VENUSBERG-A. r. G.. City. What Is the
story or legend OF the Venusberg mountains OF
Germany or Italy?
Venusberg is the name OF several
mountains in Germany. especially in
Schwabia. The name also appears in
italy. According to poem published
in The Netherlands in 1884. The Chill
dren OF Limburg." Lady Venus holds
her court in the interior of the noun
tains with song and dance, banquet and
reyelS. Persons of earthly mold some
times visit her abode and they are all
represented as tarrying a longer or
shorter Tina leading a life of delight.
Yet they always run the risk of eter-
nal perdition. Therefore, Eckhart. the
faithful, sits before the entrance to-
the mountains and warns mortals
against entering. The condition OF the
so1ourners does not always present an
ent1cing aspect, for there are at times
heard issuing from the mountains the
lamentations OF the damned. 1t is also
said that the witches in their night
expeditions rendezvous in the Venus
berg From the various traditions IL fs
apparent that they originated in tha
mythology of the highest German an
tiquity.

~ That insurgency changed the
government of Wall street. Out of
its consequences there arose a party
conservative but progressive, inde-
pendent but loyal, which has been
able in the last five years to shape
the policy of the financial center to
the great advantage of the whole
country.
We are all of us great deal too
scared of names, most of which mean
rather less than nothing. Anybody
who wants to take the hand of

newspaper are essentially conserva-
tive, but there are certain phases of
business" which it would gladly see
undermined with a stick of moral
dynamite. We would even undergo
the terrible peril of being called an
lnsurgent therefor
What is wanted and needed is the
most direct expression of public
opinion, If the popular will is to
prevail as it ought to prevail. If
insurgency will test the old shib-
boleths and cast new light upon new

The San Francisco call., 1910-09-29

A few years hence, and we shall
find ourselves wondering why the
attitude of the progressive sec
tion of the republican party ex-
cited such intense bitterness. There
is nothing immoral in insurgency
such as that of a Dolliver or a
Fowler, although to judge by the
New York Sun and other worshipers
of the vested interest some wrong
has been inflicted when one section
of party grows strong enough to
enforce it's views upon the rest.
This is the normal working of
self governing country in the world
would the insurgent be abused like
a pickpocket. irrespective of whether
the changes he desired were wise or
not. Insurgency obtains in any
democratic condition, and the name
merely begs the question. We are
a nation of insurgents. and If we are
to continue to hand on the traditions
of the embattled farmers of Lexing-
ton most sensible people will believe
that the evidence OF national viri1ity
afforded thereby is well worth the
sacrifice of Cannon's much be-
loved job, or even of the services of
a number of politicians who must
pass into private life.
Our whole national life is insurg-
ent. There is an insurgent element
which keeps Wall street clean. Some
