MORE THAN A FARMERS PROB
LEM.

Senator kenyon OF Iowa is urging
that western senators and congress
men get together in a conference fol
the purpose of considering the prob
lens OF the farmers. He declares
that he himself will take the lead in
calling and preparing for such con
ference.
This is but another straw indicat-
ing the direction that the wind is be-
ginning to blow. The nation Is slow
: ly Weakening to the Importance of the
farmers problem. The public is be-
ginning to realize that the farmer
fills the dinner pail md that he can
not long continue to fill it under
present adverse conditions. The
farmers of this country will not walk
out on strike, but they will inevitably
reduce production unless production
is made profitable. and the result to
the general consuming puolic in
either case would be shortage OF food
and clothing.
The problem that is gripping the
attention of the people throughout the
country today is not, as many would
uppos a farmers problem pri-
marily. The public is not becoming
deeply interested in the farmer as an
individual entitled to bet5sr thar he
gets. The public is Interested in it's
own selfish needs. The problem of
production and a profit there from is
not, In it's final analysis, a farmers
problem, but a problem involving the
welfare-in fact the very safety-of
the whole American people.
1t is indeed well that leaders be-
stir themselves to face things as
they are, for the day IS fraught with
~stupendous possibilities FIR coed or
harm. With constructive activities,
based upon sound principles, taking
into consideration tie needs of both
producer and consumer, the POSSIBLE
ties for national good will be realized.

the report, "that educational op-

are inferior to those offered the
children in cities or industrial

higher in the rural than in the

Delaware Interested In
Americas Gift To France

The people Of Delaware are
much interested in the MacMon-
MES statue, Americas gift to
France to be erected on the battle
field of the Marine.
Governor John G. Townsend has
agreed to serve as honorary chair
man, and Henry p. Scott active
chairman for the State.
Complete organization has not
yet been made.
The project is one that will meet
with general approval among the
people, and especially among the
school children, who will be asked
to contribute penny each, but no
subscriptions or collections will be
taken in the schools. As the a.
mount necessary to be raised to
pay for the execution Of the statue
and its transportation is only about
$25O,OOO for the entire country, no
large subscriptions or donations
will be expected from anyone. 1t
is desired to have as many as pos
sible represented in the payment
Of the cost Of the statue, making
it in fact gift of the people, as
was the Bartholdi Statue Of Liber-
ty, in New Pork harbor, from the
French to the American people in
1885.
The statue will be that of a
woman, beautiful though worn
and beaten down by the storm of
battle, who rises undaunted and
raises aloft her flag of liberty, for
which her sons and our have died
1t will be erected on the spot mark,

advance toward Paris, when check,

Too Many American-Born
Children Are Illiterate

That many American-born child
rem are growing up illiterate is
shown by figures given in the
seventh annual report Of the chief
of the Children's Bureau of the u.
S. Department of Labor. There
figures were collected in connec-
tion with the bureaus admins
tration Of the Child Labor Act of
1916 which was later declared un-
constitutional. They cover five
States in which the employment
of children was general.
Of 1896 children between IA
and 16 years old to whom certifi-
Gates were issued, more than one
fourth could not write their names
legibly. Nearly 10 per cent had
never gone beyond the first grade
and considerably more than half
were in the fourth grade or lower
when they left school. Only about
three per cent were in eighth
grade and about one in a hundred
had reached high school.
These children were, as has been
stated, native Americans. Of the
whole number only "a were for
eign-born. The responsibility for
their neglect, the report points
out, is not merely local one. The
United States is now offering to
the States financial assistance and
expert advice in providing for the
vocational education of children.

What America Needs

America needs re-birth Amer
icanism. What does that mean?
America was born amid the tur-
moils of the old world from which
it sought escape. America lifted
it's head after great sacrifice of
men and treasure.
American men and women built
a temple of freedom founded on
human liberty and independence
from foreign political entangle-
ments.
American heroes and heroines
crowned that temple with patriot
ism, national spirit and protection
from enemies without and within.
Since 1916, in some quarters, the
Declaration of independence and
the Federal Constitution have lost
their influence and power. The
principles and beliefs of the faith
ers of the Republic have been pro-
nounced "old stuff"
No longer is it patriotic or fash
ionable in some minds to cling to
the fundamentals of American
citizenship and Constitutional OBJ
legations.
New Freedom "world broth
erhood," personal liberty" and
"free speech and free pen" are the
shibboleths of the hour and the
tests of Americanism-in some
quarters. No longer are American
traditions to be praised! They
are to be apoligized for.
Whatever virtue there may be
in any international league it must
not eclipse America and American
nationality. Whatever measure of
need there may be of world sup
er-government, America must not
be permitted to drift.
Americanism is above and be-
yond party. Nevertheless it is
we'll to measure and credit all
parties according to their tend
encies and their merit. 1t is just
to all concerned most of all to
America-to admit that the larg-
est contributions to this re-birth
of Americanism must come from
one hundred per cent Americans
those who place America above
all other countries and who are
unwilling to surrender a single
atom of American sovereignty
or American power which has cost
so much.
The American spirit is an attri
butte of the heart. 1t partakes OF
that sort of patriotism and love
of country which no foreign al
| lurements can shake. It invites
all who will partake of and pro
tect that spirit to come to oul
shores. 1t warns all who view
America with foreign eyes ant
tolerate America with an alier
heart, either not to come here OF
not to remain.
There is no half way point be
tween loyalty and. disloyalty
Every man and woman living il
America must be wholly one OF
the other.
The Republican party invites tt
it's ranks all who are one hundred
per cent American, who love theil
country above all other countries
and who are willing to fight fol
the American spirit, American
ideals and American traditions
against all corners.
