NOT A LEARNED PROFESSION


United States District Judge Meter
er filed decision in Seattle the 9th
er day to the effect that a school
teacher is not member of a recog-
nized learned profession, and if a
foreigner, may be excluded from the
country under the immigration laws.
The federal authorities believe tnat
this will keep out of the country
many teachers imported by parents
to impart foreign languages to Amer
ican-born children.
There is doubtless good reason
back of the decision, and it will serve
to bar many would-be teacher who
has nothing back of his claim but
knowledge of one Or two languages
which he hopes to find students for,
once he is inside the gates. Perhaps
it will nave special usefulness dur
ing wartime.
But won't it come pretty hard on
the teachers who fill the summer
schools of the big universities seeking
new academic degrees to find out that
no matter how many mystic letters
they trail after their names they can
never hope to be considered members
of learned profession?

HETTY GREEN'S TWO RULES

The late Hetty Green, Who was in
many respects a sort of female Rus
sci Sage, seriously advised her son
not to stay out all night and not to
drink ice water.
At the time this motherly advice
was proffered, Colonel Green was a
bachelor, who spent much of his time
in New York city. And the admoni-
ton that he should not stay out all
night indicated how we'll the richest
woman in the world understood the
temptations which beset a bachelor
making New York his home. ~
Don't drink ice water" That was
good advice, too, as any physician
will testify. But why stop with wa
ter? There are certain concoctions
with ice in them which are apt to
carry New York bachelor off his
feet much more rapidly than ice wa
ter. There are mixtures which might
be likened to rapid fire guns as COM
pared with pop gun ice water
But Mrs. Green, knowing the weak
nesses of and the temptations sur
rounding her son, realized that there
was no need of compiling table OF
ten commandments. Two were suffi-
cient and now that the Colonel is g
sedate Benedick perhaps a blue pen.
Gil may be run through even these.
Besides the doughty Colonel may
have moved back to Texas and hung
upon his wall the good old injunc
ton: early to bed and early to rise
make a man healthy, wealthy ant
wise."

YANKEE INGENUITY

Fashions in war-craft change so
suddenly these days that one is often
at a loss to know which is considered
the most effective weapon. Monitors
re Gin" again, and the splendid eff
cheney of the British vessels of this
ype on the Austrian coast recalls
again the debt that European nations
owe to Yankee ingenuity in war wea-
pons.
John Ericsson and the Monitor 4,
Holland and the submarine, Fulton
and the steam man-of-war, the
Wright brothers and their airplanes,
Maxim and his powder, and scores of
Americans who perfected existing
types Of ordnance, methods of firing
and devices of all sorts, beginning
with Parrott and Hotchkiss down to
the present day, with Lewis and his
excellent machine gun, have all con-
tributed to make war what it is to-
|aay.
1t is this thought which should
hearten the allies. And, judging from
the editorial comment and the car
toonS from allies and enemies as we'll
there seems to be nothing so ever
present in the European mind as this
tradition of Yankee inventiveness.
American soldiers and American
food will be necessary features in this
war. They will loom up more and
more important as the days go by
But the mental qualities, the bluff ac-
quired in the competition of Ameri-
can life, the skill and dash won in its
sports and the ingenuity of the whit
tier and mis- jack-knife twill be fac.
tors in trench life.

EXTENSION OF THE SEASON

June, July and August are the good
almanacs, and until within recent
years the fashionable summer season
at the mountain and seaside resorts,
began and ended with these months
Not so now. What is called "The Sea-
son" is not arbitrarily fixed at either
end. True, the great majority of va
cationists flock to the resorts during
the three months named, and the sea-
son may be said to be at its height
in July and August, but the reason
for this is no longer the mere edict
of wealth and fashion, but rather be-
cause the schools are closed, business
is dull and many people then find
their only opportunity to go from
home and take their families with
them for few weeks of rest and re-
creation.
There is something so delightful
and recuperating in the breezy and
cool-but not cold-weather of late
May and early June, and something
so inexpressibly charming and whole
some in that of late September and
early October, that people who care
little for fashion and who do not wish
to be a part of the crowd and crush
of the hot midsummer will, if they
can, elect to spend their vacations
during these most pleasant days of
the year. And they have, according
to their own telling, the best time of
all.
The number of those who enjoy
their vacations and outings before the
regular season mas begun or after it
has ended, is increasing every y ear,
and the season is being extended to
accommodate them. This year Labor
Day did not see the exodus of all the
resort patrons. A great many of them
had to return home, it is true, be-
cause their vacation time was ended,
the schools were opened and the chill
dren had to take up their studies, but
thousands, in the aggregate, remained
to enjoy the delights at the various
resorts under conditions highly fav-
orable to health and comfort.
The marked extension of this years
vacation season into the early au-
tumn months is due, in some degree
tn tho indaciSion irrnsoIution apd
fear which were felt by a good many
people in May and June. The wealth
er was unfavorable to begin with, they
dreaded the return of poliomyelitis,
and they were not at all certain but
that submarine might throw shells
right into their cottages or hotels.
Not until about July 1 were these
fears dispelled,. and the season, dull
and unpromising till that date, then
fairly jumped into it's usual activity
and gaiety. But it had been so short
!ened up by these misgivings that
when the crush came the boarding
houses and cottages were filled to ov-
erf1owing, the hotels were overcrowd-
ed and there was nothing for a good
many to do but to wait until the rush
was over. Hence the season is not
yet closed but is still going on, and
those who are now getting the benefit
of it say that it excels the midsummer
in every desirable way

