy. Will you let it be said
that Dreyfus is an innocent man, that you had
him convicted Oh a forgery, and that you are
therefore an impostor? You must tell every
thing. because you we'll know that Esterhazy
was not paid 20 lie. You must state that the
bordereau is not forgery. but. as Esterhazy

Berlin. July 1.-THE efforts Of the Social
Democratic instructors in the private gymnastic
clubs TO influence their pupils have induced the
Minister OF Public instruction. Herr Won Studt.
TO call attention in circular letter to the min
isterial Instructions Of 1884 and 1889. providing
that only persons of moral qualities shall give
mental and physical training. The minister said
that those qualities did not exist among the
members Of the Social Democracy, as the aims
Of the party were in opposition to the founda-
tions of the state and the task Of the schools
namely 10 teach the children TO respect the laws
and religion and TO love the fatherland and the
royaI family and therefore not a single Social
Democrat would be allowed To give instructions.
