is fraud practiced, that is question
outside of this discussion. We are
speaking of transactions that are
considered honorable by each party.
And the loaning of money to ex-
plot business-to enable the laborer
to create property-is a commend
able thing. 1t is benefit to both
parties in the transaction and to the
community. Such transactions stand
the test of DR.. Gladden's drastic rule !:
"Justice in exchange means that
each party shall be the gamer in the
transaction, or that neither shall be
the loser"

A farmer in Connecticut writes
to newspaper that he has sowed
81 acres of alfalfa. He says he
sows this on knoll 100 feet above
the water line-after removing H.
900 tons of rock from the knoll and
after he sowed it he carried off over
100 tons more of rock. Instead of
carting off the rock why didn't he
haul dirt and cover them up? We
should think it would be cheaper.
But farmers differ in methods.

want of men to work the land.
Suppose the people should demand
their own? For Herbert Spencer,
the great philosopher, says the land
is held by those who claim it only
by suferance; that no man has an
indefeasible and exclusive right to
the ownership of land-a part of the
earth. The earth, the land, belongs
to men in the aggregate and if men
in the aggregate permit the few to
possess the land to the exclusion Of
others these so hold possession only
by tolerance, the tolerance of the
rest, who naturally have an equal
right to it. But this statement Of
Spencer opens a question of pro-
found importance,h how much of right
have the possessors of land in that
ownership?

DEMAND FOR ENGINEERS.
All State University Graduates Secure
Positions before Commencement.

All the Io4 members of the grad
uating class of the College of En-
gineering of the University of Wis
consin have secured positions on
various engineering enterprises all
over the United States, as we'll as in
Panama, Mexico and Japan. A
number who completed their work
before the end of the year left early
in the spring to begin their practical
work in engineering and returned
at the commencement to receive
their degrees. The demand for
state university graduates in engi-
neering has been greater this year
than ever before, and Dean Tur-
neaure of the College of Engineer
ing has received requests from large
engineering concerns for university
graduates to which he has been un-
able to make any recommendations.
Many of the students as a result
have had choice Of three or four
good places.
Of the electrical engineers a num-
Der entered the employ of the larg-
est electrical companies, such as the
General Electric Co., the Chicago
Edison Co., the Western Electric
Co., and the Westinghouse Co.
Several of civil and mechanical en-
gineers are employed in the new
ennsylvania railroad tunnel in New
York and others are engaged in
railroad work in all parts of the
country. United States irrigation
work in the West and various min
ing enterprises furnished positions
for those interested in those fields.
Four graduates have gone to Pana-
ma to accept places on the canal
work; one is in Mexico, in the
maintenance of the way department
of the Mexican National Railway,
and one became instructor in en-
gineering in the College of Japan.

Owing to the great amount of inter
est that is being taken in Western Can
ada, it is well to be informed of some
of the facts that are bringing about the
great emigration from portions of the
United States.
The Canadian Government have au-
thorized agents at different points, and
the facts related in the following may
be corroborated on application. At the,
same time they will be able to quote
you rates, and give you certificates
emitting you to low rates on the diff
ferent lines of railway. The following
letter copied from the North Bend

monial, and the experience of Mr..
Austen is that of hundreds of other
Americans, who have made Canada
their home during the past seven or
eight years:

WAS A LONELY PRINCESS.
When Girl Roumnnin's Queen
Played with Children Created
by Her Imagination.

When Carmen Sylvia, the poet-queen
OF Roumania, was the little princess
of Wied in her fathers castle on the
Rhine, she used to sigh because she
was princess; and she has herself
told how she longed to be a village
child like those that she saw every
day
Since she could not get out to play
with them, she invented plays of her
own, and in these plays, the trees of
the big castle park were her play
mates. Every day she performed
whole fairy plays, in which one tree
was the wicked giant, another the fairy
prince, and so on.
1t was natural that this course of
life should fan the enthusiasm of the
child for storytelling; and in her
eleventh year she had begun to write
poetry, while her fourteenth birthday
saw her busy over drama.
By the time she was 20 she had
written enough poetry, plays and
stories, including several novels to
make books that would fill long
shelf; but she showed these to no.

of Roumania, took her to that land to
be its queen that she began to publish
any of her work.
