Death of Dr.. ". ]. Kendall.

DR.. w. j. Kendall, of Paris.
died at his home at that place last
Wednesday, after an illness of
only few days from pneumonia,
aged A. years.
He was a son of Mr.. William
Kendall, of Fauquier county, and
was a man of rare mental and in
tellectual attainmcnts.
He was one of the most success
full practitioners in this section of
the country and was beloved by all
who became acquainted with him.
Although he was not robust,
physically, no night was too dark
or weather too inclement for him
to ride forth ON an errand of mercy
to the sick and suffering.
His patients will miss his careful
and painstaking attention and
friendly counsel,
His was a noble and courageous
soul.
May his sleep be sweet.

father. While recovering fun
the disease his desire to keep upin
his studies caused him to strain
lis eyes hy excessive rcadilg. and
IN "a few Years he was totally blind.
For many wears hc conducted
one of the old-raShoucd tavern

Main AMI Church streets which be-
lougcd to him at ihe time of his
death, but had not conducted busi-
ness for twenty-five ycars.
After his eyesight was found tc

spent about three years at the
school for the blind at Staunton.
lie was peculiarly apt at mathe-
mates, and up 70 within 4 few
months of his death it was the
pleasure of the editor OF the Cou-
RIER to argue and work out with
him some OF the most abstruSc and
puzzling problems in that fascinat-
I ing science.
He was good comrade. a gen
erOus FRIEND, with his hand ALWAYS
open To those i'm need or distress.
The problem of the Great Be-
yond was one which had caused
this editor and Mr.. Russell many
hours of deep argument and pleas
ant converse; and we are clad now
that he has passed into that region
about which we know nothing:
those eyes which longed for iuht
are now closed forever on this
earth; j. the secret OF the grave is

Minority Leadership in Congress.

The following extremely able
and timely editorial. from the New
Orleans Item (edited by Mr.. James
Thomson, formerly of Clarke
county,, is one of the pIainest
statements of the facts in the case
that we have seen anywhere:
Although the Honorable John
Sharpe Williams is quite popular
locally for his many estimable
qualities, there can be little doubt
that he is not SO strong man As
Representative DE Almond Of
Missouri. Representative Will
llams Is not in sympathy with the
Democrats of the doubtful states.
and in may be seriously questioned
whether he Is in sympathy with the
great mass of Democrats i'm the
South itself. He is cultured. bril-
liant, personally attractive ard "a
man of force. But he has small
sympathy with the radical and ac-
gresSiye doctrine which is being
preached by Bryan. Hearst, Tom
johnson and other gentlemen who
constitute practically all that i lrft

and West. He has had his chance

nomination of Judge Alton b.

the street railway magnate of New
York and of old man Henry
Davis of West Virginia. For the
benefit of those who may have for
gotten, it may be mentioned that
these two were the Democratic
Presidential nominees of the De-
mOcracv's last national convention.
Practically no one outside the South
knew that Parker and Davis were
running, and the radical Democrats
of the North and West made up
their minds when the campaign
was over to take charge of the
party and 10 nominate radical
next time. This they will unqueS-
tionably do, and John Sharpe Viii
lmmS Is one of those whose names
they have wiped from their slate.
In Representative De Almond they
have picked a man who Is of their
calibre, and who has the high re-
gard of every one that knows him.
The chances are that Williams
will bc defeated for the leadership
of the party. For the Southern
Democrats are very tired of seeing
the party eternally defeated, and.
with the largely increased radical
vote which President Roosevelt
developed, they have hopes of
electing a radical candidate. The
choice of such candidates has mar
rowed itself down to Bryan and
Hearst, and in the case of these
two 1t is understood that De Ar

Iowa Land Values.

Iowa lands are agian advancing in
values. A few years ago when the
Canadian and Texan exoduses be.
gan, lands in this state sagged q
little. But some of the prodigals
are coming back and the ones who
still hold Iowa lands are holding on
a little tighter. The past season
has put several more feathers in the
caps of Iowa land owners. Through
one of the most disasterous seasons,
on account of rain and colds, the
soil of this state managed to pro-
duce good crops, including a corn
crop of normal proportions. 1t de-
monstrates again that the soil of
this state is good for a crop every
year. 1t is the one state that may
always be relied upon. Tt never
fails wholly.
Iowa lands are worth $3.50 an
acre, every acre Of them that is, to
the man who lives upon the farm
and puts his own hands to the plow
and manages with foresight
and labors with industry. Illinois
lands have long been selling at such
prices and lowe lands will eventu-
ally sell at them. Most of the
good farms that have been changing
hands have lately been overrunning
the one hundred dollar an acre
mark. - Cedar Rapids Republican.

private interest above the public
advantage. And thus, in recog-
nizing the necessity OF giving fair
opportunity for individual success,
of protecting thrift and the rewards
OF industry, and at the same time
in insisting upon fidelity to trust,
upon the right of the community and
upon the supremacy of law repre-
senting the will ofthe people, in en-
deavoring to call the most efficient
to the service of the state; and in
discharging the duties of public
office, with sole regard to public in
terests, shall we dilfuse the blessing
of prosperity, making it servant to
to the happiness of all.
"We are far better off in the En-
pire state than we have ever been
before. A resistless force of public
opinion is directed against well-nigh
every abuse. There is not a New
Yorker here who from his own ex-
perience cannot recount the tale Of
progress. In every department of
official life there are men endeavor-
ing to serve the state to the best of
their ability, and the people are
ready to give credit to faithful SER
vice. But they are also intolerant
of faithlessness. Throughout the
state are manifold evidences of der
mination that the just rights, of pro-
perty shall be protected, that the
public rights shall he conserved and
that those who represent the people
shall be held strictly to account for
the manner in which they discharge
their trusts" S,Sqt,sti,

Education all Wrong.

Professor Jedgersma, the eminent
psychlatrist, has startled this coun-
try by very outspoken utterance
on modern civilization rs the funda-
mental cause Of the prevailing and
increasing nervousness of modern
men and women both in Europe and
America.
Jelgersma sketches the merchant,
financier, and manufacturer sur
rounded by the mighty means Of
communication Of the present day,
and shows how the development Of
modern life, with all it's rapid
changes, must create feeling Of
disappointment, fear, and oppres-
sion. which is the real basis of the
state Of mind of which the outward
sign is loss of equilibrium in the
struggle for existance. The victims
are men and women who from youth
up have been unable to Withstand
the strain and stress. The primary
object of education therefore should
be to strengthen these weaklings
against their environment.
For German ears the professors
next sentence sounds revolutionary
He says:
eve must gradually get rid 6.
our notions that the training of TX
intelligent is the highest Of edlsa
ton. The training Of the mine
must give way to the training Of the

"We send child to school when

which it ought not to look at fol
