Why Arc We at War;
(By William English Walling of TIL,
FigilanteS.)

(By William English Walling Of The
Nigilantes)
Why should this question be asked L?
The greatest war of history has been
wagcd for three years. The United
states has been at war for four
months. We have the largest mum.
Der of newspapers and are the best
informed people in the world. The
war began to affect our pocket
books. on the whole unfavorably.
from the first day it began. We
were almost Immediately involved in
the most critical disputes with all the
belligerents. Yet we arc still told.
even by such influential leaders as
Senator BOrah that VIC do not know
why We are at war
why are we at ware" Why
should such humiliating question be
asked among great democratic peo.
pie? There is but one answer. For
three long years the ceaselcss Ger
man propaganda has been penetrat-
ing every day to the most remotf
corners Of the land, and it still con-
tinueS under the pseudonym OF
"pacifism. These mountains OF
lies thus persistcnty and systemati-
cally spread over a thousand daily
issues of large part of our press
during period of three years can
not be removed within a few months.
Indeed, it may be doubted if this dev-
lis work by which so many Amcri-
cans have been intellectually pcrvert-
ed and morally corrupted can be un-
done even by an equally long cam
paign of sound logic and Of facts.
Were it not for this vile and bloody
propaganda not one American man.
woman or child would now need to
ask the question. "Why are we at
WARP"
We are at war because "the arch
devils Of despOtism," having COM
pletely dominated one nation and
successfully inoculated it with it's in
telectual and moral virus, having
spread their mastery and system of
lies to the subject-peoples they euphe-
mistically call Allies, now seek a
large If not a controlling voice over
the high-seas, and in all parts OF the
earth where there Is the slightest
prospect of obtaining control
either through their plots and propa-
ganda or through the butchery of u
sufficient part of their inhabitants.
And as long as this program sue
ceeds or promises to succeed it has
the fanatical support OF the over
whelming majority of the German
people, which for half century
the arch devils have trained, pcrvcrt-
ed, and dehumanizcd for this pur-
pose.
We are fighting to rid the world
of despOtism. which, driven from
nearly every other country "a the
earth, aside from Germany and her
Allies, now mcnaces the liberties Of
all mankind.

What Makes Cooperation a Success

Clemson College. Aug. 16.-In or
dor to make cooperation successful
there must be some real service to
perform and then there must be as
surance Of efficient management
when marketing facilities are lack
Ing. when there Is dishonesty among
local buyers. when farmers or plant
prs can save by buying and selling
coordinately. then there Is a distinct
need for cooperation. then q farmers
economic association should be call
cd into existence.
Mr.. Harold q. Powell. general
managtr Of the California Fruit
Growers Exchange. and author of
"coopcration In Agriculture" says
that cooperation must be born of
necessity but according TO L. II. ID.
Weld In his THE Marketing OF
Farm Products" this is going q lit
tie too far. II would be better to say
that some tangible economical saw
Ing or Improvement must result I'm
order to make cooperation success
fui. The truth OF the matter Is
that the cooperative spirit" that
we hear so much about. is the re-
suit rarher than the cause of sue
cessful economic endeavor. In other
words. II farmers. planters or grow
crs find that IL pays" to cooperate,
they will cooperate.
