Chicago Tribune. . LAND LAW FIGHT IS ON. .Congress has caught the spirit of the West. The great issue that is convulsing the public mind on tho Pacific Coast, is now the ruling topic in the hails of the national legisla ture.! The shot llred at tho Ogden irriga tion convention is echoing in Wash ington. The battle of tho giants, wit nesses by tho delegates in the Utah cay is clashing again, with renewed strategy and vigor. Shall the public domain bo exploit ed by speculators or shall it be trans mitted as a heritage to the people? This is the issue. It takes precedence over Cuban sugar schedules and Panama caiial treaties. It oversnailows Smoot's puiygunj-, itauna-s presidential am bition, and Carrie Isations onslaughts, It towers abovo tho tariff and silver issues like Mount Hood abovo the spires of Portland. The East Is in favor of the repeal of the desert land act, the tim.er and stone act and tho commutation clause of the homestead act. Tho West has driven tho East to this belief by per mitting, practicing and nurturing systematic, studied, wholesale laud frauds. The West has abused these laws. The priceless heritage of tho people has been made the prize of tho spoils man and the plaything of the official. Talk about landlordism in Kansas, Illinois and Nebraska, where English and German synuicntcs own town ships and counties. TIioho princely holdings do not compare with tno tracts of timbor land acquired through fraud and perjury by West ern lumber and range companies. This practice has turned tiie West against these laws. Homoateaders arc welcome and needed in tho Wost, but they soon will find fraudulent titles covering the entire public -main. Transient untrymen, hirelings, dummies and crooked filings are ac tive agencies everywhere there is public land. Now that the rrospect for the re peal of these laws is very good, rail roads, lumber companies and range syndicates arc rushing entrymen to tho remnant of the public domain. tMWIons of acres arc passing out of tho hands of tho government, yearly, and not one filing in twenty repre sents a home. Within twenty years more tho gov ernment will bo forced to buy back thin prlcoless area from the nyndl eates to make homes for tho people. If some check is not placed upon tho avarice of tho speculator. Tho Wyndham Irish land bill will have to bo enacted in tho United States to Hiipply t..o masses with homes. Tho government will be com pelled to .pay tho landlords of tho West tor the great domain stolen from tho people, and tno Araorican peasant of tho next century will bo as homeless as tho Irish peasant of Urn twentieth century unless- theso lawH aro repealed and conciess comes to tho rescue or tho public domain. Every filing hereafter should moon tho foundation of a homo. A letter from an Oregon boy in Nome at tho ond of tho northern Umtt of land, on tho western hemis phere, starts In motion an interesting chain of thought. Tho restless spirit which sent this boy to tho last fron tier on tho continent is well founded. His father left Missouri for Califor nia In 1819, when tho gold fovor struck the world; his grandfather came from Kentuc.iy to Missouri In io2S, when civilization crowded him too' closely; his great-grandfather came from Virginia to Kentucky in 1812, because ho wanted moro room and freedom; his great-great-grand-. father came from England to Virgin la In 17S5, because bo was too rest less to bo Jostled in tho crowded con tors of the old world, and tho older members of tho family emigrated troni Normnndy, France', to England, in 17-10. Tho family history of this boy and of thousands of other Ore gon boys is one succession of jumps Irom one wild frontier to another. They have been loft n legacy of dis content and testlcssncss which can not bear .confinement in tho crowded centers. Tho story of tho emigration of a raco from Normandy in 1740, to Alaska In 1003, is one of tho most thrilling historical dramas that could bo pictured. It Includes tho conquest of the American continent, tho pas sage from one wilderness to nnothor, until this boy linds himself on tho border of the western hemisphere, on the wildest and the only frontier loft on the comment. Polygamy is no worse than the con tract mnrrlogu law of California, yet thousands of young lives have been blighted by that law, and advocates of it have sat In congress year after year without a protest from anybouy. All the hell on earth is not confined to polygamy, however, detestable It may be. Tho suicide record of California, greater than that of nny other state In the Union, is a startling testimoni al to tho norror of i..e social condi tion, there bred and engendered by tiie contract marriage law. John .Mitchell threw a bomb into the meeting of tho Federation of Labor, at Boston, yesterday, when ho declared that labor unions should not take socialism into their organ! zations, as part of the union. Ho also said that no' political party should interfere with tho sacred prin ciples of unionism, in its dealings with tiie world. The socialist mem hers of the federation had hoped to secure the adoption of n radical so cialistic plank by the national fed eration, thereby clinching the doe trine of socialism, as the creed of tho federation anil coercing unions not in favor of this move into accoptlng tho alternative of adopting socialism. Love is some times a hard task master He drives women to tasks be yond their strength and lays heavy bur dens on their shoulders. Love of husband, love of family, forces many a. woman day by day to labor for the borne when aching back and throbbing head make herl ut tcrly unfit for household duties. Weak, nervous women who suffer from headache, back ache, bearing-down pains and other con sequences o? womanly disease, can be completely cured by the use of Doctor Pieroe's Favorite Prescription.
