Their Efficiency and Ours

MIKE seems to be reluctance IN current
i American literature to oppose American eff
cheney to German efficiency in words, or to make
any comparison between them. American good
sense has held up to opprobrium the ''Kulturs up
on which the German predicates his right to rule,
but there seems to be tacit understanding against
dignifying It by any serious consideration.
rKnltuf' tosa German and "Kultur' to an AM
erican must remain different things so utterly at
variance IS the light in which each regards it. Al
though each looks upon the same object, the Ger
man sees spirituality in what TO one Of our own
nation is merely mateTial,arr t
There IS not the tendency in America today to
admire the German efficiency Of thought which
there was in 1914 The efficiency is no less great
now than then but something has interviewed which
Inexpensive America can only feel SO plain is
this feeling, however, that America has soberly
taIenup the sword against the object Of its former
admiration.
What has occurred 10 America is this: 1t APP
pears that Germany has taken "Kultur" for soul
and Rheresit formerly seemed that the Teutons
had created this oiled efficiency from their own
spirituality, America has become convinced now
that in reality the spiritual being OF that nation is
nothing less than species OF intoxcation derived
from their own handiworlS They brewed "Kul-
tur7 and they have become drunk on it, and gone
off into national delrium trernens, The rawlings
that come to us inspired by their creed are to our
minds insensate. If we are sane. then they are
insane. Their reasoning 10 us is based upon the
phantasmagoria Of crazy minds !; certainly not on
facts fat 'iltt&fg f8ss
1t has occurred to America, also, after several
years Of surprised observation, that Germany
adopted a soul because out Of its own conscious
ness it could not beget one. The mental revolt in
this country against that iegitimacy was the logi
cal sequence. especially when IT appeared that the
Inheritance OF the world was in dispute between
our soul and their soul. The rule Of changeling

FUTURE CITIZENS.

Today the mothers OF Missoula

turning their attention to the babies,
the future citizens of Montana
and America. The main thoughts to
be brought forward at the meetings
are along the line OF instructing the
mothers in the actual care Of their
offspring in order that they may have
the benefit of the best methods in
bringing up their children to be useful
citizens of our republic.
Even in Missoula much good may
be accomplished along this line
though the babies here arc by far more
fortunate than in many cities Of our
great and glorious country. when they
develop under handicaps which lessen
their physical and mental fibre and
force them to enter the race Of life
carrying an heavy impost.'
| our only criticism Of Baby Week
Is that it does not go far enough
Care Of the baby before It is born is
every bit as essential as afterward.
A course in right living for parents OF
future America might do a world OF
good II it was everlastingly kept be-
| fore them. The younger men and
women of today should remember that
the future of the United States de-
Ponds on their mode of living.

A GOOD TOWN MEETING.

The town meeting at the chamber OF
commerce last evening was of the kind
that should be held often. 1t was a
real get-together gathering Of men and
women who carry the interests OF
Missoula close to their hearts.
Tho business of the meeting, that of
framing a plan for war work through
co operation Of all civic organizations
was quickly and satisfactorily ac-
complished.
The talk of Louis D. Blodgett, secre-
tary of the Lewistown Chamber Of Com
mcrce, was well worth while. A few
men with Mr.. Blodgett's energy and
originality could make a town on the
side f a glacier. Small Wonderland
Lewistown is so progressive when men
with his driving power are there.
Two points in Mr.. Blcdgetts address
were Of special interest and impor-
tanee to Missoulians. One was the
absolute necessity Of unity and CO. OPP
GRAFTON of all people if city is to go
ahead. The other was the equally inn
portant matter of aiding the farmers
of the surrounding country In every
possible form and thus create loyalty
to The home town.
Fergus county and Lewistown have
been made one big community by en-
ecuting this plan.
We hope more town meetings will
be held on a follow-up system to push
Missoula's growth.

is needed more than ever James w.

DR.. HARRY 3. FARNSWORTh,-

"Westcrn Montana Is now passing
through a mild epidemic of measles
and whooping cough. The gravity
of the latter trouble is easily over
looked and there are many cases of
whooping cough now in Missoula.
This is usually considered one Of the
minor diseases of childhood, but a
late issue of the New York Health
News states that this trouble has
carried off more lives in New York
during the last five years, than has
the more dreaded scarlet fever.
In the years 19l5-l916 there were
2,Soi deaths from scarlet fever and
in the same period 3.739 deaths from
"hooping cough. This means a
death rate 50 per cent higher. In
1916, whooping cough ranked next to
measles as a cause of death in this
state, taking almost as many lives
as did typhoid fever and scarlet fe-
yer combined. These facts arc cited
to bring to our appreciation the i'm
portancc of proper isolation and care
for the children in our community
who may me victims Of whooping
cough.
