A STAKE IN rHE LAND.

THE man who settles on the land
In the right way. Is. with the rarest
exception. likely to become good
American. as are also hts children
Richard T. Ely. Of the University OF
Wisconsin. says in his Introduction
TO, Dr. Peter A. Speeks book. "A
Stake In the Land"
What this right way is. and
what steps have been taken and
still need to be taken. In order to
reach Il is told in clear and colorfuI
manner by Or. Speeks in the NTH
studies to be published by the Harp
ers. Working upon the indisputable
premise that no other tie binds q
man so closely to the country as his
home@the acquisition of piece OF
land no matter how snall--Dr. Speeks
explains how il is comparatively few
Of our Immigrants have been thus
assimilated-
He tells us why 1t is that. even
though these Immigrants when they
reach America. are saturated with
tarm life and experience. so many
drift to the cities to work in mines
and factories and at pick-and-shovei
jobs: why II is that. instead of scat
terine over the country and minglinR
with the native-population, they have
been driven in such droves TO the
congested cities and have formed
their Little Iolahds. Little Italics,
and ghettos, remaining almost unL
touched by American influence"
The great message the author gives
to America is the immigrants need
of protection. direction. and instruo-
ton, as well as material assistance,
in the establishment of a home. In
other words. what DR.. Speeks says
America needs is an effective land
policy and regarding that he writes:
"It is an astonishing, almost unbe-
lievable fact. that while nearly all
Industrial and trade pursuits have
come under some sort of public regu-
lation. licensing, or supervision--even
such minor trades as shoe blackine.
fruit peddiing. and mere popcorn and
peanut seIling--land dealing, one OF
the most basic OF all trades, has been
practically overlooked by our law
makers"
Doctor speeks' criticism is of the
constructive type. for he clearly sets
forth the principles for a practical
land policy, citing concrete cases in
whicN the immigrant has suffered
ehrough the unscrupuiousness and
dishonest methods that flourish in the
absence of such policy and public
land regulation.

Easter Soon Mere

Easter this. year will come earlier
than it has since 1918, when it came
on March %, and it will be earlier than
it will again occur until 1880, when it
comes on March "a. This year it will
come on Sunday, March 9th. Easter
cannot come earlier than March %
nor later than April 25, since it is
reckoned as the first Sunday after the
paschal full moon, which appears on
or after March 2l.
This early Easter will be in line
with the mild winter and early spring
we expect and already clothing stores
and milliners are preparing for the
annual Easter parade. The Easter
bonnet is the first article considered
by many fair ones in the line Of Eas-
ter raiment, since for centuries it has
been featured by cartoonists, joke
sters and once-a-year church goers.
Mere man, of course, does not over
look this opportunity to don the new
headgear, quite "springy" in appear
ance, which he has not dared to wear
before. New suits and other wearing
apparel will be indemand for the day
and if the weather man deals out a
warm and sunny day it will be a fit
occasion to usher in the springtime
season.

A prominent business man of one of

TO the editor on business matter,
adds the following postscript to his
letter:
"Say Will, this Non Partisan outfit
is no joke to us that have to pay taxes;
they are nothing short of highway
robbers, but their days are numbered,
like Belshazar's, and they are also
found wanting, they have had rope
enough and they are going to hang
themselves. There will be a Recall
election in June and we will put men
in their place that know how to run
state government Were not
reared a Christian, would say some

certainly squandered our money and
almost bankrupted our state. You
