The Greatest Event.

1t is worth while living in this parti-
cular period Of human progress. 1t
is more stirring time than making
has ever experienced before. The
greatest change of all the ages is
taking place now. A social organism
has been born and will coon attain
majority. .....
Through wars between nations and
classes the world has moved for cen
turtles until it has reached a point
where wars as they have been known
can settle nothing more. A new kind
of war is being fought and for new
purpose. ...
Instead of the clash of arms we have
the conflict of reason against preju-
dies and ignorance. Instead of death
on the battlefield we have life as q
sacrifice to work for the new order.
The halo of the soldier is gone and
the new halo is for the patent, untiring
worker for humanity.
We are entering into the last war.
It is q war between classes but it 10 for
the triumph of that class which must
conquer and then forgive. Victory
can only come through including ALL
in its benefits.
Every hour there are happenings
that will illuminate history more
brightly than the stories of Valley
Forge, croossing the Delaware and the
hundreds of other tales of sacrifice of
the past
1t is privilege to be part of the
great army that is intelligently and
unsel6shly engaged in this great
struggle for the elimination OF
humanity's hopes recognition OF
the fact that man has conquered the
elements and the adjustment of the
social order to the fact, 50 that man.

This country needs many things, but
it needs nothing more than az
awakened, intelligent, vigilant and

The New York World put the situa.
zion forcibly the other day.
"The judge must be exceedingly dull
who does not realize growing impa-
thence with the court, remarks the
Saturday Evening Post
"The congressman must be exceed
ingly dull who does not realize a
growing impatience with congress.
''The governor must be exceedingly

Impotence with legislatures.
1.-THE editor must be exceedingly
dull who does not realize q growing

''The great American public is i'm
patient with every body except its
SNUG, complacent self. We agree
with Ea. Howe that the public is codd-
led too much. Somebody or another
is forever telling it about it's hard
ships and its wrongs, but nobody
ever tells it about its own stupidity
and Indifference and neglect and pas
sion and prejudice and folly, which
are responsible for much of its trouble.
Just at present the puplic has seized
upon the courts as one source of its
political woes. A year or two later it
will have found another victim. The
public is ready to blame everybody
except itself.''
That's sharp lecture, but it vas
needed.
In the growing realization of social
responsibility for social ills, the i'm
orovement of individual responsibility
or public evils must not be over.

An Interesting Article on Dry
Farming.

Elsewhere the readers will find a
very interesting article about the
North Platte Valley and the irrigation
work written by our former townsman,
Max Pfaender. He dwells mostly on
scientific dry farming, which he thinks
would be of great benefit to farmers in
Minnesota. The idea of dry farming
IS to conserve all the rain fall so that
it can be used by the plant when it
needs it. In a private letter to the
Review, Mr.. Pfaender states that he
will spend this winter in Washington
D. =. He expects to be in New Ulm
some time next March.

Newspapers as Public Servants.

Il has become the fashion Of late q
speak lightly Of Newspaper, to belittle
newspaper statements and to put news
paper influence at low rate. II
part, CT course, this fashion is justt'
fed; but it is justified by the conduct
of some newspapers, and therefore !,
is unjust to make all newspapers
subjects to it.
Many Of the newspapers sins which
have helped bring newspapers into

the same reason. You can fool some
of the people all of the time and all OF
the people some of the time; but you.
can't fool all Of the people all of the

of newspapers, which never were truly

There is small chance, in these days
of enlightened public spirit, for q

Don't Blame the Cow.


stroyed. 1t was not because Gov
kicked over q lamp. A COW has {
right to kick over lamp if the flies
annoy her. A COW has no opportunit,
to study city building and foresee the
danger of conasgrstion spreading,
A COW must be excused for ignorance,
But human beings erected the
buildings. Human beings do have
opportunities to study city building
and note the danger of CONGREGATIONS
where houses are built close together.
The Chicago fire of forty years ago
must be charged up to human beings,
not to COWS, and human beings can
explain the conhagration only by
pointing to capitalism.
No man would build his house SO
close to his neighbors as to shut out
the light and air and make the
spreading of fire possible unless there
was some overpowering reason. That
reason is capitalism.
Capitalism demands congestion.
1t creates one central money pile
which men must reach in order to live.
The more they crowd around the
money pile the higher it grows and
the more powerful its attractions.
g. The people who we're burned in the
FIRE of 1871 we're like the moths that fly
into the flame. They could not resist
the attraction. w
Men built their homes near the
money pile so as to be ready to snatch
a coin now and then from the fringe.
They crowd and jostle and forget to
breathe. They shut out the air from
where they stand and they are too
busy to 90 where it can be had. They
are caught and they cannot escape.
So when the fire comes it finds
material and spreads. Such preven-
tatives as the crowd around the money
pile can employ, hold it in check, as
the rule, but some day the preventa-
tives are not enough and the devasta-
ton follows.
Capitalism is often called insanity,
because there are some things which
it cannot guard. 1t cannot guard
against catastrophe by fire and flood.
Capitalism has no power oyer itself.
It does not look to Its own defects.
It cannot, because it is a blind force
that drives the moths in to the flame
and holds men around the money pile
until the fire demon ticks up their
homes.
For fire preventative we can look
only to Socialism, sane system be-
cause it permits of thought. 1t is not
blind force, but an intelligent one,
that robs economic forces of their
power over men and makes them
subject to humanity's needs.
1t will abolish congestion by re-
moving the cause of it. It will enable
men to live away from the money pile,
where there is air and sunlight, out Of
the paths of fire aad flood. This is
the real lesson of the Chicago Fire
Anniversary, says the Daily Socialist.

