Rooseyelt's Last Message.

In what was to be his farewell to the
nation he loved so ardently and so
nobly served, Theodore Roosevelt reit-
Grated that doctrine of absolute, undi-
vided Americanism wnerewith he
awakened and inspired his countrymen
two years ago. Read on the last
night of his life, his last public words
are clothed for us now with deeper
significance and solemnity.
Mr.. Roosevelt referred to the propos-
ed revival Of "all foreign associations
which most directly interfere with the
complete AUGMENTATION of our peo-
ple." The immigrant who in good
faith becomes an American and as
Stimulates himself with the rest of u.s.,
,"must be treated on an exact equality
with everyone else" That must be our
principle. There must be no discrim-
nation on account of "creed or BIRTH
place or origin" in the case of any
man who becomes "an American and
nothing but an American" But
eff he tries to keep segregated with
men of his own origin and separated
from the rest of America, then he isn't
doing his part as an American. There
can be no divided allegiance here. Any
man who says he is an American, but
something else also, isn't an Ameri-
can at all. We have room for but one
flag, the American flag, and this ex-
cludes the red flag, which symbolizes
all wars against liberty and civiliza-
ton, just as much as it excludes any
foreign flag of nation to which we
are hostile We have room but for
one language here, and that is the En-
glish language, for we intend to see
that the crucible turns our people out
as Americans, of American nationally,
and not as jewellers in polyglot
boarding house; and we have room
for but one soul loyalty, and that is
loyalty to the American people,"
One common language, one country,
one allegiance, one loyalty, one flag;
an America Of nothing but Americans!
Against the forces of division, disrup-
ton, separatism, seeking to destroy
the solidarity Of the peoples and the
unity of states, against the renewal of
alien intrigues and racial particular
isms, the voice of Theodore Roosevelt
sounded a solemn warning in this last
message-New York Times.

The One-Man Farm.

The rarest workman in America,
probably the srarest anywhere, is the
competent farm hand. He must have
farm sense and experience, initiative
and self control, and be so faithful
that he will do full days IVORY with
out supervision. Few but farmers
sons can qualify for this work, and
many farmers sons do not.
Exasperated by incompetent and
dishonest farm labor, farmers are
turning to tractors and gang
plows and motor-driven machin-
cry of all sorts in order that they and
their sons may multiply their labor
production and be rid Of the pestilent
field loafer Some relief has come in
this way. Machinery will continue to
multiply the power of the farmer and
his family, but it cannot eliminate the
human hand in stock farming.
There is a certain balance between
farm acreage and population of live
stock that must be maintained, if the
soil is to be kept productive. And more
live stock means more hand labor.
Modern farm equipments aid the live
stock farmer, but human hand must
be on the domestic animal if it is to be
made profitable to it's owner. A COM
petent stock hand is even rarer than
a competent field hand.
The farmer and his sons are 'the
ideal farm laborers. But his sons are
not steady factor in his labor prob
lem. Schooling takes it's share OF
their time; and about when the son
becomes an able farm hand, he is
eager to leave the parental farm for
business Of his own. If the farmer
is to be rid of the problem Of regular
hired labor, he must cut his farm to
suit the size of his family.
This means that the average farm
of the future will be smaller. But if
farming is to be made mode Of living
rather than a money-making enter
prise, this one-family farm may be
better venture than the extensive
farm with it's vexatious labor problem.

Tanks May Tow Baraes.

When the swords are beaten into
plowshares, what Is to happen to the
tanks? Many people must have asked
themselves this question, and @. ].
Aubertain's recent article in the Lon
don News suggests IN answer, for,
with slight notifications, the "whip-
pets" at any rate, might well be used
as tractors on the towpaths Of our
reconstructed state canals. The French
government, I am told, observes a
writer in the Edinburgh Scotsman, has
made experiments already in this very
direction and has found that a light
tank is capable Of hauling four fully
laden barges at a speed Of two miles
ar hour, which is about twice that
of a horse. Mechanical traction has
been employed on ONE of the Ger
man canals for some considerable time.

A Fatal Accident

A very unfortunate accident occur
red last Thursday evening resulting in
the death of n citizen. and injuries
to two others. Louis Novak was
coming to town with his auto, and
was accompanied by Harry Immick
and Joe ~Trutnovsky. When turning
the corner at John F. Schmidt's place
at too high a rate of speed, the auto
upset and MIR. Novak was instantly
killed. Mr.. ~Trutnovsky escaped with
only slight bruises, but Mr.. Immick
was injured so badly that he was
rushed to the hospital at Yankton.
His Injuries, while somewhat painful,
were found to be not serious. Mr..
Novak was working the farm south of
town owned by his father, Jas. No
yak, and the two boys with him were
employed by him on the farm. His
brother, Ted. Novak. who had been
associated with him, died a few
months ago with the flu. The funeral
of Louis was held at the Methodist
church last Sunday afternoon, the SER
vices being conducted by Rev. Lang
don, and the remains were escorted by
the members of the Modern Woodmen
lodge. of which he was a member.
Another brother of the deceased.
Wesley Novak, has been in the SER
vice in France. but has recently land
ed in this country, and on his return
he will take charge of the farm. This
sudden calamity, coming so soon after
the death of his brother. is a double
affiiction on the aged parents and 9TH
er members of the family, and the
sympathy of the community will be
extended to them.
