FREAR'S STRAIGHT TALK
ON LAND AND SETTLERS
Land for Nothing for
All Bona Eide
Settlers.

Strongly advocating serious attention
and earnest consideration to the prob
lem Of securing for the development of
this Territory q class of small landed
proprietors and permanent labor eie-
Hment OF the citizen class, advising go
ing to Congress for a change in the
land laws and pointing out abuses Of
the present land system in these Is
lands, Governor Walter Francis FTear,
as guest of the Commercial Club, yes
terN1ay noon delivered a most interest
ing and important address to a large
number of representative business and
professional men, TO the following ef-
feet:
When honored by an invitation to
address you today I agreed to talk
only on the understanding that would
be allowed to take for my subject
very old matter. one which has for
long time been the cause Of discussion
in the public prints and among US ali,
matter SO old that everybody has
heard something of it and has had
something to say about it, and yet
matter which is of the utmost i'm
uportance to these Islands, to our main
Industry, the sugar industry, as well
sas to other industries which have Of
recent years been forging ahead, and
Therefore of intense interest, think,
TO US all.
THE old subject, then, upon which
I would like to speak is none other
zthan that of small farming and of our
growing diversified industries, the
question of whether we are going to
have the population of these Islands
made up of citizen class of small
d-proprietors. people who want to
make this their home, or a floating
alien element.
..At this time I DO not wish to go
into the details of the many difficulties
which confront us or whether these
difficulties are insuFmountable; l viii
not dwell on possible solutions of the
problem now.
II might well go into the description
of the many great attractions of Ha-
waii as a place of abode; 1 might be-
come enthusiastic in regard to our
climate and our soil. I might picture
the conditions when this country is
held by multitude of small farmers

be appointed to serve, both because
felt I had done all I was justified in
doing in justice to other claims upon
me, and also because I believed the
party would be benefited by change
in office, thus bringing in someone else
with new ideas and fresh energy for
the work. Some time ago urged Mr..
Waller to take the position but he alb
solutely declined to do so, but I am
now credibly Informed that responsible
men can be found who are willing to
accept the position, if appointed.
The party. after successive defeats,
won a substantial victory last election,
and its prospects for the future are
bright. The members of the party
elected to office have shown themselves
capable of giving responsible govern
ment. and there is no reason why the
success of last election should not be

the state acheapfuel supply. We
find on page COB Of the debates of
the constitutional convention,
the following proceedings:
Mr.. Williams moved to amend
Sec. 155 Of the constitution by
adding, at the end thereof, the fol-
lowing words:
The coal lands Of the state shall
never be sold, but the legislative
assembly may by general laws
provide for leasing the same. The
words coal lands shall include
lands bearing Ignite coal
Mr.. Williams said AT the pres
ent time these coal lands are re-
garded as not.possessing any great
value, but it is is a fact that they
are being bought up by syndicates,
and as a matter Of looking to the
future l think it would be we'll to
reserve these lands from sale in
order to protect the fuel supply,
and allow the state of the future to
lease them. It seems to me under
such rules and regulations as the
legislature may prescribe, it would
be wise to protect these lands and
allow the title to remain in the
state
Mr.. Williams amendment was
adopted, and the section as amend
ed was adopted.
The Homestead sincerely be-
lieves that should Mr.. Williams
prove to be the choice of the ma
jority Of the electors of the state,
his years Of experience in legisla-
tive matters, his long residence
here rendering him familiar with
the wants and needs of our people,
together with his general ability
and integrity, would render the
fair state of North Dakota an able
and honorable representations

