The Country Town Is The-===========
e-==- Dependence of The Nation
By WALTER wELLMAN In The Talisnan

There are many country merch-
ants who see their trade gradually
slipping away from them-leaving
the country town and going to the
great cities by the channel of the
mail order trade.
There are many country editors
who see the prosperity of their town
depleted and circulation and adver-
Using income reduced for the same
reason.
There are very few, however, who
realize that their problem is a nat
ural one, and that it is wrapped up
in and part of the great fundamen-
tai question, whether this nation
shall be perpetuated or shall be de-
stroyed by the physical degeneration
of humanity, the social unrest, in
dustrial discomfort, moral and polit.
ical corruption and class hatred bred
in the city slums and tenements and
certain to eliminate in anarchistic
crimes, riotous mobs and all-destroy-
ing social upheavals, as the result of
some long continued period of in
dustria1 and commercial depression.
The fact is that the upbuilding of
the country town and suburban viii
lage, is an antidote and safeguard
against the poisonous social, moral,
physical and political consequences
of herding millions of our working
people together in the unnatural con-
gested life of the tenements, is the
one great question that. arises above
all others in Importance as a prob
lem that this nation must solve. I'm
less it does solve it, it will suffer
death from human degeneracy-the
fate of so many nations and civiliza-
tions that have risen in the past only
to be destroyed. Ours will be like
wise destroyed unless we take heed
in time.
Macaulay saw this danger anc

The Man and His Job
By Herbert J. Hapgood
By Herbert J. Hapgood

Be bigger man than your job! Then you can make
the job as big as you and command increased
airy for your work. Water cannot rise higher than its
level and job for you you are going
to be swamped.
An official Of the United States Steel company in
Pttsburg who has directly under supervision hun
dreds of young clerical men, the other day
"Filled! Not by long shot! There are simply
bunch of fellows rafting around in them"
Don't rattle around in your place like skeleton

it is up to the live to be bigger than the jobto

AY. M. c. A. secretary told that he wanted
to make his job big that his have
hard time filling it.
He strived always to develop features, work
out original ideas in such effective way that the job
would be too big for anybody else. Evidently this

which confronted him. He far stronger than the
man who originally held the position He not only filed

he created ones.
That kind OF man is bigger than his job and only
such one is indispensable to his employer.

Empire and crumbled the proud
palaces of it's Caesars into the dust.
The danger arises from the con-
gestion of population in cities and
from nothing else.
The solution lies in checking the
further growth of cities as the homes
of industrial workers and scattering
those homes into and among subur-
ban Homecroft Villages and in coun-
try towns and rural settlements.
To do that, trade and industry
must be decentralized. Industries
of all kinds must be established in
the supurbs of the cities or In the
towns instead of in the congested
centers. That is something that re-
quires an organized campaign, but
first it requires current of right
thought in the minds of the people.
1t requires that everything should
be done that can be done to hold in
the existing towns and villages the
trade that now naturally centers
there. Any part of it, small or large,
that is diverted to any of the huge
central mail order concerns in the
big cities, and thereby taken away
from the locality where it originates
and belongs, Is an influence that pro,
notes just to that extent the growth
of the evil that is eating at he heart
of our national life. Whatever is
needed to supply the needs of every
household in every rural commun-
ity should be sold over the counter
of a local store and not through the
postoffice and the mail trade.
Then comes the question of the
growth Of towns and villages. There
is where the country editors and
merchants can help themselves. Once
get it into the minds of the whole
American people that the salvation
of the nation depends on the up.
building of the country towns and
+, suburban villages - get the idea
planted and deeply rooted so it will
grow itself-an thousand infiuenc
es will enter the field and enlist for
the great campaign for rural and
country town and village develop
ment to check the overgrowth OF
cities with all it's resultant evils.
1t cannot be done at once. The
first thing is to get public thought
actively aroused and turned into the
right channels. There must be g
complete common conception in the
minds of millions of people of this
new national ideal. Then there
must be united, concerted and vigor
GUS action to realize that ideal. The
facts and arguments to support il
must be disseminated through {
great educational campaigns entire
| ly separate and apart from politics
| Every country editor and country
merchant should be leader in thu
movement in his locality.

