South America
South America covers almost one-eighth of the total land surface of the globe, an area more than twice that of the United States. Of the world's population one person in every thirtyfive lives on that continent. This is about onehalf of the population of this nation. v v It contains the longest river on the planet, the Amazon, a stream that stretches a thousand
miles longer than the Mississippi and Missouri combined. At this comparatively early period of
Its development it has built 48,638 miles of railway and has under construction thousands more. Argentine alone is a vast country destined in time to take her place among the great Powers. Buenos Aires, her capital, is the twelfth largest city on the globe with nearly a million and a half DODulation. So well built and so beautiful is that
capital, its Avenida de Mayo is considered one of the most famous streets anywhere. The Argentine is now the wealthiest nation per capita in existence. It ranks next to Australia itself in production in wool and has in present use 38,000 miles of telegraph. Brazil is the world's chief source of coffee, cocoa and rubber and Bolivia is second only to the Malay Federation in its output of tin. In 1909 the Argentine exported products worth $359,584,000; in 1910 Brazil shipped abroad $310,006,000; while in the same year Chile sent out exports valued at $120,022,000. Although the United States has more than three times the population of these states its exports were less than two-and-a-half times as great which shows that they export much more per capita than we. ' ' And yet these South American nations are but in the beginning of their industrial development ; in course of time when they have constructed their railways, their factories and have begun to exploit their measureless ore deposits, every other people will be obliged to look well to its industrial laurels. More than that, it will stand every other nation well in hand to develop to the limit its trade possibilities with the great continent below the line.
It is in just this connection that the United
States has thus far most signally failed in its re
lationshiDS with South America. We have so
k completely ignored that remarkable people that
the continent is nearer to Europe than to us.
They speak an Old World language and thus
are more interested in the current happenings of
Eurasia than of the United States. They have j the Old World religion and so have an ideal of! character farther removed from us than ours is from England or Germany. They have borrowed capital to exploit their resources and consequently established trade relationships with France and Germany rather than with the United States. Their newspapers are mostly controlled by European interests and the literature that goes to form their collective mind is inspired from across the Atlantic. In short, South America, owing to our own aloofness, is now nearer to the Old World than to us. This means danger to our civilization. With foreign military powers penetrating the continent there is no alternative but to expect that foreign influence will reign. And as the continent becomes better developed, European control will be but the more strengthened. Even if it never becomes a European country in name it may in fact. And that is the menace to us. Foreign Powers are organized on the basis of military aggression ; we are organized on the basis of peace. For
eign rowers, many or them, are deimiteiy op
posed to those democratic institutions which we consider so essential to the well being of humanity. And with foreign military Powers in control there we haves permitted our own possible ene
mies to encamp at our very door. In that event we shall be obliged to prepare for possible war,
a consummation devoutly to be avoided, for it will impose on the neck of the United States pro
ducer the burden which now galls the European
But there is still time for us to do a little
peaceful penetration ourselves. Spite of the inti
mate relations now, sustained between South
America and Europe the United States with its
democratic government and its humane ideals
has the best opportunity.
The nations of the Western Hemisphere are not divided from each other by such impassible
gulfs as those which separate France from Russia or Russia from the Sudan. They have every
interest in common and stand or fall together.
It would seem that our own wisest course will
, -be to hold the Monroe Doctrine in abeyance insofar as it bears on Argentine, Brazil and Chile and
to strive for the establishment of a Pan-Americanism which will include those and other selfgoverning and sufficiently developed Latin- - American countries in a friendly league for, the furtherance of all interests common to this hemisphere. United as against Europe, co-operating as with each other, in. this way alone can the , Americas escape the peril of European military
The Traveling Man The Indianapolis Sun reports that the aver
age age of the members of the more than five
hundred members of the Indiana Commercial
Travelers Association which convened in that city last week, has fallen from 45 to 39 during
the single year 1918. Why has that estimable sheet burdened us with this superfluous information: does not everybody know that the traveling man grows younger and better looking all the time? Any newsgirl in a hotel lobby could tell us that. Necessarily he grows younger; he carries eternal summer m his soul, a possession better designed to hold old age at bay than Ponce de Leon's spring, if Dr. Holmes is to be trusted. Among the many new human varieties the modern traveling man is the newest. Even the younger generation, innocent yet of baldness or grandchildren, can recall when the typical "drummer" was a flashy sport, ornamented with a nose redder than Omar Khayyam's "rose incarnadine," and a fancy vest that looked like the map of Europe. He told smutty stories and boozed daily and had to take every prospective customer out for a 'good time.' i ': -But today, "how is he changed !" He is. dapper
and trim and dressed in the best taste, he wears
a chronic Pete Crowther smile and loves his job. Truth telling, affability, courtesy and character are the chief assets of his business. iJ-&
Armed to the teeth with these admirable human qualities he weaves up and down the nation eliminating class hatred and sectional jingoism and missionary ing for commercial and industrial
development. He knows more about politics than any other, and many things besides. He helps feed and clothe the world and his shoulder is ever at the wheel of progress. He preaches , the gospel of brotherhood and efficiency and some
how manages to spend half his time on a train and sleep half the night and go and come in all weathers and live on hotel grub and keep sweet
all at the same time. To be able to reveal such
powers of human nature is itself enough to turn back the wheel of time and clip six years off his age.
Sculptor Criticizes Rejection of French Wokan's Bronzes
Pork Consumption In a recent report to the State Board of Health, state veterinarian Dr. A. F, Nelson states that of a herd of hogs slaughtered in
Terre. Haute 60 per cent were discovered to be tuberculous. It was later discovered that these animals had been following a tuberculous dairy herd now supplying milk to that well known
Hoosier town and home of political crooks.
The cows excreted tubercle bacilli and the
hogs, rooting in the ground which they had pas
tured over, swallowed the germs and thus con
tracted the disease. This opened up two chan
nels through which these same deadly microbes
might find their way into the human system; through the use of milk drawn from that dairy herd and through the use of the flesh of those
same porkers.
We are not worrying about Terre Haute for
it is too tough to suffer from mere germs, but
we do pause to ask ourselves whether we care to
have our babies drink milk from untested herds or risk our own anatomy to the mercy of "the
deadliest bug." So long as swine run with in
fected dairy herds, death stands a fine chance
with' men and babies.
The right use of the tuberculin test will elim
inate all animal tuberculosis in time; that has been proven too often to suffer refutation. And the enforced use of the tuberculin test is destined to come over all the broad land in certainty.
But even so there are some dairymen too palloused to all human sentiment to subscribe to the test and there are some stock raisers left in the dark Africa of deadly prejudice who cry out against it.
But spite of these dangerous tories the wheel
of progress in the conservation of human health and of human babies moves on, and will contin
ue so to move, "sure as the most certain sure."

