To Reinstate Homesteads

A bill has passed the senate Git had already passed the house) per hitting a second entry of home steads, amending the house bill, however, by substituting the bill recently reported by the senate public lands committee, which en- larges the scope of the house bill so that "any person who has here tofore lost or forfeited his home stead entry through no fault or neglect of his own, or wh" Was un able to perfect his entry because of an honest mistake as tu the char acter or location of the land en- tered, shall be entitled to the ben efits of the homestead laws as if the former entry had not been made" This substitution will, oi course, necessitate the rtiurning oi the bill to the house for it's con- sideration, but that it will prove acceptable to them there can be no doubt.
 To this territory it is particularly important, as it will reinstate num- berless homestead rights forfeited through misapprehension of con- dition at the time they were filed. Some years ago when there was rush in this direction, entries were made on lands that were totally unfit for the use the locator had in view at the time the entries were made, but this knowledge came oftentimes too late to save the right of the entryman for future use.

Liability Act

A Washington dispatch says A comprehensive employers lia- bility act was introduced in the senate and house today. Senator La Toilette. of Wisconsin and Rep resentative Sterling of Illinois are the authors. They say the bill has the endorsement of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, Locomotive Bremen, Enginemen and Railroad Trainmen. It is in- tended to meet the recent decision of the supreme court, declaring the recent act unconstitutional.

No Cause for Excitement.

While the west has been work ing itself into frenzy over the public land question, Washington has apparently forgotten all about it. Even the president has sent in long message bristling with hints of things that congress might do if it would, but not a word about the land question. As matter of fact, congress has not the slightest intention of tackling the land ques- ton this session This is a presi- dential year and according to pre- cedent, it is not good year to un- Iertake legislation over which there is any considerable difference of opinion. Consequently there has been no serious objection made to MT. Mondell of Wyoming. stand ing guard over the house committee on public lands and the solid pha lanx of anti leasing senators in the senate will watch in vain for a chance to revive the discus sion of year ago. In the west the stock interests may continue to discuss the question at their leisure, but with the situation as it is in Washington, there is surely no cause for excitement. Nothing will be done this year.

Work Makes Men

Work makes men. Luck usually fails. Pluck nearly always wins. To succeed in anything one must overcome obstacles. Force and fiber are built by hard.hips. Grit is as necessary in the making of a man as gumption. Hardships are not always handicaps. Often they are helps. You will understand this better in twenty years. Meanwhile permit one who has lived that twenty years and more to. advise you in this. Hang onto your job until you are sure of better one. Dependable boys are in dema nd and no boy can be depended upon who does not finish the task he sets his hand to do. However dis agreeable your work, do it thor oughly-do it better than the av- craze boy.-Ex.

As Regards Statehood

The postponement by the con trolling powers in congress of New Nexico's admission to statehood should open the eyes of the public ,pirited citizens of our sister terri. tory to the fact that Arizona's claim for statehood must also be consid- cred equally with that of New Mex ico when the time arrives for the two territories to be added to the family of states.
 That time has not yet been de cided on. The promise that New Mexico may be admitted at the short session of congress. postpon- ing the matter until after the pres idential election, is not an honest one. Speaker Cannon knows that Arizona's claim for statehood is just as deserving as New Mexico's and that Arizona has powerful friends in congress and out of con. gress who will see that her interests do not suffer. Thisis not the year and this is not the congress, that will deal justly by both territories But when the time does arrive fol statehood. New Mexico will learr that Arizona intends to be in the game herself -Graham Guardian

BOOST THE BOOSTER

That's the official slogan of a certain town in Arkansas, which through boosting itself and boost ing its boosters, has doubled it's population since the 1900 census.
 BOOST THE BOOSTER!
 The people of the Arkansas town had been quarreling among them selves for years and standing still. It had boosters, but it had others who refused to boost the boosters, refused to stand by them and yell, Good boy-keep it up",
 BOOST THE BOOSTER!
 Finally the town people got together, organized the Boost the Booster Club" and began to boom. Now its principle thorougfare, which was streak of mud, is a stretch of asphalt. and it has new buildings to match. Now every body boosts the booster and booms he boom.

CRlTlClZING NEWSPAPERS

A dearth of local news often leads to murmurs on the part of those who prize local gossip above all else, and it is not all the fault of the publisher. Any live pub fisher will not fail to give all the local news worthy of note, there fore when the local department is short you should not rail at the editor. Remember that you mi ght have helped him out by committing suicide, getting married, quarreling with your neighbor, stealing chick ems. getting smashed up in a runa- way, or a hundred other ways to furnish a local item.
 If newspaper should publish current street gossip or the hints and illusions of the best society in the community, it would be ostra- cised and the poor editor horse whipped or burned at the stake. Think a minute of the mean and low things you say about your townsmen and your near neighbor, and then imagine how it would look in print. Do not criticize the newspapers for what they print, but give them great credit for what they don't print. A newspaper containing one half the nonsense current among "the best citizens'' would be considered unfit to read Honest, it would.

Would Benefit Arizona

The Denver News of recent date says:
 In return for millions in taxes paid by the west for river and har- bor improvements for the United States, business men of Colorado. Utah, Wyoming and Arizona will petition the next congress to appro- priate $10,O0O.OOO for wagon road 1000 miles long. from Yellowstone National Park to the Grand Canyon in Arizona"
 The projectors of the new road will urge in their petition that part from opening up a great new coun- try for mining and settlement in parts of Utah and Arizona, it would prove a valuable highway of com merce and at the same time become one of the great tourist highways of the world.
 Branch roads extending from the great highway would connect many cities and towns and prove of ut most benefit to the more sparsely populated sections of the west.

No Kick Coming

It looks to the ordinary traveller IS if the calamity howl of some of he Santa Fe officials is hardly founded on fact" said a Denver
 raveling man who arrived from he north on No. last night. No. was crowded to the guards with passengers, and a railroad man told me today that when the Cali fornia limited went through for the west she had 117 passengers on board, eight cars in the train. The travel has been like this for some time past. In Kansas City. for instance, it was necessary to engage a lower birth two weeks ahead for the California limited. It may be hard times, and the rail- roads may be up against it, but as far as passenger travel is concern ed the Santa Fe certainly has no kick coming at present. It is hard to see why so many people can af- ford to travel and travel by limited train if the public is as broke as some men would have us believe J Albuquerque Journal.

Good Advice.

John Mitchell, the ablest labor leader, the United States has ever known, gave his fellow miners some excellent advice recently. He said: "I have watched labor troubles and conditions as closely as any man and 1 have not seen any bene- fit accrue from sympathetic strikes. Should the Western Federation of Miners go on strike, and we be asked to aid the strike, we ask naturally, "What will we get out of it? What good will accrue to us?" I don't see that it would do us any good to have the metalli- ferrous miners on strike. Coal can be mined when gold miners are rot working, but gold cannot be mined if there is no coal" John Mitchell told the truth. Sympa- thetic strikers are causless strikes and labor men who violate con- tracts are entitled to but small consideration. John Mitchell is out of the game now, an invalid for life, but he is one of the repre- sentative men of America-a man who has ever been worth the while. Dallas Times Herald.
