Idea of Germany
AS a Democracy

Fifteen hundred persons attending
an open forum last night at Cooper
Union hooted with derision a speaker
who attempted to tell them that de-
mocracy originated in Germany. An
other man. who shouted that the Fed
eral and state governments were en-
tlrely made up of "grafters" who were
sticking the masses. was Kissed.
The trouble started after the Rev.
DE-. NJ. St. CroiX Wright had ended an
address on Democracy and the War"
The crowd then received an opportunity
20 ask questions of the speaker The
invitation had hardly been given when
little man, evidently foreigner,
leaped to his feet and began. in broken
English. an excited eulogy of the Ger
man imperial government.
You say you hatf democracy" he
cried. II tell you it originated in Ger
the greatest, most democratic govern
ment
German Democracy Derided
Al this point his voice was drowned
in derisive laughter and hoots "The
idea that democracy originated in (A,r-
many is aburd." broke in the Rev. DR.
applauded.
The applause had barely died down
before another man jumped up and be-
gan denunciation of the Federal gov
ernment and the state Legislature at
Albany. He was hissed until he snt
down. For q time it looked as though
the meeting were going to break up IN
q riot
Five minutes later both speakers
had vanished as completely as though
they had been swallowed by the earth
were continued by other speakers less
fiery.
Not all Jared as badly as the first
two. woman who demanded to know
the speakers opinion Of the "stupidity
of the Allies in net recognizing the
democracy Of Russia fighting for its
existence" was applauded
How could we recognize democ-
racy which we could not find" asked
DR.. Wright. Suppose we had made
another loan to Rus5ia-to whom
oeen no permanent government in Rus
Sia S yet He, too, was app!avded.
Predicts L. S. of Europe
In his address. Dr.. Wright prophesied
that, before many years had elapsed
after the war, there would exist a
United States Of Europe, with the pres
ent nations as states. At present, he
SAID, European nations were in the
same state of rivalry and jealousy as
that which threatened the disruption of
the thirteen colonies Immediately after
the American Revolution.
"One thing that this war is going to
teach Us all is an entirely new concep-
tion of patriotism" he declared. "Here-
after patriotism is going to consist in
loyalty to the country one expects to
die in, rather than loyalty to the coun-
try one did not choose to be born in .

Sumac for Tanning.

thousands Of neglected acres of land
near Washington, and as autumn ad.
vances the foliage of this beautiful
and useful plant will turn vivid
scarlet and become one of the very
conspicuous features OF the landscape.
In the neglect of the sumac one of the
nations treasures is being wasted.
The Department of Agriculture has
urged the conservation of this plant
and the gathering of It's leaves, be-
cause of their economic value. These
leaves have a high content OF tanifin,
and tannin is very much needed in the
work of the world in general and in
the work of the United States in par.

Once upon time the extract of sue
mac was used to a great extent by
American tanners, but that was a long
time age. Other things cheaper to
make have succeeded 1T in all but a
few branches of the tannery business,
but the price Of tannin, like the price
of very nearly everything else has
gone up, until it is believed that at the
present rates American sumac should
yield profit to those who will take
the trouble Of collecting the leaves.
AT any rate, efforts are being made
to supplement the American supply of
tannin. by calling back the old-time
suhlar Tannin extracted from the
sumac is still used in some of the
higher grades of tanning, but most of
that which was used in the United
states up to the outbreak of the war
was imported. principally from Sicily.

gather sumac the proper methods of
gathering, curing and marketing it.

six times this amount of money ex.
pended In labor. For example, one
ton OF good fertilizer will now cost
about $4,000. The plant food in this
quantity when applied to three acres
OF land will give an increase of about
75O pounds Of lint cotton and l.5O0
pounds Of seed. The lint at 3Oc per
pound amounts to $225.OO, and the
seed at $4,000 per ton amounts to
$4,000, making a total Of $2S5.OO.
Few business concerns net SO per

labor, but, granting that the farmer
will net 100 per cent on his invest.
ment in labor, and supposing that he
pays $1.00 per day for labor, the

vested in labor, would net him SAG. 90;
