A colored man who claims to have

native gallantry that keeps him from

Although the interest in pedestrianism
has fallen off, it must not be understood that
the American people to-day neglect walking
to an extent that would merit criticism. As
matter of fact, people probably walk more
to-day than they ever did, if we except those
comparatively brief periods when pedestrian
ism attracted temporarily large numbers of
devotees.
The life of to-day is such that an active
man of business is compelled to do much
more walking than person in his relative
position was called on to do years ago. While
the facilities for transportation have multi

Admitted to Bail.

Last Friday E. T. LaFitte, Esq,
appeared before Associate Justice
Eugene B. Gary, of the State Su-
preme Court, in Columbia, and made
a motion for bail for j. J. England,
who is charged with the killing of
w. H. Garner. Bail was granted in
the sum of $4,000. The bond was
signed early Saturday morning, and
Mr.. England was released from Jail
and went to his home.
We saw some of the affidavits and
testimony on which the motion was
made, but they contain little more
than what has been published. The
testimony of Mrs. Garner and Mrs.
May at the coroner's inquest was
given, as was also the testimony of
negro woman and the negro man,
Peter Hammond. The negroes swore
that Garner fired first. while Mrs.
Garner and her mother testified that
England fired first. There was also
an affidavit as to threats made by
Garner against England, made by
MIR. F. E. Steedly, which stated that
Garner had threatened to kill Eng
land.

The statement that migratory farm
ing belongs to men and not to human
derelicts," made by a writer in the In
dependent, Is one to catch the fancy,
and the idea Is timely perhaps-timely
II any number Of the people who be-
lieve they have a mission to reform
farming see possible solution of the
problem Of farming with profit and
pleasure at the same time In the
scheme of one farmer running two
farms. This the writer in the indie
pendent says can be done by one hand
running a farm In the far south and
another farm In the north. Thus the
forced ldleness on a northern farm In
winter and the depressing heat Of sum-
mer In the south will both be avoided.
The scheme figures out right ON pa
per. Perhaps hired help can be de-
pended upon to look after the work at
either end while the farmer Is on the
other Job. Possibly such help can be
had without eating up all the growing
seasons profits. But in this case we
would doubtless see one farmer run
ming chain Of farms I'm the south and
another chain Of farms In the north.
with crops in the ground all the time.
However. nature Is bound to have
something to do with the matter Of the
physique OF the farmer as well as
with the crops he puts In the ground.
IL is a notion hard to combat that the
northern bred man to be healthy
should freeze up with nature in the
winter and thaw out with it in the
spring. Man in the south must be ac-
climated to be well, and he thrives
best when he remains right where his
physique Is at home Moreover, the
small farmer, whether north or south,
works overtime during the growing
season and needs a rest for recupera-
tion quite as much as the soil which
be tills. Nature must rest, and the
farmer who refuses to rest, too, takes
big chances on health and endurance
for the next campaign afield.

WHY THE sECRECY2

The state land board is being crit
icised for It's methods in disposing
of state lands OF the timber counties.
Last fall lands In Kootenai and Bon
ner counties were advertised for sale,
but on some pretext the state board
postponed the sale indefinitely, and
II Is Tumored that the date of the
sale has again been fixed with az
little publicity as possible, the board
probably taking this precaution for
the purpose Of preventing a crush of
bidders and possible loss of life in the
Jam on the day of sale. Instead Of
readyertislng In the state papers, and
giving the sale as much publicity as
possible, the board has gone into the
state OF Washington and inserted In
conspicuous advertisements in OBJ
scure positions in the Spokesman Re-
view, fixing the date of sale. Just
where the wise men forming this
board find law for going into another
state for their legal advertising we
do not know, and for the benefit of
the public would like to be shown.
The state land board. probably has
reasons for this method OF advertis-
ing. II may be that they fear Idaho
people will secure some OF the timber
at sacrifice, or people living In Spo-
kane may wish to purchase without
too heavy competition. However.
II these reasons are not good, 1t may
be that the board will tell the people
why these timber advertisements are
published in another tate. II is a
wonder that the local organs OF the
board have not been recognized and
publicity given at home. 1t there
Is nothing wrong with the apparent
secrecy that is being thrown around
these sales. the board should come
out of hiding and give the people
some reason for It's action.

