QUOTATIONS. GREATEST WORK.

The true mission of education in
firing the souls of men with higher
ideals, with an ambition to possess
the land, to be home owners, to be
the equal of their fellows, to be self
sustaining, independent, sovereign
citizens, is ably told by Col. r. T.
Miner in an editorial in the Rnsk
County News under the caption "The
Landless Man and the Wantless
Man"
THE land question is going to be
the paramount issue in this country
in the near future, and we just as well
get ready for drastic legislation on
that subject. Old ideas about land
ownership will be relegated and ways
will be discovered by which large
bodies held for speculation will be
available for the landless man. In
this section however, large undivided
tracts Of land are rare, and every per-
son who desires home can get It by
working for II. We can cite instance
after instance where persons have
paid for homes whose beginnings
were nothing but muscle, energy and
frugality. 1t requires that to succeed
in any line Of business. The man who
expects to possess property must
have vim, determination and the men.
tai power to economic. The man
without home must first possess a
burning desire to own one before he
can hope to succeed. II is a most la.
mentable fact that some renters never
aspire TO become home owners. The
burning desire Is absent. The toll,
self-denial and economical plans es.
sential to successful farming are not
taken seriously into consideration and
followed up from year to year. Hence
shiftless. spendthrift, sloven habits
are formed, ambition and pride are
wanting and a miserable existence
becomes the order OF life. Children
are reared under this condition, grow
TO manhood and womanhood as ten.
ants. and thus increase the great
army OF landless and homeless people.
Such a state Is terrible and the only
cure for II Is education. Education OF
the right kind stimulates pride and
ambition. II creates wants, and
where wants exist energy springs I'D
to crafty the wants and a spirit OF
progress is born. and dissatisfaction
with old things and sloven ways as.
serts itself and a new life is born into
the world. Education. mental devel.
opment. hath a quickening effect and
inspires the best there Is In man.
There Is no progress either spiritual
or material without education. With
lana IN sight for every man on rea.
sopable terms, the man without
wants Will not go forward to possess
IT, A soil teemIng with fertility. with
beautiful streams running through II.
with natures lavish hand everywhere.
comfortable homes easy to reach. and
an independent state doth not appeal
to the wantless man."

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Dec. 5.-Much lower
cables than expected caused SYM
pathetic decline in the price of cotton
around the opening of this market to-
day. Selling was heavy and the trad
ing months fell off 10 to 80 points
under it. Fresh buying came in on
the decline and scalping shorts took
profits with the result that prices
were to 18 points up from the low
est at. the end of the first hour of
business.
Reports of more liberal offerings
of spots increased offerings decidedly
and late in the morning the trading
months were at a net decline of "a to
Al points.
Large interests were reported to be
heavy buyers after the noon hour and
this stimulated the general demand.
The market reacted from the decline
and at 1:30 stood at net loss of II

points followed on rumors that pri-

Liverpool was unsettled by political
conditions and attributed the decline
to liquidation in a narrow market.
Houses with Liverpool connections
became still heavier sellers today to-

appearance of this pressure brought
out renewed liquidation and local sell
