and other negative answers swept
through his mind and he shivered at
the thought that class hatred and not
patriotic appeals are being used to
accomplish those results.
Then came the affirmative answer.
In that memory-shadow picture moved
the long line of troops from sixty-one
to sixty-five. Men who gave their
lives that representative government
might still live and that the minority
should be protected from the sudden
impulse of the majority. At the head
of tile line was he who ranked equal
with the man sleeping under yonder
pines at Mount Vernon. Following
that shadow-memory picture came the
boys wac passed down that avenue
on their way to give Cuba the same
representative government we enjoy.
In that line were men the writer
knows; men who now sleep under the
sod softened by Cuba's dews; men
who went from the rank and file as
our men have always gone, to trade
their blood for the establishment of
government principles which mean,

ernment shall yet remain on this
earth.
The affirmative picture completely
obliterated the negative. The hue and
cry of the critics OF our government
we're but the clang Of the street cars
going on F street. The solidarity Of
our republic and the final triumph OF
the principles established at its begin
ming was as the peaceful rest Of our

to the point that the entire structure

From those two moving lines OF
shadow-memory pictures the mind OF
the writer stretched forth over the IA

Have We Kept the Faitha
By Alva Swain

Some weeks ago the writer of this
article WIS in Washington. His visits
to that city have Tot been so frequent
as to wear away the feeling of sacred
p ness that comes when he is traversing
those streets. One night he had been
over to Congress hall spending the
evening with congressman keatlng
and Taylor. 1t was near midnight as
he left their hotel He went to the
depot to get time card of trains and
started back to the Raleigh about
12:45 a. IN. Noticing the beauty OF
the night, he strolled to the capitol.
He entered the grounds from the side
near the station and walked entirely
around. the building until he came di-
rectly in front of Pennsylvania ave
nue.
There he stopped and drank to the
fullest extent of the beauties of the
night. but .dearer still of the memo
ries that clung around the scene. A
few hours. ago he had sat with sena-
tor Thomas and heard that man ex-
press loneliness because Of the alb
sence of his grandchildren and be
cause he wanted to see the mountains
of the West There was similar
loneliness in the heart of the writer
as he stood under that great dome
that night, but it was not because he
wanted to see the scenes mentioned
by Senator Thomas. His loneliness
was because he wanted to see in real
ity the scenes that were but memo
ries that had been enacted around the
spot upon which he was then stand
ing.
In front of him were beautiful
grounds A little further on was the
foot of the avenue with its broad run
way to the White house in the dis
tance Under the white clouds that
hung low stood the great purity pill
lar erected to the memory of Him who
made it all possible. In the distance
was the outline of the Potomac and
the Virginia hills-God's background
to the majestic setting.
Standing there with that great pic
ture in front OF him, while in the
memory-shadow moved the mighty
procession of men who have left the
fundamental principles of our govern
ment as their work of life, the writer
could not help but cry out, Have we
kept the faith?"
For moment the answer was in
assaults that are being made upon the
very fundamental principles of our
government-the attempts that are
being exerted to sweep us from rep
resentative to a mass governed peo-
pie. He saw the hypocritical claim
that judicial decisions should b re-
called SO that majority may take
away that which the minority has,
thus denying to the minority the very
protection for which our forefathers

There has been considerable en-
quiry about the enlarged homestead
Of $40 acres as proposed in ii. X.
582, the FERGUSON measure, and the
following is given in answer:
The bill is designated rs ii. X.
1852, which has for its purpose the
granting of homestead Of GAO acres
of arid land to each person qualified
to make a homestead. This meas
ure has for long time been before
the committee on public lands in the
House of Representatives. Early in
March of this year a public hearing
was begun before the public lands
committee.
II. II. lO539, another bill emana-
ting in the House, has for its object
the leasing of the arid public domain
to stockmen in large areas, ranging
from 10000 to $4,000 acres. and
larger tracts to one individual or
corporation. These corporations are
represented by counsel or by iadivi-
dual or corporation. These corpora
tons are represented by counsel or
by individual members. They are
able and willing TO expend whatever
time and money is required to attend
the hearings Of this committee, and
their testimony usually catches the
ear of the members of the public
lands committee residing in states
east of the Mississippi river.
Those persons who contemplate
making homestead of $40 acres, as
provided by II. r. 95S2, or who have
heretofore filed on a homestead of
800 acres, cannot visit Washington
and testify for the reason that their
means will not permit them TO do so
neither can they spare the time. For
This reason, Mr.. FERGUSON is placed
At great disadvantage; he must
