ASIA'S GREATEST les
SON FOR The SOUTH

(By Clarence H. Poe, Editor, PRO !
gressive Farmer Raleigh, n. c. /.
The prosperity of every man de-
ponds upon the prosperity, and there /.
fore efficiency, of the average man. /
The welfare of every individual de-
ponds upon the uplift of the great
masses of the people The most inn
portant fact that | discovered in all
my trip through the Orient was the
fundamental, worldwide Importance
of this too little accepted economic
doctrine. In the United States the
south especially has been Slow to &C
cept it, and has paid the penalty of it's
delay in a tragically belated develop
ment.
Nowhere in either America or Asia
can the individual accomplish much
unless the great masses of the people
have been trained to efficiency Every
man who through ignorance, lack of
training, or any other hindering cause
is producing or earning only half as
much as he ought, by his inefficiency
is making everybody else in the com
munity poorer.
In America education, democratic
institutions, and proper organiza-
ton of industry are the primary
causes which have resulted in giving
the average man high degree of eff
ficiency and therefore a high degree
of prosperity, as compared with the
lot of the average man in the Orient.
We live in better homes, have more
leisure and recreation, endure less bit
ter toll; in short, we find human life
fairer and sweeter than our fellow
man in Asia, not because you and |,
as individuals, deserve so much better
than he, but because Of our richer ra-
cial heritage. We have been born into
society where higher level of pros
perity obtains, where a mans labor
and effort count for more, simply be-
cause of what previous generations
have done for increasing the efficiency
of the masses through tools and knowl-
edge, education and machinery AS
the employment of machinery in
creases, an increasing number of men
are set free to produce some COM
fort or luxury, with the result that tAG
standard of living steadily rises.
On the other hand, in the Orient,
where machinery is not used to an
important extent, men, women and
children alike do the work of beasts
Of burden, as well as that Of human
beings, for wage that ranges from
4 cents to so cents day. Ordinarily
of course. when one answers the ques'
ton, why is 1t that the oriental gets
such low wages and has such q low

Retirement of Secretary OF Agriculture
James M. Wilson from the cabinet. 1t

House. and a fortnight may see Pres4'
dent Taft swayed between his ahei-

i members worth is largely measured
BY the freedom of his aum listration
from scandal.
But certain influential members OF
Congress, whose advice the President
counts as sound, have lately been urg-

Agriculture. Secretary Wilson, they
point out, has ceased to be an asset to
the Taft administration, and now is. in

the persecution of DR.. Wiley, and the

report. In fact, no government de-

scandal during the past several years
than that over which Secretary Wilson
presides. That he actually has had
little to do in the making of these
scandals, however, has not saved him
from attacks, both in and outside o.

Mr.. Bathrick possesses tfose Crom-

This is how Bathrick puts it, and

The truth is that every man should
