wide spread in this country because
OF the increased difficulty in securing
ownership to land. To the public
generally this is sealed chapter in
the notes of an unwritten history,
but those of us who can remember
when there was no Great West,
when Cincinnati was called Porkopo-
lis and when steers were fed from
the open range across the prairies to
the central market, this is no mys-
terry. We understand perfectly well
that the mass of Americans do not
know, that until about the opening
of the present century, men, women
and children worked willingly and
often cruelty witt out money and
without price for the sake Of develop
ing out of natures raw material "a
home of their own" That oppor-
tunity has now cone and with it the
impulse to labor for something bet
tie. than money. Hereafter the farm
err, like other people, will have to
reckon his incomes in terms Of cash.
The wave OF land hunger now 60
ing up over this country is but the
premonition of what is coming if It
is to remain as difficult as now for
cuontry- minded young families to OBJ
tain, within reasonable period,
homes of their own. Here within
oCr midst almost unnotiCed and for
the most part unknown in growing
up situation of vastly rOre import
to public welfare tnan are all the
questions of merchant marine, trade
routes, raw materials, and perferen-
tial tariffs combined. The facts are
that as matters are going now, land
ID slipping away from the typical
farmer, and his children will soon
be disappearing from our colleges.
But why be so solicitous about a
class of people WHO cannot or will
net take care of themselves? That
IS exactly the point. We have now
reached a time in world development
when we recognize the fact that many
very good things can not take care
Of themselves but must be cared for,
even fought for, and that the policy
Of laisse2 faire is often fatal to peace
rul progress.
If the farmer is not satisfied and
thinks he can better himself, then
let him change his profession. Elk
actly, and that is what he is doing
in an alarming proportion of in
stances; but what about the rest of
us, and wherewithal shall we be fed?
Il farming were a profession engag-
ing but a few thousand people, we
might afford to let it alone, but it
IS our largest industry, engaging
millions of some kind OF citizens 1t
is a matter Of public concern, there
fore, both ways that they be prosper
Gus and gradually evolving with the
rest of the world.
1t is because the farmer as such
can not take care of himself; because
we are drifting rapidly away from
conditions that promote a stable
democracy and toward agrarian rev.
o.rtion, that national policy about
agriculture must be one Of the major
and not the minor considerations in
readjusting the affairs of this dis
turbed country, which is now, in
common with the rest of the world,
IN highly fluid condition and ready
for the hand Of the moulder.

his community has. When a
few dozen or several hundred
such men gather, the accumu-
latiou of ideas begins to ex-
change with great rapidity.
Discussion ensues, concrete evil
dence is presented and the
minds of the assemblage are
set to work. The result is that
your town delegate comes back
with something better that he
has absorbed from some others
experience. Perhaps, too, he
has perpetuated some idea of
his with a hundred other dele
gates.
The man who stays at home
year after year and loses that
contact with others in his line
of work soon finds himself
trailing the procession. If he
is not naturally progressive and
constructive, his attendance at
conventions gives him the bene-
fit of others progressiveness.
Few conventions break up
and their delegates return
home without having profited
by their attendance. Your
business man serves you better, \
your lodge finds its field of
service broader, your city of
ficial is enabled to introduce
some economy or improvement
as a result of a convention. The
Iuncheons, banquets, scenic
trips and other entertainment
at conventions are secondary.

mendous loss, they admit, but
the, recovery has been marked,
In spite of tremendous increas-
es IN wages which the govern
ment has granted railway help,
some of the roads made a pro-
ut last year. In this part of the
country two which returned a
profit were the Great Northern
and Southern Pacific.
Some employees of the rail-
roads are said to have admitted
that they attempted to dis
credit government operation
since the war. Of course such
conduct in war time would
have meant treason. The sup
porters of the ownership policy
say that these same employees,
pinching pennies as zealously
for the government as for their
private owners, would have
made for the success of the ven
ture.
Government ownership of
the railroads is assailed be-
cause it opens the way for more
politics, opponents say. They
declare that congress could not
act quickly enough to admins
ter the roads properly. The |
chief objection, voiced by SO
per cent of the members of the
national chamber, is that the
cost would be $20,000,000,000.
The United States will not
purchase the railroads because
of pressure from railroad en-
ployes nor will it be done in any
hurry. The trend, however, is
toward community ownership,
such as municipality owned
street railways, ferry lines, and !
other public utilities. This ten i
dency is constantly expanding.
The United States will not
take over the railroads for
some time to come, in all like
Iihood, but it would not be sur
prising within the next decade
Or two to see that step taken.
