Great American
Navy to
Guarantee
World's Peace.
By RICHMOND P. UOnSON, Contfreinnm from Altbami, rormcr Ntvl Officer.
.-mS3.HE NAVY IS AMERICA'S ONLY NATIONAL INSUR.
ANCE. JAPAN SOON WILL MAKE THE ATTEMPT
TO CONTROL THE PACIFIC, AND WAR WITH THE
UNITED STATES IS INEVITABLE.
Thoro is but ono way for America to enforce penco,
A niwl ilmf u'nv liria in tlin lillildillfr tin of A QltEAT
XAVY, and I believo that tho wholo world is looking
to this nation TO GUARANTEE THE PEACE OF Tim
WOULD.
Tho whito race and the yellow race will clash, and THE FIRST
WAR WILL BE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND
JAPAN. This will bo followed by a general war between tho whito
and yellow races unless by tho building up of a great navy this
country shows Japan tho FOOLISHNESS of engaging in ti war with
tho United States.
Japan has ordered $125,000,000 worth of great warships since
her war with Kussia. Japan docs not need theso ships against Russia,
China or Great Britain. Japan has added five divisions to her army
Binco her war with Russia, and the military activities of Japan havo
moro than doubled sinco that trouble camo to a close. Tho United
States haa furnished thorn 750,000 rifles. Japan can put 200,000 sol
diers aboard ships inside of four days.
Tho Japanese could land 400,000 soldiers on tho Pacific slopo in
four months, another 400,000 in six months moro and a million men
in a year. They could put TEN SOLDIERS TO OUR ONE on
tho Pacific slopo, Japan will havo eight now battleships ready for
eervico soon, any ono of them equal in effectiveness to thrco of ours.
If they get tho Pacific ocean they will take tho Pucific slope.
THE JAPANESE HAVE EDUCATED THEIR PEOPLE TO HATE
AMERICANS, AND THE PEOPLE ARE ONLY AWAITING THE GOV
ERNMENT'S 8IQNAL TO GO TO WAR. THE GOVERNMENT 13
AWAITING ONLY A PRETEXT.

Wall Street a Fixed
And Crooked Game.
By ALrRCO O. CUOZIUR. Lawyer, of Wlimlntfton, Del.
rjTjTW HEREVER I go all over tho country I find tho victims of
C C I WftU 8trcot' 1T IS A F1XED AND OROOKED GALE
PROM BEGINNING TO END. It is a gamo put up
by tho insiders against thoso who aro without, and tho lat
tor always lose. Your financial games do MORE HARM than
all of tho other gambling devices combined.
Every panic is followed by a crop of suicides. It is a principlo
of law that a man is morally responsible for tho result of his acts.
THESE WALL STREET MEN MAKE PANICS FOR THEIR OWN
8ELFI8H ENDS. THEY KNOW THAT THE VIOLENT DEATH OF
MANY WILL FOLLOW. FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CANNOT SEE
WHY THEY ARE NOT GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER, IF NOT OF
MURDER IN A HIGHER DEGREE.
Some peoplo camo out of tho recent panic WEARING HALOS.
I believe thcio sumo men CREATED THE PANIC FOR THEIR
OWN LAWLESS ENDS. But whether they actually created tho
panic or whether they simply took ndvnntago of it is of littlo conse
quence to tho industries forced thereby to go upon tho bargain counter
and to bo bought up by tho same halo wearing gentlemen.
I KNOW THAT THESE SAME INTERESTS NOW PRACTICALLY
DOMINATE EVERY MILE OF RAILWAY IN THE UNITED STATES
AND THAT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THEY CONTROL THE EN
TIRE FINANCIAL INTERESTS OF THE COUNTRY. THEY ARE AT
THI8 MOMENT LAYING PLANS TO SEIZE THE CONTROL OF THE
POLITICAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES DURING THE
COMING NATIONAL CAMPAIGN BY FORCING NOMINATIONS OF
MEN WHO WILL GOVERN THE COUNTRY IN THEIR INTEREST.
They would reverse all of tho advances mado in recent years.
Shall wo turn over to them tho ono remaining thing essential to make
their strongly grasp on the throat of tho country completo ? I refer
to the control they desire over the entire volumo of tho currency of
tho people. They wish the power to expand and contract it at will as
n means of raising and lowering tho prices of listed securities.
United States Should Expand
From Panama to the Arctic.
Dy JOHN A. JOHNSON, Governor of Minnesota.
mORLD power is a great thing, but centralization of power
is fraught with dancer. I inclino to tho belief that it is
W tho bankers rather than tho system (of currency) that
causo or prevent trouble.
NO CORPORATION SHOULD BE PERMITTED BY LAW TO ISSUE
A SHARE OF STOCK THAT DOES NOT STAND FOR PAID IN
CA8H AND CERTIFIED BY STATE EXAMINATION.
If wo havo a Hawaiian wart on the natiouiJ noso and a Philippine
hump on Undo Sam's back, doubtless wo wi'l havo to look out for
them.
It may bo that tho Japanese situation demands an extension of
our preparations. In fact, I do not object to naval progress or our
keeping up with the procession, but I CANNOT AVOID RE
GRETTING that our national policy, instead of going after distant
islands, did not move in tho direction of extending tho boundaries of
the United States FROM THE PANAMA CANAL TO THE
ARCTIC OCEAN not by conquest, 6f course, but by FRIEND
SHIP, ALLIANCE, CONCORD AND AMALGAMATION. If
Moxico and Canada wore states of our Union thero would bo no neces
sity of groat fleets. Even as it is, what country would venture- to
attack us?
I DO NOT CONSIDER THAT IT IS THE PROVINCE OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ASSUME THE POWERS THAT, A3 A
MATTER OF THE LAW OF THE LAND, APPERTAIN TO THE
BTATES.
Tho Commissioner of the General
land offlco and Secretary of tho In
terior lmvo issued tho following In
structions to Registers nnd Receivers
with reference to the allowance of see
ond entries under provisions of tho
rcccut act. It should bo noted in
this connection that corroborating
witnesses aro required. Tiio Depart
ment also submits snmplo of a blank
suggested for this purpose, and snme
is now being printed and will bo for
salo by tho Semi-Weekly Times, wher
all orders will bo filled:
"1. Tho act of February 8, 1908,
(Public No. 18), allows a person
othcrwiso qualified to make a second
homestead entry where Biich person
lms mado and lost, forfeited, or aban
doned a former homestead entry prior
to tho passage of Bald act, and such
former outry was not cancelled ior
fraud nor abandoned or relinquished
for a consideration.
"Tho person applying to make sec
ond homestead entry under this act
must file in tho local land office an
application to enter a specific tract
of public land subject to homestead
entry, accompanied by his affidavit
executed before an officer authorized
to administer oaths in homestead
caseB, Btaung description of former

