The Rusebud reservation bill for the opening of that sQction of Indian land containing416 > , OOO acres of land in Gregerory county - ty , S. D. , became a law and was signed last Friday. 'rhe price to be paid in the first three months is $4.00 an acre , after that $3.00 for the nect : : three months , and what is left at the end of six months at $2.50 per acre. It is thought arrangements - ments can be made to put this land on the market by July 1st. The reservation joins Nebraska , which will makQ it convenient for many Nebraskans to file ap- plications. The lottery plan wi1l be adopted in disposing of this land by quarter sections , the the same as wa5 adopted in Oklahoma. The RUPUBLICAN take special pride in the enactment of the Kinkaid land bill into law , It was the RUPUBLICAN that first ! suggested the idea of 640 acres I ' homestead law , two years ago last. winter , in opposition to Dietrich's lease bill. It was in compliance with the REPUBLI- CAN'S suggestion that the legislature - lature , two years ago passed resolutions - solutions against the Di tTich government land lease bill and recommended instead of the Dietrich bill that ongress a.mend the homestead law so as to permit of 640 acre homesteads. : Congress failed to do anything with the matter until Judge Jin- kaid was elected to Congress from the Sixth District. He set ubout at once to lmve the idea enacted into law. It not only gives the young men of this age a : splendid opportunity to get a .tart in life but it will result in I the course of a few years of the entire section covered by the Kinkaid measure becoming populated - lated and developed. Where miles of waste and unoccupied territory exist today , hundreds of small cattle ranches and happy hem s will be built up. 'rhe land that is worth nothing to the counties , state or government will in a comparabvely short time be a sonrce of revenue , not only f9r the occupant , but to the counties , state and government. l'lenty or Moisture. 'fhc continuous rain all day Sunday was greatly appreciated by the citizens of Custer county. While the rain was not heavy it was sufficient. 'rhe unusual depth of moisture retained by the subsoil from the heavy water fa111ast season needs : but little rain fall this year to assure a good crop. The precipitation in the past week was 1.08 inches. This puts the top of the 0i1 it ] fine shape and greatly helps the i winter and spring' grain , pasture and encourages everybody to reo newed efforts.

I f the foundation of a republican form of government is based upon charactcr I fail to see the wisdom of denying to onlt half of the citizens , who have always been accorded equal good character with the other half , the righ t to assist by their ballots , in building - ing the character of the mcceed- ing generatiou worthy of the duties and respoIHiibilities they will soon be callcd upon to as- sume. If I were building a cottage era a mansion for myself and wife to occupy , beautify and adorn by our united effort and if I considered - sidered that she was intelligent enough to be my helpmate , good enough to occupy with me the building when finished , I should feel ashamed and self disgraced if in my egotism for a moment even , I did not counsel and consult - sult her as to its construction , arrangements and adorning. Just so I feel ashamed of the law and public opinion that forbids my better half to assist in build ing up a national character commensurate - mensurate with the structure of a glorioul Republic. If when I approach the ballot box to discharge the duty of every American citizen to the . 'government to wInch he belongs and which belongs , ome officers should , if according to law , say to my son , who is of lawful age to cast his ballot and who had spent oue , two or three year as a soldier in defense of the country and who held an honorable discharge - charge from such service ; I say if the law made it a duty and public opinion backed up that law , for the judges of an election I to say to my son , "Sir , you have no right to cast a ballot here nor elsewhere , " I should not abuse the officers but I would make "Rome Howel" with my denucia- tions of such a law and such a public opinion , and so would you my friend , and so would every other man who had a drop of loyal blood in his veins. Such a law would be like the fugitive slave law , "disgrace the statute books of hell. " I wOl d not stand it a minute , neither would ; you. Now honor bright , don't you think your wife is as intelligent - gent as your son ; has she not as good a right and is there not as much necd for her to exprcss the sum of her conclusions about the proper manner of comluctiug a government "of the people , by the pcople and for the people" a yourself and your son.

'l'he Kinkaid homestead bill , which pro\'ides for L homcstead of MO acres in the sixth district and three counties in the fifth , was pasied by both branches of congress Tuesday. It now only awaits thc signature of Presidlllt ( Roosevelt to become a law. 'l'he report of the conference committee was agreed to in both houses without debate. 'l'h Presid nt has said to Judg Kinkaid that he is in sympathy with the measure and there remains no boubt but he will attach his signature to it before congregd adjourns this week. Ju all probability it was signed ye terda ) ' as Judge Kin- kaid will not re t until the Presi- dent's signature is attached. Judge Kinkaid and Senator Dietrich visited Commissioner Richards yesterday to urge him to favorably report the measure to the President. 'I'lIlt DILL AS PASS1\D.