Germany and the Airshin.

The victory Of the German balloon
list In the international race Of last
year was no accident. Starting from
st. Louis, he aimed for New York and
landed just a little south of 1t after
travelling almost in a bee line for the
goal. The Germans have maintained
school Of aeronautlcs for two years,
and although they do not seem to have
press agent to keep their records
and new inventions in the llmellght, as
do the French, the nation is really up
to date II not little ahead in the mat
ter of practical aeronautlcs.
France, 1t is well known, has paid
special attention to military ballooning
and to the development OF the airship
for use in war. Apparently Germany
Is not behind her rival in the effort to
master this new adjunct to military
armament. She Is now manufacturing
guns Of a peculiar pattern for use in
the air and has a system Of wireless
telegraphy adapted to balloons. The
parliament appropriated 100000 re-
Gently for alrship experiment and con-
structlon, and confidence in aerial nav
igation is not confined to the govern
ment Several large alrship corpora
tons have come into being in Ger
many. Having so good a start, the
Germans will be hard to rival and
still harder to beat In that era pre-
dicted by the poet when "the nations
airy navies grapple in the central
blue"

American Peasants?

Mrs. Humphry Ward has written
some very readable and dlverting nov
els, using character and local color
belonging to England, which ID her
home. Recently she delivered a lee
tuFe on the peasant in literature be
fore a New York audience and made
the break Of holding up for analysis
the American peasant class" To
her European mind the everyday
types found In novels depicting life
in New England, Tennessee and on the
plains are peasants because they have
coarse hands and are seen at their
rough tasks. In saying that these
people make delightful studies I'm lit
erature Mrs. Ward means to be COM
plimentary, but she fails Of attaining
to the whole truth by not knowing
that they represent American life.
There are no peasants In America
except the few who come here from
Europe to escape the lntOlerabIe class
bondage OF their fatherland In truth,
the American plain folks who get into
novels we're never in the peasant class.
They come from ancestors of the mid
de and even upper classes in Europe,
who emigrated to enjoy the blessings
Of free thought and free worship.
Those combinations of philosophy and
humor. with physical hardihood and
endurance. which make characters for
literary treatment result from the
clash OF culture with wild nature.
And SO the man with the hoe can Inn
press the prayer meeting and sway
the town meeting with thoughts that
are classic, although his language and
delivery may be unpublished. 1t re-
qulres vast landed estates to breed
race Of peasants, and these fortunate
ly America has never been cursed
with.

student Strikes.

Within a few weeks lnsurrection OF
students at prominent institutions Of
learning have been reported In various
quarters. In every case the strike
was rebellion against wholesome dis
cipllne. Individually many Of these
cases may arouse local sympathy and
federation. The young are generally
lmpulslve. Even district school schol-
ars have Tebelled and had the commu-
nifty with them.
Wholesale condemnation Of striking
students may be unjust. Neverthe-
less the tendency to strike out Of sym
patty with a fellow student who has
been disciplined seems to be growing
and Is an alarming symptom in a col
lege or university. Young men who
have a higher education provided for
them are supposed at the outset to be
persons OF honor-ln other words, to be
men who will act like men and not
like mere schOolboys. They are put
upon their honor to brook wise and
necessary supervision and control by.
the college superlors. The individual
who secretly evades rules betrays his
fellows. Where a large body Of stu
dents rebel the honor Of the college 10
betrayed. A large school is a small
army, and every gross breach Of dis
clpllne heralded from there encourages
the hoodlum element Of the country
to fight against the restraints Of So
clety.
