We struck the canal at Isma1lla,

JAFFA.
With this letter J begin the story
Of my travels in the Holy Land, dur
ing which time l shall visit the most
interesting places, gOing on foot, on
horseback and in carriages from the
Mediterranean to the Dead sea and
from Beersheba to Dan l shall have
my camera with me. and with pen
and photograph shall show o the
land Of our Lord as it looks in this
good year 1910.
In the first place, let me give you
q b;rd's-eye view of the country.
Palestine is not large. With one or
Mr.. Wright's aeropIanes We could fS
over the whole of it in a very few
hours, and were it crossed by rail-
ways q fast express would carry Us
from one side to the other in about
fifty minutes. Including Syria, which
takes in the mountains of lebanon
and much other COuntry in addition
to Palestine roper, it is not as long
as from New York to Pittsburg, and
Its average width is less than fifty
miles. It begins at the boundary OF
Asia Minor on the north, ana extends
from there h along the line
of the Mediterranean sea until it Is
lost in the sands Of Arabia.
AS for the Holy Land itself, that is
not as big as Rhode Island. Ir yoL
could take 1t up and stretch It over
the United States it would hardly
make a patch OF court plaster on
upon New England, with one end at
Boston, the other would be at Mount
Washington, and the most of the coun-
try would not be wider than from
Boston to Springfield. II spread out
upon northern Illinois the whole
might be included inside a line drawn
from Chicago to Aurora and thence
to Decat and back to Chicago.
a Land of Milk and Honey.
The Bible has called this little ter
ritory q land of milk and honey. The
expression must have come by con-
trast with the dreary sand Of the
Sinai desert, through which the
lsraei1tes travelled on their way IT,
1t. AS L know it from former travels,
II is more rocky than any part of the
A~lleguemes, and the Blue Ridge Of
Virginia, which is covered with stones.

mountains comprising the hills OF
Judea, Samaria and Cameo, with a low

running from one to the other. This
ditch is below the level of the sea
and parts OF it have the hottest and
most oppressive climate on earth. On
the opposite side of the Jordan to-
ward the east is a country much richer
Palestine. 1t is composed or
highlands from 1000 to 5000 feet
above sea level, giving excellent pas
ture and, in the north, large crops OF

Is chairman OF the Democratic con-
vention provided his plan is an open
question at that time, puts new
light on some conditions In the Dem
ocratic situation. Many OF the Dem
Ocrats believe that Governor Marshall
should he the presiding officer, in fact
they think that II he is not one Of the
presiding officers. his friends may
think that he has been snubbed. And
yet many Of those who wish him to
WELD the gavel would not like to have
him discuss his senatorship plan. So
it seems that a grave question faces
the Democrats. On the one hand Gov
ernor Marshall will be presiding Of
ficer and may cast bomb into the
convention by discussing his senator
ship plan and on the other hand II he
is not the presiding officer. q great

may be MORALLY offended and may

the Democrats.
The only solution of the matter so
far as the Democratic leaders can see
is to prevent the Governors senator.
ship plan from coming up on the floor
OF the convention. In other words,
the resolutions committee must be
SO chosen that it will stifle any plan
of the kind. Then it is argued the
Governor will not have the opportuni
ty to discuss the matter.
But Of course, that would be taking
nA to- ! H.,<
the governor. If he has an opportunity
to make speech on the subject before
the convention, might sway the dele
gates and carry his plan with a whoop
The adoption Of the resolution would
be followed by the business of nomi
mating a candidate for United States
Senator and that is where the fur
would begin. So there are several
democrats who believe that strong res
olutions should be adopted for the gov
ernor, that committee representing
the entire convention should be sent tt
his office to pay respects to him, In
fact that most anything should be done
to show love and fealty for the COVER
nor so long as he can be kept ava,
