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

A stan contributor Of a southern
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken 1t for the glitter of the
city. He says: ut Is u well known
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon its pco-
pie aud its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, financie, shave as q rule
been those whose youth was spent on
tho farm, and II Is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does 1t come with re-
doubled responsiveness, greater pow.

unrest begin to darken the sky; when

The pitlable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan.

Two or three took their lives.
1t 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 $40 to
SIS 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 al
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par
~ticulars of districts in which there are
free homestead grants of 160 acre:
each accessible to railways, markets
schools, churches, &C. These are val
liable lands. These agents will bt

sirous Of securing, and will tell al
about the railway rates. &C.

RECKONING MUST BE HAD.
Neessslty That President Castro De
Called TO Account.

The Venezuelan question Ia at last
before congress. No n will deny
that the American government has
been careful, deliberate and patient
with President Castro and his ad'
visers. No one will charge It with
jingoism or s~pectacularism In come
ton with this vexed and obscure and
complicated question, which, apon
analysis, resolves itself into a series
Of distinct claims and disputes. And
no one can doubt that II a greater
and more responsible power were In.
volved In this controversy with the
United States our government would
have acted with far more vigor and
far less reluctance and h~esitancy. 1t
is, in truth, the weakness and com.
parative insigniflcance OF Venezuela
as a possible opponent Of the United
States that. have caused the latter to
overlook various manifestations OF "in'
difference and disrespect' on the part
Of Castro and to rely on diplomacy
after all its other resources had been
exhausted.
1t Is extremely unpleasant for n
powerful, honorable and self.respect-
ing nation to be forced into an open
rupture with a minor and reckless
power. Some are bound to misinter-
pref and misrepresent such a situa
ton to the advantage of the poor,
helpless under dog" Yet 1t Is toler'
ably plain that weakness Is no excuse
for injustice, unreasonablencss and an
offensive. contemptuous attitude. I'm
der certain circumstances It may be.
come the painful duty Of the big
power to discipline and coerce one
that merely presumes on its small
ness and insignificance.
In the case Of Venezuela our gov.
eminent has certainly reached Il stage
where 1t must either use some form
of coercion or submit to what 1t be-
lieves and feels to be grave injustice
to persons and corporations entitled
to It's aid and protection. Secretary
Root has thrice demonstrated his good
will toward our ncighbors in Central
and South America. He has made
conspicuously successful efforts to dis
pei suspicion and prejudice against
rs and to establish friendly. fair,
frank relations among all the nations
Of the western hemisphere. lie Is
moreover. an able lawyer and clear
headed statesman. He has earnestl,
considered every objection Venezuela
has advanced to the arbitration tha'
we have proposed to her on severa

allowances and discounted ever!
claim that was OF doubtful equity
Enough. however, remains even I. TIM
least meritorious OF the claims to dc
mand honest recognition from Vene
Zuela.
Such recognition Castro has con
tumaciously refused even to consider
and the time has come for appropriate
action in the premises on the part o
congress. Whatever is done SHOULD
be done thoughtfully, circumspectl,
and soberly. however.

from Mr.. Bryan the following brief

How Soldiers of Company H Came
to be Richest of Tenth Infantry

Few persons who witnessed the
members of the Tenth Regiment about
their meals while in camp at Glen
Miller Park, understood the real sig
nificance. The majority of the spec
tators believed Uncle Sam supplied all
the provisions including tomatoes, rice
pudding. baked beans, etc. The mis-
take is a common one, but the extras"
on the soldiers bill Of fare are paid
for out of the company fund. This is
raised in various ways, usually by con-
tributions of each member of the
company. In some instances this con-
tribution is 81 per month.
Company HIS fund has been raised
In two hemispheres and three zones.
While on post duty in the United
States, while in service In Cuba and
the Philippine Islands and while on
post duty in Alaska. Money proved
more plentiful in Alaska and there is
where the company's fund grew the
fastest. 1t now amounts to more
than $1,000. Besides their monthly
contributions the soldiers have man
aged to raise money in other ways for
their fund. In Alaska minstrel shows

KERN IS EXPLAINING
Tells of His Connection With
Thomas Taggart, Gamb-

READY TO BACK RECORD.

Fincastle, Va. Oct. 9.-John w.
Kern, after reading the published at
tack upon him by w. r. Hearst in a
speech in Los Angeles, Cal. said con-
cerning his connection with the French
Lick Springs Hotel company, he. with
other counsel, was employed to defeat
suits involving forfeiture of charter
and the appointment of a receiver and
that he and his associates served the
corporations as they would have served
any other client. Similar service was
rendered at the same time, he said. to
the West Baden Springs company. with
which Thomas Taggart had no connec-
ton.
Regarding his nomination, Mr. Kern
said: 1T is well known fact that I
did not want the nomination. and so
declared at Denver. However, after
the convention had given me the NOM
ination by unanimous vote the idea
that | would insult the men who had
thus honored me by saying that owed
the nomination to Mr.. Taggart is so
preposterous as to need no denial"
He declares he stands willing to back
up his public record.
