stirring life which began to tell on
him in late years. He believed that

THE INFLUENCE OF LAND.
Highest Type of Manhood Comes fr"is
the Country Where There IL
Room for Action.

The causes which control the ebb ana
TOW of humanity between city and coun-
try are among the most subtitle and OBJ
scure of social phenomena, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. The charge
t~eristic Of the people of all neW-toun-
iries is vigor. 1t is due to The abunG-
ance of land for all the people, and the
action and reaction between land and
man. The life of new countries is rude,
but the nourishment is abundant, ana
the pure air sends pure blood coursin&
through the veins. The result is a race
of strong men. When class distinctions
are marked the gentry gain culture
without losing strength. That is the
highest type of manhood. 1t was seen
in the pre-Augustan age of Rome, in the
chivalry of medieval western Europe,
in the planters of our w southern
states in the first half of the nineteenth
century. The development of the high
est type of manhood involves the con
demnation of the majority to a rude anC
laborious life. But such men can be
| propagated from generation to genera
ton only so long as they remain in their
rural environment. In the cities deger-
Grafton occurs Here and there vi2Or is
transmitted through several genera
tons Of city bred men, at least in indt-
viduals, who maintain the family name
and standing. The tendency is to de-
generation, and the mass yields to the
tendency. The result is seen in the
| slums and the potter's field. The new
men who dominate the cities-at least
in America-are country bred.
