Justice, not Charity

Sometimes Il prediction is long time
in becoming a reality, but if the basic
principle upon which the prediction is
founded is sound, it is only matter of
time when the reality comes. For many
years The Republican has been more or
less skeptical as to the result Of dry
farming in this or any other county,
and this winter the prediction Of hard
ship to come for the hardy and intrepid
settlers has become sad reality.
There is said to be dire want among the
dry farmers in the northern part OF the
county and active steps are being tax
en- in this city to relieve the suffering
by charity.
This condition should never have been
brought about. We foresaw the result
several years ago, when the boom Of
dry land was being brought about by
INSCRIPTIONS land agents. At that time
and often since we have warned the
people that it was an unsafe field TO
enter into, but the boom had gone be-
yond the control of ordinary means.
Innocent individuals had become the
owners Of the land that for brief per.
iod had been in the hands of specula-
tors until the prices could be inflated.
Most of these s,t.lers w,rc compara-
lively poor and not able to stand the
drain upon the purse that would be in
cvitable before some system of farm.
ing could be evolved that would make
it possible for them to make living
from the land.
We are in hearty sympathy with the
movement here to relieve at once the
need Of clothing and food that some Of
them require. The people are worthy.
They have tried well TO make their way
but many Of them have been misled
by those who should be in the peniten-
tentiary for the oifense. Itwould have
been far better for these settlers to
have bought one or two acres of gar
den land some place near Il city or
near a railroad and to have raised gar
den truck than to have secured 100
acres Of dry land with absolutely no
hope of securing irrigation water.
Weld County Republican.
The above may not be intended to APP
ply to this section. for Weld county is
large, too large for efficient administra-
tion under one county government, es-
pecally with the present limited means
