is also maximum stature fixed for privates in the
regular army, and that it is five feet inches the
theory being that they can stand the hardships of
military life better than taller ones Evidently the
authors of that maximum did not take their lesson
out of the book of that King of Prussia who ransaced
the earth to find recruits for his brigade of giants
and who would pay more for seven footer than he
paid an Ambassador to foreign court.
A foreign critic of everything American once de-
clared that we were prone to mistake mere bigness
for greatness; and fear that in many must
plead guilty to the soft impeachment; but usually
bgness counts for, other things being equal in
creased strength. Large bodies generally support
large heads and large heads generally contain large
brains. was told by who told by New
England hat manufacturer that hats for the trade
east of the Alleghenies from No. to No. 7;
in the Mississippi Valley, from No. to No. IT.; and
in Texas, from No. to No. 8. Perhaps the
brains of the of the hats from No. to No.
may make up in ineness of texture for what they
lack in size and weight the principle that precious
articles made up in small packages.
James Wilson of Iowa, Secretary of Agriculture,
who in his person and career demonstrates what
Scotchman may come to, provided he is caught
young enough and brought to this country, and my
friend Walter Williams, the savant who edits The
Columbia, Missouri, Herald" agree that
of ground in this country is sufficient to support
human being.
Its Value in New England
TT is only fair to that these philosophers
were influenced by local environment and were
basng their inspiring calculations the wondrous
fertility of Missouri and Iowa soils, which is marvel
to jewellers in less favored regions in highly
favored country 1t is said that when that brilliant
and masterful man. Thomas Bracket Reed, first
Travelled through my congressional district and OBJ
served the fairness of the land he threw up his hands
in ecstasy of establishment and exclaimed, "My
God! that soil is rich that if they had it back in
New England they would sell it by the peck for
seed!" And the man from Maine was correct.
While the average fertility of the Mississippi
Valley is less than that of Missouri and Iowa, it is
clear crystal that greater than in the country
at large The Wlson-Williams ratio of persons to
the acre would place the Valley population poten-
tialty at eight hundred million souls, nearly one
half of the present population of the globe-most

pessimsts and an indisputable argument in favor
of the antirace suicide theory much exploited by
President Roosevelt and enthusiastically prac-
tised by divers Americans tone of whom in my dis

true that it diminshes slowly in the Mississippi
Valley than east of the Aeghenies The people of the
great Valley obey with aacrity the primal command
of God to Adam and Eve " Be fruitful, and multiply.
and replensh the earth, and subdue it, MirdbIe
dictm! Of all the mutitudinous speeches have
heard, have never known but to enlarge
upon the debt of gratitude Government owes to
fathers and mothers such. Most assuredy this
is not what Bismarck was wont to call "a dying
nation" especially that portion of it known the
Mississippi Valley. When the stream of immgra-
ton is cut off substantially decreased, it
surely will be, the importance of the fecundity of
the people of the Mississippi Valley will be duly
appreciated
DR.. Boteler was wont to say, Doubtless God
could have made a better berry than the straw
berry; but doubtless He never did" Varying the
good doctors dictum to suit the exigencies of the
case, I say, Doubtless God could have made
better body of land than the Mississippi Valley but
doubtless He never did,
The Worlds Asparagus Bed
IN exuberant moment, Thomas F. Marshall, of
witty and therefore of blessed memory, character
lied Woodford County, Kentucky, the aspara-
gus bed of the garden spot of the world. To
gourmet that is the plus ultra of compliment.
Woodford is indeed goodly land and, like Zion of
old, beautiful for situation; but in the Mississippi
Valley are many such asparagus beds in many such
garden spots For instance, in the ten counties of
my congressional district find enough land

ford and then have enough good land left to make
twenty more counties of the dimensions.
Build another Chinese wall about the Mississippi
Valley, cut off from all communion with our kind,
and inside that wall produce all the neces-
saries and most of the luxuries of human life.
Political parties may come and go; all sorts of
empires may try all kinds of experiments on the
body potic pseudo statesmen may produce panics
terrible in their results sordd greed may, by legis
aton, levy tribute upon the country till the iniquty
cries to Heaven for redress but thing cocksure,
SO long as summer and winter, seedtime and har-
vest, do not fail, the denizens of the Mississippi
Valley caunot be starved. If the departed spirits
of ancient worthless take any interest in the affairs
of this lower world, Epicurus and Lucullus must
regret that their lives not cast in the pleasant
places of the Great Valey-the granary of mighty
nation, the storehouse of the world
All this talk of good cheer may not appeal to the
esthetic; but nevertheless the average man and
woman will agree with Charles Lamb to the
beatifc frame of mind in which one finds himself.
