constructive, organizing leadership. The

headed in the right direction, provided he
proves himself qualified to carry them

splendid if every one of the 1000 should

much to hope for. We are in the habit
of delegating power and Gelegating the

 We had about decided that this neck of the woods was becoming too peaceful for one who had lived on the frontier and We, with many others, had begun to east long ing ewes toward Siberia OF some other m- tanned outpost of civilization.
