reason that so many thousands of our
people have been migrating to Canada
in recent years is because Canada has
in effect more liberal land acts than
this country. In contrasting the nat
ural conditions Of the Canadian north
west with those of Montana, Congress
man Stout said:
II live not far from the Canadian
line. meet almost daily people who
have been up to the Wanted grain
fields of the Canadian northwest, the
section to which most of our people
have been going. From my converse
ton with these people, / know we have
better land in Montana than they have
in Canada. The weather is far less
severe, the necessary element of moist
ure is more certain, the yield vastly
more bountiful and the conditions gen.
orally more congenial to those who
were born and reared in the atmos-
phere of our own form of government.
Montana has no lack of good land left.
Twenty million acres remain unappro-
priated, just lying out there idle in the
best country on earth waiting for the
homeless to come and claim it. But
the Canadian government has offered
more liberal inducements to settlers
than we, they have evolved a system
of which SanSa1ace rod tame ic not a
predominant element. But thanks to
the wise administration of the affairs
of the interior department by Franklin
K. Lane, we are drawing back from
the frost-bitten prairies of Alberta,
Manitoba and Saskatchewan thous-
ands of the good people who have been
expatriated by reason of our short
sighted policy"

STOUT WANTS
QUICKER ACTION

Washington, June 27.-Congressmar
Tom Stout of Montana made an ear
nest appeal in the house today for re
form in the procedure of the depart
r,ent of the interior whereby appeals
in public land cases taken up to the
office of the secretary may be more
expeditiously handled. The house had
under consideration the conference re-
port on the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill which came
back from the senate with an amend
n1ent providing for the creation of a
board of appeals of three members to
act upon appeals from the commits
sioner of the general land Office. The
Montana representative was one of the
leaders in the debate on the question
Of concurring with the amendment
which had the effect of sending the
amendment back to conference for
further consideration.
Congressman Stout dwelt at some
length upon the injustice which set
tiers on the government domain have
had to suffer through delays in hav-
ing their claims adjudicated by the
department of the interior. He said
in part:

THE FIRST PROGRESSIVE"

Just before the Mexican war attrac-
ted all of the attention available the
newspapers of the state were engag-
ed in a warm discussion of about
every character of history, classifying
the notables as either "progressives"
or "reactionaries." About everybody
from Moses down to Hayes Lewis was
mentioned but We wish to remind the
editors who discussed this weighty
subject that they made a serious omis-
sion. They did not tell us who was the
first progressive" and the first "reac-
dictionary" Editors who evidently
starred in ancient history in their
school days have told us all they
knew of the progressive and reac-
tionary qualities of julius Caesar,
Pompey, Thomas Jefferson, Napoleon,
Cyrus the Great, Nero, Nebuchadnez-
Ear, Satan and the old woman who
beat the waves of the sea with a
broom but have not written a word
about the first progressive" and the
first "reactionary."
This takes u back to the Garden Of
Eden, where Eve, ''the fairest of her
daughters all' persuaded Adam to
take a bite of ''the fatal fruit whose
mortal taste brought sin and death
into the world" Eve, who wanted to
try something which had not been
sampled before, was undoubtedly the
first progressive" Adam, who was
satisfied with the glories of Eden and
was reluctant to make experiments,
beyond doubt was the first reaction
ary." Eve was responsible for the
settlement of Satan's proposal by the
referendum, Immediately thereafter
causing the first recall in history.
Chroniclers do not mention it, but
it is reasonable to suppose that Eve
persuaded Adam to try thh tango after
they left Eden.-Pensacola News.