sent from the patriotic parade in
Washington the other day. 1t would

MIR. HOOVER ON MEATS

Food Administrator Hoover's ad-
dress to the National Livestock
Conference on the subject of meat
supply and prices must have surprised
his hearers, as it undoubtedly will
startle consumers. Food control as
recommended and to some extent
practiced has contemplated the sus-
pension of customary business meth
DDS and even of economic law. If
Government was not actually to fix
prices, it was so to regulate produc-
ton and distribution as to prevent
extortion.
Now Mr.. Hoover says that in view
jof the worldwide shortage of food
animals and the insistent demand for
| meats, prices must continue to soar,
nd that the only remedy, aside from
elf-denial, is to increase production.
,Price-fxing is not possible and seiz-
re of the packing houses will not do,
ne says. Stock-growers must have
prices that will stimulate their in
dustry.
Wherein, then, does this program
differ from the usages responsible for
i he conditions as to food which the
Governments elaborate plan of con-
troll was designed to correct? The
! first principle of economic law is that
scarcity expresses itself in high
! prices, and that high prices in turn
not only restrict consumption and
prevent waste but encourage produc-
! ton so that normal relations between
producers and consumers may be re-
stored. Voluntary agreements as to
prices to be paid stock-growers nave
cen entered into by the big packers
for many years and have been the
! cution.
If Mr.. Hoover means that he can
do nothing more than this, his address

cigarette, that Incompatible sedative
for shaken nerves, arrive the whole
aspects of the dressing station al
ters.' This comment from a Canad-
ian surgeon at the front will distress
those "uncoguid" folk who have
looked askance at all tobacco funds
and are particularly indignant that
any one should encourage the Soldiers
and sailors of Uncle Sam to smoke
cigarettes. Well as thing go, it
looks as if they will have to get over
their indignation in the face of uni
versal demand based on a general
| need and on the undi5putable fact
that the cigarette is one of the easiest
and most harmless of indulgences. 1t
relieves the tedium of the trench life
and gives a certain smoothing effect
through the smoke, and the, casual
occupation of getting mental distrac-
ton and physical stimulus, no mat
ter how slight. in critical situations
is not to be disputed. "My Lady Nico-
tine" has had her ups and downs in
public favor. Extremists who would
paint her as the veriest drab are. of
course, as far from the truth as those
would be who should recommend un-
limited Indulgence when the system
is antipathetic. There is reason and
moderation in all things, though some
some to this belief slowly. Under
the profound psychosis of war the
testimony of all is that to smoke is
real relief that may well be put at
the command of all through affection
or charity. What a dreary world we
should live on if the glooms always
had their way!

New Orleans, La.
 TIT is S6 hours by fast express train
 from Washington to New Orleans,
 The disetance is about as great as from London to Rome, or as from Bos- ton to Chicago, and the trip can be made in as comfortable trains. The Southern railway, on which l came here, takes one through parts of the south which can do much in the furnishing of food and war supplies l rode the whole length of Virginia, crossing the wheat and corn lands of the rich Shenandoah valley, passing through Lynchburg, the gerat to- bacco market and striking my first big cotton mills at Danville on the border of North Carolina. From there on for a distance as great as from New York to Cleveland we were in sight of cotton mills, many of which are making sup plies for the soldiers. The great red brick, white widowed factories rise right up in the midst of the plantations, and it seemed as though the smoke from their stacks must pollute the white bols when the crop is ready for harvest. About every factory is it's mill village, consisting of one-story houses of from three to five rooms, and in most of the villages are

large, new brick schoolhouses. which rise high above the homes of the peo- pie.
 In going through North Carolina we stepped at High Point, the Grand Rapids or the south. It has 70 furniture fac torres and it's beds, chairs and tables are now sold all over the union. It also makes street cars for Washington New York city and other large towns of the north. Further south we saw cottonseed oil mills, and at Atlanta passed through an industrial beehive which reminds one Of the big cities of the middle west. Everywhere the new south is in evil dence. It's industries are rapidly grow ing and it can do a great deal along many lines in this critical period It is already making about S4O0o0O0,0G0 worth Of goods every year, or more than $500 per annum for every family, colored and white, which lives south of Mason and DiXons line.
 Cotton is still the chief crop of the south. The factories are rapidly in- creasing in number, and with the high prices of today they are paying big divi- dends. The "sky-hgh cotton" boosted up by the war, is leading many of the planters to drop their diversified farm ing. This tendency is being fought by

