if he will. 1t but recently that he led
a successful campaign for municipal reform
in Philadelphia, arraying and directing the
very "Prosressives" whose arch enemy he
so long had been. Above all, however, SEN
ator Penrose is devoted to the Republican
organization. Loyal to the point of self-ef-
Placement where the fortunes of the G. o.
p. are at stake, he will yield personal
preference for party advantage, and go far
in compromise to secure harmony.
In the light of these characteristics, what
is likely to be his course as the dominant
hand in the Chicago convention? His will
be the task very largely, it is expected, of
reconciling antagonistic groups and forging
them into an efficient machine for the com
ing campaign. Obviously, then, he will not
stand persistently out for Senator Knox if
party interests require the abandonment Of
his own choice. Just as obviously however,
he will direct his influence to the support
of the conservative distinguished from
the radical forces of the convention. In
deed, he would be out and out for "stand-
patlsm' of the straitest sect if the situa-
ton allowed, for of all the Old Guard none

The sharpest clash probably will come
between his clan and that of Hiram John
son, though there promises to be some
vigorous fitting well with the ranks of
General Wood who will enter the conven-

popular sentiment behind him.
To bring about a workable compromise
among these contrary elements will be
Senator Penrose's problem-a problem rem
dered peculiarly difficult by his party's ut
ter lack of constructive purpose and moral
stamina. 1t is a mere political game that he
is to play; but for that very reason it is
doubtful that his match will be found in
the Chicago convention, nor will it be very
surprising if he manipulates the nomina-
ton to Senator Knox.

-HE last five years have been the most
prosperous in the history of the New
South and they have been also the
most progressive in Southern agriculture.
The latter fact explains the former. Rooted
as it is in industries of the soil, the whole
business life of this region flourishes or
droops according to the fortunes of the farm.
Manufacturing, it is true, has become
vital member Of our economic body; and
there is hardly a form of productiveness,
whether Of loom or forge or mine, but adds
it's tribute to the stream of DiXie's wealth.
Still. the heart of it all is agricultural, so
that if we find the distinctive tendencies of
our farming in the five thriving years just
behind us we shall have discovered the main
elements in our heightened prosperity.
Consider, then, the fact that whereas
from 1910 through 1914 the acreage de-
voted to cotton in ten Southern States was
forty-fve per cent of that given to all crops,
from 1915 to 1919 it was only thirty-nine
per cent; and for the year 1919 itself, only
thirty-sx per cent These States-Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, North and South Carolina, Okla
homa and Texas-supply approximately
ninety-fve per cent of Americas cotton out
put. Cotton has been, until rather recently,
their sovereign hope in things agricultural
not only their chief money crop but a
virtual autocrat, requiring the greater part
of their labor and minimizing if not ex-
Guiding other lines of staple production.
Thus it was that these States fell far short
of seIf-sustainment in the matter Of food
stuffs and spent the profits of their cotton
for importations of grain, meat, hay and like
necessaries. Thus it was, moreover, that
their soil, drained by an unbroken success
ion of exhausting cotton yields, began to-
decline. Had this state Of affairs continued
a decade or so longer, not only the flow
but the very springs of our prosperity would
have been threatened.
1t is Of the utmost Importance, there
fore, that between 1914 and 1919 the cot
ton acreage decreased from forty-fiVe to
thirty-nine per cent of the total and in
1919 to thirty-six per cent. This was &C
complished by a corresponding increase in
other crops and by remarkable expansions
in animal husbandry. The agricultural
change is shown in the following table from
Commerce Monthly, the percentages given
being for fve-year averages and for the sin
gle year 1919:
Crop 1904 1858 1919

cent to paper manufactures, and from ten
to ninety-three per cent in the olVers
branches of the textile industry. In all these
and other urban occupations the call OF
high wages, short hours and town lie mas
drawn multitudes from rural labor.
Mere complaint at this state OF aftalrs IS
bootless. So long as human nature remains
as it is, men will leave the seemingly hafd-
er for the seemingly easier way, although
in the long run they rue the exchange Soon
or late there must be return to the farm.
The present production of food will not
suffice for ever increasing population,
and the glamor of high wages will fade
when it is realized that they .erve chiefly
to increase the cost of bread and meat.
Excuses and Interpretations all balance
themselves in the course of time, and SO
at last will this one.
1t is none the less important however,
that everything feasible be done to make
farm life attractive to the rising generation
and rewardful as we'll. Better schools, bet
ter roads, more domestic comforts and more
social Observation-Disclosures will prove draw
ing powers Of great force and will hasten
a truly constructive solution Of many OF
the stubbornest problems of tho time.