numbers (or number of entry and
name of land offlco where made):
dato of entry; when ho lost, forfeited,
or abandoned the sumo; that it was
not cancelled for fraud, and whether
ho received anything for abandoning
his claim or relinquishing the
entry. This affidavit must bo
corroborated by tho affidavit of one
or moro persons having knowledge of
tho facts relative to tho abandonment
of his claim or tho relinquishment of
tho formre entry, which corrobrated
affidavit may bo executed before any
officer authorized to administer oaths,
and having an official seal.
"3. Section 2 of the act of June 5,
1900, (31 Stat, 207), allows a second
homestead entry to a person other-
I wiso qualified who, prior to the date
of tho act. mado homestead entry
find commuted same under the provi
sions of section 2301, Revised Statu
tes, and the amendments thereto, but
such second entry is not subject to
commutation.
"1. Tho act of May 22, 1902, (32
Stat., 203), allows a second home
stead entry to a person otherwise
qualified who, prior to May 17, 1900,
made and perfected a homestead en
try, paying therefor tho prlco provided
under tho law opening tho land for
battlement, but to which land, had he
not perfected title prior to the date
mentioned, he would havo been en
titled to receive a patent without pay
ment under tho "frco homes act."
Said act does not allow commutation
unless proof submitted on land first
entered shows fivo years residence.
"3. A person applying to make sec
ond entry under tho provisions of
tho acts described in paragraph 3
and 4, of a specific tiact of public
land subject to homestead entry, must
filo with such application his affi
davit, describing his original entry
by section, township, and range
numbers (or number of tho entry and
name o& the land offlco where made),
dato of the entry and dato when
final entry was made therefor. As
tho facts required to be shown in
support of such application are mat
ters ot record no corroboration will
be necessary.
"C. When an application is pres
ented tho register and received will
examine same and, if not executed
beforo a proper officer, or (when
mado under tho act of February 8,
1908) if not corroborated, or If other
wise fatally defective, they will re
ject tho same subject to appeal. Up
on proper showing the register and
receiver may, if tho person Is entitl
ed thereto, allow second homestead
entry to be made, and must indorse
upon tho application and receiver's
duplicate receipt: "Allowed under sec
tion 2 of the act of Juno 5, 1900," or
"Act of May 22, 1902," or "Act of
February 8, 1908," as the case may
be.
"8. In the absence of legislation
by Congress extending the home'
stead right, tho making of one home
stead entry exhausts the homestead
right, and this Department is without
authority in such cases to allow sec
ond homestead entries to bo made.
When applications to make second
entry are presented, aud applicants
fall to show that they come within
tho nurviow of any of tho acts of
Congress allowing second homestead
eutries, registers and receivers will
reject such applications, giving tho
reasons therefor and allowing the
usual right of appeal.
"9. All pending applications will be
considered and disposed of under these
regulations."

Special Agent Wilson left last night
on 42 for Alliance.
It is understood that a new time card
will go into effect April 5. There will
be but very few changes in the present
schedule of trains on the main line.
Crews on the branch will run from
Toluca to Greybull and return and from
Greybull to Kirhy and return instead
of running through as heretofore.

cated at Sheridan as assistant train
master, but who has headquarters at
Alliance now, was in Sheridan today

water on the engine lead near the round
house this morning the switch engine
which was working on the lead collided

the smaller engine and badly damaging
the tender aud engine tank. The
wreckage was cleared in a few hours,
however, and the lead track made upon
for business again.