Q. Inasmuch as national Inspection
and grading would. cover only grams
raised in one state and shipped into
another, or grains shipped from n
state 10 a foreign market, and Would
not include grains raised in a state
to be used wholly therein, the pres
ent number of inspectors could pc
greatly reduced.
There would be no difficulty IN
fixing grades. The department 0
naturally accept all present CONNER
cial grades and would, of course, mod
ify them only as experience demand
ed. The modification, therefore,
would be made without the slightest
injury to commercial contracts or in
terest.
4. The bill makes provision for
sales by samples and without the
use of grades where such may be
the custom or where any purchaser
desires to SO purchase. But Of course
all exports should be graded.
). The present charges for grad
ing and inspection range from 80
cents to IS cents per car. At 50
cents per car there would be raised
far more than sufficient to the
expense of government inspection and
could be reduced to about 20 or 30
cents per ear.
6. There are about eight species
of wheat raised in the United States,
each with its WI name and each
graded by numbers. The bill pro-
vides that such grades and species
should be recognized in the beginning
and should be modified only as ex-
perience should demand.

FRIDAY JANUARY "a, 1908.
THE QUESTION OF GRAIN GRAD.

Senator McCumber and other mem.
bers of cur congressional delegation
have been invited to attend the North
western Grain Growers convention at
Minot, but their official duties will
probably prevent their being present
note in this connection, though not
at tnat meeting. 1t is Interesting To
Senator McCumber is pressing his
bill for federal grain inspection, in
stead Of the present system of state
inspection, and a recent document is
sued out Of the senate of the United
States gives an interesting summary
Of the work that has been done to-
ward federal inspection.
To the farmer who is engaged in
the selling of grain and whose price
depends upon the details of inspec.
ton, the establishment Of grades, the
deduction of dockage and the other
things that enter into the business
of the barter and sale of grain, there
is no subject of more Importance,
and none which is of greater financial
moment than the system of grain in
speotion under which he disposes of
his grain. An arbitrary reduction of
grades, an unnecessary deduction of
dockage, these things means much in
dividual loss and enormous aggregate
loss to the farmers of the state. OBJ.
servers of the present system, accord
ing to the digest that has been issued
by Senator McCumber, state that the
loss to the whole state is in millions,
and that this sum comes from what
should be received by the farmers and
goes into the pockets of the benefic.
iaries of the present system.
The question Of grain inspection
has been n with which the state
legislature has been dealing for a
number Of years. But, as is pointed
out, when the grain gets into Mime.

The Fargo S%earchlight believes
the bill of Senator Hansbrough to
make the bad lands country a graz
ing country, is a move in the right
direction. 1t should not be brok-
en- up as it will not make agricult-
ural lands, and breaking it will
spoil it for at least many years for
grazing purposes. If Senator
Hansbrough or any one else can
do anything to help put that Sec
ton of the country to its rightful
use, they should be given due
credit. Let us try to be fair.

Senator Hansbrough is to be
commended for trying. to get the
pay of the rural mail carriers in
creased. says the Mercer Telegram
This service is Of the utmost bene-
fit to the people, and the pay for
the carriers is too small. The in
crease demanded is not out of pro-
portion, and should be granted.
Why not be fair to the senator.

Hon. E. A. Williams.


"Elsewhere in this issue Of The
Homestead we present a half-tone
portrait of Hon. E. A. Williams,
of Bismarck. who is a candidate
for the republican nomination for
congressman. Mr.. Williams is a
pioneer of the state and territory.
He has for many years been a
resident of Bismarck and has at
different times served our people
in one way or another in some Off
cial capacity.
He is one aspirant whom we
believe comes before the people Of
our great commonwealth at this
time with clean hands, his past rec
ord being unchallenged.
AS a member Of. the first state
legislature he succeeded in secur-
ing the passage Of a law requiring
all state institutions to burn Ignite
coal. At that time the state was
sending thousands Of dollars out Of
the state for Pennsylvania coal,
but this act now keeps those thou
sands" at home, thus protecting
and aiding the development of one
of our leading home Industries
our Ignite coal mines.
Mr.. Williams has long favored
the proposition of electing U S.
senators by a direct vote Of the
people and as eurly as 1892 secured
the adoption of a resolution fer
such amendment to our constitu-
ton at a republican convention
held at Bismarck. At the same
convention he secured the adop-
ton of another resolution which
contained much merit wherein it
stated: THAT it is the sense of
this convention that the best in
~terests Of the republican party of
this state would be served if the
state convention called to nominate
a representative in congress and
other state officers, would also
nominate the republican candidate
for the U. s. senate"
As a member of the constitution
al convention in 1889, Mr.. Will
liams offered the following as a
substitute for the motion of MI.
Moer:
Sec. =. Nc railroad or other
transportation company shall grant
free passes, OF tickets, or passes or
tickets. at a discount, to members
of the Legislative assembly, or to
any state, county or municipal
officer, and the acceptance of any
such pass or ticket by a member
of the Legislative assembly, or
any such officer, shall be a forfeit
ure of his Office"
Which substitute was adopted.
This section of the constitution
was afterward reconsidered and
struck out of the constitution, on
roll call Mr.. Williams voting
"No."
Erastus A. Williams rendered
great service to the state when, as
a member of the constitutional
convention, he caused to be re-
served from sale all lands granted
the state under the enabling act,
that bore Ignite coal, thus insur-
ing for all time to the people of

