The Hunger For the Land

hunger that strengthens nation,
says Alex Mclean, in Denver Field
and Farm. Bread hunger weakenS
a people and III the end means rev
olulpn Money hunger is simply
another u4me for greed and in the
words of the Old proverb, freed
always kllIs"-kilIs family life, kills

Ger Givcs permanence to the home
and stability to our institutions. BY
land hunger | do not mean the mo-
tive that drives men to land grab
bing, or land speculation, or invest
ment in land. That motive may be
and frequently is simily another
form Of money hunger and may be
as dangerous and destructive when
carried to excess as any form Of
greed
mean by land hunger that deep
and passionate instinct to possess
and own and cultivate and keep the
land from which we draw food and
the means of life. | mean the ma
tional and individual instinct that
regards land as the most durable,
the most desirable the most funda-
mental of all the forms of wealth
and places agriculture first in the
honor roll of the industries For
examples of land hunger that lead
to the proper appreciation Of the
value Of land turn to the leading
countries Of Europe from which this
country drew its early immigrants
The aristOCraCy of England is one
the narrOWe5t, most exclusive rigid,
unyieldiDg, conservative and per
haps the most stupid aristocracy in
the world, but it knew the value of
land, seized the land and held it
with q firm grip. BY the institu-
tiOn of entail they prevented alien
alton and secured it as a family
possession forever.
The whole class and social sys-
TEN and a considerable proportion
of the governmental system Of Eng
land is based at bottom on the own
ership Of land. AS a rule then,
Englishmen know the value of land.
The land owners know its value be-
cause it is drilled into them in daily
instruction as a part Of their social
creed. The English tenant farmer
knows its value, because all through
his life he has cultivated fields
which he can never call his own.
The Scotch CrOfters knew the value
of land for that same reason, The
Irish peasants, sCraping a scanty
subsistence from the land of land
lords, defeated again and again in
their attempt to wrest ownership
from the governing classes, come
over to this country, go into politics
and in many cases take a hand in
the government themselves.
All of the leading issues of Eng
lish politics today the Irish, ques-
ton, the house of lords, the budget,
the taxation of land, are all simply
incidents of the attempt of the cul-
tivators of the soil to wrest owner
ship from the lords of the land. The
French peasant knows the value of
land. The ownership Of the land of
France was the one great issue in
the French revolution, and the les
son learned then has never been
forgotten. There is one good rea-
son why France will not return to
a monarchical form of government
and why France will not soon see

theater the anguish of n greater queer
| than either of the others my heart
was melted in sympathy, and longed
to make you happy, as l made them

The actress heart was beating like
a kettledrum. She formed dozen
different plans for calling assistance,
but abandoned them all as soon as
formed She believed that at the
slightest show of weakness the man
would be upon her He had no ak.
nor could she see that he had any 9TH
err weapon, but she did not doubt that
he had concealed the means to take
her life. Her only chance was to
dominate him.

from the commoner? And why did
you behead her? Because she was

She kept her eye fixed on the lunatic
and spoke the words so vigorously,
shaking her fist Mt him and bringing II
down with a blow on the table, that
he made Il step backward. Seeing her
advantage. she rose with view to fol-
lowing 1t up.
And you have come here to treat
me as you have treated these low born
creatures? Are you aware of your
sacrilege? Are you aware that you are
proposing the same death you inflicted
on them? You propose that alone
which can divorce my dignities?"
She made step forward. and the
man made a step backward.

And so. fearing every moment to lose
her hold on him. yet summoning all

By DOROTHEA HALE

The tragedienne after playing the
part OF Queen Katherine In Henry
VIII" to an admiring audience went
to her rooms at her hotel and. being
sery tired, took her supper alone and
IN kimono. Her apartments were in
wing of the hotel on an upper story,
where she could rest In quiet after the
strain of her performances. She had
scarcely got into negligee and seated
herself at her supper table, that she
always found laid for her upon coming
from the theater, when there came a
knock at the door. and before she could
reply to 1t man entered. The actress
hooked ut him in establishment.

husbands wives from their troubles.
Anne Boleyn spoke her last word to
me. and Catherine Howard did the
same"
There was glitter in the eyes of the
unbdden guest which even without his
words would have stamped him for
aunntic.
The actress at once realized that.
separated from the rest of the house
las she was. should the man become
dangerous she would be without as
sistance.
On the wall there was button to
ring bell. but already the man was
between her and 1t. She was coura-
'geous woman and believed that the
only safety from dethroned intellect
was to master it.

