. 4 the Nation is becoming conviction
among d1sinterested persons who
STUDY hef agricultural possibilities Governor
LoWden, of Illinois, is among those who an
ptecIate the possibilities of the South as
MltnesS the Following expression from a re-
cent adaress he delivered at Memphis:
nave said it for 0 years, and have
stated 1t oftener in the North than 7
nave in the South, because have snant
more tme IN the North than [ have in
the South, that no living man can esti5
~ Ht@tG the agricultural value of the South
TO the United States, and I believe that
more strongly now than [ have at anv
Tune IN the past
+ Inns IS high praise, indeed, from the chief
MAGISTRATE OF one of our greatest agricultural
states. Inc productivity of Illinois soil is
pFoYerblal But Governor Lowden is right in
MS confessed lnablllty to estimate the agri-
States ~ WV 01il'0"
The Manufacturer Record takes his Mem
phlsl speech as the text of an iIIuminating
edHoral on the potentiaities of the South
anu anu declares that his message will carry
weight throughout the nation. The Record
points out that Governor Lowden is in y
pQsHlon to discuss the agricultural Dossibili-
I tles OF the South, since he is a. practical
farmer who for many years has been farming
IN both the West and South
The Governor declared that for ten wears
he has been visiting the South, while for
twenty years he has been farming in Illinois.
! After visiting Cuba and investigating it's
| lands he said he had returned to the United
| States and invested in alIuyiaI lands in this
region.
Having heard about the Imperial Valley
OF California" said he, II spent a winter
there, and after careful study Of its soil j
| turned again to the South and bought more
lands. Wherever | have gone in this country
or in any other have seen no lands that in
my opinion are the equal Of the aIluyial lands
OF the Southern States.'
Governor Lowden spoke at length CON
corning the Potentially OF the South for the
cultivation Of grain and the production of
live stock. He said: 1T did seem to me as
though in some sort Of way duty was laid
upon the South to become the great beef and
! pork producing section of the United States.
You have an advantage here which would be
OF immense value TO us in the North. At
least ten months, in the year your cattle can
live out in the open; with us in Northern
Illinois five months is about all we can count
upon averaging"
Happily the farmers of the South at last
/ are awakening to the posi- biIities of the sec
tiCn for the production Of beef and pork.
In Georgia and neighboring States the cattle
raising industry is growing by leaps and
bounds, and il will be d few years only be-
fore the Southern country take the lead in
| this industry. .ys-. n

UTASHINGTON,a D. c. Jan 1G-Should
l&NM "a worker receive Just as much money
as his work is worth; as compared
with other work in the amount of ability and
energy it requires; or, if he is able and is
permitted to do the work at all, should he
receive enough money with which to keep
himself and his family adequately clothed
and nourished? @
In other words, when it comes to fixing the
amount of the reward which society is going
to give an individual for his time and energy,
should an effort be made to compute the
! amount in money which his time and energy
are WORTH or should the effort be directed to
finding out the least amount upon which
he and his family live, and should that
be made the basis of pay?
This question. which is interesting to ev-
cry individual who works for a salary or a
wage, and has been raised in connection with
the work of the Redistribution commission,
which is making study of the salaries paid
to government employees.
The question of government salaries is at
tracing widespread attention. There are
several reasons for this. In the first place,
more than 100 900 Americans now work for
the government in Washington alone. This
means that about one worker in every two
hundred works for the government, and the
percentage of Americans who work for the
government tends constantly to increase.
Furthermore, the government employees are
typical SalarI6Q workers.. 1t IS generally COIL
ceded that theEsalaried worker at large has
suffered more from the rise in the cost of
living than has either the laborer who is a
member of union or tie capitalist who lives
on the income from invested funds. The
cause of the salaried government employe is
in some sense the cause of the salaried man
everywhere, and the salaried class is there
fore keenly Interested to know how the gov
eminent workers are going to come out in
their effort to get higher pay and especially
in the theory upon which that compensation
is to be based.
In the debate on the question with which
the article begins brilliant arguments have
been made on both sides Our object here
is to set forth these arguments fairly.
The argument of the government clerks
is briefly this: In the last thirty years their
average advancement in salary has been
slight-varying from nothing to fifty per
~cent with an average probably somewhere
around twenty or twenty-five per cent-and
during the same period the cost of living has
more than doubled. Therefore, they assert,
they are unable to live upon the amounts
now paid them. They demand large in
| creases, primarily on the ground that they
must have enough to live on. This is the
chief object from the individual point of
view. But from the social point of view,
they contend that the whole nation must SUI
fer if these increases are not granted, be-
cause men cannot and will not work for less

THE TEN POINTS OF
AMERICANISM
By DR.. Frank Crane

When we are urged to teach AmericaniSnl
We often do not have clear idea of what ex-
actly to teach. a guide to the teacher of
the immigrant or of the youth the following
ten points may be helpful 49,"
1, Teach American HiStory-the main points
not too much detail Emphasize biography
which is always more interesting and useful
shan dates and theories. Make real the lives
of such men as Washington, Franklin, Linco :.
D. Teach that in Am RIGA are No Glasses.
Station in life is not fixed, neither b. birth,
race, nor circumstance. What any man or WONT
an may become depends entirely upon the In
dividuaL &."itf ... |'..F5@:+
!. Teach Democracy, and how it is not, and
does not claim to be, a perfect system of gov
eminent, but is the only kind of government
in !he world under which the people Ghe ma
JCrlty of the people) get What they pant.
a. Teach the importance of Education, that
every child may attend school free and if he
does not he is wronging himself and his coun-
Try. Ignorance is Americas greatest enemy
possibly the only one to fear. Emphasize the
importance, of learning the English language.
). Teach Politics, our system of State and
Natio2al government, and the duty of every
one to inform and interest himself in public
affairs.
g.. Teach Law and Order, and that any one
who breaches violence has no place in Ameri-
ca. Here the door is open; and any one who
wants to break it down is fool or crimi-
nal, or both.
Teach how to be a Cool Sport which
means that when we lose, or find ourselves
III the minority, we should not become Soured
nor violent, but keep good-natured.
8. Teach the right kind of Patriotism, which
in America only on rare OCCASIONS means going
to war, but all the time and every day means
GeVotior to the Comn0I &.cod; 81. that the
Profiteer, who uses h wealth or business TO
rob the people, or the Striker, who uses his
organization to injure the public, are equally
bad citibzenS. ~..t.,
9. Teach Americas attitude toward other
nations; that never have wanted and never
will want to conquer and rule the people of
any other TERRITORY against their Will; that
America only desires to help other nations and
trade with them to mutual advantage; and that
IL was for this purpose we went into the Great
War; and for this purpose We urged the
world to form a League of Nations.
10. Teach Freedom, absolute as to Religion
or any kind of Opinion; yet teach how this
must necessarily be qualified by respect for
Law and orderly Government, SO that no man
has right to advocate crime or the over
throw of the Government.
These ten points will give the gist of real
AmericaniSm
