an agreement they then recognized as
a liberal one, their chances for the
public sympathy will be slim.

1t is proposed to place the city of
Pierre under the Galveston plan OF
government, and electors are to de
eide the matter at a special election
to be held March 20. The Galveston
places the city under the control OF
one president and four commissioners,
elected at large-may all be from one
and the same ward. Under such a
system, it is admitted a few property
owners will be benefited, the best in
terests of others may be neglected.
This is one bad feature of the Calves
ton plan of government; and, we are
opposed to the adoption of any sys-
TEN which does not alike protect all
the people. Under the present sys-
tenn each ward is represented upon
the council by two members, whose

Washington, d. c., March It
With view to expediting the inves-
tigation of cases alleged land frauds
in the west, a number of changes
have been made in the field service

The state of North Dakota has been
segregated from the division which
formerly comprised the states of Min
nesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Wisconsin and Michigan, and
made a separate division with head
quarters at Fargo, N. D., with w. S,

Contrary to hopes, representative
Burke of South Dakota did not make
the republican vacancy on the ways
and means committee, the place GO
ing to Cushman of Washington. As
the ways and means committee frames
the tariff bills, members would rather
be chosen for it than any other COM
mittee except that on rules. How
ever, Representative Burke has a
good chance to become chairman of
the commitle on Indian affairs, an
Important post, for it so happens that
the stronger members of the commit
tee as it stood during the last session
were defeated for reelection. This is
one of the committees that will not be
announced by Speaker Cannon until
the close of the special session. -

OPPORTUNITY OF LIFE TIME

The Mondell 800 acre homesteaGer
law which gives homesteader an
opportunity to select from the millions
OF acres Of land susceptible to being
cultivated in States to the west of us,
which will not only be home that by
a little energy and an ordinary amount
of the right kind OF effort will event
nally develop all the comforts and bless
that home implies, but it will also be a
foundation upon which anyone with
good health and average business
ability may acquire wealth and be-
come independent from a financial
point of view. 1t is safe to say that
if the public lands were all thrown
onto the market at an avarage price
of five dollars an acre there would be
very few 800 tracts left for homestead
er in a very short time. If we can
take this for a value basis, then
receivers receipt for homestead
filing is equivalent to a government
bond for one thousand Six hundred
dollars, payable in five years with
interest according to the ability the
holder may have to help himself in
the way of making improvements and
adding to the value of the land from
year to year. besides harvesting and
marketing a crop each year from the
acres he wishes to cultivate of the
land. More than this, there is a
steady annual advance in land values,
NATURALLY SO from the fact that the de-
mand for homes and farms is constant.
~ growing more popular among the
American people, and the supply of
acres is limited to the same amount
as in the early history of the country,
when large tracts were sold at a few
cents an acre. # 81 sH8

HIS FIRST MESSAGE BRIEF.

President Taft has sent his first
message to Congress. In it he con
veys his idea of the necessity of i'm
mediate action on the revision of the
tariff, and it does not take very long
message to convey that information
either. From this message it is evil
dent that what President Taft will
have to say to congress will be brief
and to the point. In his message the
president says that business condi-
lions have changed to such an extent
in the past twelve years that IA revi-
sion of the Dingley act is really i'm
perative. This idea of revision was
one of the strongest planks of the
platform and 1t must be adhered to
bring about the results desired. Pres
ident Taft wanted to impress upon
the members of congress that they
are called together chiefly for the pur-
pose OF working Oh the tariff, and
that there is nothing else for congress
to do but to give it's sole attention to
the question. Congress can do much
in the time that is at its command
and the people of the country will
hope that the work viii not be delay
ed and that when it is accomplished
that results will be seen and felt.

There are approximately six thou

A JOKE ON THE ENEMY

Once upon a time when there
was big war there were party
of men called scouts who were
fighting very hard for their
country. While they didn't wear
new soldier suits with shiny but
tons, they always had very strong,
fast horses to ride, and they rode
so fast the enemy never could
reach them.
One morning the enemy had
been trying to catch one of the
scouts named Jack Davis, but he
had ridden out of sight ahead of
them around the bend of the road.
They rode fast and looked careful
ly all about, but couldn't find
him. They came to a field where
a farmer was hoeing corn, and
called him to the road. They ask
ed him If he had seen Jack Davis
riding by on a big black horse,
and they even offered the farm
er a great deal of money if he
would help find their man.
The farmer only shook his
head, saying he would like to
have the money, but when Davis
went by he was riding so fast
that he must be miles away by
this time"
Feeling disappointed, the en-
emV turned their hOrseS ahout
and rode home. The old farmer
