TUESDAY. JULY 10. 1910.

Professor l.. H. Bailey, Of Cornell
University, speaking before the Vir-
GINA Rural Life Conference, at Char
lottesville Tuesday. said. among
many other interesting things:
I'VE are entering upon time of
marked revival of rural interests.
The country life movement is sound
at the center. and will have great
influence on the course of events in
the next twenty-five years. Poll
ticians will use it to ride into power;
but there also will arise countrymen
with craftsmanship in them. We
may look for Governors Of States
and more than one President out OF
it."
Professor Bailey's statement is
not only true, but when the time
comes in fulfillment of his prophecy,
the general prosperity and happiness
Of this country today will be as moth
ing as compared with that time.
The chief drawback to general pros
perity is the concentration Of popu-
lation and wealth in large cities.
The attractiveness and profitable
ness of rural life alone can break up
this concentration. The minds of
the best and most intelligent men of
our day are bent upon making rural
life attractive, and with its natural
advantages to begin with, how can
they fail? Even now it is recognized
that it takes as much intelligence
and as much education to make
successful farmer as it does to make
a successful lawyer, doctor or bust
ness man. This is bringing about a
transformation to which the eyes of
the people are gradually opening,
and when they are fully opened. we
will see men who till the soil in high
offices, not only in recognition of
that great class of citizens which is
the foundation of our prosperity,
but because they have the ability
and honesty to hold the job.

nearly $500 in money disappeared
