malicious lettering by radical com. munist and Socialist wOrkmen; but the wiser workmen are losing patience with those elements and are denounc- ing them openly. The growing willing ness to work Is also shown by a vol untary return to payment by the piece on the part of workmen in some es- tablishments. Not long ago a vote was taken by the workmen of all the shipyards of the country on this ques- tion; but a considerable majority was cast against pieeework. This week, however, the workmen in several big shipyards at Hamburg and Lubeck have voted for piecework.
 Applied Socialism War.
 The same thing has occurred in oth- CT parts of the country. In all such cases 1t is the worlmen themselves who act; any pressure from the out side would only make matters worse. The hopeful thing in all this is that it is the older, more reliable workmen who are taking matters into their own hands, with the determination to sup press the young, unruly clements which had taken control of shop or ganization in many towns.
 But, looking further into the future, most German manufacturers just now are filled with grave misgivings about the development of the relations be- tween capital and labor. The National Assembly is soon to pass a law for the establishment of shop councils which embodies the highest reach of applied socialism that the world has yet wit l messed.
 It will provide for the election of shop councils i'll all manufacturing and commercial establishments, except the 1 smallest ones; and these councils will | be entitled to elect one or two repre- sentatives in the boards of directors with all the rights of "pay" members They will make known the wishes of the working force and will be entitled to vote on all questions
 But big public expenditures and big plans for taxation supply other grounds for deep discontent. Erz- berger sees clearly the need of a huge increase in revenues and he is setting about the task of passing laws to get it without much regard for all those local interests which are still so strong in Germany. Under the ante-bellum sys- tenn the national treasury had to take back seat as against the states. The latter claimed the big reyenue-produc- ing taxes, the income and general property taxes, as their own peculiar preserves, and the nation was warned to keep off the grass. Erzberger has changed all that. under the stress of the huge revenue demands of the na- tion. He has made the nation supreme in taxation. The income and property taxes now belong primarily to it. The states can get only certain propor- tion of the revenues raised by the na- tion.-William c. Dreher in New York Tribune.

Gan Do But Little Alone, But With the Help of the Faculty and Peo- pie Much Can Be Ac-
 complished.

Fayettcville-Dr. Bradford Knapp new dean of the University of Arkan- sas, for the last nine years chief of Extension in the South has assumed bis duties
 Doctor Knapp, in a statement, told 0f his plans for immediate work, and of the ultimate gain hoped for. All Farmers and farmers organizations in Arkansas were called upon to co-ope- rate with Dean Knapp's forces in de- veloping the chief source of produc- tiyeness of the agriculture.
 T am very happy to come to Ar Kansas, for many reasons" said Dean Knapp. Tt is a commonwealth of Wonderful resources. With all it's Possibilities, agriculture will always remain it's chief source of production and it's main reliance.
 ITO develop here a College of Agri- culture which will serve the people well will be our chief task. I propose to measure the quality of it's service now and in the future by the amount of prosperity and happiness it can add to the lives of the people of the State, especially in the country and on the farms. The college must train young men and women for lives of Usefulness in agriculture and home making; it must find the answer to the perplexing problems through it's Experiment station and the branches Through the state, and 1t must make its knowledge and experience, gath cred from every source, available to the farmers of the state through an efficient extension service.
 T am deeply interested in practical problems. Not only production, but Finances for farmers and their great problems of farm management, distris button and marketing must be studied and worked out along praeti- csI lines No work of this kind can hope to succeed without cooperation and united effort Good work has been done by many forces in the state; credit should be given them Fully and freely. Let us start with these things and build up from them. The College of Agriculture of the Uni yersity will be interested in the suc- cess of every worthy public and pri- vate enterprise affecting the agricul- ture of Arkansas. Their success will be it's desire I shall hope for the cooperation of farmers and farmers organizations in Arkansas and 1ar that of the business men as well. am deeply grateful for the assurance of good will and the promise of CO., pperation from all parts of the state.
 Alone, I can do but little; with the help of the faculty here, and of the people of the state, much can be ac- complished Our first work here will be to go over the situation at the University and study the agricultural problems of the state and then outline a program of work which will bring the greatest possible benefit to the Farming people of Arkansas, with the assurance that if they prosper all other interests will prosper with 4bam"

Gus CUTTING OF MARRIAGES
Eppler Bill Before Maryland Legisla-
ture Would Abolish All Havens
For Hasty Weddings. Z.

Despite healthy public sentiment at
Elkton, Md, against hasty marriages,
for which the Eastern Shore town has
become famous as Maryland's Gretna
Green, the Representatives of Cecil
county are reported not to be keen
for Senator Eppler's bill which re-
quires four days to elapse between
tie issuance of a license and the mar
riage ceremony, and which also raises
the marriageable age of women from
16 to Is years. If the bill should be-
come a law it would seriously inter-
fere with the thriving industry of
about Is automobile drivers and of
three or four preachers at Elkton. ,
The bill is designed by Senator Ep-
pier to stop hasty marriage of couples
from West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania, who HE to Cumberland, the
county seat of Allegheny, pay 81 for
a marriage license, and then are
whirled to the parsonage of the
| preacher who pays the highest fees
to the automobile driver who conveys
the couples anxious to wed. Only q
few minutes elapse between the drying
of the ink on the license issued by
the clerk of the court and the tying
of the nuptial knot.
Senator Eppler's bill would effacC
the practice not only at Cumberland
but also at Elkton, Hagerstown
Rockville and Ellicott City, all o.
which are easy of access from adjoin
ing States and from large cities. 1
four days are permitted to interven
between the grant of the license an,
