The New Homestead Law.

The liberality of our government
in dealing with those who want to
establish homes upon the public land
is again shown by the new Home
stead Act passed on June 9Th and
signed by the President. Under this
law entrymen can make proof in
three years by showing an actual
residence of seven months each year;
thus an entrymanr can hereafter Sc
cure patent to his land by FL months
residence during three years. time
instead of the 60 months continued
residence heretofore required.
The new law permits those who
have already lived upon their claims
three years an opportunity to offer
proof now and secure patent to their
homesteads.

Serious Auto Accident.

Monday evening as G. S. Fore
man was returning to town after a
drive in his Ford car he had an &C.
cident that will probably lay him up
for several days. Three miles west
of town the car struck short,
rut, and wrenched the front wheels
in such a way as to turn the car
completely over. They were travel
ing at speedy rate, as the roads
seemed apparently in good shape,
and the wreck damaged the car
severely. The windshield was bfok-
en-, also the tenders, run board and
part of the car frame. The occu-
pants were all thrown out and some
of them severely injured.-Lamoni

HEARST IS SCORED
BY CHICAGO LABOR
Continued from Page 1.

Continued from Page 1.
Hearst had an awakening. He learned
the labor unions could not be bought
nor controlled, and that it is impos-
sibie for a politician to use them for
papers nor his gold would avail him
in his efforts to make them deliver
up their votes to him.
''Since this awakening Mr.. Hearst
reversed the attitude Of his news
papers toward the labor movement,
and for the last few years his string
of newspapers has teemed with the
most maliciously viciouz lies, dis
torted facts, innuendo of the most
scurrilious type, truths half told
the most unmanly way of lying
weak unions undermined, strong
unions villified, strikes ridiculed and
declared wanton, and officers and
members of labor organizations from
one end of the country to the other
bounded, stigmatized, decried, ac-
cused of any crime, real or supposed,
slandered, browbeaten and intirn-
idated
News Is Manufactured.
"All Of the foregoing is proven by
the attitude of the Hearst papers in
this city during the Street Car Mems
strike, the Transfers strike, the
Stock Words strike, the Garment
Workers strike, and the Illinois Gen.
trail Railroad strike, where the scare
head line of seveninch red ink type,
followed by well guarded story of
some wild-eyed scheme in which the
union or some striker was involved
mis-shapeen implements of all de-
scriptions were pictured as the only
possessions of the strikers-all of
which was done to discredit the
unions and inflame public opinion
against our movement, because Mr..
Hearst could not cajole or lure the
labor unions into his political camp.
This same kind Of campaign has
been carried on by Hearst against
organized labor in Boston, Mass, Los
Angeles and San Francisco, Calf,
and the Miners unions in the Black
Hills employed by the Hearst estate.
Challenge Is Issued.
The Chicago Federation OF Labor
resolves that We condemn the vicious
anu lyluS dlldChS upon INC Objects
and members of labor unions and
| upon labor organizations, and more
especially the villification heaped
| upon the president Of the American
Federation Of Labor by the Hearst
! newspapers.
I'VE deem it a certain mark of
esteem and truly an exhibition of de-
votion to the cause of the workers,
that should surely merit the conf
dence of the rank and file of our
| membership, for any officer or men,
Der to be attacked by the Hearst
papers, knowing full we'll that only
honest, fearless men who refuse to
become Hearst chattels or who re-
fuse to deliver themselves and their
fellows to Hearst's political hal
fluctuations will ever be so attacked,
"Mr. Hearst's character and con-
duct, industrially, politically and
| journalistically, are so saturated with
egotism, ambition and avarice as to
place him outside of the pale of in
fluence with any self-respecting lib
erty-loving organization of men,"

SUFFRAGE FACTS.

Over a million women in the United
States have full political rights
Washington, Colorado, Idaho and
Utah women vote for president, vice.
president, congressman and all coun-
try and city officials.
Utah, woman suffrage state, has
the largest proportion of home own
ers of any state in the union.
In Denver the women cast fifty
five per cent of the vote in the large
residence wards, and only four per
cent in the "Slum" wards.
Working women need the ballot to
regulate conditions under which they
work. Do working men think they
can protect themselves without the
right to vote?
