The New Order"

The "Womans Journal publishes a
cartoon showing a feminine figure
ringing a bell, and the picture is
adorned with the words
The Woman's Hour Has Struck.
Woman Suffrage Is Coming in 1917
Let US recall the words of the proph
ct:
Fer the Lord hath created a new
thing in the earth. A woman shall
compass a man."-Jer, 1922.
Let US surrender gracefully as be-
comes our enlightened willingness to be
conpassed, for this new thing" is to
become part Of the new earth
wherein dwelleth righteousness. let us
hope.
Woman's hely has become essential
to the advancement Of the new order
ard the bringing in of an age wherein
nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war
any more"
New victories are recorded every
hour and vainly the agents of evil bus
mess and purely selfish things batter
their greed -calloused hands against the
iron clad measures of justice. Booze,
and drugs, and white slavery, and
gambling, and the thousand and one
social follies, and all the petty evils al
lied to each and all of these, must go;
and justice shall have a new throne
human decency shall grow in the lands
of civilization. The coming Of equal
suffrage is one of the first manifesto
lions of broader justice.
Searching further in the words of the
prophet we find new evidence of union
of forces when the time ar YES:
'Bat this shall be the covenant that
will make with the house of Israel
(white race? after THOSE DAYS,
saith the Lord. I will put my law in
to their inward parts and will write it
in their hearts, and will be their God
and they shall be my people"
If we do not question the prophet,
and those days" are now passing, we
have yet much to endure for our cen
turtles Of building the fires Of passions
that destroy, but after such conflagra-
ton as now sweeping the world, the
remnants left may see that in life is
something more worthy Of appreciation

speculator TO operate by protecting and
strengthening the farmer. The poppy
cock of cheap and easy money and
Education of the farmer along scien-
tif,c lines is a delusion and a smoke
under cover of which selfish interests
perfect their plans for such as we are
suffering at the present moment Vol
umes Of brag are being sent out by
government bureaus as to what they
are doing for the farmer" 1t is a
snare and a swindle to which the farm
er is going to open his eyes some day.
Right now is a good time. when 1000
communities are deyoting so much en-
ergy to clean up and paint up, and to
back yard gardens to reduce the high
cost Of living, for them to consider
what Germany did a generation ago.
Let them remember all the while that
soon 30 per cent. Of the farmers of this
country will be mortgaged or merely
occupied on lease by the farmers-peo-
pie who know no union hours or re-
straint Of physical endeavor in the
solemn process of digging a bare exist
ence out Of the soil; people who get 80
per cent of the dollar the consumers
pay for the product Of their toll, and
the gamblers take the 10 per cent.
David Lubin is the American repre-
.ort,,;,.a 70 tho International Institute
Of Agriculture in. Rome. He was the
originator of the plan for that institu-
ton, and he expresses his admiration
for the German plan and explains 1t,
briefly. as follows:
The key to the plan Of the Ger
mans, known as the Landwirthschaft-
rat, is that Of keeping the farmer in
formed regarding the needs of the cit
les, of the market, so that his distrib-
ution system is good, SO that he knows
what his products are worth. SO that
he knows how to sell, and SO that he
knows how to plant his crops.
al, of Germany is divided by prov
inces. and each province is kept in
formed of the others doings through a
central office. Suppose there were too
many potatoes in the province of A,
with the result that prices were low,
the farmers in this province would
make inquiries of the farmers organ
ization in a neighboring province, say
Of B. how its supply stood, and SO on
through several provinces until the
whole potato proposition was gone ov-
err and the potatoes shipped to the
point where the supply was least. In
the United States, at present, given the
condition of the province Of A, the
growers there merely continue to sell
their potatoes to the big city buyers It
whatever prices they choose to offer,
the farmers in Kentucky. say, being
navarro Of conditions in Ohio, or at
least inexactly informed.
The German plan is valuable be-
cause it is a farmers affair. All the
business of Information is carried
or through their own agents, and not
br outsiders. Their organization is
recognized by the government. All
legislation affecting agriculture must
be submitted to a standing central
committee of the farmers. The organ
ize ton is entirely Independent of the
D,p~ rtment of Agriculture, as it
should be. since no such department
can ever cooperate directly on matters
affecting prices and business