HIGH PRICE OF VENGEANCE
BV DR.. Frank Crane

One of the highest priced commodities on
the market is Vengeance 1t has not been
affected by the postwar advance in the cost
of everything, for it has always been expen-
sive.
And, a curious thing, high priced luxury
though it be-, the fool poor indulge in it
quite as much as the fool rich. What soul
so destitute as to deny itself the luxury of
it's little retaliations
Just now the Allies and the u S. A. (the
latter insists upon the distinction) are on
the way to pay roundly for the pleasure Of
Vengeance Far be it from the writer to say
word against hating the Germans and Aus
trians, for that is the tardy test of patriot
ism, simple, too, and so easily applied;
and deportation worse awaits those who
use the command, "Love your enemies" for
anything else than Sabbath consumption;
but attention may be called to the folloWing
considerations:
Pursue the policy of hate and hostility
toward the population of Central Europe,
visit the sins of the Junkers upon their
dupes and victims, the common people, and
you will
1. Promote all those passions that breed
wars keep alive the seed of future war,
and produce the maximum amount OF un-
happiness and violence possible between the
two parties
2. Prevent the prosperity of the German
neople. which alone can enable them to pay
WHAT Cu6y owe us
3. Prevent industrial cooperation between
Germany and the allied nations, which would
make Germany world asset instead or q
world liability, and discourage schemes OF
future vengeance.
4. Keep alive Junkerism, Militarism' dis
eased nationalism
<. Drive Germany and Austria into the
arms of Russia, thus building up and
Strengthening a vast political, sentimental
and industrial menace to Western Europe
and America.
The eternal mistake the world goes on
making is that the ethics Of the state are
different from the ethics of the 1ndlVldual.
They are not; they are the same
If it pays, in the long run, for one man
to forgive his enemy, forget grudges and re-
turn good for evil it pays million men,
or the nation, just a million times as
much.
Of course, if you believe that forgiving
enemies is slush and bosh, why, that is an
other story. Enjoy yourself. Get your ven
geance. But it sure comes high.

The Dominant Politician In
The Chicago ConUentton.

A POTENT figure in the forthcoming
~ Republican National Convention
the prepotent figure, many observers
think-Will be Senator Boise Penrose, of
Pennsylvania. politician of the sturdiest
and at the same time astutest type, con-
trolling the seventy-six delegates from his
own State and influencing as many more
by way of entente cordiale, knowing
the conventions depths and shoals, it's
winds and currents and myriads possibili-
ties with the thorougnness of a veteran
mariner in such waters he may we'll play
the determining part in the Republican
Presidential nomination.
His own first choice, it appears, is his
colleague Senator Knox. The two are old
allies and personal friends. Senator Knox,
the story goes, once remarked, eff Senator
Penrose had not been SO absorbed in po-
litical detail, he would have made states
man of the highest rank" 1t is to the lat
ter's absorption in political detail" how
ever, that Knox. who has never fancied the
chickering's and bowings Of electoral politics,
owes his toga. So, at least say the knowing
ones in Pennsylvania, who recall in this
connection the furious muckracking of
1912 when Penrose, speaking in the open
Senate charged that former State Senator
William Finn, of Pittsburgh, had offered
him and Israel W. Durham one million, or
even two Million dollars if they would sup
port Finn for the seat in the Senate made
vacant by the defeat of Senator Quay
which offer, Senator Penrose said, was de-
clined, the honor going to Philander G.
Knox" The incident is noteworthy show

THE DRUG PROBLEM
By H. Addington Bruce

r HAVE lately been reading a book which
doubtless will have, and certainly should
have, wide circulation-CharleS B. Towns
Habits That Handicap" 1t is book of sound
information and earnest warning regarding one
of the most serious problems of tOday-the
problem of drug addiction.
Many people imagine that in the United
States this problem has already been largely
solved by the enactment of So-called anti
drug laws. Actually, as Mr.. Towns insists from
long and Seachng inquiry, drug addictOnS are
on the increase rather than on the decline
at is conServatively estimated" he informs
mately million and half victims of habit
forming drugs alone { to mention the devo-
tees of rum, headache powders, ether, and fla
vorng extracts.
"Probably 2 per cent. of all practising ply
sicanS and thousands of nurses and druggists
are addicted to narcotics. And the ranks of the
drug victims are being added to at the rate
of an additional hundred. thousand new recruits
every year"
Also, as helping to explain why drug addic-
ton is so common:
at is the American type of individual
highly nervous, constantly living under pres
sure, always going to the full limit or even
beyond--who is most prone to physical or nerv-
drugs.
"a surprising number of are hypochon-
driacal by nature, prone to take something
when we feel badly. And no combination
WHICH allows the plySlOlOSlCdl tIIGlS Vi d uIuS
to become manifest is less injurious less
habit-forming than would be the drug itself
taken alone.
"This is true of every elixir Cough medi-
cine' tonic 'Sedative,' 'narcotic,' hypnotic
no matter how prettily panelled their con-
tainer, how beautifully they may be colored,
or how pleasantly they may have been made
to taste"
That is to say, drug addiction in most cases
is not a matter of deliberate resort to NOR
phine, cocaine, etc, as a means Of stimulation
1t is product of unwiSe use of drug contain-
ing medicines for the relief of mental or
physical pain.
And in large measure, the mental or physical
pain for which habit-forming medicines are
taken is itself a product of faulty habits of
thinking and living-habtS which breed nerv-
BUSINESS and the insomnia dyspepsia, headaches
and backacheS of nervousness.
Consequently, the correct solution of the
drug problem is not by anti-drug legislation
alone Supplementing the anti-drug legislation
there must be public education-such as Mr..
Towns aims to provide l.. the present book-re-
garding the habit-forming possibilities of many
drugs now commonly thought harmless.
And still more there is needed public edu-
cation regarding ways and means of getting
the moral pose, mental outlook, and nerve con-
troll, for lack of which arise the depressing and
painful conditions tending to the habitual taking
of drugs. Without education to this end the
drug. problem is sure forever to plague and
perplex u.s.