Mexico's Needs.

A drastic reform in the franchise and
radical change in filing important state
offices are necessary to satisfy the de-
mands of the revoutionists in Mexico.
Under the present system Diaz possesses
almost as much power as an absolute
monarch. The ballot is denied to large
proportion of the population, and the
president appoints the governors of states
and many other important officials in
the various political divisions of the
country. This permits practically an
autocratic rule, which he has not failed
to utilize.
1t cannot be gainsaid that under the
states nanship of Diaz the Mexican re-
public has been brought from chaos into
fairly well regulated and governed
country. But methods and conditions
that were necessary and excusabie when
he assumed Office are obsolete to day.
The country has vastly progressed in
wealth and intelligence. Its people de-
mand and are entitled to much greater
degree of freedom and a larger voice in
the affairs of government. The exam
piles of Cuba, Porto Rico, Panama, Santo
Domingo, Venezuela and even Columbia
are stirring the Mexican populace to an
insistent demand for a broader field of
liberty, freer speach and more stable
laws.

The Fish Laws of the State Inter-
preted by Commissions Attorney

The professional fishermen can
catch salt water fish to sell dur
ing the closed season which be-
gins to-day. The law only pro-
hibits the use of a seine. The de-
cision makes it clear that while
April, May and June will be a
closed season for fresh and salt
water fish, there will be nothing
to prevent fishermen making
their catches of salt water fish
with lines. In fact, the attorney
states, there is no close season
against fishing with rod, hook
and line, or with a hand line, for
any fish, or in any waters of this
state, but the law especially pro-
hibits the catch and sale during
a certain period of green trout or
fresh water game fish.
What the law does prohibit,
says Mr.. Ponder, is the seining
while the spawn is on the ground,
because the dragging of the seine
destroys millions of eggs.''

$500 worth of things in the whole

we have a rug which is worth

Agriculture in the Public Schools

For nearly decade the question OF
teaching agriculture in the common
schools of Louisiana has been agitated
more or less vigorously and yet today
a very small per cent indeed of the chill
dren OF the State are receiving instruc-
ton in this fundamentally important
branch of knowledge. We have talked
OF the Importance of teaching agricul-
ture: we have all agreed that it can be
used in the educative process quite as
successfully as other subjects and we
have made efforts through the organized
educational agencies of the State to equip
teachers for this important work. Yet
today we are following the old rut. pur-
suing the even tenor Of our way, teach
ing ancient history and foreign geogra-
ply. bank discount, and syntax but
largely ignoring agriculture. What
boots it that the child should know>the
story of Vaseo de CANA OF who the
generals were in the French and Indian
wars. what Cortez did or when the bat
tie of Tours was fought? Why must we
teach him the geography of China and
HindustaD, of Liberia and of Afghanis-
tan, teach him the height of mountain
peaks and the depths of oceans, of bays
and CULTS and seas and rivers and capes
and promontories and Russian fords
Why must the child's mind be stored
with knowledge of that sort and left
ignorant of such as the following what
foods plant need, what foods are lacking
in our soils, how to build up the fertility
of our land, what asbalanced ration is,
what foods growing ami mails require,
what the best breeds OF animals are,
what plant roots and leaves do, how
moisture is wasted from the soil. how to
select seed, how to contend with insect
how to bake bread and cook
meat, how to can vegetables and pre-
serve fruits, how to sew. and how to
adorn the home.
The writer realizes that the geography
Of Asia and the history of Greece and
Rome have their place in certain fields
Of education, but he maintains that such
knowledge is of every minor Importance
to the 95 children out Of every 100
whose lot in life it will be, not to prac-
lice the law and medicine, to preach and
teach. but to preside over ho-aes, till the
soil, clothe and feed the world, operate
erect buildings, drive teams,
stc.
The main cause Of our failure to make |
more progress in teaching elementary
agriculture in the common schools is
found in the appalling unpreparedness
of our teachers to deal with the subject.
Hence every grade teacher that attends
! summer normal school during 1911
should be required to pursue the course
u agriculture.