The country can easily raise all its own food. and have vast quantities le export all over the world. Not Ions. ago it was producing nothing but cot ton. and it is only lately that it has begun to put much in corn. wheat, oats and hay Nevertheless. It's total grain crop of last year was worth more than s1. 200, 900, 900. This included only corn, wheat and oats. and it raised in ad- dition rice worth more than $40, 0,000.- 0O0 In 1915 the south harvested more than one-third of the corn crop of the United States. and it has the rec ord of having produced the most corr on any one acre. That acre was farme1 by a boy, and the product was 259 bushels. In 1912 a Mississippi farmer took more than 10V bushels of corn from a 7O-acre cid. his average be- ing in excess of 120 bushels per acre
 And now as to the meat! When the south has developed it's live stock pos abilities. Uncle Sam will not have .. go to Argentina for his mutton, nor to Argentina and Uruguay for his beef in 1916 the live stock of the south was worth more than a billion dollars. and with the present demands it will greatly increase. Recent eX- periments show that beef can be. pro- duced in many of these states at or cents a pound, and that pork can be raised at a cost of less than 4 cents a pound. This is in contrast to the prices we are paying for meat of all kinds
 I might also mention how the south is fast becoming the winter garden of our biggest cities and towns. It is now receiving more than s500,0oO, ,o20 Year from fruit and vegetables and a vast trucking industry has grown up along the coastal plain all the way from Chesapeake bay to the bottom of Florida. and along the shores of the gulf as far south as the Mexican bor- der. They are now shipping vegeta- bles to all parts of the north from southernmost Texas, and I have before me as I write a copy of the Galveston News. containing a telegram showing how John Burns. who lives at Eagle Lake Wherever that may be) re- gently shipped four carloads of spinach from 10 acres of ground at price of $500 per car. The dispatch says that he put 50 acres In spinach last season, and that the crop brought him in s76Oo.
 Our national government Is mobilizing our manufactures, in order that they may be used to the best advantage for us and our allies in Europe. This will be of great importance in the economical struggle when peace comes and also in our national development for all time to come. The south has enormous manu- featuring possibilities. It has more coal than Germany. Great Britain, Austria, Russia or France. It has more than 10, 900, ,000, ,0c0 tons of iron yet to be mined, and it is now annually producing about 40, : 000,000 tons of pig iron, or more than one half of all the pig iron made by the world. It Is mining about one-half of all the coal of the world, and it's coal resources have barely been touched. It has enough coal and iron to furnish ar nor plate for all the navies~ on earth, and, I venture, leave enough over to make a steel girdle around the equator.
 Among the absolute necessities of the present time are gasoline and fuel oil.

today something like 1900 sawmills at work in different parts of the south, and the lumber goes to every state and to al- most every county cast of the Rockies. The forests contain vast quantities of hardwoods as well as of pine, and they supply a large part of the oak and nick ory used in the furniture and vehicle fac- tories of the north.
 might add that the south now has one-third of all our railroads. and that it's lines are making more money than those of any other part of the union might say that it's waterfalls have more than five millions of undeyeloped horsepower. and that it has one plaes on the Tennessee river which can fur nish more energy than that now used at Niagara. I might show that ths southern banks now have deposits of more than s3.000 900 900 and that the people are taking large part of the bonds that have been issued to finance the war I might say much more, but | have given you enough to show something of this wonderful field Of industry and wealth. which the people are glad to devote to their country.

It belongs to the Bethle- hem Steel company and Charles SchwaD has guaranteed the expenditure there of about $50.090.0Oo.
 In all woodworking manufactures the south has great advantage in it's enor- nous extent of forests and lumber re- sources. Some of the largest pine woods of the United States are those of Louisi- ana and Arkansas. and they have what is known as the "battleshfp pine" which makes the best lasts fer vessels. The southern yellow pine is found in Il states and there is said to be 200OO0,0)000O or So0, 00c. CO., 900 feet still uncut. Altogether. the south has about 40 per cent of the standing timber of the United States. and of late it has been cutting more than half of all the lumber that we use. There are
