Evidently the German imperial chancellor shares the views of our
own Theodore Roosevelt about treaties A treaty, according to the
chancelors convenient theory, is just a scrap of paper, to be torn W

obligations. Mr.. Roosevelt, in cr1ciIng Mr.. Bryans peace treaties
took the sam contemptuous view and he al point o the German
chancelors words and actions in confirmation of his soothing. Never

solemn promises in writing. Great Britain is ne as evidenced by hNr
championship of Belgium in accordance with her guarantee of Belgium
neutrality. which guarantee W a the scrap of paper that aroused the
German chancelors ire.
Practically all the instruments that separate civilization from bar

wills, marriage certificates, the Bible ITSELF are scraps of paper" Abo1-

The department is continually re-
ceiving inquiries from all sections
asking how farmers ought TO organ
lie. The answer to such a general
question must necessarily be that 1t
depends partly upon the particular
needs OF given community and part
ly upon the capacity which farmers
have to establish and manage the
work OF suitable organization.
There should be a strong local feel
ing OF the need OF some improvement
and that certain definite aims or pur-
poses can be more fully realized
with the aid OF organized interest
and activity than through individual
effort alone. II is folly to expect that
mere organization, as such, will
achieve a given object. unless the
farmers organize in the right way
and equip their organization so taht
Il will carry on It's work efficiently.
Having decided that an associated
effort is warranted by the needs of
the community. a study should he
made of the kind OF organization
that would be most helpful and the
ways and means of making its work
effective. While this calls for intel
ligent. enthusiastic. and self-secri-
ficing leadership, II is best that this
be furnished locally. Organizations
may need advice, but they should not
be promoted by outsiders. The farn'-
er's advance must come as a result
of his own efforts his progress mus
develop from within rather than
from without. The organization tina
Is given him IL of far less value t'
him than the one which he himself
creates. In the matter OF securing
advice Il IL generally wise to maxi
application to the agricultural college
or the proper government official. II

Attention Of Public to

Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu-
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems Of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ficulties now confronting the railroads
Of the country and asking for the CO.
operation OF the governmental authori-
ties and the public In supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum rectes that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
OF credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
OF the country face a most serious
| crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation OF the candle

government and the forty-eight states
acting Independently Of each other as
we'll as through the action Of strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory OF governmental regula-
ton, but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, In transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public. character
ICES it as "a lucid statement Of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con
tinuing. said In part:
You ask me TO call the attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way. whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, ant

The conference was certainly
