Ford's Vision of the Future Farm.

While Henry Ford was undergoing what
ever of ordeal his long cross-examination in
his recent suit provided for him. he found sur
cease from court room worries by long walks
into the country. On one of these he tersely
outlined to the correspondent of an eastern
magazine his vision of the future farm. Three
hundred and sixty acres is too small unit he
says; the coming farm plot will be much
larger than that Work will be done by ma
chinery, and the increased output will be mar
keted by farm organizations, the middle man
having disappeared, and the consumer getting
his that much cheaper.
This is a familiar thought, often expressed
by those who think of the farm in abstract
terms. On the other side, those who have
studied the problem concretey look ahead to
a time OF smaller holdings and more intensive
cultivation. not only to increase production but
to give more families access to the land and
whatever of economic independence flows from
the ownership of the tools. Another of Mr..
Fords mistaken, so lar public experience
goes, ideas is that the cooperative marketing
of foodstuffs by the farmers has reduced the
cost to the consumer. 1t may have added to
the farmers profit by reducing his selling ex-
pense, but none of this benefit is yet enjoyed
by the public.
Certain processes are necessarily involved in
getting food from the field to the table. Each
of these costs something. 1t is undoubtedly
true that too many hands are at present TAX
ing toll on the way. and when these extra ones
are eliminated, the indispensable service in con-
necton with marketing must be paid for by
somebody. Even Mr. Ford's splendid success
was not achieved without highly efficient SELL
ing organization. 1t may be doubted without
heresy if the future of agriculture lies in the
direction he has pointed

Observing Constitution" Day.

Nation wide observance of the birthday of
the Constitution of the United States should
serve to impress upon the American people the
fact that such a charter does exist. 1t is too
often forgotten in the easy flow of our lives,
so seldom does the individual really come into
direct personal contact with it. Only when
some great question Of principle or policy is
brought before the public is thought generally
turned to the written instrument on which our
government rests. The constitution is the foun-
daton Of the written law of the land, and this
is government of laws and not of men, Its
perpetuity is assured not by the continuing line
Of : { Nasty but because each individual who
- = = r""cr is rule is also an equal sharer in
its benefits and protection, and in himself re-
spousible both to and for it. In all the ways
of life the law is about us, shielding and pro-
tectng u.s. And this law is rooted in the con-
sttution, drawing its sustenance from that
great fountain of energizing power. William
Ewart Gladstone said Of it: The American
constitution is the most wonderful work ever
struck off at given moment by the brain and
purpose of man." So the celebration of the
recurring anniversaries of its birth should be
made notable by serious efforts to acquaint all
citizens with this source of national greatness
and power.

Charter for a New World"

Woodrow Wilson's aptitude for phrase
making has suffered no check by reason of his
late experience Alongside the slogans he has
emitted since 1914 may be put his latest,
charter for new world" 1t will be ultimately
as irritating, perhaps, as his "sef-determina-
ton freedom of the seas and other aban-
doned or misappled aphorisms set aAoat by
him. The new world to which he is pointing
looks so much like the one we are living in
that it is hard to detect the difference. 1t
contains the same old problems of competition
between nations and individuals, of striving to
get ahead, with the unpleasant accompaniments
OF envy, jealousy, covetousness. all elements of
war; no phase of human nature changed, the
only alterations being some marks on the map
to designate boundaries that seemingly satisfy
no one. To gain this world he would obigate
his country in a way that many deem unwise.
Americans are not inclined to shirk any task or
responsibility, but it may be questioned if they
are ready Is accept the presidents assertion
that greater danger lies in trying to establish
a safeguard for the nation than in blind!y fol-
lowing him along any course he may select

character to justify his present claim.

The NeW Discoveries

Before this year has ended America will be
discovered by some 100000 soldier-adventur-
ers, coming from France to land unknown
They are officially styled the A. E. F.
1t was i'll France that they began their dis
coveries. Who knew that the Americans were
mad until the French announced it? Who
knew they were uncultured and wild until the
English published the fact? Who knew they
were warriors until the Germans cried out that
these men do not know how to fight, but they
win wars?
The new discoveries are Americans because
they have discovered what America is. They
will phrase it way or another but they
will know the truth What separates Amer
lea from Europe. eternally, rrevocably, is that
Americans do not think as Europeans do, nor
feel as they do. 1t is not question Of better
or worse; it is simple fact of difference
Most of us have hardly known that We are
Americans. Or we have imagined that full
Amercanism had something to do with citi-
zen papers The men who are coming know
better, and this knowledge makes their coming
an even greater event in our history than the
magnificent adventure of their setting forth

America before is going to happen again; ii

THE DYING SUMNER.

