William Allen White writes in an ar

statement:
Theodore Roosevelt has a larger
field than Grant had, or than Harri-
son had because he is the leader of a
better people. The amount of white
paper consumed by the printing
presses is ten times more than it was
in Grants time. Free rural delivery,

there should be SO much mental

there has been in the forty years since
the war without proportionate in
crease in moral perception. They can
tell right from wrong, not merely in
the little affairs of their own circum-
scribed lives, but in the larger affairs
of public life.
''That this growth has been slowly
coming during the past generation is
proved by the fact. that one by one the
bribe-takers have been forced out of
public life, so that there is scarcely
an unclean man in the American con-
gress. The leaders of the senate of
the forties and fifties would fail of
election to-day if they were before the
American people. It took a genera

the iniquity of imprisonment for debt,

The general public knew little per-

people as a fugitive from justice.
Prejudice and absolute ignorance and
stupidity make the horizon of many
about as broad as Mrs. Wigs cab

who in character, ability and loyalty
to the best interests of their com
munity, state and nation tower above
the standards of citizenship set by
some public men who strut before the
political footlights, and NJ. D. Grover
was one Of those men. He was mod
est and unassuming ana would have
attracted no more attention in a large
crowd than any ordinary business
man, but he was a brilliant attorney

have been placed by reason of his
professional ability he would have &C

Imperishable Value of Lands.

Amid the crash of stocks and the
wreck Of inflated trusts, it will be OBJ
served that land and urban real estate
are showing no tokens of panic or
shrinkage. Into all of the states of
the west the procession of farm buyers
continues to move in uninterrupted
streams. None of the reverses of
speculation has precipitated any lack
of confidence in the soil. It remains,
as it will for all time. the firm and I'M
shaken basis of the country's wealth.
The man who is the posessor of a
piece of land has the game in his own
hands. There is no promoter or
stock gambler who can jeopardize his
investment. Where it is purchased
with Judgment land is always worth
money paid for it, and it is bound to
increase in value. It cannot be de-
stroyed Or carried away. It requires
only industry to make it profitable
and productive. It constitutes a
source Of independence in any con
dition of the money market and amid
all of the mutations of speculative en-
terprises.
Real estate represents a tremendous
proportion of the wealth of the coun-
try. The richest families in America,
in England and in all the countries on
the globe are landholders. The AS
tors in New York afford a convincing
example. It is the hereditary owner
ship of land that holds the English
government together. Out of the soil
proceed all intrinsic values. There
will never be any more land on
the globe that there is now. But there
will be millions and millions more
people to consume what land pro-
duces. This makes the upward ten
dency of land inevitable. There is no
escape from that result. No invest
ment judiciously made in realty can
fail to grow, and the security behind
the investment is imperishable.
The country has witnessed, again
and again, and quite recently, the dis
astrous effect of yielding to the temp
tation of taking the chance on another
mans game to obtain large profits.
Thousands of people have lost their
all by the collapse of such schemes as
the captains of finance evolve to rob
their victims. Had the men and
women who have been impoverished
by the ''genius" of Mr.. Morgan placed
their money in land Or city real estate
they would have something to show
for it to-day and would not be. stricken
with the fear of dependence and pow
erty.
Land is the one thing in this world
whose value is absolutely intrinsic,
and its worth and desirability ought
to be made apparent as it, has never
been made apparent before by the ruin
that has overtaken those unfortunate
persons who have been feeced of their
all by licensed stock obbers. Kansas
