In Its broadeSt statement the prob
lem of the worlds economy Is to de-
velop and give scope of individual orig
inality, the benefits of whose exercise
are registered in individual character
as well as in objective results. The
English economist, Marshall. however,
declares that one-half of the power of
human initiative is suppressed by the
present social order, and it Is not diff
cult to accept the statement. The hap
py instances where individuals manipu-
late circumstances so as to bring out
striking results are rendered the more
conspicuous by the number Of other in
dividuals who entirely fail not only of
such achievement but of anything com
parable thereto. And yet IT. Is known
that these others grade only somewhat
below the first in capacity. or all the
stupendous waste exhibited In the
physical and moral world this is per-
haps the most tragic in character and
consequences. Yet it Is enacted unob-
truslvely and with little dramatic eff.
feet. 1t Is typified by the circum-
scribed career Of the working class boy
who, at IA years. passes from the infiu-
ence of the graded" system of educa-
ton to tend machine" for ten hours a
day. The lot Of the few who enjoy
more elastic and extended educational
opportunities and more adequate field
of action thereafter is more in the pub
lie eye Theirs however, Is not the lot
of 1.-The great majority" Among the
latter there Is no inconsiderable pro-
portion whose power of Individual ini-
tiative Is but meagerly developed mad
whose potential contribution to the
worlds enterprise is never realized.
There can be no doubt that the domi-
nant aim of the century which has just
closed has been commercial rather than
humamstic. 1t has been the century
of wealth making. 1t has launched an
entire series Of worlds fairs. 1t has
established free public schools and
abolished slavery, both of which acts
mean accelerated material develop
ment. 1t has built great cities with
their lack of art 1t has gone haltingly
forward with It's newly demanded fac
tory laws. 1t has neglected persons as
conscious objects. 1t has trusted for
salvation to the instinct of gain. 1t has
perhaps with some twinges of con
science assured all men that the cur
rent waste of flesh and brain was in
evitable and that there could be no bet
ter way. The problem of this century
Is to work out that higher economy in
which there shall not only be still
better directed effort to effect material
saving but in which the emphasis shall
be shifted from the material product to
the human agent-in which social ad-
vance rather than the instinct of profit
making or even Of vast organization
shall more effectually dictate action.
This does not mean the retardlng OF
material progress. Quite the contrary.
The better the man the better his prod
uct. And century whose conscious
effort shall he to make all existing prog
ress converge upon the development of
its people and upon insuring scope to
their capacities will realize a peculiar
quality anu profuslon Of productive ex.
preston.

PERENNIAL DEMAND FOR FARM LABOR.

The tendency of our rural population to abandon
the farms and seek employment and residence in
the cities and larger towns, has been marked for
some few years past that the question of farm labor
has become extremely important in nearly ali
sections of the country
The recent demand reported from Kansas for
$4,000 young TO work in the harvest fields of
that State at 81 per day is only effort
in time anticipated difficulty that has embarrassed
the big wheat States often in the past 1t has been the
same trouble that the cotton planters Of Texas have
often experienced and that even the general farm
in the middle and Eastern States have to contend
against annually.
This migratory movement to the cities is not only
retarding the general volume of production, but. by
creating an active demand for farm labor is adding
notably to the cost of production to an appreciabe
loss TO the farmers.
In the meantime. thousands of the young men who
have left the farms making but poor Roadway in
the cities. at best. The majority of them are really
earning less, net, and performing exacting
vice than on the farm. Numbers of Them it is true
have bettered their condition in financial way and
possibly see more and enjoy Of life but this

The farm life in this country is the freest and most
independent that be found its attractions and OPP
porunites not sufficiently set before the rising
generation. Tens of thousands of youths who are now
