THE YEAR OF PLENTY.

II is remarkable that year of
tragedy and increasing want in Eu-
rope should be a year of such un-
exampled plenty in America. The
crops, as estimated in the latest gov

ible
It's a year Of records. The wheat Is
over 1000. 600. 900 bushels, tOtalling

than 300. 600, 900 bushels over the
average for the last five years. IL
corn was King of crops before. it is
now emperor There are indications
OF 313.O26. 600. 900 bushels. That is a
triAe Of $4,000. 900 bushels less than
the record production of 1912. but
the husking may. wipe out that mar
gin; and anyhow, with the high prices
prevailing this year it will be the
most valuable corn crop ever grown
At oct. l prices it is rated as worth
s2.133,OOO, 600, about twice our ma
tional debt.
Oats will break the record by 1907

A year ago our agricultural good
fortune was due 10 a stroke of luck
or a benencient dispensation of Prov-
dence This year we may properly
take a good deal OF the credit TO our
selves. The nation set about DELHI

than ever before. recognizing that the
European war would create an un-
example5 demand And the result
has fulfilled expectations We are now
i'm position to feed the world, with
mutual advantage 10 the belligerent
nations and ourselves.
The benefit is not merely temporary.
The keen interest aroused in crops
will remain. The new honor paid to
agriculture will continue and strength

with the demand for greater produce
ton. Crop-raising will become more
and more a scientific business instead
OF a haphazard sowing OF seed and

thus the war by stimulating our agri-
cultural output, is indirectly worth
billions 10 the nation.

PULL OUT THE HYPHEN!

We believe, with the president. in
the loyalty Of the great body of nat
uralized citizens of foreign birth, but
it is none the less true that many of
them have departed widely from that
loyalty in the present crisis.
There is such a thing as loyalty Of
deed and again. loyalty of word.
America demands OF her citizens. not
either, but both.
She must and will have allegiance
that is whole-hearted and unwaver-
ing. or none at all. The course Of
the president and his counselors has
been rocky one in attempting TO pre-
serve an attitude or real neutrality
in this war. 1t has been made more
so by those citizens who. while affirm
ing all loyalty 10 this country by
word, have not been loyal at hear,
nor in deed. at the hour when it was
so sorely needed.
The slogan should be America for
Americans" meaning by that, not
alone the descendants Of the May
flower few. but the people OF all
countries and all climes who seek
refuge here with the whole-hearted
purpose of making America their
country. first and last. the stars and
stripes their only flag. We have enough
of left-handed loyalty.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
LEAVE 1T TO THE EXPERTS.
Charleston News and Courier.)

Charleston News and Courier)
The several public men, some Of
them members of congress, who have
expressed themselves as approving
certain methods of STRENGTHENING the
national defense and as being unal-
terably opposed TO certain other meth
DDS are not displaying a large meas
ure of common sense. They do not
profess to be military or naval experts
or 70 have special knowledge of mil
itary and naval problems; yet they
decide Offhand and with the most as
tonishing cOcksureness questions
which only experts are competent TO
decide
This criticism, Of course does not
apply to those who have expressed
themselves on such broad questions as
whether or not the national defense
should be strengthened and whether
or not we need a large army as well
as a large navy. In respect to these
questions technical knowledge is not
needed in order TO qualify anybody to
form a judgment. But congressman
from inland districts who know moth
ing about naval warfare, who have
had no training in naval science, and
whose knowledge of naval matters is
derived entirely from what they have
picked up from newspaper accounts
of naval operations in the present war
are certainly not competent to decide
for themselves that the United States
should henceforward cOnfine itself
mainly TO the building Of submarines.
Mr.. Kitchin of North Carolina has
reached this decision and has an
nOunced his unalterable opposition to
the strengthening of the navy through
the addition of new battleShips He
has set a foolish example. If the new
naval program is 10 be based on the
snap judgment of ignorant amateurs
there might as we'll be no new naval
program at all. Congress should be
guided in what it does by the recon-
mendations Of the experts who alone
are competent 10 reach conclusions in
respect 10 technical questions like the
one that Mr.. Kitch;n, with no tech
nical knowledge at all, has decided off
hand.

is THE WORLD OvERCIvMIzED?


Not 50 very long ago il was the
fashion in certain blase circles 70 eX-
claim that the world was Overcivil-
lied The outbreak OF the war in
Europe and the hideous manner in
which IL has been prosecuted put a
considerab BILE crimp in that notion. It
vas discovered that what were look
ed upon as the most highly civilized
portions Of the earth's inhabitants
were not in any particular danger Of
OVERRIDING the mob. The supposed
softness OF the highly cultured lndi-
vidual was found. upon inspection, 10
be a myth. while the harsh and bru-
tai method of conducting the war
emulated the customs Of our prehis-
tOric ancestors. The European world
can hardly boast of its superior civili-
zation while il perpetuates. among
other things, a political system which
precipitates its members into a hor-
rfble slaughter periodically.
But what of the other sections OF
the human race? Are they. then.
overcivilized? \ survey Of the globe
makes a pessimistic answer inevitable.
Instead OF being oVercultured. the job
is far from being even moderately
we'll done among the majority of the
peoples Of the earth. There is In
dia. with three or four hundred mill
lions OF people. the majority Of whom
lack even the necessities of life. There
is China. with her conglOmerate
mass OF illiterates. who exc out
miserable existence in town and
country. There is Serbia, where Ordi-
nary sanitary arrangements are al
most unknown and the population is
n prey 10 filth and disease. There
IS Mexico. where a miserable revClu-
ton overspreads the land and starva-
tion stares millions OF people in ne
face.
There is-but what's the use? The
foregoing list is sufficient 10 convince
the most skeptical that the more cul-
tured and enlightened peoples of the
earth have a large contract on their
hands TO civilize the less enlightened
and they could do a little missionary
work at home 10 some advantage.

CANADIAN AMERICANS.
(Boise Capital News.)


The London, Ontario, Advertiser
corrects is American contemporaries
who have been much agitated over
the threat OF conscripting Americans
living in Canada and sending them to
Europe TO fight for the allies. That
there was much danger of this many
people believed, and hence the exodus
TO Canada has materially lessened.
During the fiscal year OF 1914 Ameri-
cans TO the number OF 107,530 left
home and took up their residence in
Canada, while during the fiscal year
OF 1915 onlys 59,779 changed place Of
residence. During the last Is years
l,45S,43S moved over and made their
homes in Canada, which number. is
only 100000 less than those arriving
from the British isle. These people
took up good farm lands that were
given them for the asking. They de-
veloped them and became prosperous.
and in order to have a voice IN the
government of the country and COM
munity in which they lived they be-
came naturalized subjects OF the Brit
ish crown. Their abandonment of this
country and location in Canada was
merely a familiar economic tendency

in addition TO all free land she has re-
moved all doubt from the minds of
those who were apprehensive lest they
might be called upon 70 take up arms
against their native country in case OF

was made by statute in case of nat
