Very well; let me ask then if it was not as fertile years ago as alas, very much more fertile, and better wooded, and yet you could have bought it then for as many cents as it would cost dollars now. And why Sim ply because of the character, the inefficiency of the average man in the community. Then he was an untrained, ignorant, worthless savage. Now the average man is of a higher order, and value has advanced just in proportion to the efficiency, that is to say, the intelligence, and character of the average citizen. Or without going back years, let us take this same farm today. Suppose you could put acres of it in the middle of Africa tomorrow. Before night it would decrease in value per And why Simply be- cause of a degraded and trained population as compared with ours. Or you might put the same acres the middle of Massachusetts tomorrow, and in- stead of decreasing per Cent.

But, says some one. we must have a certain amount of trained and uneducated labor to shovel dirt and drive mules, and milk cows. I deny it I tell you rather that there is no task under heaven which an gent man cannot do better and cheaper than an unintelligent man. We need no rant labor. Farmers in the South have grown poor hiring the ignorant to take one mule plow an acre of land a day three or four inches deep, but farmers in Iowa have grown rich by paying several times as much to an intelligent white man to take three horses and plow four acres a day six to eight inches deep. We must educate and train all our people. We must increase the efficiency, intelligence, skill and energy of our average man. The man, white or black, whose efficiency is above par is a help, and the man whose is below par is a hind- I do not know what we are going to do with the I do know that we must either frame a scheme of education and training that will keep him from dragging down the whole level of life in the South, that will make him more efficient, a pros- maker and not a poverty- breeder; or else he will get out of the way to the white immigrant.

I hope, and I do not express the hope without coupling with a belief that morally and he has been strong enough to protect himself from this baneful Judgeships used to be positions of dignity, but that characteristic seems to be entirely lost in the present scramble.

During the many years when he was magistrate in his township, he settled many petty cases rather than have them carried to court, with the result that many of dollars were saved the public welfare protected. He was sought for his advice and counsel, and his general in- formation was such in able instances he has saved his people from paying attorney's lies in such simple matters as writing mortgages, deeds, etc. The State is to be congratulated on his appointment to this but many of his friends con- dole with him, for in accepting the place there is no doubt that it is a great personal sacrifice of his own interests.

So when they decided his case and he got knocked in the bead and came to life they would give him the right hand of fellowship and put him to work. And now, Mr. Editor, alter thinking over this thing and that, I am somewhat inclined to think that with the passing in review of so many cf our legal fraternity to the succession of one of the right of the who has lately deceased, I cannot help recalling to my mind the foregoing. It looks to me like a scramble with the dignity left out, as they pass around the inspection department of the gov- One of our judges has died, and to see. the flock of as they go and come from Washington makes me sick on the stomach, to think they little respect for the party, to they claim allegiance. Why, sir, if I were a Democrat I'd cut my throat before I would ask a Republican for an office. And wisely we say, I reckon the president thinks like the two who were journeying in the west and came to a little inland town about sun- down. Well, the night there came one of the most thunder squalls that ever was in the United States.

Why don't they stand on their legal learning and medical at the pop, and demand the respect due their profession by looking dignified and wise, and tell the president if any judgeship lying around loose, that wants its fill of a that is as full of as an egg is of meat, to just call on and say you are a fool, that is man I want for I can tell you now, too many of that kind of folks are Taft the monkey show for many of them to get it. It looks tome like the president has left the matter open so long just to see bow many jackasses there are in North Carolina that wants to be judge. It looks that way to a man up s tree, as he sends down here every once in a while for some of them to go be- fore him to see how nice they can bray.
