During these twelve months all
farms were to lie fallow. all slaves
were to be freed and every family
was to come back into its original
inheritance. 1t was provided that
land that had to be sold might he
redeemed at any time at a fair
price. But if the seller had no
money he need wait only till the
year of jubilee. Followers of
Henry George at times have quot
ed with delight the twcnty-third
verse of the twenty-ffth chapter
of Lcviticus: And the land shall
not be sold in pcrpetuity; for the
land is mine; for yc are strangers
and sojourncrs with me-
Under this statute of the Levitt
cal code, or the custom which it
embodied, large fortunes founded
on land-the great source of wealth
could not be accumulated.
Twice in Il century Il rc-divislon of
the land allowed every family II
fresh start. The regard in which
the inhcritanccs were held is shown
in the story of Naboth, whose
vineyard King Ahab wanted to
buy THE Lord forbid it me-"
said Naboth, THAT | should give
the Inheritance of my fathers unto
thee" Under this rough system
of land tenure the Hebrews became
a prosperous people. When they
were driven out of Palestine they
developed the instinct for trade
which has made them II powerful
factor in the financial world. In
his address at DoylcStown, Srcrc-
tary Wilson predicted that if the
jew should return to agriculture
he would impress himself there as
he has in all other avenues of eff
fort.

The Jews before the National

Secretary Wilson commented on
the fact that originally the Child
rem of Israel were a great agricult-
ural people. Moses kept the tlockS
of Jethro in the wilderness. Da-
vid was Il shepherd. Joseph I'M
derstood irrigation and Daniel
made the first experiments with
vegetables as a ration. In eStab-
fishing an agricultural school the
Jews are reverting to occupation
of their ancestors.
The Jewish race has been EN-
gagged in trade for so many hun
dred years that people are apt to
forget that during Bible times the
Hebrews We're an agricultural peo-
pie. The Mosaic code went to
extremes in providing that this
condition be continued. All prim-
tive peoples, after emerging from
the savage state in which they
maintain themselves by hunting,
necessarily devote themselves To

When the Children of Israel
reached Canaan the country had
to be conquered. This was done
under the leadership of Joshua.
Then the land was divided up IL
mong the tribes. A minute ne
count of the division may be found
in the book of Joshua.
According to the provisions of
the book of Leviticus the land was
made inalienable. The higher
critics regard the Mosaic code rs
the record of Hebrew customs
which finally crystalized into law.
If this view be correct it would APP
pear that the race worked out for

years at most. This was effected
by the celebration of the year of

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
An Object Lesson Given
Regarding Taxation.
EDITOR MESSAGE:

EDITOR MESSAGE:
Mexico, Mo-, Aug. D Since
writing you last week ON the sub
ject of bonding the county and
building rock roads. and finding
such Il unanimity of sentiment in
favor of the project among all
classes of our people, | venture Il
few additional suggestions in eX-
PLANTATION Of the eXpedicncy of the
whole subject. All agree that rock
roads is the pressing and lndiSpen-
able demand of the whole country.
All agree that it would do more Ill
developing the natural resources,
give advantages to the agricultu-
raj developments of the county and
add to its material wealth more
than any other or all other ques-
tons that could present themselves
for our consideration.
Well, if all agree on these Ques-
tons aS of paramount Importance,
let us take up the subject SOberly,
meet in council, and devise the
best, surcst and the most eXpedi-
ent plan of accomplishing the end
in view. 1t is IA fact that needs no
explanation. If we get that much
needed improvements we will have
to pay for it, and pay dearly, for
rock roads annOt be built in this
county for song. Let me give
an object lesson. The bottom east
of the river twenty or thirty years
ago was Il waste and Swampy will
derneSS, infested by crocodilcs,
frogs, home for wild beasts and
mosquitoes. The few inhabitants
who lived there were scourgcd the
year around with chills and fever.
The owners of these lands were
taxed to the amount of one acre in
every five for the purpose of build
ing the levees that had afforded
them only partial insurance against
the overflow Of the Mississippi. 1t
cost millions of dollars to develop
that county, and yet that land to.
day is worth one hundred dollars
per acre, and all agree the money
expended was wise investment,
and today the same bottom is
justly designated the granary of
Illinois,
In the background of my vision
| can see this county advancing
from its present uncultivated and
undevcloped condition into veri-

CHILD KILLED
Found Under House With
Crushed Skull

The colored people of this city
have Il sensation. The little five
ycarold daughter of Addie Craw-
ley, colOred, was missed early last
Monday and search was made all
day aud the following night for the
child when the next morning at
about six O'Clock it was discovered
under the mothers house dead
and with crushed skull. II had
been hid away and put there some
time during the night.
The father and mother of the
child have not been living together,
but another dusky darky has been
occupying the home of the afore-
said mother. The child's life was
insured for $l2 in favor of the
father. The circumstances looked
bad and Sheriff James arrested
Crawley and his wife and Alex
Monroe. Yesterday an inquest
was held, but nothing of impor-
lance was brought out. The in
quest was adjourned until nine
o clock this morning in order that
Il post norton examination may be
made.
The child was killed, without a
doubt. There are various theories.
One is that it was killed to get the
insurance money. another is that
the mother in a fit of passion killed
the child unintentionally. Now
have your guess till there is IA re-
port from the coroner's jury. The
jury is composed of the following:
JAS. Dobbins.
Alex Reid.
f. I. Hook.
Tandy Hill
w. h. Kemp.
b. y. Thornburg.

THE people do not like the
sound of that word bonds and
that is about the only trouble with
that road improvement plan for
Audrain. If the people were AS
careful individually about going
in debt as they are when the tax
assessor comes around or there is
something said about public
bond issue, there would be much
less misery in the country than
there is.

late rains he has grass. The
drought also caused him to go af-
ter living water on his farm and
