NEW REGULATION FOR
COMMITTING HoMESTEADS

The United States land Office has :e-
ceived an important order bearing up
on the Communication of homestead en-
tries. The order follows:
Communication proof offered under a
homestead entry made on or after No
vember /, 1907 will be rejected unless
it shows whereby that the entryman
has in good faith. actually resided up
on and cultivated the land embraced in
such entry for the full period of at
least ii months.
Where such Communication of proof
is offered under an entry made prior
TO November /, 1907, and it is salts
faetorily shown thereby that the entry
man had in good faith established q
residence ON the land within six
months from the date of the entry, he
may be credited with constructive resi-
dcnce from the date of his etry, pro
vided, it be also shown that such resi-
dence was in good faith maintained
for such period. as when added to the
period of constructive residence here
ing recognized, equals the full period
Of fourteen months residence required
by the homestead laws.
In no case can Communication proof
be accepted when it fails to show that
the required cultivation and construc-
tive residence required continue to the
date on which application for notice
of intention to make such proof WIS
fled.

CACTUS RANGE IS SCENE
OF A GOOD STAMPEDE
Big Rush is on to the East of Gold
fielc-Printer Boy is After
a Mill.

The Cactus range country is the
scene of the greatest rush at the pres
ent lime in the history of mining in
this section. The country to the east
of the Cactus Springs is the place for
which the greater portion of the min
ing men and prospectors are headed for
and the entire section is overrun. High
grade ore rock has been found that
runs in values and that is the attrac-
ton.
Since the find was made to the east
of Cactus those who did not get in
on the ground floor have been going
to the north on the range, and in and
around the Cactus Gold Mining com
pany's ground, which is the best de
veloped property in all of that section.
1t has been systematically developed,
and any kind of an assay could be
obtained from the picked samples, but
that was not what Manager Knott was
after. 1t was a body OF good ore that
it would pay to send to the smelters
or mills.
The recent developments show that
he will probably be beaten out for
the honor of being the first shipped
from this section. On the Printer Boy,
located one and a half miles from the
group to the north and "a little
the east, and which is controlled by
Thomas f. Barnes, four feet or ore
that assays at a depth of 80 feet at
the rate of $50 per ton has been en-
countered, and it is of the free milling
quality. The Printer 10y company has
decided to put in a small stamp mill.
and plenty of wafer has been develop
ed right on the acreage owned by the
company to supply It.

Of the Little Florence, ACCOMPANIED by
Martin Mcmahon and James Warner
went to the district yeterday and re
turned late last night. They were
loaded with samples that will be as
today. All three seem to be
favorably impressed with the show
ings of the new camp.-Goldfcld Trib-

LABOR AND CAPITAL.

Secretary Taft in common with all
thoughtful men recognize the impor.
lance OF the industrial question and
the relation or organized wealth. He
IS alive to the important part it will
play in the political game this year.
In his speech before the Order of
railway Conductors at Chicago on Sat
uiday last Secretary Taft said:
Men who control capital as men
WHO work for wages must combines;
combination of capital within the linn
ITS OF the law are necessary for bust
ness expediency and for cost reduc-
ton. And because of these combina
tlons among the employers the labor.
ing men must combine in order to
obtain that Importance to which they
are entitled.
Every man who understands recog-
nizes the lawful combination of the la.
boring men. Yet there is no DENYING
the fact that we must look forwad
10 a gigantic controversy between la
Dor and capital, hoping and trusting
that it will be settled peacefully. The
controversy when it comes will decide
once and for all how capital and labor
shall share the point profits which
they crate
Much as some would like to keep
TINS controversy out of politics it can
not be done. Organized wealth will
exert a tremendous power in the pre-,
sidential campaign either on one side
OF the other. Organized labor will do
likewise. The candidate who secures
the support of both will be fortunate.

What will finally be left of the primary
law after it's tail feathers are all plucked
by the supreme court is question. The
30 per cent clause has been split in two
pieces and that by divided court. The
Socialist party are now inquiring of the
court if they have any rights as party
to get their nominees on the ballot, while
on Saturday an action was started to
knock out the popular vote in the choice
of senators. That the latter is certainly
against the constitution of the United
States and the state constitution is about
as clear as language can read. Some day
some one will ask the supreme court to
rule on the constitutionality of law
that recognizes only two parties as posi-
bic in this state-and that only by name
without giving. limits or distinction
between either.

to sometimes disagree with the opinions
Of 90 august and learned body as tho

rather more lenient if they would take
into consideration that this writer early

not-that some two million or more
laymen, who had never studied law, re-
versed that decision. 1t is also fact
that in nearly every case where liberty
and human rights have been an issue
before the supreme courts of both this
and the mother country-that it has
seemed necessary for the common people
to set the courts right on these funda-
mental questions. Public sentiment is
the court of last resort-and not the
supreme court,-as naturally supposed
by these very young gentlemen.

