CITIZENSHIP AND THE LAW.

No citizen can continue to be q
violator OF the law without losing his
character and h is rank as good citi-
zen. No less is it true that no officer
can continue to fagrantly violate his
oath of office without loss of charac-
ter, and especially is this so when he
receives-politically or otherwise -
compensation by so doing. Likewise,
no community, large or small, can
long permit its citizens to violate the
laws, or its officers to violate their
oaths of office, without there being a
loss of character therein and general
lowering of the public morals as well
as of private character. II all citizens
could or would realize these facts,
they certainly would not be indiffer-
ent to the obedience and enforcement
of law. 1t is very easy for many So
called good citizens-and they really
think they are among the best citi-
zens-to say that they are "liberaP'
about certain laws. This simply
means that there are some laws on
the statute books which they think
should not be there, and hence they
are willing that they and Others should
violate them. There are others who
are "liberal" about laws pertaining to
their own particular business and
think they should violate them, and
they do; and there are those OF still
another class who may think the laws
relating to other persons property
laws against what is commonly called
stealing-are wrong, and so on.
Every patriotic and honest citizen
must admit that all the laws on the
statute books of the State should be
obeyed and enforced; no one citizen
has more right than any other to
select what he will obey and what he
will not obey.
Lincoln said that reverence for law
would. be the religion OF the naticn."
This was but a strong way Of express
ing his idea upon the subject OF law
enforcement. All Christian people,
irrespective Of sect or creed, should be
in favor of law and order and should
be opposed to lawlessness.-The Citi-
| zen.

LANDS INCREASE IN VALUE.

S. o. Dunn, an authority on the
proper use OF land and its value, has
written an interesting article for the
Spokesman Review under the head,
EARN Lands Make Men Rich" The
following extract is illustrative OF the
increase in value of farming lands in
the country Immediately surrounding
Ritzville, and the accumulative wealth
OF Adams county:
"Land may fuctuate in value as
times alternately become good or
bad, but, unlike other forms OF wealth
it will not take unto itself wings and
fly away, and experience shows that
it almost invariably will be worth
more at the end of period of fiuctua-
ton than it was at its beginning.
improvements will add to its value,
but in the long run its value usually
will increase without them. What it
lie worth depends less upon what is
done with it than upon what goes on
around it-less upon the enterprise
Of its owner than upon the progress OF
society. Where society is in a pro-
gressive state, with industry expand
ing and population growing, the owner
OF land may get rich, though he never
turn a furrow or build shanty upon
it. Of course, he must cultivate or
rent or otherwise utilize his property
to realize on his Investment, but
meantime, whether he does anything
or nothing with it, the price for which
he could sell it grows. Time is on
his side and works for him with in
siduous industry.
&" What the Westminsters, Astors
and others have done on big scale
in large cities many thousands OF men
have done and are doing in the agri-
cultural parts OF the United States on
a small scale. Every farming com
munity contains men who have got
we'll fixed simply by settling on OF
buying land when it could be bought
cheap and holding to it while, owing
to the growth of industry and popula-
ton, it has risen in value. To buy
land at from $1.25 to So or $40 pei
acre and keep it until after twenty Oh
twenty-five years it is worth $50, OIL
$3.50, or 5000 an acre is as simple 6
process of acquiring wealth as could
be imagined"

The Odessa Record says it is stated
on good authority that there are peo-
pie in Odessa who solicit orders for a
big eastern merchandise house for the
sake of getting presents offered by
that firm. The fact came out through
one OF the patrons getting stuck good
and hard. OF course it's anyone's
privilege to spend their money as they
choose, but it is rather shortsigh,ed
policy to send money out of the coun-
try when, so far as they are concerned,
it goes out of its field of usefulness for
ever. Give home merchants a chance.
