Of the Federal bench. It is said, and

sat thirty-four years in the Supreme
Court. Judge jackson is seven years
past that mark, and bids tairto be in
the harness for many years to come.
"The Iron Judge" has passed
through many trying days. He held
court throughout the civil war.
Soldiers were everywhere, and mill

Federal Government was rife, as
nearly half Of the people sympathized
with the confederacy. AT one time

ling the grand jury before him in the
morning and saying to them:
gentlemen Of the jury, before You
start your days work permit me to
remind you that this union Of States
is not rope Of sand. Now to your
business"
But with many offenders against the

jackson solved It by putting most OF
the men under bond for good behavior

complaints and restoring them to full

The old settlers in this valley will
tell you that Judge Jackson did more
than any other man to keep the West
Virginia country in the union and to
assuage the bitterness of civil strife.
Though called "the iron Judge
It is undeniable that at times he is
exceedingly stern-his heart is soft
toward all who show highs Of repent
ance. He would rather reform a
criminal than to punish him, and Il
is an axiom among the wrongdoers OF
this region that few contrite tears

sion. The tide was running strong
that way.
When Jackson's turn came his
blood was hot with indignation, but he
controlled himself and started calmly.
He knew the ferceness Of the passion
which ne had to face, and realized
the need Of caution. He began with
the smile that our sister States could
be compared to family. The family
must have a head, responsible and au.
lucrative. 1t was for the head of
the family to issue his orders, to lay
mis- injunctions, for the good Of all.
II his commands were disobeyed it
was his duty to punish. The Federal
Government at Washington was the
head of the Union family. Every
citizen of the republic, every foot Of
soil was subject to its sovereign will.
Damn him, he's in favor of
coercion!" cried a rich planter of
the other end Of the banquet hall.
At this a storm Of Kisses broke, and
for a new moments it was doubtful II
the audience would permit the speak
er to continue. Kisses greeted every
word he uttered
Finally measure of quiet was re-
stored, and Jackson went on, nothing
daunted.
"would you coerce a sovereign
state?" voice interrupted.
"There is no such thing as SOW
ereign State" he retorted. "All the
States in this Union are satellites re-
volving around tae central un,awhlch
is the government at Washington"
Here more Kisses filled the air and
the banquet hall was in an unroar.
"Would you coerce South Carollna?"
yelled a man with great voice.

leave this Union of State, one and

Jackson in reply "if that child rebels

to this, that a virginlan cannot enjoy
freedom of speech before an audience
Of virginians?"
He asked them what they Of east
Virginia had to complain of anyway
Their slaves were secure. They had
the fugitive slave law. They lost few
slaves, because they had Maryland
between them and the North. The
county from which he came, up on
the Ohio river, had lost more slaves
than all Of the eastern part Of the
State. His own fathers plantation
had lost omre than all the plantations
along the James and the Rappahan'
mock.
"The people of my part Of the State

And say to you here now, that II
the State Of Virginia secedes from
the Union, as sure as there is a Cod

10000 FARMS GIVEN AWAY
UNCLE SAM HAS BEEN GENEROUS
WITH HOMESTEAD SET.
Tiers.

washington, Oct. 6. - Uncle Sam
gave away in the neighborhood OF l2O,
900 farms to homestead settlers during
the last year, according to the report
OF the commissioner Of the genera
land Office. The acreage taken under
the homestead and other laws aggre
gated 17,S53.636. Divided into l6e
acre tracts, this would make ll7,4oe
farms. But in many cases the nome
steaders took less than 100 acres, SO
the officials say that the total home
steads will run close to 10000.
Homestead settlement took place IN
all the public land states, with the ex'
ception of Louisiana and Wyoming
According to the figures, Louisiana
has SAG acres more public land now
than 1t had last year. The officials say
the only way to account for 1t Is that
homesteaders have been relinquishing
claims IN those states and taking them
elsewhere. Alaska reported no home
stealing at all.
The commissioner OF the general
land office has issued pamphlet
showing the unappropriated lands Of
the United States on July ! last. Ac'
cording to it Minnesota still has 2,154,-
255 acres OF land subject to homestead
entry. North Dakota has 1889 ,685
acres, South Dakota 7,830,765 acres
and Wisconsin has 1920.
