selection or combination Of several
methods applicable to the different

principles laid down and bearing the
Endorsement of having been proven in
actual practice.
/ We must stop the concentration Of
/ our workers in big Cities" Lane says.
II we are to solve for long the prob
lem Of soaring food prices. Consu.
mers are increasing more rapidly than
producers. There is no reason why a
very large percentage of our shop and
millmen could not produce much of
their own food, II our factories and
shops were located with view to the
well-being and comfort Of the men
and their families as well as to the
convenience and comfort of capital
i know of one mill town where
every worker has home with from
half an acre to an acre Of ground
around 1t. Each has his own garden
enough to produce all the vegetables
his family needs. Each Of them has a
pig or two and most OF them a COW.
Each has flock Of chickens.
There is a method that capital
should consider in the location OF fu.
ture industries. That alone would
help not only the workers at plants SO
located, but would relieve the cost of
living pressure and those who still
must live in cities. It would relieve
transportation and in many other ways
contribute to general betterment of
all concerned"

ARGENTINE STYLE.

Because of censorship the world was prevented from learning the details of the revolutionary out breaks in Argentina early in the year. Ostensibly advertised as labor troubles, they amounted to an effort to overthrow the government, says the Cincinnati Enquirer Now it is known that 5000 people lost their lives in the fighting in and about Buenos Aires, and that because of
 the five months paralysis of the
 port facilities that dread disease, the bubonic plague, came ashore and is slowly spreading in the poorer quar- ters.
 Appalled,, as we'll as angered by these misfortunes, the authorities of
 the Argentine government are nov ling in a decisive manner to punish those responsible for them and to prevent a recurrence of the rioting.
 There have been arrested and im- mured about 800 agitators, country men and compatriots of Lenine and
 Trotsky, and, as soon as the ships
 can be secured, they are to be taken back to Russia and thrown ashore
 with the warning that if they at tempt to return to Buenos Aires they will be hanged.
 For this remedial process it can be said that, even if it is drastic and contrary to high ideals, it IS lat least effcacious during critical times. Authority to apply it in this country might be considered by Con-
 gress as a part of the reconstruc- tion program. Russia should not be allowed to languish for the socie-y of these, her children, at a time
 when there is demand for a spread of the doctrine of untrammeled free dom in that reeking laboratory of social experiment.

ABSURD.
The attempt of the First division

The attempt of the First division to secede from the Territory of Alaska and become a separate ter ritory, while occasioning no surprise to the residents of the Second, Third and Fourth divisions, is so frivolous as to be absurd, remarks the Valdez Miner. The claim by the residents of that division, as enunciated by the citizens of Ketchikan, that the First division produces practically all the money to maintain the ter itory, and therefore the First di- vision should have the bulk of the moneys appropriated, is another bit of bunk which will tickle the risi- bilities of residents of the territory, who will view the attempt of the tail to wag the dog with much mer- riment. If the citizens of the First division are attempting to perpe- trate joke, we are willing to laugh with the bunch; but if in earnest, we would suggest that it take a look-see at the figures before cutting of from the territorial pay. roll. We know not what meat our Ceasar has fed on to grow so great.

immediate membership in the League of Nations. If the Allies should make the blunder of exchanging views with the Germans, the enemy will get the better of the argument, for peace is reace, not ermity, and any world league of peace must necessarily include Germany.
 The league cooked up in Paris is poorly constructed alliance against Germany so long as it conspicuous ly excludes Germany as unfit to be a member Germany is unit to as sociate with free nations, and there fore there should te no pretense tnat the league is anything brt an alliance against her. It is the per sistent misrepresentation of the league that makes for trouble. It Is pictured to be what 1t is not. It is credited with powers that it does not possess unless they are usurped, and it IS described as a preventive of war when it is really an enemy of peace.
 The reassuring feature of the present situation is the firm deter of the European leaders to bind Germany fast, in spite of the complications that have been caused by injecting the League of Nations scheme into the proceed ings. With Germany bound to com ply with rigid peace terms, the world can brush aside the rubbish of the covenant" and main tain human liberty by the open, association of free na- tions, each absolutely untrammeled in its own sovereign sphere
