''The home is the unit of the nation.
The more homes the broader the foun-
dalton of the nation and the more Sc
cure. Everything that is possible should
be done to keep this from being nation
of tenants. The men who cultivate the
earth should own it. Something has al
ready been done in our country in that
direction, and probably in every state
there is homestead exemption. With
the means we now have of transporter
ton there is no necessity for poor people
being huddled in fostering masses in the
vile, filthy and loathsome parts of cities,
where poverty breeds rags and rags

stead of reasonable value, say of the val
ue of $4,000 or So 900, not only from sale
under execution, but from sale for taxes
of every description. The right of emf
nent domain should be used not only for
the benefit of the person wishing home,
but for the benefit 'of all the people.
Nothing is more important to America
than that the babes of America should be
born around the fire-side of homes"
Speaking of marriage and divorce, he
said: GAS a rule, the man can take care
of himself, and, as rule, the woman
needs help. So would not allow him
to cast her off unless she had fagrantly
violated the contract. But for the sake
of the community, and especially for the
sake OF the babes, 1 would give her d.
vorce tor the asking. There will never
be generation of great men until there
has been generation of free women
of free mothers.'
AS to the labor question he remarked :;
II see no final and satisfactory solution
except through the civilization of en-
ployers and employed. The ques ton is
so complicated, the 1amifcations are so
countless, that a solution by law or by
force seems at least improbable"
Concerning the education of children,
he said:
"Every child should be taught to be
self-supporting and to avoid being a
burden on others as it should shun death
Every child should be taught that the
useful are the honorable and that they
who live on the labor of others are the
enemies of society. Every child should
be taught that useful work is worship
and that intelligent labor is the highest
form of prayer. Children should be
taught to think, to investigate, to rely
upon the light of reason, of observation
and experiences; should be taught to use
all their senses, and they should be
taught only that which in some sense is
really useful. They should be taught
the use of tools, to use them. to embody
their thoughts in the construction Of
things. Their lives should not be was.
ted in the acquisition of the useless or OF
the almost useless. So they should be
taught the Importance not only of fnan.
cial but of mental honesty; to be abso.
lutely sincere; to utter their real Thoughts
and to give their actual opinions, and, il
parents want honest children they should
be honest themselves. as.. Ills.
"Real education is the hope Of the fl
ture. The development of the braln
the civilization of the heart, will drive
want and crime from the world. The
school house is the real cathedral and
science the only possible saviour Of
the human race. Education, real educa-
ton, is the friend of humanity, Of NOR.
