BUlLD UP THE WASTE PLACE.

There are all over the South gullles
and waste lands, which If properly
handled, could not only be prevented
frum becoming eyesores and objects
which detract materially from the at
rxzctiVenesS of our country, but under
Che manipulation Of skilled hands be
made to become productions and even
keaEtiful and to bloom forth in boun-
sfsEl harvests. If, instead of working
themselves to death and dragging
along q weary and Improbable life
sEyiag to raise 6 cent. cotton on poor
wursout lands, u farmers would
feel that they were unwilling to die
wSsEsout having permanently improved
and beautifed and rendered produc-
five some small portion of the earth'S
surface, they would spend a happier
and ax r profitable life. Here is a
xsxTEsng illustration of this truth: L
Azwe an uncle who lives a few miles
from Cleveland, Ohio. He has
EzR acres of land, rams a dairy and has
fax Eears made a good living and put
by some money. At n corner OF his
place there were three acres Of murky,
vel land that lay idle and was thought
ta be worthless. a few years ago he
read of how some other party had re-
deemed such a piece Of land. So he
went into it, cleaned it off, ditched
and tile drained it. Last year he sold
twelve hundred dollars worth ofcelery
fran Those three acres, clearing $500,
which was more clear money than he
received from the other hundred and
seventeen acres" This also illustrates
the profits to be made out of diyerSi-
ted farming properly conducted.
while we cannot all raise celery, we
saIz put such places in other equally
PEadtable products such as onions,
ErSn potatoes, peas, alfalfa, etc. Ii
QUE farmers will take time and inter
EST necessary to do this, it will not
aEls Improve and beautify their farms
and render them more productive and
Consequently more desirable and valu-
zhle. but they will enjoy the salts
faction and pleasure of knowing that
they have added to the worlds wealth
1zS they will be just aStruly inventor
as those who have given the steam
ergine and electric machine, tele'
Phaue, etc., to the world.

We live in a superficial age, and we
hurry along in a happy-go-lucky way,
ignorant or needless of the capacities
of our minds and bodies. The preco-
cious youth, the boy or girl of average
intelligence, or the Ounce, should alike
study his own strength, his weakness,
his likes, his dislikeS, his bent.

Delphi; and, though the oracle has
long been mute, the words are Of eter-

finds its highest province in the study
of own natures. knowledge thus
gained, and that alone, will teach the

SOMETHING or THE PRACTICAL IN
MARRIED LIFE.

There are mighty few young people
who go into marriage with any real
idea of what it means. They get their
notion of it from among the clouds
where they lived while they are en-
gagged and naturally about all they
find up there is wind and m~oonshine,
or from novels which always ends be-
fore the real trouble begins, or, IL they
keep on, leave out the chapters that
tell how the husband finds the rent
and the wife the hired girl. But il
there's one thing in the world about
which it's possible to get all the facts
it's matrimony. Part of them are
right in the house where you were
born and the neighbors have the rest.
It's been my experience that you've
got to have leisure to be unhappy.
Half the troubles in this world are
imaginary, and it takes time to think
them up. But it's these oftener than
the reals troubles that break a hus-
bands back or a young wife's heart.
A few men and more women can be
happy idle when they're single, but
once you marry them to each other
they We got to find work or they'll find
trouble. You can ride three miles on
the trolley a to the stock yards every
morning and find happiness at the end
of the trip, but you may chaseit all
over the world in stream yacht with
out catching up with it. A woman
can find fun from the easements to
to the nursery of her own house, but
give her a license to CAD the streets
and a bunch of matinee tickets and
she'll be discomfort. There's always
an idle woman or an idle man in every
divorce case. When the man earns
the bread in the sweat Of his face it's
right the women should perspire a lit
tie baking it.