.cAN HOLD CONVENTIONS. -

Some of them are scarcely worth con-
sidering, and the court will
not waste much time on them.
Such, for instance is the allegation that
the primary law violates that clause of
the state constitution which guarantees
to citizens the right to assemble in a
peaceable manner for any lawful pur-
pose-that is, to hold conventions. The
primary law does not forbid the holding
of conventions or caucuses. Some illogi.
cal people have asserted that it does, but
that is nonsense. II does say that the
convention shall no longer be the means
whereby candidates are placed in formal
nomination for political office, which is
very different thing.-Herald.
1t is not often that editor Davies of
the Herald talks pure nonsense, but the
above is the limit. "Can hold conven-
tions, but must not nominate officers
What in the dickens would be the use
of holding conventions? There's only
one similar piece of logic IN literature

darling daughter, but hang your clothes

PARTISANSHIP.

1t is the fashion of the present to de-
cry partisanship and assume that every
voter who votes with and for his party
is a sort of hide bound slave to party
bosses. Indeed to many it appears to
be a sort of disgrace to belong to party.
And yet this is government of parties
and always will be SO. Party means
principles. AS long as two or more per-
sons believe in similar principles, meth
DDS, or economics in government, they
will be and form party. They will act
together, they will organize to carry out
their principles and beliefs. This govern
ment without party would be failure.
Parties are the legitimate and healthy
growth ora republican form of govern
ment.
In 1856, thousands of boys from four
teen years old and upward donned oil
cloth capes and glazed caps, and
sh5uldering torches marched as "Wide-
awakes'' in the ranks of the new Re-
publican party and hurrahed for Fre-
mont & Dayton. That was certainly

extremes. A lot Of school-boys who

STRAIGHT CONFLICT.

While the constitution of the US. and
the state constitution each contain a
r lumber of articles which may be con.
strued as contrary to the primary law in
whole or in part, and particularly against
the selection of senatorial candidates by
popular vote, the following extracts seem
to be clear and distinct contradictions
State constitution, Sec. 21l.-Members
of the Legislature assembly **** * =
shall take and subscribe the following
oath and affirmation: II do solemnly
swear that will support the constitution
of the United States and the constitution
of the state of North Dakota; and that
l will faithfully discharge the duties OF
the Office ot---- according to
the best of my ability, so help me God,''
and NO OTHER OATH, DECLARATION, OR
TEST, SHALL BE REQUIRED as a qualifi-
cation for ANY OFFICE or public trust.
Primary law, Sec. 4-''The petitions OF
all candidates for members of the legis.
lature SHALL IN ADDITION TO THE RE.
QU1REMENTs hereinbefore provided con-
tain the folio wing pledge, VIII, the
undersigned X * 4 do obligate myself to
the people of the state of North Dakota
and to the people of my legislative dis
trict, that during my term of Office will

party of which am member, who has
received majority of such party votes
for that position at the primary election.

1t is perhaps true that the supreme
court may be able to reconcile these
seeming contradictions-but it is also
certain that less learned people would
not be able to do so.

BRYAN AS A PROPHET.

s'The Bible says that false prophets
shall rise. It tells how distinguish the
false from the true. By their fruits ye
shall know them" Bryan speech at
Baltimore, January, 1900
"If protection has slain it's thousands,
the gold standard has slain its tens Of
thousands" ''The Democratic party has
begun q war of extermination against
the gold standard. We ask no quarter,
we give no quarter. We shall continue
our warfare until there is not an Ameri-
can citizen who dares to advocate the
gold Standard "The gold standard is
a conspiracy against the human race"
"The future is written in blood crushed
out of you by gold" Bryan speeches of
1896.
''The fight this year will be to carry
out the sentiment of that song we have
SO oft repeated-"My country, 'Tis of
Thee" If we lose, our children and our
children's children will not succeed to
the spirit of that song, and celebrations
of the Fourth of July will pass away,
for the spirit of the empire will be upon
u.s." 81 would rather 60 down to eternal
oblivion than be instrumental in the
election of Roosevelt" president Roose-
velt stands for militarism.-The Re-
publicans are increasing the army and
relying on a riot of cartridges" ''The
present occupant of the White House

form the warlike spirit as contrasted
with the pacific policy that has hereto
fore charactized this nation.' 81 believe
to-day in the principles set forth at
Chicago and Kansas city, Q6 to y and
shall continue to fight for those princi-
pies; and I believe the fight will be
easier when we have rescued our country
from the dangers of imperialism, reduced
the army, and substituted the spirit of
peace for the spirit of war;" Bryan
speeches of 1904.
II have already reached the conclusion
that railroads partake SO much of the
nature of monopoly that they must
ultimately become public property, and
be managed by public officials in the in
terest of the whole community" ."An
increasing number of the members of all
parties see in public ownership the sure
remedy for determinations between per-
son and politics., and for extortionate
rates for earring freight and passengers" )"
Bryan home coming speech at New
York, August, 1905.
1t would be idle at this time to show
the fallacies of Mr.. Bryan as indicated
in the above extracts. In most cases
they are apparent to even a school boy.
They are repeated here that the older
ones "may not forget" and that the
younger ones may know what sort of a
prophet is again running for president.
He is the most conspicuous and total
failure as statesman and prophet the
