RIGHTS OF SETTLERS

August IL, 1916, there was an
Act of Congress passed authoriz-
ing the adjustment of rights of
settlers on a part of the Navajo
Indian Reservation in the State
of Arizona. The said act of Con-
gress is as follows:
BE it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives Of
the United States of America in
Congress assembled, That all
lands which were occupied by
settlers or persons who were en-
titled to make entries thereof,
and submit final proof under the
provisions of the general home
stead law of the United States
prior to thehereinafter mentioned
Executive order and upon the
making and approval of the
public surveys Of such lands,
said Executive order being of
date January eighth, nineteen
hundred, and withdrawing from
sale and settlement a tract of
country lying west of the Navajo
and Moqui Reservations in Ari-
zona, and which lands were i'm
cluded in the said Executive Or
der, are hereby excepted from
the operations thereof, and such
settlers are hereby granted
authority at any time within
ninety days from the approval
hereof to make homestead entry
of not to exceed one hundred and
sixty acres of such land, and
submit final proof of the exist
ence of their rights at the date
of such Executive order of ex-
tension, and patents therefor
shall issue upon payment to the
United States of the legal fees
and purchase price. ("

PROPERLY CONDEMNED

The calling of the grand jury
at the instigation of the former
county attorney, under the plea
that he had several, cases to pre-
sent to the jury for their consid-
Grafton and then sending in his
resignation and leaving the of
fee without conveying this in
formation to his successor, so
that the jury would have some
thing to work, on has been very
properly condemned by the grand
jury.
According to the report of the
grand jury, there was absolutely
nothing before it that could not
have been brought into court
and taken care of there on infor-
nation, and the calling of the
jury, with its attendant expense,
fully exemplifes the asinine
qualities of the former county
attorney.
Under the circumstances, the
newly appointed county attorney
did well to bring any business be-
fore the jury, in the absence of
any material matter to work on,
and the, fact that several indict-
ments were returned by the jury,
is proof of his ability as lawyer
and a prosecutor, something that
has been needed in the county
attorneys Office the past two
years.

NO LAW ENACTED

The Land Office sends out the
following information:
The newspapers throughout
the country announced immedi-
ately after the adjournment of
the recent session of Congress,
that a law had been enacted al
lowing homestead entries for GAO
acres of grazing land.
The newspaper articles were
based on the fact that during the
last day of the session, the Sem
ate passed H. r. 407, "A bill to
provide for stock-raising home
Isteads, and for other purposes. "
but with various amendments.
The House of Representatives
thereafter took no action on the
amended bill, and hence the
measure was not submitted to
the President for approval.
The amended bill will probably
be considered by a conference
committee of the two houses up
on reconvening of Congress next
December.

HUGHES HAMMER NOW
HITS WOMAN'S PARTY

The Chicago Evening Post,
Progressive Republican paper
and member of the Shafer group
that is now supporting Justice
Hughes, now tells the Woman's
Party it is made up of nothing
but press agenting and boasting
and asks, where are its votes?''
The editorial follows:
Where is it?
Where is the vast support
promised Mr.. Hughes by the
famous new Woman's Party?
This party, founded June 9th,
in solemn convention of the Con
gressional Union at the Black
stone Theater, dedicated itself
to securing. woman suffrage by
the Susan B. Anthony federal
amendment. The support of the
Woman's Party was promised
him.
Where is it?
Mighty plans were outlined
for reaching those of the a, 600, :
900 women voters Of the United
States who could be countedgup-
on to swing their states from
Wilson TO Hughes. There were
to be- speechmaking, special
trains, active literature" cam
paigns and "a million billboards,
all working for Mr.. Hughes.
Where are they?
For our part, we hope that
they will not materialize to any
greater degree than they have
done at present. We should not
wonder If Mr.. Hughes felt the
same way about it. Certainly.
he intimated in his suffrage state
ment that he did not want to see
in this country the sex war,
which is the logical product of
a woman's party.
If the Woman's Party proves
itself to have been nine-tenths
press-agenting and boasting, we
shall rest quite content. And
we don't believe that Mr.. Hughes
will lose anything.

Again, what would you have

done that you would have done
otherwise? And, as to things
that you would have done other

be under cultivation are in jungle,
swamps which should be drained

have silos and efficient modern
machinery to add to the volume

vegetable and meat foodstuffs

ton of farm buildings and farm
premises constitute a steady loss
to the farmer. The great hind
rance has been lack of money
for development, extortionate in
terest rates, and often merciless
mortgage holders who have forced
the farmer to sacrifice necessities
to meet the obligations imposed
by rates running as high as 10
per cent.

why have railroad securities

CANNON'S LECTURE
Interesting Description Of
Apostaet's Talk by
Bertha Ellsworth
NORTHERN STATES MISSION,
PERU, INDIANA,

PERU, INDIANA,
August 27, 1916.
DEAR BRETHREN:-While the
elders held service in the hall,
we lady missionaries, with three
| of the saints. went to hear Frank
j. Cannon. He surely brought
some infamous accusations
against Mormonism. During the
course of his lecture, he said he
would read them the command
ment on polygamy, which is
found in Section 1872, of the
Doctrine and Covenants,
which book, Cannon said, was
the Mormon's "holiest of holy
books.
He then asked how many had
read this section. When he saw
the appraised hands of nearly a
dozen in the audience, he. said.
There are just a few of you
who have read it. Everyone
should know what it contains, so
| will read it for you."
But he did not read it to them,
he told it, and he stretched the
truth SO far that he made it APP
pear terrible and ridiculous, to
mostof those assembled. Fortu-
nately, though, he made similar
ly exaggerated reports on sub
jects which most of the audience
were posted on; hence many have
made this statement since the
meeting: IF Cannon would lie
so about the Mormons controlling
the votes of SO many, states and
trusts, he would also lie about
Mormon doctrine. " One of our
investigators made this statement
at the dismissal of the meeting,
II am more a Mormon than |
ever was before.
We prepared an answer for the
papers to Cannon's speech, but
not one newspaperman would
publish it. For" said they,
I'VE viii lose customers if we
publish that for the Mormons. T"
Nor was Cannon's lecture the
only one made against the Nor
mons that night; almost without
an exception, every minister in
this city preached against Nor
monism, calling it a menace and
a terrible religion that should be
put down; but how can they put
it down, when the words of the
Lord found in the Doctrine and
Covenants" Section 3, verse 3,
read: Remember, remember,
it is not the work of God that is
frustrated, but the work of men.
This revelation is being fulfilled
in our behalf in this city, for
never has our tracing been so
profitable and so interesting as it
was last week. Questions were
asked us about our belief and our
organization, which never would
have been asked otherwise.
Splendid opportunity was also
afforded us to talk on Authority"
and other principles in many
homes.
We are positive that Cannon's
visit has given our work boost. |
In conclusion we can say this
of the Ministerial Association of
this city, at whose instance Frank |
J. Cannon came Quoting from
Charles Ellis, in "A Case against
Mormonism. =" Why has Nor
monism been so much misunder-
stood? Simply because the Evan /;
gelical Churches saw in its sue
cess their own downfall and they |
dare not let their own followers +,
know what Mormonism really is,
lest they should embrace it."
Praying the Lord to bless you,
| remain,
Your Sister,
BERTHA ELLSWORTH.
