Behold! the Joker!

That the golden days of home
steading appear to have come to
an inglorious end, is now begin
ming to dawn upon the public
mind. The attitude of the gov
ernment, hostile to the easy ac-
QUESTION of land under commuta-
ton privilege, is only too well
established, and it has latterly
borne fruitage in legislation
which now proves to have a
wider scope than those, who
helped to make the law recogniz-
ed in it's passage
Take this law under which the
department has seen fit to taboo
immense areas, under the claim
that they are coal lands. 1t is
nothing more or less than a sys-
tematic coup on the part of the
government, by means of which
it could annuI the easy oommuta-
ton proviso and promptly put
great stretches of land under
more stringent homesteading
regulations, among which are a
five year residence demand and
a regulation compelling the
homesteader to cultivate definite
considerable parts of his holding.
In the act of June 10th, 1910,
it is stated that "all homestead
entries made here under shall be
subject to the conditions as to
residence. and cultivation, Of en-
tries under the act approved

Washington Heard From

Throughout the week the
Lennon Commercial club has
been agreeably made aware that
our energetic protest in Joint
meeting last week was receiving
the degree of attention and
compliance with the authorities
at Washington which the case
deserves.
According to instructions the
grievances of the Lennon land
district population, as voiced in
the resolutions made by the
Joint convention of commercial
clubs. were promptly forwarded
to President Taft, to the depart
ment of the interior, and to the
governors and senatorial and
congressional representatives of
both North and South Dakota.
Results We're not slow in COM
ing, Gov. Vessey being the first
to signify his readiness to ac-
company the two delegates
chosen to Washington and as
sist in urging the relief sought.
1t is, however, possible, that the
contemplated visit may not be
necessary, judging from the
sweeping tenor of the telegram,
quoted below, and sent by Sena-
tor Gamble to Mr.. Logan Berry.
This is as follows:
Local officers at Lennon
have been instructed to re-
ceive surface right entries in
coal areas provided for in act
of June 29th. 1910; and to ac-
cept proofs on entries made
prior to withdrawal under
act March I3. 1909; providing
for protection of entrymen of
lands subsequently claimed
valuable for coal. Field ex-
aminer from general land
office started for Lennon
yesterday. Matter of field
examinations coal withdraw
ais will have special consid-
Grafton. Situation will be
relieved as much as possible.
Signed Robt J. Gamble.
Letters and kilograms have
been received from Gov. Vessey,
Sen Gamble, Sen. Crawford,
and Congressman Burke and
Martin, ali voicing their readi-
ness to help in relieving the dis
trlct of the burden of this en-
barge. Today Mr.. Berry will
leave for Huron, where ne will
meet the above named gentle
men in conference upon the mat
ter, when such action will be
agreed upon as appears likely to
carry the point.

act to provide for an enlarged
homestead" Thus by a few
words, T veritably inserted un
der departmental influence as .
joker-the provisions Of the en-
larged homestead act become
binding upon the lands segregat
ed under the whim of the de.
partment as coal lands.
| let us see what the demands
under the Feb. 10Th, 1909, &C,
are:
Section 4 of that act provides
that the settler, in making proof
must show that beginning with
the second year of his entry he
has cultivated continuously to
agricultural crops other than
native grasses at least one-eighth
of the area embraced in his en-
try. and that at least one-fourth
OF the area embraced in his en-
try was so continuously cultiva-
ted beginning with the third
year of the entry" Further, in
section 5: mo entry made under
this act shall be commuted.'
Thus it would seem that hence
forth none need apply for a
homestead hereabouts, who ere
not ready and willing to stay on
their land the full time of five
years, and ready and able to put
under cultivation at least twenty
acres the second season, and
twenty more the third. We do
not mean to criticise the act, but
merely to show the trend of re-
cent legislation, which suddenly
has fettered the local area.
which lies under the I6O-acre
homestead proviso, to the pro
visions of a law which privileges
to a homestead double that size.
AS the result of this legislation
the further settlement of this
country will doubtless be greatly
impeded; development will 20 on
at snail's pace. Perhaps, it
will be for the better in the
future perhaps not. The re-
naming lands will be taken up
only by such as have a tempera
ment suited to the demand.
Surely the speculative home
steader has been eliminated, and
just as surely the real estate
mortgage will be slower in com
ing onto the land. But the
splendid development which
suddenly rolled over the vast
stretch of land from Dickinson
to Belle Fourche has come to a
stop, as far as such parts are
concerned as fall under the ban
of the new law.
And now it would be a good
stunt on the part of the progress
ional families of both states, to
whip through congress prompt
measure whereby the lands that
yet remain may be taken up un-
der the enlarged homestead act
of Feb. 19, 1909. If settlers
have to bear the burdens of that
measure. let them have also its
privileges.

