OF least resistance, there will event.
ually be complete form of interna-
ional organization.
The creation of such a cooperative
union --ould not be without precedent
more than a quarter of a century in
the Western hemisphere in the Pan
American Union, which, rather than
the constitutional form of the United
States. is adapted to serve as a model
for the new European union"
The author then outlines the activi
ties of the Pan-American Union, the
many important matters which come
up for discussion and action before the
periodical conferences, and the espe-
cial attention paid to the promotion OF
international intercourse, encourage
ment of trade. and the dissemination
of information of every kind among
the different countries composing the
union. He comments as follows:
1T will occasion no surprise that
Pan Americanism. despite its purely
economic and social program. has re-
acted upon political life as we'll. Years
Of peaceful cooperation between ma
tions and their representatives
strengthen confidence, engender a
habit of mind which doer rot presup-
pose hostile intentions in ones neigh
bors. and in critical issues re-enforces
the determination to let rational con-
siderations decide. Arbitration and
development on the American CONT
nents. The peaceful cooperative
union expedites peaceful settlement of
such disputes as inevitably arise. Pan
Americanism is not only a model for
Europe; it is a warning as well. A
continent SO organized will only too
easily win precedence over divided
Europe If that DISCRIMINATION which
has led to war should continue after
the war, the danger of the associated
states of Pan-America outstripping
Europe will be far greater. Europe
will lag behind America because of
its Reorganization and also because
of its exhaustion. Hence a co-opera-
tive union must be formed, that a
united Europe may meet that united
continent across the sea, not for at
tack, but to make further corporation
possible :
An estimate of the organization of
the Pan-American Union such as this,
by an entirely disinterested economist
and thinker, speaks well for the wis
dom and forethought of those who
founded and have maintained such an
organization and is an indication that
us work has attracted worldwide at
tention.

who wore decent clothes or collars had
goodly share of the former and all

turned out.
The ragged rites are all designed to

Another propitiatory rite will be the

THE RESTORATION OF EUROPE.

After the European war is over
then what? What is to be done to re-
generate and to reconstruct that torn
and broken continent? To answer
such questions, DR.. Alfred D. Fried,
the eminent Austrian pacifist, has
written a very thoughtful little book,
the English translation of which has
recently come from the press. 1t is
entitled THE Restoration of Europe"
and in it the author suggests what he
regards as a feasible and practical
scheme of communion organization.
Doctor Fried is the editor of the
we'll known pacifist organ, "Die Fried
enswarte," published in Zurich, Swift
zerland, and in 1911 was awarded the
Nobel peace prize for his admirable
work in the cause. He is the author
of some sixty-odd works dealing with
the peace movement and the founder
of the German Peace Society of Ber-
lin. His book, as might be expected,
is written from a pacifist viewpoint.
OF special interest to the Americas,
however, is the fact that he sees in the
Pan-American Union the model for
the proposed Pan-European Union
which he deems essential to the restor-
alton of that continent. He develops
his idea in the sixth chapter of his
book in part as follows:
In the previous chapter we saw I'M
der what conditions the organization
of Europe might be extended. Atten-
ton was called to the fact that no ar
tificial construction was to be consid-
cred, but rather the development of
hand. Europe must grow into the
new community, just as in the past it
grew into anarchy The old historic
units must be combined. not as parts
of a federation. but rather as indie
pendent members of great union Gre
ated for a specific purpose. 1t is true
that war is a political phenomenon,
but it would be false to assume that
the organization which is to super
sede it must therefore be of a politi-
cal nature. On the contrary, expert
ence demonstrates that political
unions such as our present-day al
liances finally lead to war. If our
purpose is to promote the association
of states for the furtherance of their
numerous non-political common in
terests. we shall meet less opposition
than if we attempt simultaneously to
organize them politically. In the LONG
run a close association in economic,
technical. social and ideal fields will
inevitably make itself felt in political
relations as we'll Following the line

THEIR PLACE IN THE sim.

The United States does less to give
the child of the laborer a place in the
sun than any country of consequence
in Europe, writes Elias Tobenkin in
the December Metropolitan. And in
the intricate form of society in which
we live this means that the entire in
dustrial stability and commercial
progress of the country is undermined
The laborer is a link in the chain
called society, and no chain is stronger
States still spells opportunity to the
child who comes here from abroad,
Because that child comes either with a
better training or else with a mind
that has been stirred to great eager
ness. To the youngster born or bred
in this country it spells handicap, be-
cause of our oligarchical system of edu-
cation, which insists on ignoring the
facts of life and dwells in an atmos-
phere of medieval romanticism. Vo-
cational education is today a fact in
Germany, England, France, Denmark,

ALFALFA IN KANSAS.

valuable contribution to the agr1-
cultural literature of Kansas and the
nation, as well, is the report of the
Kansas State Board of Agriculture for
the quarter ending with June, 1916,
and which is devoted in its entirety to
alfalfa. 1t is a volume of asa pages,
with 373 illustrations, and the edition
comprises $4,000 copies.
]. C. Mohler. the secretary of the
board, was, of course, the master hand
in the preparation of this report and
he has produced an alfalfa book that
surely must take its place as the very
best one which has ever been issued
This is especially true in respect to
the information that the book con-
tains Nearly one-half of it is de-
voted exclusively to a report of the
investigations of the state agricultural
board in respect to the methods and
practices of the Kansas farmers who
are the most extensive and successful
alfalfa growers.
So far as is known a digest of this
sort has never before been presented
to the public And the value of this
digest is almost incalculable to all al
falfa growers and to countless farm
ers who have not yet entered this ag-
ricultural field.
1t tells them how the best results
in alfalfa culture are to be obtained,
and this isn't theoretical information
that is passed out, either. 1t is prac-
teal information that has been born
fHv-,r Of mr. ayn6rianRaG nf
those who have been most successful
in raising alfalfa.
AS Mr.. Mohler writes in the pref
ace to this report: Nowhere are
conditions more favorable to the prof
table production of alfalfa than in
j Kansas. The rise in importance of
this legume is one of the wonders of
agriculture. Its advent was epochal
in the states history. That it has
contributed handsomely to the pres
ent-day affluence of the Kansas farm
er cannot be gainsaid; that it will be
more largely depended upon in the
future is certain. Approaching the
advantages of alfalfa, the husband
men of Kansas confidently look for
ward to broader expansion in the pos
sibilities of our agriculture, to in
creased per capita wealth and en-.
HANGED land values. to better homes
and greater comforts
And as Kansas has really only
scratched the surface of her alfalfa
resources, the most comprehensive re.
port that Mr.. Mohler has issued or
alfalfa culture is not only most time,
ly but it will be sure to show the way
to an immensely larger and more
profitable alfalfa production thruout
the state.