NADIA Publishing Company is before
us. 1t is neatly and attractively got
ten up and reflects much credit upon
the versatile talents of its able editor.
The magazine is to be devoted to
the discussion of such topics as meets
the wants OF practical life. and the
public may expect some excellent fruit
from the advent of this new life In
the literary field. The editor fully
sets forth It's mission under the head,
"Our Purposes, - from which we take
the following excerpts:
ut is true that to attain the great
est success n must be a specialist;
but specialism carried too far forms
people into classes, which condition
means no good to the country and
mankind generally. A specialist should
know everything about something,
and yet TO be a well rounded man he
should know something about every
thing" Zone of the pur-
poses Of this journal will be to bring
all classes ofpeople into sympathetic
touch with each other, from the rich
est banker to the poorest farmer, and
from the pulpit down to the humblest
man in thepew.n \ \
why should we not know each
other better? We are all citizens of
the same great country and should
have a common cause"
We extend to the Mississippi Mag

it much success.

Mr.. Editor:-We are going to fall
out with these fraternities, because
night before last as we was mighty
dry and thirsty, we went down to
George Dills establishment to get a
drink of liquor. He asked us if we
could give the password. We told him
that all the pass we had was the cash.
But all the same we did not get the
liquor. We think it is a burning
shame when a decent white man can't
get a drink of liquor in a niger dive
without giving the password.

single tax, with public ownership of
public utilities, great proportion of
New York's residents would move to
the suburbs. Rents in the city would
fall. The land owners could not shift
the tax to the tenants who manufac-
tured> or carried on business on their
lands, for the very good reasons that
the tenants could get locations at other
points cheaper and other points would
undersell them, driving them out of
business.
The income tax, which you consider
ideal, is crude method for recovering
fraction of the wealth which the
privileged few nave succeeded in ex-
torting from the unprivileged many.
You would tax the small robber, say
per cent of his loot, and the larger
robbers a greater percentage of their
loot. Single takers propose nothing of
that kind. They propose to abolish
privileges. Then every man would be
entitled to his entire income, whether

Flemish citizens. Formerly the Wal
loon districts returned socialist and
liberal members; the Flemish without
exception only clerieals, or Catholics,
AZ they prefer to call themselves. Now
OF course, each district has members
belonging TO both parties, or even to
three; and this tends to diminish ra-
cial antagonism. Perhaps the same ar
gument might apply to Canada, which
is also bi-lingual country"
In his book on proportional repre-
sentation, la Representation Proper
tionnelle en- Belgique; Historic dune
Reform" Count d'Alviella formulates
the conclusions which are made clear
by the first application Of proportional
representation to the legislative cleo
lions Of Belgium. His conclusions may
be classed under six heads: /, Political
activity; 2, racial divisions; 8, politi-
cal passion; 4, party discipline; 5, CO.
alitions; and g. simplicity. / shall deal
only with the first two in this article
They are as follows:
Political Activity-The first result
of adopting proportional represents
ton has been to awaken political life
in numerous districts where for a long
time it had seemed to be extinguished,
especially in the Flemish provinces. In
the heart of the two Flanders, notably
at Anvers and even at Limbourg, lib
eral associations have been born or
revived in localities most devoted to
the conservative Catholic party AT the
time of the earlier elections, in 1896
and 1898, the liberals abstained in many
districts from any serious struggle for
representation in the chamber of dep
utieS. AS for the senate, the elections
took place without ballot in twenty
five districts out Of thirty-six. This
time the seats were contested in all the
divisions of the country, as we'll for
the senate as for the chamber, with
but one exception. The socialists en-
tered into the struggle wherever they
could find candidates, and the Catholics
raised their flag in districts in the Wal
loon country, where they had never
succeeded in electing candidate with
in the memory of man.
Racial Divisions Among other indi-
rect advantages, proportional repreSen-
tation has thus put an end to the per-
ilous coincidence which tended to es-
tablish itself between political divi-
sions and racial or linguistic divisions.
In Belgium, as in Canada, there are
two distinct races, speaking different
languages.) The Flemish liberals have
today in the chamber Of deputies mem
bers who know their country and
speak their language; just as the Cath
olics of the industrial districts find
other representatives of their interests
than "Luxembourgeois" country
squires, or Flemish proprietors.
Next week shall deal with the other
four results of proportional represen-
tation in Belgium.

Mr. Rix NJ Robinson, a prominent

Robinson announcedyhEs candidacy al

the minds Of voters had already been
