Mr.. Lang has long been known as a man

pen has never been too busy to pay tribute, in
or out Of season, to one who has indeed. not only
his admiration but his grateful affection. In
word, Mr.. Lang loves Walter Scott, and he has
shown this so often that there ought not to be
anything surprising in his having written an
ideal monograph on the great romancer Yet
this little book really seems almost too good to
be true; it is so sympathetic, so we'll written. so
altogether suited to the occasion. The occasion.

SUNDAY, MARCH IS, 1906.

The troubles of the modern book buyer are
never ended. Somewhere in some way or
other, his feelings are always being hurt The
latest plant is raised by a correspondent OF
1.-The London Academy" who is disguised at
the practice Of issuing novels at a uniform
price, irrespective Of quality or contents" In
illustration he cites three new stories by Bea-
trice Harraden Maxwell Gray and Eden PHIL
potts. It seems that the book by the first Of
these writers runs to only some 6532 lines,
where Maxwell Gray gives her readers about
1916 lines, and Mr.. Phillpotts layishes upon
his appreciative public something like 1860
lines The disgTuntled correspondent wants to
know why the public should be asked to pay
the same price for 5000 of Miss Harraden's
lines as for $4,000 by Mr. Phillpotts- Without
going into the merits Of this particular case
we may nevertheless express sympathy with
the inquirer. 1t is quite true that where fc-
ton is really good, no rational person would
quarrel because he received small measure for
his money. But we have never been able to
understand the publication q novel, at the
usual price of 4 full fedged novel, Of the sort
Of thing that is only to be described as a long
short story. This has been done too often on
the strength of the authors name the pub
Usher assuming that a writer of best sellers"
does not need to look to questions Of scale in
preparing his wares for the market 1t is
only the great writer who can legitmately set
an arbitrary price upon his work.

HOMESTEAD RULES
MADE MORE RIGID
Secretary of interior Will Insist
on Eight Months Actual
Y, Residence. T.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, April 2.-secretary
Hitchcock has put ali homesteaders on
the public lands on notice, that, if they
intend to commute their entries, they
must remain upon the land continuously
during eight months of the fourteen.
Three decisions have been handed
down by the secretary in the. past
kota, another from Nebraska, and the
third from Oklahoma. In all three
cases the entrymen had offered proof
| with their applications to commute,
which was deemed insufficient as to
residence, by the commissioner of the
general land office, whose opinion was
sustained by the secretary.
Under the practice Of the interior de-
partment, a homesteader may take six
months to establish constructive resi-
dence on the land covered by his appli-
cation-that is, he may take that length
of time to 90 upon the land and build
| his house and start cultivation. The
Communication period is fourteen months
from the date of entry, when the entry
man, upon paying $l.25 an acre for his
holdings, and submitting satisfactory
proof Of residence during that period,
may receive a patent for the land COW
Dered by his entry.
The secretary is very positive in hold
ing that the last eight months of the
communication period shall be those Of ac-
tual residence. On this point he says
that in communication cases the law not
! only requires that it shall clearly and
satisfactorily appear from the proof
that the bona fde residence was estab-
lished within the six months from the
date Of the entry, but also that the ac-
tual residence upon the land has been
continuous from the time it was estab.
lished until the date Of the making of
final proof.
In the cases recently decided, the
proof is rejected without prejudice
which means that the entrymen are
privileged to 90 back upon the land
and establish residence and otherwise
comply with the law at any time within
the FIVE year life Of the entry
It is expected that, when these de
cisions gain wider circulation in tht
public land states, there will be gen
eral compliance with the law, or else
lot of homesteads will be relinquished
Developments along this line are looked
: for along the extension Of the Milwau
| kee railroad from Evarts, S. D., to Seat
/ tie, where the local land officers hav,
been kept busy in recent months receiv
ing homestead entries.

such manner as to make it prac-

Now, brother, when a man is
nominated by the Socialists for
any office, he signs a resignation
of the Office, to take effect at the
will of the party, and when they
are in power they will enact a law
instituting the imperative man
date or power of recall; also direct
legislation. They practice these
things now within the party.
Even the national platform is not
operative until ratified by the rank
and file. No other party is so
democratic, and no other is inter-
national, and therefore none other
can have programme for the ad-
vancement of civilization and the
promotion of international peace.
I am a Socialist, and proud of
it, because Socialists are the most
democratic. In fact Socialism is
democracy in industry"
