night before, when he was alone and the
world was still, and he sprang forward,
bearing to the right towards the river with
out hesitation. He covered the first hund-
red yards speedily, and then beganto move
slowly and cautiously keeping close to the
earth and showing marked preference for
low ground. His eyes and ears told him
nothing for a quarter Of an hour, and then
he suddenly crouched as he noticed the
plain trail Of a man. From the bottom Of
one Of the heel-prints leaf was slowly ris-
ing, telling him how new the trail was; and
as if this were not enough he heard a twig

knee and thought quickly. Why had the
other left so plain trail down the middle Of
the brush plot and one so straight Hopa-
long would not track, for he was no assassin;
but he knew what he would do il he were,
and careless. The answer leaped to his
suspicious mind IN d Aasn, and he did not
care to waste any time in trying to deter
mine whether or not Elkins was capable Of
such a trick He worked on the presump-
ton that the trail lad been made plain for
reason, and that not far ahead at some
suitable place the maker lay in wait. He
smiled savagely, worked backward and,
turning, struck of in circle. II was not
long before he came upon the same trail
again andhe started another circle. A bull

Contest interest on the Big Island
and Maui continues to center In the
candidates for chaperone, and this,
Il seems, for the reason that the
candidates for this position are cast
ing their ballots. while the trip con-
testants are holding back for big
showing at the end.
The contest manager returned
this morning by the Mauna Loa
from two weeks visit to the con-
testants on Hawaii and Maui. While
away he Issued over a hundred thou
sand votes for the contestants on
these two islands.
The success OF Mrs. Siemson on
Hawaii Is one OF the topics of con-
versation in Hilo. Mrs. Siemson is
employed as matron at the Hilo
Hotel, and her fitness for the posi-
tion that the Bulletin Is offer

rome, on Hawaii, is the word dupli-
cate of what Mrs. Beggs' friends say
in their canvass for votes on Maui.
Mrs. Beggs holds a responsible po-
sition at the Puunene Hospital, and
although she has only been on Maui
one year, she has secured the friend
ship OF great many people there
who are Loyalty supporting her.
Another chaperone contestant who
is being consistently supported by
her friends Is Mrs. Daniels of La
haina. She is making a systematic
canvass of that part of Maui. and
her friends In other sections OF the
Islands are doing as much to for
ward her candidacy to success.
Perhans the interest In the chape-
rons contest overshadows that OF
the contest among the trip contest
ants on these two islands merely be-
cause the Bul letin readers feel
that the chaperone contest is a con-
test against all the other islands,
while that for the trip contestants
is a home affair.

ured off. Our thinking men are de
manding constructive policies and ie-
velopment, and are no longer satisfied
with changes in office that fail to pro
Guce constructive results.
It is when such d comprehension of
Southern aspiration suddenly flashes
upon us that we see that there is no ac-
tuaI conflict between this or that or
ganization, between this or that hon
est endeavor, but that all organized
efforts of labor and capital, of social
life or of education must have a com

life. Boys corn clubs, the battle

lie service IS approached. There rs an
increasing sense of duty to the child in
preparation for the battle Of life
mere material development IS not the
aim. There IS in'ebtier purpose.
It is that out of better prospects may
come keener sense Of responsibility
for the progress of esch state and the
glory OF the whode nation.
I can best voice the greatest com
struetive thought in the Southern
mind by a figure that is nationwide IN
it's application This nation IS like mn
to the solar system. The government
in Washington is the sun around which
the planets .swing-the power to re-
sist Capitalization rests solely IN tic
planets themselves as they move for
ward in their orbits. If they halt they
swing inward. On the other hand, the
power to prevent individual destruction
rests in the sum- In this simiItude DO
we see, not the impulse of our youth
towards separation, but a maturer view
of the national Importance of states
rights. We are keenly realizing the
necessity for each state to see well to
the affairs that belong TO IT. When
our states are guided and controlled by
statesmen no harmful pull towards cen
tralization will be felt, but each state.
will continue to rotate on its own axis
and smoothly swing in its own orbit

