Back to the Weed.

WORLD has stood around on one foot pa
- tiently chewing it's apron string and biding
the time when it should DO announced from the
capital Of the republic that the Honorable Joseph
Quincy Cannon was adhering staunchly to his
pledge to abandon smoking, which undertaking he
assumed january first of this year, and that in
spite Of predictions to the contrary by skeptics,
the reform would prove a permanent one.
No doubt the soul of the famous old consumer
of long, black cigars was sorely tried and that
temptation beset him upon every hand, out of
every vest pocket and in and about hotel Hobbies
and tobacconists' shops with which the town of
Washington is infested.
All went well, and the hero was passing through
tho peevish spell which marks the early stages of
the gutter of long, black cigars, when an admirer
from Pittsburgh, who had just arrived in town
and had rot heard of the great reform, presented
Uncle Joseph with a box of Pittsburgh stogies.
The present came when the distinguished cutters
resolution was sagging and his will power was at
its weakest point.
With the stogies under his arm, he retreated to
a cloak rom, and before those in and about the
house of representatives who had Uncle Joseplis
welfare at heart, could interfere, there issued from
that cloakroom a great cloud that resembled moth
ing SO much as it resembled forking hay into a
hay loft from the wagon below.
When caught red handed and charged with the
crime of treating his solemn pledge as a scrap
of paper, he %attempted a weak alibi by asserting
that Pittsburgh stogies are not long, black per-
fectos; neither are they tobacco.
Be that as it may. 1t was smoking that Uncle
joe promised the world he would quit and it
makes no difference whether it was tobacco, al.
falfa or okum, Uncle Joseph was caught smok.
ing. And he will have to come down from the
pedestal where he does noA belong and always
looked out of place.
However, he stuck firm and fast for two DAYS
which is a fair average for New Years reformers.

Somdness of Cooperation.

}o-OPERATIVE MARKETING as a sound prin.
clple in agriculture and fruit raising is becom.
ing more and more evident. The success the prac.
tlce has obtained is without question. 1t brings
the large and small producers tgether on the same
market level and distributes the benefits to all
alke. The economy that the cooperation .estab.
fishes means the producers salvation in business
and the security of his profits.
The recent convention of farmers cooperative
associations at the national capital was not only
an impressive gathering but it was an eve onener
to the American people and to the officials Of the
government who little know or appreciated the eff.
Iort OF tnese earnest men and women to place
their affairs on a business basis.
The council undoubtedly accomplished n prcat
deal, both for the cooperative market movement
and from the standpoint of convincing official
washington of the entire sanity, soundness and
ornamental nature of the movement,
1t demonstrated the clarity of mind. the vision
and the devotion of big men from every part of the
country to the cause of cooperation, after having
been convinced by intelligent and careful consid,
Grafton that the farmer himself, under efficient
leadership, can by cooperation solve most of his
economic problems.
It showed the faith of these men in the funda-
mental institutions of America and their Intention
10 place the farmer, through proper cooperative
organization, in position to fit III with the es.
business groups and to cooperate with
them as well as each other. 1t demonstrated that
the bustnessl1ke farmers and their leaders are not
asking subsidies and special favors but simply
that agricultural producers as business men AMI
the business organizations of agricultural produc.
ers be accorded the Same basis of financing as
other forms of business. And this basis is turn.
over.
Having gone to Washington and presented their
case as business men with a business viewpoint Of
the agricultural problems, they have gone back
home to attend to business as business men should.
And for the sake of America, her agriculture, her
life and everything else that is hers, it is
to be hoped that their message will be remembered
and acted upon to the exclusion of other legisla-
ton that has less bearing Jpn the welfare and
prosperity OF the country than agriculture.

wealthy philanthropist. who has what
might be called 1.-The international
bug" It rs amazing how powerful
an endowment may be on the
thought and teaching OF some in.
structors. not to say of some high
and Learned professors.
Nor is It difficult to teach un-
American doctrines and traditions,
when SC many OF our motern text
books and Histories are rewritten
with all historic heroes and heroic
events either emasculated or omitted
altogether. Foreign lecturers are
getting into u colleges and univer-
stiles, telling the students how far
behind America is. and how mistaken
all the writers of American history
have been throughout these many
years.
Not a few OF the products Of these
theoretical teachers and Instructors
are established in the government
departments. promoting their u
American ideas and principles. Thus
the deeds of the college and univer-
slty instructors live on after them,
to plague the country.
At a recent (,.bate on the question
of protection or free trade. at Harris
burg. Pa, the only address to receive
a favorable comment was from a
Princeton college professor. He talk
ed straight free trade and the doc
trine that each country should do
only what It can do most economic
ally and advantaseously. Under this
ancient free trade donna the United
States would today be purely an
agricultural nation.
Why not establish a chair of pro
lection and American patriotism in
every college and university in the
land?

Americanism Needed in
Colleges.

ism in our colleges and universities -
says the National Republican.
Most Of the propaganda in favor
of free trade and the cancellation of
the debts owing us from Europe, as
well as an entrance of the United
belt through the back door,. comes
from our colleges and universities
What IS h reason for thiS7 Are
the professors md instructors in the
institutions & learning lGss patri-
otic than the citizens elsewhere?
Have the professors and instructors
a different view and understanding
of the institutions and the mission OF
America, from what the average citi-
zen entertainer Do they possess su-
perior knowledge?
The true explanation lies in the
fact that most professors and
instructors teach theoretically and
from a cosmic point of view. They
make themselves believe tina they
arc looking after the welfare of the
United States by teaching the doc.
trine hat the whole world Is a unit.
and that the United States should
act universally. not nationally. This
is the theory of science and physics.
at is immaterial what college and
university instructors or professors
think about these matters: but 1t is
very material what they teach tho
young men and II is a great
pity, II not a peril, that SO many
young men IND women in our educa.

of their renl A~mericanism by the un-
American ideas taught them by GER

ment to the Constitution is going to be a mighty
difficult matter to- change. The enforcement is
the thing to concentrate on, and that is what is
being frightened up instead Of being relaxed by
violations of the law.
Violation of the prohibition law merely creates
a sentiment against any relaxation OF its rigors.
If the people had started right in TO observe the
prohibition laws to the letter, there might have
been some chance by this time Of getting light
wine and beer. But with continual violation Of
the law, its enforcement is gaining strength rather
than gaining ground for future modification.
Modification is a pretty difficult matter. If il
lated from one end of the country to the other.
with real sincere sentiment back of it, it might
have sufficient strength to secure notifications.
But such a thing is hopeless. 1t would be of no
value without the greatest sincerity and freedom
from Interior motive.