Despite the untoward condi
tions of the season there is con
siderable harvesting going or
throughout this section. Thanks
to the occasional local showers,
which in places struck more
|abundantly than in others, many
field has matured a fair crop,
especially such fields as were
seeded early and on we'll cultivat-
ed ground. There is no doubt
but what an immense area could
have been put in in good season.
Immediately after the snow left
the ground and would have pro-
duced an adequate crop. The
farmer has doubtless learned a
good lesson this season, the les
son of preparing the soil IN the
fall and fastening his seeding
close upon the end of winter.
AS matters stand, the fact of a
partial crop this season is a big
compliment for our soil and
climatic conditions which in a
year as rarely dry as this can
wrest a harvest from an unwill-
ing nature.

ORIGIN OF THE UNION LABEL

We are indebted to the John Hopkins
Press for copy of a monograph on The
Trade Union Label" by DR.. Ernest r.
Spedden. in which he traces its origin.
The device was first generally used IN
1875, as result of competition in San
Francisco between Chinese and white ci-
garmakers Dr. Spedden is informed by
Miss Lucille Eaves of the University OF
Nebraska that in 1869 the Carpenters
Eight-Hour League of San Francisco had
used a stamp on products of planning
mills in which the eight-hour rule OBJ
tanned. and ne thinks possibly the cigar
makers profted by the example of the
carpenters. In testimony given before
the congressional committee of 1S76-11.
the device was referred to by one of the
union witnesses as a stamp" but the
term union label" was soon in vogue.
and. by 1873 fifty cigar manufacturers
were using 1t in 4 concerted effort to
drive out the cheap Chinese labor. The
cigarmakers' official journal of January,
1879. records that the label had then
come into use by at least one eastern
manufacturer, who had introduced "ci-
gars with labels of murdered Cinnamon"
From its employment in San Francisco
the label spread among unions in many
occupations, and to the chief countries
of Europe and Australia The attempt
to identify the label with the hall mark"
of the medieval guilds has failed. in DR..
Spedden's opinion. The hall marks were
merely certificates of genuineness, and
had nothing to do with labor struggles
and boycotts. The union label is dis
tinctively in Its origin device of Amer
lean trades unionism.-New York Times.

a PRAYER FOR JIMMY.

Dear Lord, excuse Jim Banks and me
For hitting Aunty Griggs when we
Threw snowballs at the cat, because
We did not know where Aunty was,
Jim Banks and me are sorry, Lord.
For drawing Teacher on the board.
And after what we got, We do
Not need more punishment from you,
Excuse Jim Banks especially.
Because his mothers dead and he
Just heard of you the other day
And is too bashful yet to pray,
But you would like him if you knew
Jim Banks as well as we all do.
And if you have some clothes to spare
Remember him. for he's quite bare,
He says old shoes will help him some.
And some worn pants; and he will come
Most any night. but where he stays
He earns his keep by working days.
And if there is an angel there
Who might like him and you can spare.
Would you mind telling this to him
And see what he can do for Jim?
And Jimmy's hat is straw and old.
You know the weather's pretty cold.
And Jimmy's ears stick out into
The weather, and his nose gets blue,
Dear Lord. please do the very best
You can for him, I've got vest
And sweater on the closet shelf
That | am going to give. myself,
And beg your pardon, Lord. and pray
My soul to keep; and Jimmy may
Be President some day. and then
Wen all be proud of him. Amen,

WONDERFUL TRANSFORMATION IN
LABOR.