tenn whose grandeur and whose order is
only to be parallelel by the order OF

of mere party strife. They are weary
of tasting Dead Sea apples after this

with men who rake dead ashes Fer live

Who make our young men bow to the

that great state to have a fighting

life. It is true that ten years ago mo-
where was there a greater properties
of i1Eteracy than in the South, and Is
may be that the census of 1910 viii
still show some of that il1iteracy re-
naming, but out of our long-continuea
poverty we are lengthening the school
year. Out of our wreck and rain we
are putting up high schools by the hun
dreds. Out of our scattered little
school houses we are beginning to work
better calibre and longer sessions It
may be that at some points IN the South
there are still school teachers less lib
orally paid than Northern street clean
sing rapidly, and is in no wise to be
blamed to lack of patriotism but on
ly to a lack Of means in the past to do
better. In speaking of educational
progress, there is no need that I should
touch upon every state, for all states
are stirred, but ] can give you some
typical instances of progress. Up to
three years ago Alabama had no state
high schools in the counties Within
three years the erection of sixty six
have been undertaken and not one of
them has been located except upon var
liable contributions by the community
receiving them. Right down below
US in Arkansas, within the month, one
community has put up $4,000 in cash
and 200 acres of land to locate an agri-
culeural high school. The county of
Durham, S. c., has ten high schools.
Referring again TO Alabama, I may
mention that within two years and a
half sos rural schools have been re-
paired or built, and in a great number
of cases these schools are located on
two acres of ground, each decided In
fee simple to the state. These are mere
Iy symptoms of the educational trans
ition. Let no man think of the South
as backward in this essential of pro
gress. In fact, in 1860 the while Union
paid an educational bill of something &
over $22,000,00o. The South is now

said that we seek political positions
only for the honor, and the thought of
the dollar did not enter into it. There
IS as much honor in commerce as there
IS IN the mud-shnging struggles for
office in which we indulge so frequent
~. There is more honor in subduing
the earth according to the Divine de-
cree than there is in futtering for a

that the plea against commercialism

But the tree which is cut down and

The True Greatness.

Tins brief survey of Southern CON
struetive forces is nearing its end by
reason of the time at my disposal.
When all is said AMI done in regard
to the progress of the South and we
set it forth in figures running into
millions and billions and state that
certain bases of greatness have always
been in the South, we are approaching
the personal sense of duty which comes
to good men sooner or later-that 1t
is not documents embodying words of
dead men, that it is not statistics will
make our greatness actual or bring
greatness to the nation. Greatness
depends upon the personal life, the iiv-
ing hearts and minds Of men, inspir-
ed by these documents and inspired by
these statistics to live worthily in their
own day. The greatness of the South
and of the Union depends upon the
eager, earnest enterprise of men who
regard life as trust and who, in their
journey on earth, endeevor to SO live
that those who have passed before may
see them worthy descendants and those
who ara - come after may fnd them
worthy ancestors,

Yet is it not true that no one song
ever contained all OF harmony, that no
one poem ever contained all of aspira-

must interests come together, ready to
give AMI to take concessions from each
other until we approximate the ulti

harmonies to be sung, aspirations TO
be voiced, things 10 be accomplished,

of US through deceit declare that a
mans life shall be made miserable and
in some eases ended because he has
not yet learned the lesson of co-opera-

Reclamation Purposes.

AS a proof of the proad thought of
the South and the sympathy of our pub
lie men wi all that makes for great
er nation, let me point to the fact that
no voice of weight has ever been rals-
ed in protest against the vast expen-
ditures of the national government in
rendering arid lands of the West the
productive sites of happy homes
Though all this time there had rested
within the South itself a vastly more
productive area of vastly greater scope
simply awaiting the removal of excess
moisture, the men of the South have
rested content knowing that the policy
n favor of irrigation would ultimate
ly show itself in favor of drainage.
Of such lands the South has SO ,O00.0
acres while all the irrigation projects
IN the West up to December 1908, rep
~esent less than a possible 5000. 900
acres. ] do not by this, intend for a
moment TO suggest that the men of the
South will ever come clamoring to
Washington for vast means to drain
he infinitely rich swamp areas along
he coast line and in the Mississippi
valley.
IF ] read the Southern Thought Alright
7ve shall simply come to Washington
and demand that the national govern
cnent, interested in maintaining the
balance and the rights of states shall
Undertake a survey, at national ex-
pense, of all these vast areas, thus per-
hitting states, drainage districts, and
individuals to work out the recIama-
ton Of these lands along lines that will
for al time be the greatest advan-
tage TO the whole area involved. This
survey also invi YES increased atten-
ton of the government to the naviga-
bic streams serving these drainage ar
eas so that they may be able to carry
off the excess moisture thus passed in
to them.
