The Country Suits Him

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Being a constant reader of your daily paper, as good paper as there is in the southwest, 1 noticed an edi- torial of the 18th about what the new corners think of Phoenix. Now, am newcomer and will try to give you my honest, heartfelt opinion of this won derful country. l am man of 3S and have spent 22 years of my life in travelling over the world. I have spent about 10 years in Spain. France, Eng land, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Aus tralia, China, Japan and other coun
 tries and islands, and I can honestly say that l have never seen the equal of the Salt River valley and Phoenix.
 Now, this little cold spell and rain is nothing. The unusual is liable to happen anywhere. The climatic con ditions of this beautiful city and valley simply cannot be equaled elsewhere take it from one who has seen and knows. l am only an everyday man working for everyday wages, and be- lieve me. those everyday wages are going to buy me home in this city.
 l have been P years in finding this place, but after long years of travel and patience l have found my ideal camping ground. May others take notice. Long be the life and prosperity of Phoenix and the Salt River valley. the garden spot of the world. and [ know for I have studied the people and climatic conditions of the world
 I am and will be. as long as live here. | which I hope will be the remainder of my earthly sojourn, one of your regu- lar readers. J.W.E

One Thina the Coal Strike Did

Among the acts of the Non partisan league of North Dakota it set out to create a earth, was to seize and socalize the Ignite coal mines of against the protests of the private owners of them. The mines have been returned to the owners and the miners returning to work the basis of their existing contract.
 By vote of three two the supreme court of North Dakota recently denied the right of the Non partisan governor. Frazier, to take the coal mines and to set himself up mighter than the courts. Two of three judges denying that right were elected by the Non partisan league Perhaps they might nave decided favor of the governor, for suppose that any who would accept nomina- ton by the league would stay with it through thick and thin. unless there extraordinary force brought in to change his course.

 One of them, and until lately, staunch supporter of the league delivered lesson from the bench that ought to jar even the most ardent Non partisan He said that there had been too much pandering the in North Dakota. In consequence of their having the wind, the people were reaping the whrlwind.

BY A TRAVELLING MAN

Where do you go from here How tired I get of that phrase Out of the year it greets my ear Three hundred and sixty five days: As I leave home after a rest The conductor on the train Takes grip of my mileage strip And fires it at me again The hotel man gets sociable As pay for his high-priced cheer And drops my bill in his yawning till With Where do you go from here?' The barber stands with tip in his hand And as I disappear,
 Come in again?' he yells, and then Say, where do you go from here?" The friends I meet upon the street Keep dinging it in my ear Their only song the whole day long Is. Say, where do you go from here?" Till at last dreamed, and to me it seemed That my time had come to die, And with angels bright took my flight To the pearly gates on high. St. Peter stood in thoughtful mood At the foot of the golden stair, But raised his eyes as we drew nigh And asked with doubtful air, Your papers, please; what ais your knees?" Then grinning from ear to ear. "Oh. you are one of those travelling men. Well, where do you go from here?'

GIVING AWAY THE EARTH

ous history. They were generously endorsed in theory, but nothing ade- quate has been done. Some of the western states have passed progress slve land laws, but that is all.
 MT. Magnusson tells the story of our public lands from the first. In the beginning the national government did not own any lands, but these were ceded to it by the various states. It began by selling these lands in large parcels to various individuals and companies in order to raise money to pay off the Revolutionary war debt. Lands now worth hundreds of dollars an acre were sold for less than dollar an acre. Later the government began selling land to set tiers on credit--a system which re- suited in nothing but confusion. II also tried selling lands for cash to set tiers. Then about 1S41 it began mak- ing great grants of land to railroads which have caused so much trouble and litigation since
 Along about 1S4O a situation began to arise much like the present one in that there was great deal of un- rest in the country. Then, as now bCiitN Ct ttidl IH6 id1lU offered the solution of the difficulty
 and the agitation began which fl. nally led to the passage of our pres. ent homestead law George Henry Evans, an Englishman by birth was 2 leader in this movement and was per | haps our first land reformer. He was backed up by Horace Greeley with his New York Tribune, and by the labor organizations which were just begin. ming to grow up with the rise of thu | factory system in New England. H,
 was opposed by the New England manufacturers who were afraid that t,

 result in raising the wages of labor
 In other words, the lineup in that dis tant day was surprisingly like th l lineup on the land question now, ex | cept that now, perhaps, some of tn capitalists are in favor of a progres sive land policy as cure for unrest Evans stood for the same basi principles as the more radical of tn
 land reformers today. He believed tha l land should be given free to actua
 settlers in homesteads of equal size
 and that the settlers should not hay

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
Behind the Veil
Dec. i, 1919.

