Therefore when he must remain upon

that much longer.
There are hundreds of settlers in
the West who are simply holding on
from month to month eking out a
bare existence In the hopes of saw
ing the homestead. Many to my per-
sonal knowledge are giving them up
and many more will do so. What
possible benefit can government de-
rive from a policy of compelling them
to remain full five years when they
have given such unquestionable EVIL
dence and every evidence in the
world that they are there in good
faith and sacrificing everything to get
a home. The people who insist upon
a five year homestead law do not
know anything about the hardships
of the settlers and they are gener-
ally people who do not know any
thing about what it is to want
home. Some one likely gave them
one to start with. 7 say the present
law is unwise, cruel and In many
ways brutal. Nothing less expresses
my views about 1t.

settler. do not want anyone to gel
home upon the public land who Ii

Of good faith is made then l want
him to have a home without being
impoverished.
The best and most accessible Of
our lands are gone. There are NO
great prairies of fertile soil upon
which the settlers may move and
make a home in a few months as was
the condition at the time Abraham
Lincoln signed the homestead law in
1861. 1t Is largely the more, inacces.
sible and undesirable lands which
are left. While these lands are val
liable when once obtained and re.
duced to cultivation they require
more effort and more expenditure
Of time and money to get them. Peo-
pie of limited means are unable to

the title to their land for five years.

tratfon to be a law for at most the
we'll to do. The man of limited
means cannot hold up the long period
of five years and put upon the land
the expenditure and time which is re.
auired. The settler must be placed
in a position to have title withiA
some reasonable time 80 that he can
dispose of a part of his land to cul.
tivate or improve the balance. The
man who goes upon homestead to
live five years understands perfectly
that he Is taking chances of not be-
ing able to hold it: and less and less
are needy ones trying to and more
and more are they going by the humid
reds into Canada where q sensible
and humane land policy has limited
the period to three years. Does any.
one doubt that If a man goes upon q
piece of land and remains there for
three years, cultivating and improv.
ing that land, that his good faith as
a homesteader is just a well esrab-
lished as If he resided there for FIVE
years..
Furthermore, most of the home
steads are now in arid regions and it
requires a great deal of money to
put the land under cultivation, and
the very conditions which surround
the homesteader necessitates that
he give every evidence Of good faith
by even reducing it to cultivation.
The basis Of our land laws in the
arid regions ought never to have
been residence and ought not to be
residence now but the basis should be
cultivation. 1t IL well enough to
have residence for q limited time but

Fargo Blade: The pardoning of Joe
Remington-or rather, the committing
of his sentence to point which gives
him his liberty inside Of year-ls a
disgrace to the state, and a blot on
the name of every member OF the par
doning board. 1t is just such acts as
these that create lawlessness, in view
of the fact that it brings home to the
masses a realization of the fact that
Justice is not being melted out through
the channels of law. In the failure
of justice, mob law steps in. No good

FOR RICH AND POOR.

john D. Rockefeller will paste half
a thousand dollars worth of Red Cross
seals on his Christmas packages this
year. We recall the case of the wom-
an who, a year ago, with illness and
poverty in her family, saved less than
a dollar wherewith to purchase the
CHEEKY stickers, because "she had q
sister i'll with consumption and wanted
to aid all she could in the fight
against the disease" Red Cross seals
are for everyone's use, young and old,
rich and poor alike. They carry a
message Of good will and every cent
raised by their sale means one cent
more in the fund to be used in the
warfare against the white plague.

gathering in order to discuss organ
izing a troup Of boy scouts in Bis

from the time the boys began to
gather until the last of them had de-
parted for their various homes
throughout the town.
One OF the questions arising at this
meeting was, shall We Become
American Boy Scouts, or Shall We
Become Boy Scouts of American"
After considerable debate and view.
ing the various phases of the two
different organizations, the boys with
the aid of several business men de.
cided to affiliate with the Boy Scouts
of America, and az such authorized
Master Fred Young. the secretary, to
communicate with the officials Of
the organization in st. Paul, in re-
gard to 4ha best way to organize a
patrol at Bismarck.
. From the attitude of those present,
and the encouragement given by sew.
eral Of the business men, there is q
strong belief that Bismarck will have
a patrol. 800

In North Dakota the State Fire Pre-

a conflagration. The man who smokes
can be none too observant when he

the vicinity of flimsy decorations.
In the home, where the use of the
Christmas tree is we'll nigh universal,
parents should recollect that every
year there are many children burned
to. death by fire from Christmas
candles. Do not decorate the tree
with paper, cotton or other material

a well rendered song complete the
