the amount of energy expended in the
mere processes of acquisition and this
for very simple reason: the processes
OF acquisition have absorbed all the
time and energy, and neither time nor
energy has been left for the processes
of self-culture.
Would Jesus, then, discourage effort,
paralyze endeavor, forbid the strenuous
life. chill ambition and aspiration,
make sluggish the blood of enthusi-
asn1? No; he was himself. in the no
best sense of the term, an enthusiast.
His life was a strenuous one. Rarely
in human history has any individual
crowded as much into three years as
did he. But his energy was expended
in service for others, not in acquisition
for himself. His life interprets his
teaching. What he seems to me to say
is this: Put all your ambition all
your enthusiasm, into the work of
service. Make it the aim of your life
to leave the world better and happier
because you have lived in it, and take

But L have noticed that this man
never enjoys his journey. He is a
chronic grum.bler. He finds no pleasure
and he finds multitude of faults. He
may possess the earth, and he often
does, but he never inherits it. He gets,
but he does not gain.
Such an experience is symbolic of the
larger experience of the journey of life
The eager and the grasping often pos

who has capacity to appreciate. but
not money to buy a single picture, in
herits more in the public art gallery
than the greedy Philistine who pur-
chases pictures but never really pos
sesses them. John Burroughs, with his
few acres pm the banks of the Hudson,
has really more of the earth than
n.ulti-millionaire who owns hundreds
of acres which he has rarely time to
visit, and who does not know the diff
ference between maple and an elm,
or between the song of the thrush
and the chirp of the English sparrow.
Doubtless there are men who both ac-

the pictures they have purchased and
the mountain ranges which they own.

The Florida agriculturist., 1906-07-04
Whole No. 1865.

lature during the campaign this year
is the adoption of the TOrrens System
of registering land titles.
AS it is now, every time a piece of
property is transferred some lawyer
must examine into the legality of the
title. Old records running back
sometimes for hundreds of years
must be searched at great labor and
expense; and the next time the pro-
perty is sold. and the next, and the
next the same work must be done over
| again. and other big lawyers fees
paid.
Now the TOrrens system proposes
that instead of this perennial investi-
CATION of the same thing. this perpetu-
al marching backward and forward
over the same ground with no purpose
save that of supporting lawyers who
might better serve their fellows in
some other way-instead of all this.
We say, the Torrens System proposes
that the state shall examine the title
once for all. guarantee it and register
it-and henceforward it may be trans
ferred as easily as a share of stock i'm
a cOrpOratiO or a bond issued by state
or municipality. The original cost of
getting TOrrens deed will be little,
if any, more than the present cost OF
once investigating the title, and with
IL
titles may be transferred at from one
fourth to One-tenth the present expense
and with immeasurably less worry and
uncertainty.
At present, moreover, deed is only
a registered certificate of claim: the
state does not guarantee your right to
the property described. and even after
the lawyers have pronounced the title
sound, you cannot be absolutely sure.
A deed under the TOrrenS System, OH
the other hand, is an absolute guaran-
tee from the state of your right to the
property mentioned.
A lawyer said to us the other day
that he knew pieces of property sever
al times transferred on which at least
One-fourth the total value had been
spent for investigating the title-and
the next time the property is sold, the
same ground will probably be gone
over again. Under the TOrrens Sys-
tenn. at a fraction of this cost, the own
er would have guaranteed title re-
Quiring no further investigation and
his property as easily negotiable as

Easily negotiable, we say-and right

TOrrens System that ought to insure
its adoption even if it had no other
a attractions. AS things are now, land

tion.
The Progressive Farmer prints an
article Oh this subject, written by a
prominent man in Richmond, Va, to
which it also adds quite long
editorial, both of which we reproduce
for the benefit of our subscribers:
You can sell your personal property
or borrow money on it quickly and at
little expense. You do not have to
employ lawyer to examine the title
to your horse or cow, to your oats
and hay, nor to your stocks and bonds.
If you try to sell your land or Dor
row money OH it, the first question is:
Have you got good title?
No one win buy nor lend you money
without being satisfied about your
title. 1t must be examined by law
yer, and you have to pay the bill.
1t does not matter how often the
title has been examined before. it has
to be re-examined every time new
deal is made
The same old titles are examined
over and over again, and every time
you have to pay the bill.
A conservative estimate, based up
on the returns from the County
Clerks throughout the state, shows
that the people of Virginia paid
more than $4,000 for abstracts of
titles to lands in 1904.
This is nearly as much as was
spent upon all the public schools i'm
the one hundred counties of our
state, and more than half of what
was spent for public education in
every city and county of the Com
mOnwealth.
This heavy and perpetual tax on
the people will be saved by the Tor
rens System of Land Registration.
1t is not only expensive but it
takes days and weeks to make an eX-
animation of title, and so many diff
ficulties are encountered that bust
ness men frequently have not the
time TO bother with SactlOnS in
vOlving So many problems
All this makes land hard and slow
to handle, and men hesitate to bury
capital i'm lands.
The TOrrens System will make
your lands merchantable. 1t will
convert lands into quick asset and
render them available as a source |
of ready commercial credit.
1t operates in the following man
ner:
O. A title is examined once of |
