service to the state in the making
of family, has a homestead right. "A
deserted woman is a qualified nome
steader. on the theory perhaps that
an opportunity to work on the nome
stead may bring back a shiftless NUS
band.
The dominant idea of the law Is
the making of the home. The law
works through the head of the lam
lily because the fate of the family
hangs on the fortunes of the head
thereof. In the event of the death
OF the head of the family the nome
stead right by statute remains in the
family. 1t can not be devised away
from it.
Three Years Residence
Until 1912 a period of five years
residence and cultivation was requlr'
ed before title might be secured. Inc
homesteader was permitted to be aD'
sent from his homestead much as ne
might be absent for any reason from
his home elsewhere, and he was ex'
pected to cultivate as much of his
land as he was able to cultivate. I'm
der the provisions of the three year
homestead act of 1912, the period OF
residence was reduced to three years
and it is required that the settler
at the end of the three years when
he submits his proof, shall have In
cultivation at least one-eighth of the
area entered. The second year of his
entry the hOmesteader must have at
least one-sixteenth of the total area
in cultivation. Under this act, more
ever, the homesteader is required to
show an actual residence on the land
of at least seven months each year
and his absences from the land may
be taken for a period of but five
months, each year, and upon notice
to the land office.
Alaska Settler Not a Trespasser
Even in Theory.
The settler of Alaska is protected
in his act of settlement by more thar
an extreme liberal policy Of the gov
eminent that forbids that lands un
The Alaska daily empire., 1915-01-01

reserved at the time of settlement
shall, by executive order, be taken
away from him. For the first time
since colonial days, if we except the
donation laws relating to Oregon and
other Territories it may be stated
that a general Act Of Congress has
provided that a settler may approp-
rate a part of the public domain in
advance of the survey thereof, and by
his act of settlement acquire legal
right to enter-a right, if not prop
erty right, at least one of the larger
equity than that acquired by settle
ment elsewhere.
It might be possible if the columns
of The Empire were as long as
New York Ballot to show how the
American settler has dominated all
other land laws of the United States,
including the mining laws, and how
in turn, the government has taken
the mining law-its procedure-as
guide in providing for the appropria-
ton of unsurveyed lands in Alaska.
BY the Act of March 8, 1903, the
Alaska Settler may locate on land in
advance of the public survey, secure
a private survey of his 800 acres
the law gives him double the area he
can get in the States-and make en-
try of the same. Although he ac-
quires no part of the legal title, his
act of settlement upon unreserved
land is believed to be the acceptance
of an offer of the government that
may not be withdrawn without
disregard of superior equity of the
settler.
Little did thrifty King Hal and the
jovial Captain know of the tremen-
dous consequences of their compact
to hog the commercial resources Of
the new world. Only stark amaze
ment could have followed their dis
covery that their profitless deal was
to admit a host of partners who would
absorb all the profits leaving the old
King and his one good man twing-
ing and twiddling their fingers.

land for 25 cents an acre amounted

remarkable objection that;

Notwithstanding so notable an
objection by the President the pres
ent homestead law was forced on May
20. 1862. On December 3, 1865, con-
corning this act, Andrew Johnson
stated:
"The homestead policy was

A Home Building Law
With some modification, the home
stead law of 1862 was the homestead
law of the land until 1912. In prin-
ciple it is the law today. The quail
fications of a homesteader are those
of the old pre-emptor. He must be

OUGHT TO BE LARGE

1t seems generally agreed among
Democrats that Mr.. Stanley's ma
jority in November will or ought to
be about the same over his opponent
as it was in the recent primary. And
it will be if there are no reflections
from the ticket. Kentucky is a
Democratic State-there is no doubt
about that. 1t has only been when
there was a split in the party upon
some question that the Republicans
have won--not by virtue of the most
votes, but clearly the fault of the
Democrats themselves. There is no
reason for any party division now.

In this issue The News presents
the Democratic ticket, made in the
recent primary, and we feel that it
is a very strong one. With Mr..
Stanley at the head-a man Of
broad experience in the affairs of
government, whose ability and cour-
age has been highly valued by his
congressional district and our Ma
tional Congress, no one need fear a
draggy administration Of the States
business after he has been Inaugural
ted Governor.
His associates on the ticket are
men of recognized ability, whose de-
votion to party and good govern
ment is appreciated to no small de-
gree. So far as we are able to as
certain the fitness Of each and every
nominee adds strength to the hope
of good government with progress
i've ideas. Under such conditions
the ticket will undoubtedly receive

TENNESSEE FOR HIN

The Robertson County News, pub
lished at Springfield, Tenn, pays
the following tribute TO A. o. STAN
ley, the Democratic nominee for
Governor Of Kentucky:
1n the primary held in Ken
lucky Congressman A. o. Stanley,
of Henderson, won the Democratic
nomination for the governorship by
a majority which will go over forty
thousand votes. Mr.. Stanley has
hundreds of friends in Robertson
county who were grati6ed to learn
of his victory. The Kentucky Con-
gresham is one of the best friends
that the tobacco growers ever had
in Congress and when the fight was
between the growers and the trust
Mr.. Stanley spoke all over the
Black Patch in behalf of the tobac-
co growers organization and as a
member of Congress he made a
brilliant record in the investigation
of the workings of the steel trust"

ALL FOR STANLEY

From what we can gather every
Democrat in Lincoln county will sup
port the splendid ticket nominated
some ten days ago. Supporters OF
Mr.. McChesney are disappointed
and there is reason why they should
be, but they are rallying to the
standard like men and will be found
in line when the November election
comes. Looks like Stanley's plu-
rality in August will be small thing
as compared with his majority in
November. And so mote it be-

SUPPORT THE NOMINEE

Democracy means government by
the people-let the will of the peo-
pie prevail. Of course in any cleo
ton every Democrat has his choice
of individual men, aspirants for
Office, but when the election is over
and the ballots are counted, all true
Democrats will abide by the result,
and accept it cheerfully as embody-
ing their party's ticket, the choice
of the majority. To do otherwise
is to court party disaster and de-
feat. Parties win victories BY
united action, by yielding personal
choice to party supremacy.-Bour-
