We are acustomed to hearing the congestion of cities talked about as though the congestion were a matter of choice. The in­ flux of country boys to the towns is generally attributed to the al­ lurements and more attractive work and greater opportunities af­ forded by city life. But the rush for homes in the Rosebud reservation tell a decid­ edly different story. The registration of applicants runs far beyond the 100,000, tho’ only 2500 quarter sections are to be drawn. There are 40 appli­ cations for each farm. Nor are the farms to be had fol nothing. On the contrary, each of the lucky drawers must, within five years of the time of the allot­ ment, pay for his land at the rate of $4 per acre, and must actually make his home on the land during a period of 14 months. This army of 100,000 people is an army of home seekers. They are people who prefer the country to the city and seek only opportu­ nity to follow their choice. They are, moreover, not among the poor, hut must have at least a little money. They are of a class who desire the land for home, not for speculating. * * * These figures ought to be suf­ ficient to open the eyes to the fact that the congestion of the cities is not a condition of choice. These figures suggest that asso­ ciations of those who deplore this congestion and are willing to aid in relieving, might find a way by helping to create a fund to be used in aiding the unfortunate in the cities to securing homesteads in the west. Senator Hoar has a bill in con­ gress through which it is designed to set aside a national fund for this purpose. The Rosebud incident proves that the people are more than will­ ing Io go the farms if opportunity be afforded them. Seattle Star. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
