AMERICAN IDEAL is
ExTOLLED BY SPEAKERS


these are already the exception rather
than the rule. II is a grave injustice,
fraught with peril, TO make an undis-
eliminating denunciation. Today. no
commercial or professional man who
hopes for success or esteem fails to
count as highest asset the impregnabil-
ity of his name upon any output or
his. Today, the dynamics OF CONNER
cial and professional life are not force
but fidelity; not intrigue but integrity;
not profit but principle; not cunning
but chivalrous courage

B0BO CHARGED WITH CRUELTY
Former Attendant of Insane Asylum Is in Prison and May Be Confront ed With Grand Jury lndict-
 ment.

Little Rock. Ark.-As a result of deep probing begun by E. l.. Matlock of Van Buren, member of the State Board of Charities, r. NJ. Bobo. an at tendant at the State Hospital for Ner- vous Diseases, lies in jail. and it is rumored that the Grand Jury, now sit ting. has returned an indictment against him for aggravated assault up on patients al the institution with weapon scarcely less terrible than the Russian knout used on Siberian con- victs. Further developments are now anticipated in the way of another ar rest of an attendant on the same charge.
 Ii is said that Mir Matlock first re- ceiyed information of eruelties against inmates from John r Davis of Frank lin county, former patient. lnvesti- gation was at once begun, and rumor has il that the first definite proof of brutalities was the finding of the weap. on used by Bobo in his room at the hospital This instrument consisted of a heavy rubber hose. about an inch in diameter, and perhaps about two and half feet long Through this from end to end ran a half.inch piece of window sash-cord of best grade, forming a loop at one end for a firm wrist-hold, and doubling back again through the hose. at the other end of which the two ends of the rope were heavily knotted to keep the section of hose from flying off when patient was undergoing punishment. One ot those who saw this knout made the statement that it would be an easy matter to kill the strongest man if he were struck on the head or over the kidneys with sharp blow from it.
 These developments came to light last March, and it is said that as soon as Bobo heard of the investigation ne quit the hospital and left the state. returning, however. about six weeks later and giving himself over to the authorities something over a fortnight ago It is further alleged that a num- Der of instances have transpired in which the weapon was used by Bobo on nonviolent patients, and that the knout is now in possession of the prosecuting attorney. who has been probing he affair for weeks.

THE CALL 0F THE SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
 RICH.

A staff contributor of southern newspaper has taken up the question of the return to the farm of many who had forsaken it for the glitter of the city. He says: Tt is we'll known fact that the history of this Govern ment shows that those men who have been most successful in life and who have left their impress upon it's peo- pie and its institutions as statesmen, soldiers, financiers-have as rule been those whose youth was spent on the farm, and 1t is to such as these that there comes with overmastering power THE CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially does it come with re. doubled persuasiveness, greater pow CT and sweeter pleading to the man of affairs when the clouds of financial unrest begin to darken the sky; when the cry of panic causes people to lose their wits and act like stampeded cat tie; when with reason or without reason there arises before him the specter of ruin, grinning in his face and waving it's gaunt arms in threat ening gestieulation.
 The pitiable state into which some men were brought by the recent finan. cial furry, which happily is now passed, suggests these reflections. Some were ruined and very few be- came insane because of their losses. Two or three took their own lives.
 It is when such times come that the statesman, the great financier, and the man of affairs becomes tired of the struggle. He lays down his pen, turns from his desk and listens to the CALL OF THE SOIL.
 There are hundreds of cases throughout the United States of those who have money in the banks and are looking for investment in lands. No investment is better or Safer. Take, for instance, the lands in Western Can. ada that can be bought at from $10 to S15 per acre which yield a revenue equal to and often greater than their original cost. Those lands make a certain investment. During the past two months large investments in these lands have been made, some in- tending to use the lands for farming purposes of their own Others to re- sell to farmer friends. The agents of the Government of Canada located at different points throughout the United States have in their possession par ticulars of districts in which there are free homestead grants of 160 acres each accessible to railways, markets, schools, churches. &c. These are val uable lands. These agents will be pleased to give information to any de- sirous of securing, and will tell all about the railway rates, Sc.
