Champ Clark delivered an address
in Chicago yesterday in which he
said “go south, young man." Hor-
ace Greeley gave good advice in the
New York Tribune fifty years ago
for young men to go west. Many did
so and now that the south has shown
to the world that it holds out more
attractive opportunities to the
young men than any other part ot
the United States, the advice ot the
forthcoming speaker of the house 1*
timely and wholesome. Not only
«doo8 the mild climate and natural
advantages beckon the young man
of energy to cast has lines south-
ward, but Just now while the big
canal is nearing completion does
the south become the natural high-
way over which the commerce of
many states will pkss. The eyes
of the world are centered upon the
work of Panama canal and Its com-
pletion will call for the readjust-
ment of shipping tariffs on rail
and shiphoard._ Naturally,______the,
North American continent will de-
rive the greater benefit, yet the
continent to the south will feel the
impetus of enlarged commerce and
the Interchange of trade should en-
ure to the South American countries
quickly and as they develop and be-
come our customers will the Unit-
ed States and the southern states in
particular bo enriched and increase
their business. If the words of
Champ Clark could be used freely
by southern organisations now using
printers' ink In the north and east
they would have a lasting Impres-
sion and lead to many incursions to
the southland.

Governor Beryl F. Carroll of Iow.v
was born on a farm in Davis county,
Iowa, March 15, 7 860. his parents
having removed to the Hawkeye
state from Ohio in 1853. The fu-
ture governor spent his boyhood on
a farm and received his education
in the schools of his native state, in
1889 he located in the town of
Bloomfield, which place has sine*
been his home. He bas been promi-
nent in republican politics In Iowa
for many years, having served in
the legislature and filled various
other public cfliers. He was elected
to the governorship in 1908 to suc-
ceed Governor Albert B. Cummins
and is now serving his second term
ns chief executive of the state of
Iowa. Governor Carroll was one of

ads
his constant activity tn behalf of
the movement has won for him the
name of the “Good- Roads Gover-

LIFE SAVED AT DEATH'S DOOR.
“I never felt, so near my grave,"
writes W. R. Patterson of Welling-
ton, Tex., as when a frightful couga
and lung trouble pulled mo down to
100 pounds, in spite of doctor’s
treatment for two years. My father,
mother and two sisters died of eon-

capital Punishment This old world 1 , to Dr. Kings New
has run the horrible gamut of legal
murder. It has tried to solve the
gloomy problem variously by the
guillotine, the garrote, the heads-
man's axe, poison, the gallows and
sometimes by methods oven more
repulsive than any of these. Our
more civilized and humane age has
practically rejected all of them, as
belonging to conditions bordering
on barbarism. It is difficult to un-
derstand why Nevada, one of tlfe
great group of intelligent states,
should consider such a law advis-
able. Hanging is certainly the most
brutal of all the modern forms of
capital punishment. 'Besides, experi-
ence has shown that it does not ap-
preciably deter criminals or lesson
capital crimes. Unquestionably, the
least objectionable method of dis-
posing of such offenders is electro-
cution. There is a growing senti-
ment in many communities in favor
of the total abolition of the death
penalty, although it may he many
years before society takes the ad-
vanced view that legal killing Is
after all but poor satisfaction for a
crime and that as a civilized Chris-
tian people, no matter what the
provocation, we should not destroy
that which ,we are lmwerless to cre-
ate or restore, if human life must
bo taken, it should be done legally,
sanely, swiftly and painlessly; but
it is surely a contravention of all
the teachings of our civilization that
the criminal should be allowed to
be his own executioner, as seems to
be contemplated in the crude Ne-
vada statute.- Christian Herald.

upon a wide and sterile slope

bowlders (almost uunotlccablc ki their

“There's your house,” shouted Ross
to Wetherford.
The older man, with white face of
dismay, looked about him, unable to
make reply.
“Hello, there!” shouted Rons, wen
dertng at the absence of human lit
about the camp. “Hello, the house!'’
Receiving no answer to his hail, he
turned to Wetherford. “Looks us ’