Workmen fail to realize the tremend-
GUS Improvement in Industrial conditions
characterizing the last half century. So
marked has been the evolution that it
might almost be called revolution. In
the office of the Browne & Sharpe Man
ufacturing company, of Providence, r. L..
hangs copy of the schedule of the
hours of labor required by the Provi-
dence Machine company when Mr..
Sharpe's father was employed there in
1S47-4s. Except during May, June and
July, when it began at 4:45. work began
at sunrise Workmen had their breakfast
before beginning the days work only in
the months of November, December,
January and February. During the rest
OF the year breakfast was served any
where from 6: 80 to 1880, and 40 minutes
only were allowed for 1t. Seven o'clock
was the average time for ending the
days work. While there was little arti-
fetal illumination, and that inadequate,
nevertheless during the short days from
November to February work was kept
up till o'clock Sixty years ago the
hours of factory employment seemed to
have been fashioned after those on the
farm, where conditions are SO different.
With the old, wood-burning stoves.
which heated fiercely the area near by,
but sent little warmth to remoter parts
of the great rooms, with small windows
affording meager light except on the
brightest days, and with no ventilation.
the sanitary conditions 80 years ago fell
far below those prevailing in a modern
factory At present, too, men receive a
much higher wage for a much shorter
period of work: but here it is hard to
make an equitable comparison, as the
purchasing power of money was differ
ent then from what it is now. The wants
of the workingman were far simpler so
years ago than they are today. He now
lives upon higher plane in every way
and is able to give his children good
education, thus giving them a start in
life that makes for success. In the aboli-
ton of child labor and of hard work for
women, in the introduction, too, of safety
devices, much may yet be accomplished;
but the lot of the workmen of today
marks a big advance over what it was
the middle of the last century--Leslie's
Weekly.

convention is bigger and the convention
generally stands by the executive
council.
Here is the occasion Of the above
test The newspaper solicitors union
of San Francisco is a new organization,
small. but full of fight local news
paper declined to do business with it.
Result, and right OF the bat, a boycott.
But boycott by handful of men does
not amount to much, SO the Frisco labor
council backed it up. Then it asked the
entire labor movement in this country to
get behind it.
Now, it is against the rules to order
a boycott without first getting the in
dorsement of the executive council. AS
a matter of fact, that is the recognized
agency of the American Federation of
Labor for such business.
THE little Frisco local had gone on
and set up rule of its own. 1t had not
much to lose and it thought that it had
everything to gain. But there were other
considerations. There we're four big in
ternationals involved, each with large
membership. and all in the newspaper
business. They had made contracts with
the Newspaper Publishers association
"A boycott would have meant the
breaking of these contracts and the fu-
ture welfare of these organizations
would have been jeopardized SO that the
little Frisco union, newly organized by
inexperienced men, which had nothing
to lose, might get back at a newspaper.
Maybe the little Frisco union was
right in its original grievance But the
way that it set out to secure justice was
wrong. That is what the American Fed
Grafton of Labor delegates said. anyway,
and when they say a thing as deter
minedly as they said this, you may make
up your mind that they are not very far
astray. There were a few pretty definite
propositions brought out in this discus
sion.
"The solidarity of the working class
was clearly recognized, and it was agreed
that every trades unionist should be will
ing to suffer and to sacrifice for the sake
of the weaker brother or organization.
But sometimes it is good plan to look
ahead 1t is a great help on the job If
you can see things in the large and to
get broader outlook than is possible
when one is simply looking after the well
fare of ones own organization. While it
is perfectly fair to ask another trades
union to come and suffer for the sake
of the smaller. organization. it is also
square deal to consider just how much
this suffering involved on the part of the
other fellow.
ALSO, it was discovered tnat the whole
is greater than any part nat is a geo.
metrical proposition which is SO simple
that it comes very early in our lessons
1t is SO fundamental that you can not af-
ford to get very far away from it And
| it applies to the labor movement as
specifically as it does in working out a
problem in geometry.
