The trouble is they paid what the
land is going to be worth rather than
what it was worth at the time of the

The government itself is the real
culprit. If Uncle Sam wanted his
projects to be settled and wanted ac-
tual settlers to reap the benefits Of
the reclamation policy he should
have adhered rigidly to the residence
requirement. More important still he
should have insisted strictly as he
started out to do, that all landhold-
ers sell off their holdings in small
parcels within a very limited time.
Had that policy been followed the
land would have gone at a low price
ana it would have been taken en-
tirely by bona fide settlers. But our
Uncle has not done that The Uma-
tilla project has been BUILT for many

the land would have to be disposed

Quoted its reclamation policy in the
interest of big land holders rather
than in the interest of actual work

officials now heaping criticism on the

upon the government itself.

AFTER MEXICAN VOTES
CoIquitt Makes a Plea for Votes
Through Pardooing Power
Has He the Right

Among the documents which
are being circulated to boost the
campaign of Governor Colquitt
for renomln alton is an issue of
lei impartial De Texas. of
May 2nd, a paper printed in
Spanish at San Antonio for cir
culatlon among the Mexicans of
Texas. In this issue of that
paper there appears on the
front page a large four column
cut of the Governor together
with an article under the title
"El Gobeanador CoIquitt, " in
which san appeal is made to the
Mexicans OF Texas to vote for
Colquitt, and among the prin-
cipal reasons given appears the
following remarkable statement:
In respect to our race, he
has borne himself as no other
Governor up to now since there
is no complaint which a Mexican
puts before him which is not
attended to with solicitude. and
he has remembered the cele-
bration of the 10Th of Septem-
Der, anniversary of the Mexican
Independence, by giving..,hberty
each year to twenty-five Of our
fellow men. who being prisoners
have observed good conduct
Moreover, during his admins
tration he has not given the
occasion for a Mexican to go
to the gallows. a common thing
with the former Governors. "
We have not investigated the
truth of this statement, but as
we have seen no denial, and as
il is being used for campaign
purposes among the Mexican
voters of Texas we assume it
correctly states the facts.
Whether true or untrue. how
ever, matters little. If untrue,
il evidences an objectionable ap-
peal to the Mexican prejudices
which would be even more
than the indiscrlm-
mate use OF pardons for political
If true, 1t shows the
most unwarranted and palpable
abuse Of the pardonlng power
Of which we have ever known.
That Governor Colquitt was I'M
der great obligation to the
Mexican voters Of Texas
for his election is no
doubt true, and that without
this vote his hopes for re-
election would be futile is
true. But that the
Governor of State should seek
to discharge such debt or
seek the suffrage of this class
by annually selecting from the
penitentiaries Of Texas twenty
five Mexican convicts sentenced
to servitude for crimes COM
mitted against the people of his
State, in order TO enliven the
