As all of tho public landa In tho state, national or state, ,havo been nbsorbed ns abovo stated, tho question now Is, what can tho state or nntlon do nbout It? Ought n vested right obtnlnod through .trickery or fraud bb hold Becrod7 Lnw and equity holds that tho rights of tho public aro suporlor to thoso of a corporation or Individual.

This bolng truo, thos,o high 'financiers who havo gobbled lands from tho Htnto and nntlon In square iiiIIob nnd townships, ought not complain if they rocolvo tholr monoy bnck nnd nro dtspo3S0Hscd, If somo lnw should bo onnctod by cnngrosB nnd tho stnto loglslaturo to repossoss tho nntlon nnd stntcs of nil lnnds hold for spec-, ulnttvo purposes, everybody In tho nntlon, save tho guilty holders, would say "anion." Of cours'o tho honest settlor, whether It bo upon govorn ment or stnto lands, should not bo disturbed, for tho object of recover ing thorfo lnnds to tho stnto and nn tlon Is thnt they may bocomo tho homo of Industrious, homo-loving citizens. Tho federal govornmont should pursuo a similar policy to wards corporations thnt linvo fraudu lently obtained conl lnnds. Tho public domnln rightfully be longs to nil tho pooplo; llkowiso docs tho coal and oil within tho bosom of tho onrth, nnd tho public is dofrnml od whonovor Individuals or corpora tions nro allowed to gobblo thorn up at n fraction of tholr vnluo.

Tho nation or Btnto would do no wrong nor an Injustice should theso lands which have been secured by fraud be reclaimed.

Tho lnw placing a limit for which a man can bo prosecuted for offenses of 'this character is but n shield for rascnllt bo prosecuted for offenses of this character 1.8 but a shield for rascals to hldo behind.
