At Mukden tbe temper ature sometimes reaches a very low de gree. During tbe day, however, the cold is not excessive, and sometimes in the middle of the winter the sun’s rays become very warm, on account of the southerly position of that locality.

If that Is true, says the Detroit News Tribune, it fol lows that legislatures have no right to make regulations which will permit the cornering of opportunities for self employment. The United States laws governing our national domain of land were originally designed to conform to the rights of man. Our homestead acts were design« <1 to place tlie land in the hands of those who would actually use it productively, and much of the land was so parcelled out to the great advantage of society. But cun ning lawyers and unscrupulous men who want to reap where they have not sown, who seek to avoid productive la bor themselves by controlling the op portunities of wlf-einployment, have succeeded in cornering large sec- tions of the United States. The revelations of the land frauds in the West are worthy . of great at- tntion. but they excite less inter est than do our troubles with President Castro of Venezuela. The astonishing fact is learned that one man has acquired nearly 23.000 square miles of public land. He does not want to use it himself, and Ms only object is to make others pay him for the privi lege of using it.