Dec. l, l3l9. Editor Arizona Republican,:
 In your issue of today you carry as news item narrative of certain com munications received from dsem- bodied entities inhabiting the spirit ual planes Such communications have been very prevalent during and since the great war.
 Since the matter has been brought to the attention of your Phoenix read CTS 1 feel that it is an obligation you owe to those who may attempt such practices and experiments to warn them that there is a very grave dan ger in the process, which in very many instances leads to insanity.
 It is far from a gift is a com plete surrender of the faculties. ca pacities and powers which the Great Universal Intelligence or Natu. gave us when we came into being under the great law of personal and moral responsibility. Indeed, it is the very surrender of the soul. The process Is subjectice, passive negative-it leads to complete domination by the control just as hypnosis on our physi- cal plane.
 Any of the methods and instruments in common use today, such as ouja and planchette boards. table rapping, trumpets. mediums, automatic writing etc. ineolve such subjection of our physical and spiritual bodies and their 1 organisms that very little practice l brings complete subiection and we l lose control of those God given pow CTS which are needed to live the life | in accord with divine law as person. ally and morally responsible indiyid- ual intelligences.
 Permit me to suggest to you that you obtain copy of The Great Psy- chological Crime" and after careful reading give us a few of your excel | lent editorials on this matter. The practice is being tried out by so many who have no conception of the proc esses involved that l am quite sure you will receive the grateful and | heartfelt thanks of those whom you may save from a veritable hell-on- earth. If the book is not in the pub lie library, I have a copy which I will be pleased to lend to you. if you so desire and will indicate through the columns of your paper.
 There is a safe and sane process for independent communication with the spiritual world. We are told that it requires intelligence. courage and perseverance. and will be given to those who show themselves duly and truly prepared, worthy and well quail flied.
 Thanking you. and with the hope that you will place this matter be- fore your readers so that they may investigate it before too late, l am,
 Very sincerely and cordially yours.

WASHINGTON. D e. No

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov. S0.- Americans, as a people, have been recklessly giving away or selling for a song their share of the surface of the earth ever since the nation was founded.
 This is the gist of an historial study of our public land policy which has been made by Liefur Magnusson for the labor department.
 The labor department has held all along that the land question is at the bottom of the present industrial un- rest in this country, and that the fail ure properly to utilize agricultural, lands has much to do with the high cost of living
 It is we'll known that as long as we had a great body of fertile public land in this country there was little unrest. Fifty years ago the immi- grant came to this country because of the opportunity it offered him to become a land owner. Foreigners did not accumulate in cities to form cen ters of agitation. They went west and speedily became American farmers The panics of those early days-of 1878 and before-were ameliorated by the fact that we still had rich pub
 
 lie lands. Laborers out of work and business men who had failed alike went west and took up homesteads.
 Now there are no good public lands left. There are still millions of acres of vacant lands, but nearly all of this area is either grazing land or down. right desert. Expensive reclamation is necessary before any considerable proportion of it can be used for agri- culture. In word, there is no longer any opportunity for the man with little capital or no capital to engage in agriculture. The safety valve which kept the industrial engine from blowing up for so many years has been practically closed. To reopen this safety valve would be way out oi our present difficulties.
 This in brief is the argument of tht labor department, and of all those whC think that the land problem is at tht bottom of our troubles. To reopen thu safety valve of easy access to the soi was the real motive back of all tht Hand for soldiers measures whicl were introduced into this congress and were for while so widely dis cussed. These measures had a court.

 Perhaps. if this contention had arisen to be de- cided in the summertime when there great and urgent need of coal, the supreme court might have fallen back upon the constitution. But the winters of North Dakota cold and claim attention theories.
