FARM BUREAU
DOING GOOD WORK

The Berkeley County Farm Bur
eau Is one institution or organiza-
ton that it has been a pleasure for
the Journal to assist through ex-
tensive publicity.
Under the able guidance of
President VanMetre and County
Agent Teal, the Farm Bureau has
accomplished a great deal for the
rural sections. 1t has brought the
various parts of the county to
sether in way that nothing else
could. II has helped the farmers
and their families to better living
and social conditions and 1t has
helped them to produce more grain
and livestock at less cost per unit
1t Is doubtful II a more satisfac-
DRY county agent could be found
for this community than Mr.. Teal
he deserves every assistance and
encouragement.

Today
Dividing Lands.
Sleeping Forever.
By Arthur Brisbane


These days are busy, perplexing
and for those whose fortune is &C
cumulated rather worrying.
But on the whole the country
seems going on in sensible
straight line.
The senate has told Europe that
the people here intend to manage
the affairs OF the United States.
All the affection and respect th@.
the people have for Woodrow Wi
son cannot persuade them to sui
stitute his judgment for the judi
ment of the nation expressed
through congress.
There will be no Article 10
handing over to Europe the right
to decide what this country must
do, what its duties and It's short
comings are. The United States
will govern the United States. An
important decision.
The Attorney General, represent
ing power TO enforce law, said
much in these words.
"Those who conceive that the
resolutions of a convention or the
orders Of the officers of any or
ganization in the country whether
labor organizations or any other
are superior In authority to the law
OF the land, will find themselves
mistaken"

This country has gone through

of the majority to make laws FOR
ALL. The people intend, and the
Attorney General expresses It, that
no group, socialist, capitalist. labor,
religious, agricultural or any other
shall say. The Jaw does not affect
our concern"
Doubtless after it shall have been
established that not even a million
w0rkmen can make laws of their
own, the government will also es
tablish the fact that not even a
handful of corporation owners can
continue making laws of their own.

In New York, worlds richest
city, taxes and rents climb. There is
agitation based on the discovery
that two thousand million dollars
worth of property goe5 free of all
taxation. Some of 1t belongs to the
nation, some to the city, some to
Free Masons, some to various re.
hgious denominations.
Religious property tax free as 1t
should be, amounts to two or three
hundred million dollars. Critics de-
clare that the founder OF Chris
tianity, who said "The Son of Man
hath not where to lay his head"
must be surprised to know that if
He came back He would find hun
dreds Of mollions' worth of real es-
tate awaiting Him in one city.
Brisson, extreme Socialist. run
ming for reelection to the French
Chamber, says: Peasants, the
land is yours. You must take 1t. No
more chateaux; no more landlords"
There are now six million indi-
viduals in France that own land.
many of the millions peasants. If
any attempt Is made to take Mon
sieur Brissons advice, there will
be resistance.
The land was divided up during
the French Revolution, when mon
ey sank so low that you couldn't
buy pair Of boots for a thousand
francs, but the inferior money en-
abled peasants to buy the land
that had belonged to the mobiles.
1t Is safe to assume that the
six million French land owners
will hold their land through the
present after-the-war crisis, and
that France will not see my repeti-
tion Of Russia's explosion. While
imagining what will happen" it is
well to remember that Russia be-
fore the recent change was about
where France was In 1890.
