Own Your Farm.

That state is most prosperous and
content where the. most farms are
owned by the men who work them.
This idea was vigorously urged in an
address issued by President Charles
S. Barrett, OF the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative union. His
timely words should be taken as
warning and an inspiration in every
quarter of America and particularly
here in the South. For we shall ner--
er uphold a great nation or uphold
a great south on a system Of farm
tenancy.
It is a strange and pitifnl thing.
says the Atlanta Journal that M IN
should talk constantly Of their polit-
ical rights and yet sleep over their
ecpnomic opportunities; that they
should clamors for new laws and yet
ignore the fundamental natural laws
that underly their own and the
states progress. One Of these
great natural laws is that in
dependence and advancement can;
never be fully enjoyed by the
man who spends his life tiliing an
others land and makes no effort to
get land OF his own. This policy,
if continued, menas. as President
Barrett clearly points out. nothing
but return of feudalism as a yoke
upon the individual and a blight
upon our whole society.
One of the most wonderful ma
tions In the world today is Denmark.
1t lies far among the: surly winds OF
the North sea. Its soil is naturally
stirgy, and its. climate Is grabbed.
Yet its commerce is amazing in vol
ume and it feeds. in part, almost
every country On the earth. In Dem
mark, ninety per cent of the land
is titled by men who own it. There
are: few great plantations, but there
are. hundreds of thrifty, profitable
little farms, some Of, them not ex-
ceeding FIVE or six acres, but yield
ing livelihood for the whole fami-
.ly. And that is the source of Dem
marks widespread wealth and the
intelligence of her people.
AS President Barrett declares:
The man who does not own his farm
lis likely to ';be almost constantly in
debt to his landlord. From years
end to the other his obligations are
perpetual and self-renewing. He mus
consult his landlord regarding what
crops and how much OF each. crop
he must cultivate. Often he is un-
der debt for, the very necessities OF
life and in some instances ] have
known his type to drag out a hand
to-nlouth existence.
A strong civilization cannot be
built upon such conditions. 1t may
require hard sasrifine and self-den'al
for a man to. buy his farm, but the
reward Of freedom for himself and
his children is worth the price. how
ever pinching 1t may be.

The Ambitions of Royalty

We are gravely told that Dowager
Queen Alexandra, of Great Britain, Is
very miserable because her place has
been taken by her sons wife, who be-
came queen when George (Alexandra's
Oldest SOM succeeded his father, the late
King Edward, to the throne.
Newspaper reporters do not always
speak the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, but it seems to me that the
Dowager Queen Alexandra has no par
ticular cause for grief on this line. she
may regret the loss Of her husband-it IL
likely she does-but he lived fast LIE
and doubtless gave her reason to feel
much neglected at various times, and on
various occasions; but her own child
came to the throne on his demise, sue
ceeded his father in a most natural way
and it strikes me she has reason also o
be very thankful that he and her grand
children inherit the British throne, with
out opposition, when thrones are become
such uneasy places, on which to sit, and
dynamite bombs are so easily procured

Scholarships

Preparations are being made for the
1910 examinations of applicants for
sch olarships at oxford under the terms
of the will of the late Cecil Rhodes. en-
pire builder, diamond king and philan-
t..ropist. When he was only "a years
Of age, Cecil Rhodes wrote his first will,
an instrument which would do credit to
one of mature years and extended expe-
rience. In this will he reoited the fact
that he was living for three objects.
One of these was service to his country,
the second was the betterment of the
human race, and the last was the end
of all wars. When he wrote his last
will, making the munificent bequest for
the education Of selected men at Ok
ford, he had all three Of these objects
in mind. BY it's terms opportunity is af-
forded to about two hundred young men
to take a three years course at oxford,
one Of the worlds most ancient and
greatest centers Of culture. OF these 1t
is provided that two shall come from
each state and territory in the United
States, fifteen shall come from Ger
many and the rest from the colonies Of
the mother country scattered through
out the globe.
It was Rhodes first, intention that all
these scholarships should go to the Unit
ed States and the English colo les. The
provision for the fifteen from Germany
was an afterthought, and was made in
a codicil to his last will. His purpose
in making this additional provision was
in furth eranoe of his hope that at some
future time the three great Tutonic ma
tions of the world-the United States,
England and GermSny-might establish
hegemony for the insurance OF an
abiding world peace. In this Rhodes
was nearly a decade ahead Of the latest
advocates of such world peace. When
Andrew Carnegie recently made his
speech at the national press club in
\, ashington, he declared that no nation
was better fitted to sit in judgment in
its own cause than an individual was
equipped for the handing down OF \

proper decision in case where his own
interests are at stake.
1t was the fond belief of Rhodes that
he could accomplish the same thing for
which Carnegie and Root have been
working by establishing these scholar
ships at oxford. He was persuaded
that as the Rhodes scholars went out
into the world Of affairs they would con-
stitute the little leaven of international
friendship which would leaven the whole
lump OF word affairs. In order that this
might be made possible, his wul laid
down many interesting and thoughtful
tests that should be applied to the pros
pective applicants for sch olarships. The
Rhodes student must be unmarried. He
must have gone through at least the
sophomore year in some recognized uni
versity. He must be between 10 and 25
years Of age. And no mere bookworm
need expect to command the $4,000 a
Rhodes scholarship is worth. Mr..
Rhodes always felt an influential mind
needs a strong body to back 1t up, and
therefore provided that every success
full candidate should be interested in
cricket or other athletics. Furthermore
more, he must have shown himself to
be possessed of the manly virtues
friendship for the oppressed, sympathy
for the weak and a desire to do some
thing for his fellow-men. Personal mag
netism and we'll developed qualities Of
leadership, in conjunction with fondness
for athletics, count more in the Rhodes
examination than the educational tests.
Last year there were 17s Rhodes stu
dents "in residence" at oxford. Ninety
Of these came from the United States,
Is from the English colonies, and IL
from the German Empire. There were
SO students from the United States who
had completed their courses at the be-
grHning of the present calendar year.
Eighty-two of these have returned to
the United States, and have entered va
rious vocations; the others remained in
England to engage in business there.
There has been much speculation In
