rapidly and substantially than any like
area ever inhabited by the human race.
All past experiences teach US that the
government should dispose of its public
lands for the purpose os settlement and
use and that the question of revenue
deserves but little consideration. About
two-t thirds of all the lands in the United
States have passed into private owner
ship and unless some unwise policy is
inauguraned most of the remainder will
be taken up in some form or other with
in the next twenty years. Today set
tlement is rapid. Every land office is
working overtime, and even with the
lessened opportunities for acquiring title
to public lands now prevailing thousands
of land filings by new land settlers are
being made every month.

A FIGHT for Food.

The Associated Clubs of Domestic
Sciences, with headquarters in Chi
cago. and branches in many large
cities and towns of the United States.
is an organization formed for the pur
pose of keeping watch over the food
products of the country. Its immedi
ate endeavor is directed toward the
abolition of harmful preservatives
used by the food manufacturers.
Among the latter there are firms
representing many millions of capital
who have signed the agreement 70.
the organization. They represent tn
food manufacturing interests which
are opposed to the use of chemicals IL
food products. The progress of this
association is of vital interest to the
homes OF the nation. and will bf
watched with anxiety.

A HARMONY SCHOOL.

Delta county needs harmony school.
Not one at the expense of the tax pay
ers, but one in the interest of citizen
ship and prosperity.
The people should get together and
the towns should get in line.
No town in the county is strong
enough to build up an Independent rep
utation. No section of the county has
an advantage over another section
which is not Offset by some counter ad-
vantage of eqaal impori ance.
If man comes to Delta county to
buy an orchard or a farm he doesn' t
hop off the train in Delta, hold out
SIS, 600 or $40, 600 and exclaim: "Here IS
my money; hand me farm" He
takes time to look around to see that
which he can buy which suits him best.
One section may be better for alfalfa,
grain, sugar beets and melons than an.
other. That other may have the first
skinned country mile for fruit.
Get together and boost for the whole
county; for every town in it. Give
your own locality the best you have
got. That is but proper loyalty tc
your home place; but in doing SO DOM
deride other sections. Every man who
buys and settles in any part of Delta
county is pretty sure to benefit the
whole county. Encourage him to come
and help him, if you can, after he
comes. We have argument of merit ir
resources and plenty of room for more
people.

THE SUSPICION OF POLITICS.

What would you bet, Mr.. Voter, that
there is member of the Legislature in
the State of Colorado who hash t his
pocket full of railroad passes?
What would you be willing to wager
that there are three county officers in
Colorado who do not ride on railroad
passes given to them outright by rail-
road companies?
Would you dare bet that there is one
judge of our courts in Colorado who is
not supplied with railroad passes?
The railroads are very courteous to
our State, judicial, legislative and
county officials! 1t is certainly nice of
them-but! ????
These passes are not in the form of
mileage books but are ANIMALS in the
shape of little card which entities the
holder to ride free every day in the
year if he wants to.
The writer has seen a member of the
legislature have in his pocket little
block of blanks on which he could have
transportation issued to his friends by
merely signing the request.
Not infrequently newspaper man is
censured because he accepts thousand
mile ticket in exchange for advertising,
when, in every instance, he more than
pays for his travel in space delivered
under iron-clad contract.
What do the other fellows pay?
Nothing. They not only pay nothing
unless it be a return favor for the
bribe-but some of them, who are in a
position to do so, make their pass a
graft, riding free and charging up
mileage in their fee bills.
These. are plain words, but how many
of those accepting and using railroad
passes for which they did not pay, will
dare stand up and say they are not

Men Vubo CbinR

M. V. Facey. The pool room patron
of twenty will not know much of the
history of his country at thirty. He
will be in the ranks of those who will
complain that a fellow does not get
fair chance in this world His COM
panion who makes the choice of even
ings well spent at twenty will not be
looking for job at forty. He will
make the job for himself. Nothing in
this, you say? Let no young man de-
ceive himself on this point. The world
is made up of leaders who as boys made
right choices.
R. M. Moran. The influx of home
steaders has about put the open range
proposition out of business and more
and more hay feeding has to be done
every winter. A good many of the
bona fide homesteaders are ready to
prove up this fall but very few of them
have much to show for their five years
work. Where they combined stock
raising with grain farming some of the
settlers have done fairly well, but as a
rule they have made little attempt at
raising stock and have apparently been
content to simply hold down their claim
for the allotted time and then see what
they could get out of them.
DR.. Houghton. The pew rent system
is the climax of the so-called business
way of running a church. Christ's
family does not assemble in such
place because 1t cannot; only the lucky
sons and daughters of God occupy till
He comes. All that the prosperous are
given in the world they are accorded in
the church and at cost of the whole
church becoming private building
with no room for those who cannot pay
The pew system works its first harm in
the separation among the brethren, the
wellto-do taking the best seats and the
poor the worst. The sick and un-
fortunate on Sunday often have to
stand until those who have devoted
most of their time to business and the
world walk in and get what they pay
for.
H. W. Campbell. The attacks on dry
farming emanating from the depart
ment of agriculture or some of its
branches have been coming so long and
have had such small effect that we
long since ceased to give them any
attention. In the meantime the plain
and practical farmers of the west have
gone on, many of them following the
Campbell system and developing great
farms everywhere. Permanent pros
perity is coming to the west because
men who actually till the soil and who
do not draw salaries from paternal
government have paid no attention
whatever to tre pessimistic grumblings
of the jealous politicians If Secretary
| Wilson desires to be of some use to the
great west he will at least desst from
standing in the way of the chariot of
progress and permit western farmers
to go on working out their problems in
their own way.
| w. j. Robinson. .-Disposing of the
lands in small areas to actual settlers
protects the government and fills the
state with homes. 1t builds up COM
munities and lessons chances of social
and civil disorder by giving ownership
to the soil in small tracts to actual oc-
cupants. The homestead law is a won
derful illustration of the soundness of
the principle. Under its wise provi-
sions nearly one million homesteads
have been patented and this whole
western country has developed more
