The Standard Of Americanism

(By Meredith Nicholson in Cosmopolitan for August)
DEMOCRACY and Ignorance hostile and irreconcl-
able forces The ignorant be awed by power they
are incapable of wisely justly participating in self
government
There are eight and half million persons over ten
years of the United States who cannot read the
language in which the Declaration of Independence is
written; ard five and half million utterly lliterate
An iliterate~ American is anomaly. Every man,
and child who cannot read the language of Ameri
is dead weight
To veteran Of the Civil War / put the question:
What is the standard of Americansm He answered,
Abraham Lincoln
No one breathing Americas free air who ignorant
the the august figure that strobe from
log cabin to Immortality be other than outsider,
pilgrim and stranger. Abraham Lncon's life, majes
tic in it's simplicity contains all the elements and repre-
sents the very alphabet of American patriotism.
Democracy does not stand still; its supreme aim is
perfection and it's path leads up and Only where the
whole body of the people touch elbows the starward
leading stair may the be made in unity and con-
cord. We must all move upward together shall
perish together.
The history and the ideals of America must be UNDER
stood by all who would realize the hope and the promise
of America Victors in great war, may now direct
awakened energies and aroused national spirit the
thorough assimilation of all those elements that have not
thus far been merged in the body of enlightened Amer
citizenship.
The schoolhouse must become and the cita-
del of American democracy BY EDUCATION shall create
protective power potent than that of armies and
navies.
The complete Americanzaton of America is not q poll
tiea issue it is not debatable question 1t is an mper
tive need of the hour if preserve nviolate the
ark of the covenant Of Democracy.

ARE aROUNDUPS'INHUMAN

". A. Pritchard, q Sioux Falls
drayman, and one who appears
to be q lover and defender Of the
dumb animal, voices his protest
in q contribution to the Sioux
Falls Argus Leader against
what he terms inhuman prac-
tices at wild west shows or
'sroundups. " The question has
arisen in the minds Of many who
have witnessed these "sports''
at county fairs and other cele-
brations in late years. Mr..
Pritchard says:
Il saw the Roundup yester-
day st Rock Rapids. I went
there because / expected enjoy
ment but can't find it at the
expense Of dumb animals. /

The farmer who now puts in
from twelve to sixteen hours a
day. would jar the nation if he
would go on strike and ask for
a six-hour day. The trades
would howl their heads off if
such a condition should come up.

A GROWING COUNTRY

Pierre Capital-Journal: A few
years ago the drouth drove the
population between the Missouri
and the Black Hills out of the
country to large extent, and
thousands of people who left the
territory then have advertised
it since as q deserted section and
a large portion Of our own peo-
pie in the state have conceived
the idea that this section of the
state was at q staIfdstill. In fact,
one senator from the Jim river
valley had the ternerity to state
on the floor of the senate last
winter that this section of the
state never would amount to
much. As a matter of fact this
territory has been improving
and increasing very rapidly. The
towns along the railroad line
show as much or more improve
ment than the towns east Of the
Missouri river from a compara-
tive standpoint. This improve
ment has been going on and is
growing to such an extent that
q large portion Of the people
close by fail to realize this
growth. The railroad trains are
hardly able to carry the traffic
and especially the freight traf.
fic on schedule time. The build
ing and improving Of the section
is going on in the country eyer
more rapidly than in the towns.

q W. Evans, manager or tne county farm, attended the Farmers short course at Fayetteville, with County Agent Whitaker last week MT. Evans reports a great mees- ing The course was attended Oy more than 500 farmers and loo demonstration agents from all over the state. MT. Evans says he saw some of the finest livestock Tn the south. A part of each day was spent in visiting farms in Wash inpton county where fruit, live stock and dairying are the princi- nal industries. Mir. Evans says the farmers on these mountain sides use clover extensively TOT hay. for turning under and for pas lures. As a result of this practice their soil is rich and grows good crops in spite of the fact that the rocks in some places are close to the surface. The type of farming car ried on in Washington county could be practised to advantage on Crowley's ridge.
