ROOSEVELT POLICIES.

The people of the whole country un-
derstand what has come to be known
as the Roosevelt Policies" one of the
most conspicuous of which, aside from
the railway rate legislation, has been
q determination to put stop to the
stealing of the public domain, the pur-
pose being the preserving of tina re-
naming public lands for honest home
seekers and home builders. Many land
grafters have been placed behind prison
bars, though some, through the influence
of wealth or political considerations,
have managed to escape conviction,
either by preventing indictments or by
fixing juries or bribing witnesses.
