Farm Work and Machinery.

Much mischief has resulted to farm
ing as an occupation from the exploita-
ton of the idea that machinery will do
the whole job, and that future agricul-
ture will be matter of pressing buttons
and setting wheels in motion. The
eloquent men who make and sell ma
chimes often fall into exaggerations
that are hurtful and that finally get
into cartoons which depict farming as a
mere joy ride. 1t is silly and futile, OF
course, and it should mislead no one.
The trouble is that too much OF it is
believed and the thing soaks into the
general consciousness.
Good farming is work, hard work. 1t
is not going to be anything else. Human
genius will continue to help in minor
improvements, but the big eternal plan
goes on. The soil is full of miracles,
but there is no miracle that will enable
man to use the soil profitably without
labor.
When the ablest scholars of the
world set about to revise the Bible they
reverently left untouched and uncharg-
ed the nineteenth verse of the third
chapter of Genesis: ''In the sweat of
thy face shalt thou eat bread"

MILITARY DUTY FOR ALL is
NEEDED, SAYS SCOTT.

The voluntary military system
again has proved itself a failure
and should be relegated to the
past, declares Major General
Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of
the army in his annual report,
made public recently. Basing
his conclusions on the showing
of the Federalized National
Guard, when mobolized for
border duty, and the fact that
strenuous recruiting campaigns
for both the regulars and guards
men have produced negligible
RESULTS, General Scott says:
I'm my judgment the country
will never be prepared for de-
tense unless we do as other great
nations do that have large in
terests to guard, like Germany,
Japan and France, where every
body is ready and does perform
military service in time of peace
as he would pay every other tax,
and is willing to make sacrifices
for the protection he gets and
the country gets in return.
There is no reason why one
woman's son should go out and
defend or be trained to defend
another woman and her son who
refuse to take training or give
service. The only democratic
method is for every man in his
youth to become trained in order
that he may render efficient SER
vice if called upon in war. -"
Taking up the question of the
National Guard in its Federal
status, General Scott declares
the training period of rs days in
three years provided by the new
National Defense act is wholly
inadequate. I'm my judgment, ="
he says, it precludes this force
from being made fit for war SER
vice until it has received at least
six months additional training
in time of war

CHRISTMAS DAY.

We cordially greet our readers
at this Christmastide and extend
to them our best wishes. The fol-
lowing words from Golfers
Weekly seem so appropriate to
the Holy Season that we may be
pardoned for quoting them:
''The 18th of December has long
been dedicated to the joy of our
human life, from the six-year-
old who sees reindeer behind
every darkling bush and treasure
in every shop window to- the
school or college person who
rules home for a frenized inter-
val of dancing and skating be-
fore the onset of midyear ex-
aminations, and so on up to
grandfather, who sometimes
thinks turkeys used to roast
browner than they do now. 1t
is made up of frosty walks and
ringing laughter, snowy hillsides
and roaring fires, holly wreaths
in the window and mistletoe
boughs in the hall, comfort for
the aged in honored days OF
years past, and hope in all hearts
for what the future will bring.
Whether in the darkness of our
northern climate or in pale SUM-
shine farther south, this is the
great day of cheer. And truly
and rightly so. because Christ
mas is essentially the memorial
or, remembrancing day of that
eternal good will which alone
makes happiness possible for our
kind. Even those (saddest
among u.s. who know not where
to look for the star of Bethlehem
cannot belittle or deny that
growth among men of better
spirit toward one another which
is, after all, the basic fact of
human history during the last
two centuries. The materialist
has seen it proved here again
and again during the last few
months in widespread increase of
the wages paid to workers.
Those who have set their heaats
on one good cause or another
know that never before were
the people of this country so
ready to listen and so eager to
give. The blind selfshness OF
rulers unjustly holding power is
yet able to plunge whole nations
into misery, but we hope and
believe the end of such devils
statecraft is in sight. Those
who talk of recurring wars and
of trade turned to organized
hatred had better take their
counsel of the Christmas tree.
The wisdom of the ages is not in
protocols and secret diplomacy,
but in the bells of Christmas
Eve, whether one hears them by
the pines of Maine or the palms
o. Los Angeles, and by that
guidance men will live. That is
the way and the truth, and there
is no other"

who would join a mob to lynch a Ne

Our information is that the Wilson
representatives in Haiti are held up
to scorn by the English and German
residents on account of their gross i'm.
morality with the black people there.
We do not pretend to say that the
President has knowledge of the way
his deserving Democrats" are repr-
senting him in Haiti. He has
the unhappy faculty of not knowing
anything he does not want to know,
but the conduct of his people there is
a lasting disgrace to his administra-
ton.
1t might be noted in passing that
the usual Wilson consistency prevails.
He will segregate the colored EN-.
ployees in the departments at Wash.
ington, but it appears that his repre-.
sentatives in Haiti are not so particu'
lar about living up to the rule that was
laid down by their distinguished chief
in the White House.

force to Haiti and Selling its custom

even if there should be sufficient
peace to compute it, would appear to
be a fabulous amount. Wars have
been prolonged in that country upon
various ~pretexts, to which Woodrow
Wilson has contributed no meal de-
gree by his vacillating policy. In
Haiti the public debt is less than $780,
600, 600, but the President deemed it
necessary to take over the revenues
of that country with a view to liquida-
ton.
The truth of the matter is that
Wilson feared Mexico. and like all
