Why Land Sales Sometimes Drag

The prospective purchaser of a
farm often avoids a certain dis
trict simply for the fact that the
churches, schools or roads are
such that he is unwilling to sub
ject his family TO the living con.
ditions prevailing, and the fact is

Some of those fellows at Wash

see this law perpetuated than

have given us this extra early

from using it.

My dear George: You are King of Eng
land, regularly constituted. AS far as ]
know you enjoy the esteem of your fellow
countrymen and there is no disposition to
remove you from your position.
AS kings go you seem to be a success
You do not have much to do with the gov
eminent of the country. which is being
admirably managed by duly chosen rep
resentative Of the people. You confine
yourself principally to performing the social
duties that pertain to the king business.
England. as Gladstone said, is a carefully
arranged system Of caste. You represent
the top layer and you do it very we'll
There is just one matter that ] would
like TO call TO your attention. IL is a small
thing. but il seems 10 me you would do
well TO attend to il.
| noticed in your last address from the
throne. which was doubtless prepared for
you by the proper secretaries and submit
ted To you for your signature, you used
the customary phraseology of throne
speeches and spoke of my people" my
armies" and so on.
| know how difficult it is for an Eng
lishman to break with tradition. If he
and his forefathers have been doing
thing for n thousand years or so it seems
like sacrilege for him TO change. And
this has its advantages. II tends TO keep
the institutions of the country from wab-
bling. and then it is quite picturesque.
But do you not think that the. time has
come to change your pronouns and refer
TO "our country" and "our armies instead
of my?
They are not yours. you know. You are
theirs. And If they got tired of you and
your family they would set you aside. altho
il would pain them to do so. for they have
become attached to you just as one be-
comes attached TO an antnque sideboard or
an old four-poster bed that has come down
to him from his Observation-Disclosures.

CLODHOPPER WRITES

Editor The Star; I deny both the Propositions ad
vanced by certain writer In The Star. that country
boys physically superior TO city boys and the latter
mentally superior to country boys.
Take the standard of intelligence from the country
boys side and the city boy becomes far less intell
gent Test both standards and you may arrive at
Just conclusion. a country boys intelligence should
not be measured alone by his knowledge of the arts
and sciences. mathematics, geography. history, liter
allure. etc but should include his knowledge OF soils
crops stocks and all things appertainng to farm life
In these the city boy would naturally be inferior 20
the country boy the latter might not rank with
the city boy in the first test.
The tests, applied to army recruits, would not
have placed Edison even with the average. i'm his
boybood days. yet the germs of almost superhuman
accomplishment already In him Yours for Just
conclusions In all such comparisons.

The Legislature-Good Night!

Thus writes the Olympia correspondent

his opinion.
The legislative session comes to end-without re-
grets the part of the general public. II not a
session that devoted much time to public interests.
II missed the spirit of the times.
With great world just ended, il failed to recog
nize the necessity for construcveness Ii killed time and
good II did practically nothing for the soldiers
the civilians. 1t played politics all the time.
Few bills passed that were untainted with special
private greed and political pull.
This is mighty strong indictment
But The Star is fully capable of sustaining the charge
Even the legislators Who early in the session. were
gulbe enough to swallow the political taffy pedded by
organization leaders. disgusted OF it's

But it is encouraging nevertheless that so members of

the process. The business OF prying kings
loose from their jobs has frequently been
attended with more or less violence.
Not that / think there is any danger of
upsetting the throne of England, for the
English people, from dukes TO costermon-
gers, are all proud of it.
However, you never can tell. These are
perilous times and the climate Of the goth
century has been most unhealthy for
royalty. / would suggest, therefore, that
it behooves all kings who wish to retain
their names on the pay roll, to walk softly
before the Lord, and TO speak to the people
in terms not likely TO give offense.
England boasts of being democracy and
she is one altho there is deal of outgrown
lumber which she still retains in the attic.
Monarchies, if they wish TO continue as
ornaments, must realize that they are mere
ly ornaments. AS such the people may
be pleased to retain them. But it is well to
avoid any suspicion that they have real
power otherwise the population may grow
FESTIVE.
Speaking, therefore, as friend and well
wisher, / would suggest that the next adj
dress from the throne be couched in a little
more democratic language, so that the peo-
pie may be constantly reminded that al
tho you are the king, yet you do not mean
anything by it, and that as the chief SER
want of the British people you strive to
please.
Your relatives, William and Nicholas,
were little too free with their pronouns
in the first person and singular number,
and while there does not seem to be any
danger that you will follow in their unfor-
tunate footsteps, yet it would be good
thing to avoid as far as possible any Of
their little ways.
Again assuring you of my most dis
tinguished consideration and wishing you
and all the Gentlemen of the Bed Chamber
and the Grand Masters of Ceremony well.
/ beg to remain,
Yours truly,