Obituary of James ]. Clancy.

James j. Clancy passed away early
Saturday morning, August Is 1908, at
his home in Elma, after but a few
days illness following an attack of paral-
ysls. Deceased was born in Erie coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, May 10. 1854 and
was 50 years, months and days old
at the time of his death. On June IL,
1877, at Cresco, Iowa, he was married
to Ellen O'Brien, and to them were
born nine children, five of whom, Mrs.
Ellen M. Stevenson, Will, Francis,
Jennie and James survive to mourn
with their mother the loss of kind
and affectionate, father and husband.
The funeral was help from the church
of the Immaculate Conception in Elma
on August II, 1903, and the remains
were laid to rest in our Lady of Lour-
des cemetery at Lourdes.
Mr.. Clancy was one of the prominent
farmers in Howard county having a
fine farm in Paris township. Only last
March the family moved to Elma where
Mr.. Clancy and his wife expected to
find more comfort and much needed
rest after their years of labor on the
farm. He was highly esteemed men,

A. o. U. w. Pay Promptly.

The members of Cresco Lodge No.
$50, A. O. u. w. are greatly pleased
over the prompt payment of the policy
held by E. N. Ranney of Riceville. a
member of their lodge. Mr.. Ranney
passed away the 14th. ane just one
week later the beneficiary, Mrs. Ran
ney, was handed an order for $4,000,
the face of the policy, on the Grand
Receiver of the order. This has been
forwarded and before this is read, Mrs.
Ranney will have received draft for
the $4,000. Such prompt payment, and
made with no expense or trouble to the
beneficiary, is in strong contrast with
the slow moving of some of the old line
companies which take the 60 or 80 day
limit allowed by law for the payment
of claims.

G. A. R. and W. r. c. Picnic.

On Thursday occurred the annual G.
A. R. and w. r. C. picnic For sew
eral years this has been held at Old
Lime Springs but this year Riverside
Park at Vernon Springs was chosen.
The big buss, autos, and private car
riages were the modes oftransit, some
so determined not to miss the attrac-
fractions offered as to walk.
Nature had experimental the entire
season to produce the perfect day.
That dinner surpassed anything the
grand old boys ever sat dow to and the
program was carried out to finish.
The speech by Rev. Hinman was
spicy and hearty as were the Florida
experiences and facts related by Irene
G. Adams. Everyone pronounced it
the best picnic ever held and the few
outsiders fortunately there hope to
get in next year. ~

Howard Officials Bested.

In close game at Decorah last Fri
day our Rats lost to the Winneshiek
Rodents by score of l9 to 20. Re
ports of the game are somewhat con-
fiicting. One report is that at the
end of the sixth inning the teams ad-
journed for supper and that no tally
was kept of the scores made after sup
per. Another report. which we GER
tainly do not believe, is that after the
Winneshiekers got twenty scores, al
scores made by either side were giver
to the Howardites. A run home made
by Sheriff Culver in which he made
such fast time as. to nearly lose hi
shirt, was the big feature of the game
