BREAKING THE CHAINS.
After pulling up stakes and disappearing for two weeks, a Terre Haute man reports from San Francisco. He returns home and says that he was seixed with an impulse to go somewhere all of a sudden, and he did. While his excursion may hav confused the folks, there is a psychological reflection in his act that deserves study. About this time of year when there is a sniff of fresh soil in the air and growing things shame walls of brick and mortar, there comes o'er mortal ••sh a yearning to plunge into the open and bid such shackles as bind to work and duty and routine a gleeful goodbye. It is the same intuition that releases the mind from dry journals and time clocks and turns it towards brooks and bait. The prodigal may have alarmed the neighbors, but think of the fun he had.
"HAPPYLAND."
.#ikV v#1.' Governor Ralston's facetious refer*.f" ^nce to the United States as "Happyland," as considered in contrast to the unfortunate nations of Europe, has, on ond thought, a deep significance, le other day the nation observed the tieth anniversary of the death of braham Lincoln. The anni/versary und a Virginian in the white house and an ex-confederate soldier from lipuisiana sitting as chief justice of the supreme court No voice of sectionalism is anywhere raised to question the honor, integrity, and service of these men. Could anything have seemed more incredible to the grief and bitter4*^ ni?ss of fifty years ago? Could anything more vividly prove the unity of our nation? Lincoln may not have been "the typical American," but he did live out certain qualities of Justice and fair dealing which his countrymen haive always responded to in the long run. "Gentle, plain, just, and resolute,"

"'"Win-, u'
in Walt Whitman's immortal words, his spirit Is not dead in the land he loved. And the lesson of his life is plain for every people that cares to learn. The oppressed and wrangling races of Austria, the hating cutthroats of the Balkans, the tyrants and victims of Europe all the way from Helsingfors to the Golden Horn can have peace whenever they will let other men lead their own lives in honor and in freedom under the law. Despite anything we may say in haste, In partisanship or'in despair, that, and nothing else, is the American plan, and by it our country will endure.
BRIDGING THE STREAM.
President Wilson, in addressing the Associated Press men yesterday, paid a tribute to the newspaper as an influence in American life, and si that he depended on them to do their full share in his effort to set the wheels of commerce, going. He commented on the fortunes that halve been made by advertising. Fortunes have been made by advertising, yet how seldom are publications given credit for their achievements. It is refreshing, now and then, to hear a frank acknowledgment of the wonderful power of advertising- Several of these testimonials have unexpectedly been given of late. They deserve mention. At the annual meeting of the Corn Products Refining company, a message from President E. T. Bedford was read in which, while excusing his absence because of the necessity of attending the hearing of the government's suit against the company, he said that the government's witnesses had testified that where the Corn Products company had a greater percentage of the business, it was due largely to liberal advertising. The Wall Street Journal says that the late N. W. Halsey, the well-known New York banker, shortly before his death, said to one of his associates: "I never could have built up this business to the point I have, in the time I have, unless I had advertised regularly from the start." Recently, President C. M. Woolley, of the American Radiator company, paid a tribute to advertising publicity as one of the principal factors in the steady growth of his company's business. The successful business men are those who advertise most freely during periods of depression and who thus obtain the business that drops away from the non-advertiser. This is the kind of business, too, that "sticks."
GREEN FIELDS FAR AWAY.
A Tribune reader in Effingham asks the question, how many homesteaders retain their claims, and what is the process of registration? There is hardly any data at hand that would answer the first question. To the latter, a partial answer is found in the recent action of Secretary of the Interior Lane opening to entry, under what is known as the enlarged homestead act, areas of land in Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Utah and other states. Nearly 100,000 acres in eastern and central Montana, for instance, were made subject to entry. A man can go there and "stake off a claim," just as in the old days. He can obtain 360 acres and after living on it three years can establish a title to it. But the thing is not as easy as it looks on paper.
The homstead act was designed to give hardworking men homes. It was worded in such a way that it would be of no benefit to lazy men. When a man takes Up 360 acres, he must cultivate one-sixteenth of it, or else, after his three years probation is over, he is unable to perfect his title.
But even though a man he willing to work hard and long, how is he going to go aboui getting the land? This, probably, Is the hardest part. One of the bureaus of the department of the in-

*.
terior Is known as the general land office. This office says frankly that It furnishes no more definite information as to the .location or character of the vacant land than is found in a simple table, stating how much land Is available in the different counties of the various states, with a few words designating the general character of the land, such as "broken grazing," "prairie grazing," "good for farming," "semimountainous with fertile valleys," "timber," etc.
Persons who desire to make homestead entry should first decide where they wish to locate, then go or write to the local land office of the district in which the lands are situated, and obtain from the records diagrams of vacant lands. This advice is given by the general land office in Washington, which has general charge of such matters.
Everything considered, cost, markets and living advantages, farm land here in the Wabash (valley very likely is more desirable than untried experiments in the new lands.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Closed Town.
Editor Tribune—The. oft talked of closing of the town haa come, and Acting Mayor James Gossom has started the ball rolling. He ia quoted as saying he has taken a firm stand and will not make any modification. In a trip over the city Sunday afternoon hundreds of men were seen strolling through the city parks with their families for the first time in years, enjoying the fresh air with a visible air of satisfaction and, no doubt, many a Terre Haute home was blessed with greater joy and real napplness than had been known in many years—perhaps never before.
Acting Mayor Gossom and the board of safety should be assisted in this great movement hy every citizen who believes in good government: it m?ans a now life to this city it means less poverty in our midst, it means less crime and misery, and greater happiness and peace among our citizens.
In this movement one can see a great future for Terre Haute, for if continued the once fair name of our city will soon be redeemed and the great possibilities of our progressive and well meaning citizens will be realized.
But our mayor can noc succeed without the co-operation of our citizens. Will the citizens give him their hearty support? And if not, why not? This is no small undertaking, for he will be opposed by powerful interests. Numertms times such a movement has been launched anfl each time we have, heretofore, seen this reform movement fail—all becauscf' lacking the proper support of our Citizens. But the new mayor' 13 a thoroughbred' K^htucki&n, and, having ha!d occasion to observe his actions on (numerous occasions, I