THE WILSON ROAD IDEA.

Authorities on road and street
building from all over the United
States and Canada are in Detroit at
tending the third American Road
Congress Secretary of Agriculture
represents the administration and
President Wilson has sent addresses
which expresses hi view on the sub
ject. Logan Wallace Page, director
of the office of Public Roads, is presi-
dent of the American Highway Asso-
citation and of the American Road
Congress- The congress is the an
nual clearing house of the organized
road movement of America
Important progress is expected TO
be made in three great questions
affecting the road movement. The
congress will endeavor to agree upon
a policy of national aid which, with
the united support of the good roads
workers throughout the country, will
be submitted to the congress of the

PRESS AND PULPIT.

Rev. Clarke r. Parker in his SER
mon at the First Baptist church yes
terday, said that If we had inspectors
for food and human necessities, we
also need inspectors for our daily con-
duct and indicated the power of the
press in this respect.
THE church survives only as
tradition; the real pulpit of today is
the newspaper"
So says a prominent lawyer. But
he is nightly mistaken Had he
said that the power of the church
has become such that it dominates
even the secular newspaper he would
have spoken the exact truth
The newspaper represents the pub
lie thought and feeling and action.
1t is a mirror that reflects mankind
as it is. The world may look in it
and see itself. The bad is there as
well as the good, and more bad than
good, because truth requires it. If
moral sentiment is there it is because
moral sentiment of the public de-
mands It,
The progressive newspaper must
keep pace with public morals, though
it does not create them. 1t must note
and reflect and appeal to mans in
creasing love for man, which other
agencies than itself, however have
promoted.
The public still appeals to those
whose ideal is perfect morality. It
steadily elevates that ideal and cult
Yates enthusiasm and activity in max
ing the ideal applicable in the every
day lives of those who accept it.
This is the leaven in the human loaf
1t is true that the newspaper may
inculcate moral principles with d.
rect relation to religion, just as an
infidel may lead clean life; but il
must be remembered that it is al
ldue to the influences of a religion;

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

Viewing the Gary election battle
from high hill we must say that our
sympathies go out to Tom Knots as
Brother r. o. Johnson has succeeded
in naming all of the election inspec-
tors. An inspector in the words of
the late Davey Johnson is "a guy who
has charge of the ballot boxes"
And no one knows better than the
mayor of Gary that the fellow who
has charge of the ballot box in Gary
can make the best laid plans of cam
paigners come to naught. In the
meantime while Mr.. Knots Is being
embalmed in motion pictures to pc
flashed at the movies during the
campaign, while the ambulances are
busy carrying off the slugged, while
one Gary paper is calling another
blood on the moon" and while the
brewers are coming across it would be
we'll for the principals to remember
that in these days of light, statesmen
get no long term in office and that
which often appears to be a dazzling
honor merely proves to be cider that
turned into vinegar.

to be held under the auspices of the
American Bar association, to the
formation through official action by
the several states, of an interstate
commission TO codify and simplify
existing state road laws. At present,
most of the state are laboring under
a weight of Anticipated and contra
dictory road laws, and it is plain that
the commission will recommend SIM
pie, clearcut and uniform road laws
as substitute for the mass of use
less existing legislation. Main
tenance of roads will be discussed
from every standpoint during the ses-
sions held by the American Highway
association, the parent organization
in the congress, and the engineers
will endeavor to determine among
themselves upon the steps which
should be taken in the several states
to insure adequate maintenance.
