made for the purposes of the act
that is, for residence and cultivation.
III former times many entries were
made for no other purpose than to de-
feat the very object of the law. If an
intending settler passed through the
country seeking a location and CHANGED
t. find one, in many cases he found
that the particular land he desired was
taken just before he was able to reach
the land office. Under the new order
of things every settler will prove an
advertisement for the state. Having
made good upon his claim. he will tell
other people and they too Will come.
Wyoming is deficient in advertising
matter. Every county in the state
should have n good pamphlet setting
forth its and advantages.
These pamphlets ought to be handled
by some agent at the state capital,
either in the governors office or else
where, whose duty would require him
to give the matter careful and prompt
attention.
Wyoming Is big enough to have IN
immigration office. 1t could be han
died in connection with one of the Of
fees already established, perhaps the
public land commissioner. In the very
nature of things the land commissioner
is compelled to give a great deal of
attention to immigration matters and
his office is piled with more queries
than the other state offices relating to
agricultural development. By handling
the matter in this way the additional
cost would not be great and the re
suits quite as good as through an indie
pendent and expensive state office.

KEPT PLEDGE MADE TO WIFE.

An Irish lawyer made a pledge to
his wife that he would partake of no
intoxicating liquor while engaged in
he trial of a case. Soon after he was
retained on an important trial in Dub
lin, and the court continued its DELHI
erations until such a late hour that
nearly every n connected with the
case found it advisable to take some
spirits to stimulate their energies. AL
though invited by his colleagues to
have something, the lawyer remem
bered his promise to his wife and re-
fused their repeated urgings. Final.
ly, when he explained his plight to
n of his legal friends, the latter
said: But you did not make a vow
against eating liquor, did your" When
assured that the pledge applied only
to drinking, the ingenious chum left
the court room and soon returned with
a plate of fresh rolls. The center Of
each roll had been scraped out and
filled with good whisky.

BEST PRODUCT OF THE FARM.

Governor Bell of Vermont is right.
In his address delivered in the opening
session of the National Grange, he said
that the boys and girls reared in the
country were the principal product OF
the farms; and while he spoke espec-
tally of Vermont, his remarks were ap-
plicable to the whole country.
The history of this country testihes
in the most convincing way that its
wonderful progress and its great
achievements are due in a large degree
to the men who were born on the
farms, and from those rural homes
took with them to the cities the habits
of industry acquired in early youth.
Country boys are taught to work until
industry becomes a habit: and it is
the most valuable lesson they ever
learn. the most important factor in
their subsequent success.
We hear much about the drift from
the country into the cities, and about
lHt ltluSNdhIt VI bogS W lIIidlh vi
the farms. If we consider merely the
happiness of the individuals, We may
for their sake regret the resolution
which takes them away from the peace
and %seclusion of country life; but in a
large measure 1t has been the salvation
of this country that these ambitious
boys have moved into those centers
of population where the strong win
L. is a blessing to the American people
that in nearly every walk of life many
OF the leaders, many of those who
shape the course of events, gained their
earliest training on the farm.
We talk much of our great crops of
wheat and of the millions of acres of
corn, Of the enormous product of cot
ton, and of whatever else our agricul-
tur yields for the food or the clothing
of the world; but there is nothing
that the farming communities produce
and contribute to the nation which is
of one-half so much value as the SPLEEN
did men and noble women who, born
and reared on the farm, are trusted
guardians of their country's future

SCHMITZ GONE o

When a man is constantly pushing
himself as a friend Of the down-trodden
working nan and is also constantly
making a mighty good thing out of his
extreme sympathy for the poor, it is
we'll to keep an eye on him. Mayor
Schmitz of San Francisco was Just
bubbling over with his loyalty to the
workingman and the poor and needy.
Nothing that he could do was too much.
Now he has been indicted for graft
ing and he is also charged with steal.
Ing money from the funds contributed
toward the relief of San Francisco's
earthquake sufferers. Could any act
be more contemplate? A howl of
righteous indignation went up when
h people learned that the officials of
the New York insurance companies
were robbing the widows and orphans
of the country right and left, but this
was not to be compared with the rob-
berry of people rendered destitute by a
great calamity such as that which laid
waste the beautiful city of San Fran
cisco. The mayor is charged with in.
vesting large sums in oriental rugs and
the people are asking pointed ques.
tons as to where he got the money.
One would think that a man with his
mind charged with all sorts of social.
istic doctrines calculated to relieve the
srfferings of the poor would be above
stealing from them, but hypocrisy
stalks abroad in the land and those
who pretend to be our best friends are
quite frequently our most bitter enc
mics.