too glad to see me, old fellow. I wo>>

alone."
Thereupon he opened the lied (tap.
hut started hack with instant pereeo
tlon of something wrong, for there, on
bis pile of rugged quilts, lay the
Basque herder, with flushed face and
rolling eyes, crazed with fever and e*
tirely helpless. “You'd better not come
in here, Wetherford,” Ross warned.
“Joe is here, horribly sick, ami I'm
nfrnld it’s something contagious. 11
may be smallpox.”
Wetherford recoiled a step. “Small
pot! What makes you think that?”
“Well, these Basques have been iiav
ing it over In their settlement, ami, be
sides, it smells like it.” He listened 11
moment. “I’m afr»kl Joe's in fur K.
He's crazy with it. But he's a. human
being, and we can't let him die here
alone. You rustle some wood for the
stove, nud I’ll see what I cau do for
him."
Wetherford was old nnd wasted and.
thin blooded, but he had never licen a
coward, and In his heart there still
burned a small flame of his youthful,
reckless, generous daring, rushing
Cavaungh one side, he said with firai
decision: “You keep out of there. I'm
the one to play nurse. This is my
Job.”
“Nonsense! I am youuger and
stronger than you.”
“Get away!” shouted the older man.
“Gregg hired me to do tlds work, and
It don’t matter whether I live or die.
But you've got something to do in the;
world. My girl needs you, and she
don't need me, so get out of here and
stay out. Go bring me that wood and
I'll go in and see chat's the matter.''
Cavanagh looked him in the face an
Instant. “Very well,” said he, “I'll do
as you say. There's no use of our
both taking chances.”
It was beginning to rain, and th
lent was dark and desolate, hut as Hie
fire in the little stove commenced to
snarl and the smoke to pour out o.
tile pipe the small domicile tool; 011
cheer. Wetherford knew how to care
for the sick and in the shelter of the
canvas wall developed unforeseen vig
or and decision. It was amazing n
Cavaungh to witness his change <f
manner.
Soon a pan of water waR steaming,
nnd some hot stones were at the su
ferer's feet, and when Wetherford np
peared at the door of the tent Ids face
was almost happy, “Kill a sheep
There isn't a tiling but 11 heel of liu
con and a little flour In the place.''
Twenty miles of most difllcult trail
lay tad ween Cavanugb’s cabin and
this spot. To carry the sick man on
Ills horse would not only be painful to
the sufferer, but dangerous to (lie res-
cuer, for If the B isque were really III
of smallpox contagion would surely
follow. On (he other hand, to leave
him to die here unaided seemed inliu
man. impossible.
“There is only one thing to do,” he
railed to Wetherford, “and that Is for
me to ride back to the station and
bring up some extra bedding and my
own tent and so camp down beside
you.”
“All right, but remember I’ve ostali
llsheil a quarantine. I’ll crack your
head if you break over the line an
Inch.”
There was no longer any feeling of
reaching np or reaching down bet wren
the two men—they were equals. Weth-
prford, altogether admirable, seemed
to have regained bis manhood as he
stood In the door of the tent confront-
ing the ranger. “This Basque ain't
much of a find: hut, as you say. lie's
human, and we can’t let him lie here
and die. I'll stay with him fill you
can find a doctor or till he dies.”
T take off my hat to you.” respond
ed Cavanagh. “You are a man.”
Once back at his cabin after leaving
j Wetherford, .Cavanagh set himself to
cocking some fond to take back with
him to the pc A. He brought lu his
pack horse and burdened him with
camp outfit and utensils and extra
clothing. He filled hie pockets with
soeh medicine* as he i»o*«Ps.ied. and
so at last. Just ns night was falling, he
started back over his dltth ult trail.
Wetherford met hliu at tlve door, no
longer the poor old tramp, twit a |>rlesf.
one who has devoted himself to
Christ's service.
“How is he?” asked the ranger.
••Delirious,” replied the herder. *Tvc

you've come. It's lonesome up Is-re
Don't come too near. Set your tent
down there by the trees. I eau't have

“I’ve got some food and aome extra
clothing for you.”
"But ’em down here, and in the
morning drive thds#*heep away. That
Boise disturbs the ilugo. and I don't
like It myself: they sound lonesome
and helpless. That dog took 'em away
for awhile, but brought 'em heels'
again. Boor devil, he don't know what
to think of tt nil.”
Ross did as Wetherford commanded
down the slope and without putting
np his tent rolled himself in his blun
kets and went to sleep. ,
The ranger's first duty in the morn
ing was to feed the faithful collie anil
to send him forth with the flock. His
next was to build n fire and cook sonic
breakfast for Wetherford, aud ns he
l>ut tt down beside the tent door he
heard the wild pleading of the Basque
who was struggling with his nurse,
doubtless iu the belief that he was
being luqit a prisoner. Only a few
words i|ke “go home” and “sheep"
were intelligible to either the nurse or
tlve ranger.
Cavanagh waited till n silence came,
theu called softfy. "Here’s your break
fast, Wetherford.”
"Move away,” retorted tlve man
within. “Keep your distance.”
Ross walked away a little space,*
and Wetherford came to the door.
“The dago is sure sick. There's no
two ways about that. How fur is ft
to tlie nearest doctor?”
"I could reach one by phone from
the Kettle ranch, about twenty miles
below here.”
"1/ lve don't get better today I reck-
on we’ll have to have u doctor." lie
looked *« white and old that Cava
ivagll said:
"You need rest. Now, I think I'Ve

vucclnated, and if you go to bod"—
"If you're saying ail that preliminary
to offering to come iu here you're
wasting your breath. I ilou't intend
to let you come any nearer Ilian you
are. There is work for you to do. Be-
sides, there's uvy girl. 'You're detailed
to look after her.”
“Would a doctor come?" asked Ross
quite huskily, moved b.v Wetlierford's
words. "It's a hard, climb. Would
they think the dago worth it?"
Wetlierford’s face darkened with a
look of doubt. "It is a hard trip for a
city man, but maybe lie would come
for you for the government.”
"I doubt it, even if 1 were to offer
my next month's salary us a fee.
These hills are very remote to the
townsfolk and one ilugo more or less

can do.”
Ross was really more concerned for
Wetherford himself than for the
Basque. “If the fever is something
malignant we must have medical aid.”
