expected to make their wants
and needs known. So more
should be said and done toward
expressing the public sentiment
in regard to making the home
stead laws more lenient on the
settler.
Surely no argument can be
brought against this. unless by
some shortsighted person who is
afraid some one will prove up
and leave the country and there
by buy their bacon and calico
elsewhere. Let him prove mp
and leave before he goes broke
and can't leave. What's q man
with no money and no employ
ment worth to a country or
town? What kind of an adver-
tisment for the country is he
when he and family 60 back to
their native home, without a
penny, without clothes enough
to keep them warm. ETC., and as
the laws are now, often without
a deed to their homestead no
thing but a memory Of years Of
hardship. Do you suppose that
fellow is going to have any good
word to give our fair land? Dc
you think he is going to advise
his friends TO go out west and
file on a homestead? Not likely,
Make the laws easier, give the
settler more freedom and give
the homeless an opportunity t.
get t~heirhOmes with less expense,
trouble and worry. Fix it So
the Free" homes will not be So
costly and the word Free will
not be so misleading. Of course
some few will prove up sooner
and probably leave the country.
but should the homestead laws
be made easier, for every one
that left there would be two
come. And those few who did
leave would not leave with a
grudge against the country and
instead of knocking would be
boosting. And when conditions
existed that enabled the settler
to make money farming his

farm it and he would not have
to be compelled by law to live

on the sugar beet and irrigation
deal. Up to that time not enough
land had been contracted for to
insure the building of the facto-
ny and it seems as though the a.
mount signed up at that meeting
was to decide whether OF not the
factory would be built.
The Melrose people responded
responded in a way that looked
like they meant business. Every
one, with but very few except
ions. worked for Che proposition
in q way that got results, and a
large amount of land was signed
up; more than was required to
guarantee the factory. tits not
definitely settled yet where it
will be built but the Melrose peo-
pie have much confidence in
themselves in bringing it there.
Melrose has a bunch of fine
business men and farmers, peo-
pie who are wide awake to any

No hester. who has withstood
the hardships Of five years ia a
little shack out ON the plains Of
New Mexico, will disagree with
the lands committee of the sem
ate IN It's effort to reduce the
time ora q homestead from five
to three years and to allow the
hompsteader to leave his claim
fox six months out Of the year in
order to earn enough money to
improve it and to support him
self and family.
AS the best lands of the ma
ton already have been home
steaded. and as the farmers in
the southwest who homesteaded
must usually learn an entire new
system of farming, the more
liberal the provisions of the
homestead act are made, the
better it viii be for all concern
ed, The only thing that should
be guarded against is to prevent
spectators from getting hold of
public domain under the home
stead act. No community wants
its lands homesteaded except by
bonafde farmers who will pro-
duce something besides second
mortgages.
The basic intent Of the home
stead act was to permit the poor
man TO get a home on the land.
Under the nresent act it is often
a gamble as to whether a man
can prove up before he starves
to death or loses his claim while
trying to earn a living.
While the merits of the case
are not as yet fully developed,
and will not be until the COM
.plete text of the new bill is
known, still one thing stands
pre-eminent-t that no man should
have to have from $4,000 to
SIS, 600 before he dare take his
family on a homestead claim.

Never before has there been

be interested in this matter and

TROOPS CHARGE

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. 10.
Without warning and apparent
Ily without cause detachment
of infantry today, aided by 200
police and fifteen cavalrymen,
charged a body of 100 women,
composed of striking textile
workers. who had gathered on
the common here, pleading with
the operatives mot to return to
work and scab."
Three of the women picketers
were arrested on charges of in
timidation and disorderly con-
duct.
The charge came when several
|of the women approached a body
|of men who were on their way
to the mills. No warning to stop
|picketing was given by either the
police or militiamen. Instead
the police and soldiers with
drawn clubs and bayonets swept
down on the body of picketers,
down the women right
land left. Several of the picketers
were thrown heavily to the
ground, sustaining. painful
bruises but no casualties were re-
|ported.
No attempt at retaliation was
made either by the women pick
cts or other strikers. Instead
the women filed quietly and sep
arately to their homes.

W|LLCHARGE:
JAP WITH
MURDER
LETTER SLIPPED UNDER
PROSECUTE RS DOOR
LEADS no FILING OF FIRST
DE(iRNE CHARGES.

T. Nishizaki has been II, dur
ance vile for several days wait
ing for the prosecutors to get evi-
dence enough to file complaint
against him for killing Y. Mimu-
ro at the Defiance mill recently.
Gordon, Easterday and Askern
this morning filed habeas corpus
proceedings to have him released
and as the prosecution had no
real evidence 1t looked good for
Nishizaki.
A letter. however, was slipped
under Deputy Burmeister's door
this morning which tells things.
First 1t stated that Nishizaki
Is a "devilish husband" That
he beat his wife and she died in
agony and that he said he was
glad for he could now get a new
one."
Further the letter read that
Nishizaki is clever and learned
to be tricky when a policeman In
Japan and that he framed up the
defense by Sitting his shirt him
self and then putting his knife
Iii the hands of the man he killed.
1t Is stated that when Nishiza-
XII came back to the bunkhouse
after he shot Mimuro, he said II
was determined to kill that fool.
Look what a good marksman I
am"
In view of the statements In
the letter the prosecution will
file first degree murder charges
against Nishizahi.
