STREETS OF BEAUTY.

In rebuilding French towns and
cities in the wa zone two sets OF
opinion have come into conflict.
There are the very modern engineers
who wish to defer to the demands or
motor traffic by making streets wide
and straight at the expense Of quaint
ness and charm. Then there are
those who appreciate the beauty Of
the old towns and who seek to make
the streets Of the necessary width
and suitable for increasing automobile
use, and at the same time to preserve
The grace of the winding road. IN
some places this is done by leaving
one side of a street, however irregu
lar it may be, exactly as it was, tren
widening it to meet modern needs, lay
cutting back the other side, following
the same line of irregularities.
This struggle in French reconstruc-
ton work has a lesson for road
builders in this country. 1t empha-
sizes the fact that road need not be
ugly in order to meet traffic require
ments, and that beautiful bend in a
road need not be dangerous or
handicap to travel and commerce.
The benefits in effective transporta-
ton and inter-city communication
which the automobile and motor
truck have introduced would be pro-
ductive of almost as great evil as good
if they were allowed to deprive the
public of ali beauty and charm in its
highways

We the undersigned citizens of
South Carolina realizing that the
present methods of marketing our
cotton crop fall short of doing JUS
tice to the cotton growers and that
these methods are not likely to be
improved except by the growers

sent from the various parts Of the
state and have considered means By
which growers may correct some Of
the e:-ils Of the present system OF
marketing cotton. We urge action
on the part of growers Of The state

which have been found to make tor

THE WAR WITH JAPAN.

Commenting on the newest Japa-
nese crises over immigration ami
the island of Yap, with their attend
ant talk of war" the Springfield
Mass Union submits the follow
ing sage remarks:
But there are always stories about
Japan, and always propaganda OF
the inevitabieness Of war with her.
Our relations with her would need to
be OF the most enthusiastically cordial
kind to check all the determination in
this country to make q war seem I'M
n1inent. But really Japan has never
shown any other. disposition toward
us than to do her best in a diplomatic
way, and this is generally very good.
!: we shall undoubtedly have diplomatic
tussfes with Japan, as we have here
tofore. but it would be piac.cg too low
an estimate upon the shrewdness ana
wisdom of the Japanese statesmen tc
say that she alone Of all the nations
in the world would seek war with
the United States
This is simple common sense. The
japanese OF course, are shrewd. The
japanese, Of course, are selfish-all
nations are, in their dealings with
other nations, except in such rare and
negligible instances as that Of the
United States in freeing Cuba and, for
a short time, in its war dealings with
Europe. But the japanese are prob
ably not such knaves, and certainly
not such fools, as to seek war " tn the
United States over any question now
pending or any conceivable advantage
they might gain by attacking the
country.
The Japs are good players in the
diplomatic poker game. They are
pastfnasters Of bluff They also know
when to quit They backed down in
negotiating the Portsmouth treaty,
when they had Russia beaten in the
field because they knew tha> ulti-
Uaateiy. if the war continued. Russia
would beat them. They will back
down on the question OF immigration

sioa of a sfs navy, When they arc

THE IMMIGRATION BALANCE

It is good to learn that il! the
rast ten years the native population
Of tie United States has really gain
I'd on the foreign population. in tbs
decade from 1910 to 1920, according
10 the new census report, the fore ;Gn
born contingent increased only about
100000 altogether, while the native
born increased about 100000.
Moreover, this natural increase in the
mum Der Of natives was almost exactly
as much as the entire foreign popula-
ton living in this country when the
census was taken last year.
The result was reduction Of the
percentage Of foreign born from 14.5
per cent in 1919 to 1897 per cent in
1920, or a reduction Of about one
tenth in the proportion Of foreigners
to natives.
If this record were repeated for a
lew OeCGQSS, tlleEc WOulO Oc no lOI-
eign-born in this country worth
speaking of. That would be unfor
tunate, in the long run. America
Will always need some new blood. For
the present, however, the majority OF
Americans are clearly in favor Of
continuing the unintent;onal restric-
ton due to the war and holding down
the immigration a little while longer
by legislation. The country can We'll
afford to stand pat On the recent
gains made by the natives until such

Of the state. trusting that they may
so realize the seriousness of the cot
ton marketing problem that they will
be willing to form themselves into
an association for mutual advance
ment and for the protection of the
states most important industry.
In presenting this plan of market
ing we wish to so on record that
the plan is not put forward as a cure
all nor as price fixing scheme but
rather as a business method of mar
kcting cotton which promises to cor
rect some of the evils of the present
methods The benefits to be realized
through this plan will be larger d5
thc plan is more thoroughly devel-
oped and these benefits will be re-
allied not only by growers Of cot
ton but ultimately by consumers Oh
cotton as we'll. This plan does not
contemplate interferir" with present
marketing methods mere those
methods are efficient but will apply
where it is possible to effect more
direct application Of the law Of
supply and demand to the price re-
ceived by the grower for cotton. we
believe this Plan promises to bring
about a direct application Of that
law and we further believe that cot
ton growers may never expect more
than this.
The committee wishes to request
all who can do so to study the plans
of cooperative marketing as outliil-
ed and that will be published, from
time to time; to observe the right
eousness of the plans and of the OBJ
jects sought, and to give support to
the work of the committee in every
way possible. The committee es-
pecially and earnestly requests
bankers, newspapers, the cotton as
sociation and all other farmers or
ganizations, business mems organi-
cations, the Clemson extension Ser
vice and all citizens and orsani>a-
tions who are interested in the agri-
culture of the state to lend every e.
fort to the committee in this under
taking as without such universe!
and unselfsh support it would not be
possible for these plans looking to
permanent improvement and stabil-
ity in the cotton producing industry
to be realized.

PRACTICAL COLLEGES.

Apparently there are to be colleges
Tor everything and everybody in due
course OF time. Harvard University
has IT'S graduate school Of business ad-
ministration. Northwestern Univer-
sity is putting in a short, practical
course of training in commercial
8 problems. The Massachusetts, Insti-
Etsfte of Technology is establishing q
fisheries college similar to that which
has been in existence at the Uni
& rersity OF Washington for sew
eraa years. There are numerous 9TH
sef instances.
Some of these schools do not re-
ra1sse the completion of straight col
sonrse before admission, but
many OF them are strictly graduate
sshools.
Fhis IS an interesting tendency in
cdHeation. It does not, as might ap-
pear at first thought, deny the advan-
stage Of the straight cultural educa
saion,a although it does seem to admit
tfAf that training alone is not enough
Sgs5r this day: Of haste. The academic
colleges have been accused FOR many
wears of not fitting their students for
spractical life. AT first the answer to
Tins charge seemed to be to lay all tn

course. Before long. however. it was
recognized that the young man or wo
man With a broader educational feun-
dation was better able to grasp the
technical training and TO tackle new
problems with real vision and judg-
ment. Thea the Institutions Of uni
varsity and college rank began to add
To- their departments these newer
! lines formerly regarded as quite re-,
mote from academic education. The
institutions OF higher learning lose
nothing OF their dignity or culture
. thereby, and the students served gain
naaeh.
This does not mean that no one,
can succeed in business or profess
sion who does not have the college
training before the technical or pro-
fessional training. There are too many
examples to the contrary to allow
any such sweeping statement. But
FOR the average man or woman who
has time to take the well-rounded
training offered by these combined
SCHOOLS, there is greater promise of
future success and happiness in life.