While the custom has arisen of
denominating each congress by some
characteristic name, the choice of
such an appellation for the present
session seems still in doubt. Talked
of at first as the. 'sdo-nothing" con-
gress, it now looks as if the present
gathering of law makers would be
as the "army and navy congress- on
account of the extent of which its
attention has been attracted to the
investigation of all sorts of charges
in connection with these two branch
es of the national defense. The navy
has so far come in for more than
its share of notice, beginning with
the cruise to the Pacific and con-
tinuing throug attacks concerning
method of armament and culminat-
ing at present in the submarine
scandal investigation. So far the
army, except for the Brownville af-
fair, has kept its skirts fairly clean
but it now seems as if it were to even
scores with the navy. DR.. L. l..

Spanish war who was subsequently
with one of the Japanese divisions
in the Russian war and who had

which there can be no nation.
That is just what is happening in
New England today. The difference
between the congested city life and
the healthful village life is illustrat-
ed by the fact that in Birmingham
the death rate in 1904 was 10 per
thousand, while in Bournville, the
beautiful village founded by George
Cadbury, only four miles from Birm-
ingham, the death rate was only 60
per thousand the same year.
Read the reason in these words
on page of ''The Model Village and
Its Cottages: Bournville," by w.
Alexander Harvey, the architect of
the village:
NEARLY every householder there
spends his leasure in gardening and
there is not single licensed-house
in the village"
The plan for the endowment of
iBournville is not in all respects
adapted to the conditions of this
country, but it is successful effort
to solve the problem of preserving
the industrial efficiency of the army
of workers in the nations industries,
without whom those industries can
not exist.

CANNON FOR THE PRESIDENCY
Bryan Believes Speaker Will Be His
Opponent in Race Next Fall
Planks Are Stronger.

Danville. ILL.,. Jan. 9.-W. ]. Bryan,
who spoke tonight at a banquet ten
dered him by the Bryan Democratic
club, declared it his belief that Jo-
seph C. Cannon of Danville would be
the Republican candidate for president
and that he himself would oppose Mr..
Cannon.
Mr.. Bryan spoke on "The Issues of
the Hour" the second speech of the
present Illinois campaign, criticising the
action of the administration and sug-
costing remedies for affairs financial
the curbing of the eastern banks. Wall
street, and the Capitalization of wealth.
His offerings would probably be made
light of by the opposition, he said, and
he be again referred to as a dreamer,
but it mattered not to him.
Mr.. Bryan said there was not a plank
in the platform laid down at Chicago in
1896 but what was stronger now and
that there was not a plank in the Re
publican platform of that year but what
was weaker. Every principle held to-
day by the Democratic party had been
indicated.

CARTER LOSES
HIS PLUMBER
Ex-COnviCt Army Officer Dis
possessed of Bonds and
Other Securities.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Judge Kohlsaat in
the United States circuit court rem
dered a decision this afternoon in favor
of the government in the case against
Captain Carter. former United
States army engineer, charged with
having embezzled 100000 of govern
ment funds through conspiracy with
Contractors Greene and Gaynor.
The court ruled that Carter was not
entitled to the 100000 in unregistered
railroad bonds and other securities
traced by the government to safety de-
pcsit vaults and banks in various parts
of the country. Under the decision the
government will retain these securities,
and the famous case which resulted in
the conviction of Captain Carter and of
Greene and GaynOr and the imposing
of a penitentiary sentence is brought
to a close.
Funds of Captain Carter, which the
government claims were proceeds OF
Carriers collision with Greene and
Gaynor, are tied up by suits pending
IL the federal courts of New York, New
Jersey, West Virginia, Georgia and
Illinois.
The case grew out of the construction
of certain river and harbor improve
ments on the coast Of Georgia. The
government prosecutors contended that
the army officer and the contractors
defrauded the government in the sum
of 81, 225, 900, and that one-third of this
amount, or about $75O,00O. went to Cap
tain Carter. Special assistant TO the
United States attorney general, Marion
Erwin, was assigned to the prosecution
of the cases, AMI after several years
work 100000 invested by Carter in va
rious states was traced and seized.