A wondrous beauty pervades the world
today, the closing hours Of summer bringing
such loneliness of earth and sky as blends
into the gorgeousness Of autumn and gives to
all the benson of natures opulence. The sun
is swinging to the south, the days are percepti-
bly, shorter, and the approach of the night and
death OF winter is surely heralded. Against thisis
set the fruitage of the season. All that was
promised of the rains of seed time and the fierce
heat of the growing days is now redeemed in
ripening fruits and grains Mother Earth has
again yielded her bounty, and the waning sum-
mer days are crowned with the plenty that
blesses man for his industry. Shortly the sea-
son will change, and the time of rest and sleep
will be upon US, to be in turn succeeded by the
awakening and the new growth.
Is it cause for marvel that man in the in
fancy Of the race found in the seasons a per-
feet symbolism of the life here and hereafter?
That he should read Nature and find in her
pages the evidences of God? The cycle of the
year so aptly illustrates the progress of birth,
growth, maturity and decay, following each
other in endless, immutabe procession that
the lesson could not be missed by the thought
full. Inspired by this led on from cause to eff
feet, the primitive seekers after truth eagerly
grasped the great lesson held out irr this never
changing example of the wisdom that rules the
universe.
so the rich sunlight, the invigoratng
breezes the soft skies and all the glorious pros
poets OF late summer, swiftly moving to the
end, teach similar truth today. Nature has
again completed the wonderful productive work
of perfect season, creative forces exerted to
the very utmost, and time for rest succeeds.
Not that the stiffness of winter betokens abso-
lutte death, for the processes eternal and
this also encourages the philosopher in his
faith. sustaining the thought of endless pro-
erosion. The world is sublime, but never
more beautiful than as the approach of the
autumnal equinox presages the close of summer

Eucken and MorulMu

Il appeal to the moral conscience of human
ity, Before the whole world | accuse the au-
thors of the monstrous peace terms of two
offenscs-of untruthfulness and OF dishonor-
able intent" ~
It is Professor Rudolf Eucken. the dean of
German philosophers who thus adds his voice
to the German symposium of protest against
the injustice. of the peace of Versailles Ac-
cording to him. the "untruthfuness" of the
allies consists in their failure to fulfill their
strument of international justice. Their dis
honorable intent nanfests itself in their
forcing the German people to consent to the
kaiser's trial. Professor Eucken calls on "the
philosophers of neutral countries to declare
openly whether they consider this purpose
moral or immoral"
If Professor Eucken would restrict himself
to saying that he regards the treaty, from the
German point of view, as not altogether salts
factory, he might be excused, but he ought to
raising the issues of truthfulness and of moral
ity. In September. 1914. Professor Eucken in
dorsed with his name and prestige the mani
festo of the 90 German professors containing
statements like these: 1T is not true that we
trespassed in neutral Belgium r.. 1t is no,
true that the life and property OF single Bel
gian citizen were in jured by our soldiers with.
out the bitterest selfdefense having made il
necessary. 1t is not true that our
troops treated Louvain brutality. 1t is
not true that our warfare pays no respect to
international law" And so on.
No discussion of the facts involved is pos
sble today. The assertions of the German
professors are recorded in the ledger Of history
as straight, unmitigated falsehoods. The men
who staked their regulations on them. and who
since, did not show the slightest inclination tc
recant and apologize. must be considered moral
bankrupts. Attempts on their part to invoke
truthfuness and morality merely reflect on
their intellectual solvency.-New York Tribune

Diseases of July and August.


These months stand forth promi-
nently in medical statistics as point
| ing out diseases requiring particular
attention, we are told by an editorial
writer in American Medicine New
| York, Juiy). BY way of example, ne
says, one need but note the tendency
for typhoid fever and malaria to in
crease markedly, despite the fact
that methods for their control are
thoroughly understood. He goes on:
THE vacation tendency is respon-
sible for many deaths, particularly
| those of violent nature. During
| 1918 approximately 20 per cent of
the deaths from violent causes &C.
Cured during these two months.
! The increased use Of automobiles,
! the extension Of transportation, the
! growing speed along the highways
| suffice to account for the fact that
the mortality from violent causes in
| 1915 was fully 5000 more than dur
| ing the year 1911. The Safety-First
| Movement has much to accomplish
in this direction. although the
marked decrease due to the institu-
ton of a safe and sane. Fourth of
July has had some effect upon the
relative mortality, even If it. has not
greatly affected the total results. A
| considerable Improvement has been
noted in deaths from congenital de-
| bility, excluding premature births,
! which, as q rule, begin to increase
during the month Of July. A note
i worthy decrease in deaths from this
, cause to the extent of 1900 lives
was evidenced in 1916 over 1911. 1t
/ is striking to note that the gross
| mortality from diarrhea and enteritis
under two years decreased very
slightly during the five-year interval
from 1911 to 1916, though the total
figures referred to must be recog
| nlzed as representing results from
larger registration area during 1915,
than during 1911. Despite this fact,
however, there was a total decrease
of approximately 1000 recorded
deaths from the cause under discus
sion. That this effect is real rather
than apparent is shown by gross
increase of 800 deaths from diarrhea
and enteritis, two years and over.
in the same five-year period. For
tunately, the summer Is not the time
for epidemics of contagious diseases,
and m easles, scarlet fever, whooping
cough. diphtheria, influenza, and
even tuberculosis show considerably
lowered mortalities beginning with
July. Bronchitis. bronchial pneu-
monia similarly are RELATIVELY mac
tive during the hottest months of
the year. The main factors appar-
emily involved in the mortality of
July and August include flies and
mosquitoes, a lack. Of sanitation of
food and water supplies, the depress-
ing effects of high, heat and humid
ity, and a lack of precaution against
the hazards involved in transporta-
ton of various kinds, plus the
dangers inherent in the games and
sports of the summer time"
