Progress Of t. - Sortb

ss>S
Seven staple er@ ,ps, common to the
whole country yielded in 1s1o:in the
South s. sS74 ,sea,44s, says the Manu-
1acturers Record in a recent issue.
IL. ! ne .Ame crops, corn, wheat, tobac-
- ~ nay, oats, Irish potatoes and rye
s~aelded in 1900 IN the South s427,-
$4,000. In the first decade OF the
century their: value has Increased at
the rate OF 1913 per cent in the
South, and at the rate Of S5.3 per
cent in the rest Of the country.
These seven crops. with rice and
products Of the sugar cane. have an
aggregate value OF quite s925,000,-
600, which suggests that cotton, ap-
preaching with its seed value this
year OF s1,o00,00o,0o0 is by no
means the only great crop of the
South. Thus, the South is, by the
very results 1t is accomplishing, Civ
ing itself the widest and the most
effective sort of advertisement Of its
opportunities for he thrifty home
builder in agriculture.
In every one OF the seven crops,
save tobacco, there was an increase
in value in the South in 1910 over
1909, and in every one there was an
increase in quantity. The aggregate
increase was from sS21,726,0O0 to
sS74,302,O00, or by s52,576, 900,
equal to Ga per cent, while in the
rest of the country there was a de-
crease Of 9 per cent from $2,984,-
$4,000 to s2,706,S7S,0oO, or by
l$277,856,000. Great Is the Southern
farmer, and great is the wealth he
Is adding to his section.
Between 1900 and 1910 the value
OF these crops In the rest of the
country increased from s1,460, $685.
900 to s2.706,S7s,0OO, or by s1,246,-
373.0e0 equal to 1873 per cent, and
In the South from s427,444,O0O to
ss74.3o2,oo0, or by s446.s5s,0oO,
equal to 104.5 per cent. The great
increase came in corn, from s234,-
64S,o0o to s5S7,s57.OO0, or by $685.
O09,000, equal to 1904 per cent,
though Irish potatoes more than
doubling in value have approached
the value Of the sweet potato crop
in which the South Is a leader and
there have been quite satisfactory in
creases In wheat and hay.

What We Need Most.

In these days when people talk
loudly Of warlike preparations and
the need of spending many millions
Of dollars for new battle ships and
Notifications 1t may be we'll to keep
In mind that vast sums are spent by
the nation and the states for pro-
jects that make for peace and for
the prosperity and progress of the
people. We hear a greet deal Of
talk about guns and ships, but little
heed Is paid, except by those directly
interested, to the great irrigation
works that convert llfeless deserts
into fertile tracts Were thousands
OF families make their happy homes.
Much is said about large increase
In the army, but too many overlook
the agricultural courses of study and
farmers institutes that benefit d.
rectly the Immense and ever increas-
ing army Of farmers, and Indirectly
the whole country. The army is
large enough for all purposes, and
should not be enlarged. We believe
it is well enough to maintain good
navy, but we need not 90 crazy about
that as some OF the European coun-
tries are doing, which means to them
inevitable bankruptcy and decadence.
No nation on the face of the earth
can successfully invade this country,
and no nation ID foolish enough to
/ try 1t. What We need more than
soldiers is internal improvements.
All Of our rivers should be made
navigable, 30 as they can be used
to get the product OF the farm to
the markets cheaply. Good roads
should be encouraged and assisted by
the national government. We need
these things: more than we do more
soldiers and big guns: When the
wars; come We will take care Of them.

and by charging the pubic extortion-
ate prices for gasoline, oil and other
standard commodities. The old man
may think that these millions he Is
giving away will help him when he
is called on to face the Great and
Just Judge. We are not to say
whether. they will or will not, but the
great and saving principle OF resti-
tuition is lacking in all these gifts
of Rockefeller as well as Carnegie.

Changing Conditions and Methods

Changing Conditions and Methods.
Recent events have given added
momentum to the movement for di-
erations. This fact reflects no dis
tors. This reminds US how In many
ways the ideas Of the trainers OF
the national constitution have been
modified or abandoned by after gen
erations. This fact reuects 70 dis
credit upon the statesmen :of early
days whose patriotism, breadth of
view, and loftiness of aim remain
unquestioned. But necessarily their
plans were largely experimental for
there was lack Of national expert
ence to guide them.
The century ard more that has
passed since the constitution was
settled has been full of experience
and it has naturally led to changes
in both form and substance. This
is seen particularly in The radical
change made In the election, of pres
ident, which is; now in fact though
not in form the direct action of the
people instead of the electoral col
lege.
If direct election of senators takes
the place Of the present system,
which now seems pro bable, it will be
because of the conviction, due to
changed conditions, that all repre-
sentatiyes of the people should be in
more direct touch with and more d.
rectly responsible to the electorate
than the trainers Of the constitution
though expedient.
The elecion Of senator's by the peo-
pie has been SO persistently insisted
on by MIR. Bryan and other prominent
Democrats, that even Mr.. Taft in the
last presidential election was forced
to admit that he favored 1t. II it
was the law now, many OF the trust
senators In the senate at this time
would not be there.

Moro THAI Offset

Probably the many largo gfts be-
etowed upon tho Chicago University
and other similar Institutions by J.
D. Rockefeller are regarded as o
great benefit to the cause Of higher
education. and doubtless they are.
Nevertheless ths educational benefit
is more than Offset IN the public mind
by the deep seated conviction that
very much OF Mr.. Roekefeller's i'm
mense fortune has been gained by
legally questionable and morally
wrong business methods; by the un-
