At the age of seventy-eight, after
taring seen two generations rise and
pass away; a former Governor of Ne
vada, a mine owner of great wealth,
a United States Senator for eighteen
years, William M. Stewart for long
known as the “Santa Claus’’ of the
Senate, is starting life anew amid the
gold fields of Nevada.
With the virility of youth this robust
and hearty old-timer, says a dispatch
from Rhyolite, Nev., has, with his
young bride started lu to make another

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

who want to reap where they have not

succeeded in cornering large sec-

revelations of the land frauds in
the West are worthy

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