A roof for when the slow, dark hours begin. May not the darkness hide it from my face ? You cannot miss the inn. Shan I meet other wayfarers at night?

Editor's Jote The increasing reference In the dally press and current periodicals to the "feminist" movement, has occasioned considerable comment and. Query ss to the meaning of the term. Mr. Haywood has briefly covered the scope and meaning of the movement in two articles for the readers of the Palladium:

The latter is merely .the attempt now being made by organized women the world over to secure for. themselves a voice in government. But the former- Is that movement, sometimes organised and sometimes not, wherein women the world over are seeking to, free themselves from the conventions which have so long hemmed is the sex and to secure a more abundant entrance into the goods created by modern civilization.

from what she is today. The very shape and texture of her body reflects the social and economical conditions In which she has been compelled to live for centuries. Therefore to argue that because she Is flabby muscled, emotional. Intuitive rather rather than logical, notional instead of systematic, personal instead of abstract, she cannot make good in the professions that demand more of what we have grown accustomed to call "masculine characteristics," is fallacious. It is the environment under which 6he has lived that has made her soft and emotional: place her under a sterner

Today, therefore, argue the feminists, we witness this condition, that women are everywhere driven to parade their sex charms before men in order to secure that support which only a man can give her. And It is merely the extravagances of that sex exploitation which has eventuated in many of the most shocking usages of our times such as the sex dances, the slit skirt, and other indecent costumes and aU the other usages of the genera

In this way the feminist disposes with entire self satisfaction what is everywhere considered an insuperable obstacle to her entrance into many trades and professions. Woman's new functions, they aver, will create new muscles and new traits. If she is not now fitted for the new work let her undertake the new work ii for no other purpose than that she shall thereby become fit. It is the feminist conception of this same "labor" that forms, it seems to me, the central crux of tne whole feminist philosophy. The feminists believe that what is noble and strong in man has been dereloped through his monopoly of labor. Has he a ruggeder physique? It is labor that has made it. Has he a better trained mind? His work accounts for it and not any natural superiority of his sex. Has he excelled in art? His art is but the outflowering of his toil. Has he climbed In literature? It is simply the reflex of his work. Thus in every way the feminist seeks to prove that man is superior because his work has made him so. Therefore, she declares, if women is
to life herself to man's plane of abil-
hets to declare, as Alfred Russel Wallace declared, that this Is the most vicious age. all things considered, that has ever dawned in the history of man. Because of the exaggeration of the place of sex, woman, who creates and sustains the theatre, demands that the drama keep sex to the fore. Because it is she who reads fiction, books are
; growing more and more risque. Be- ! cause of this false base on which so
cial life has been "placed and the un- . due sex strain therefrom resulting, men and women tend more and more frequently to fall Into vice.: a- thing . which accounts for the enormous Increase in prostitution and illegitimacy. ' And most of all it is because man must produce for two, and because one of these demands a free reign for the development of her charms, that ' rare suicide develops.. Man refuses the burdens of famllyhood because he is already driven to the limit of his endurance to produce for a wife that does not produce for herself. ' Thus it is that feminists (and it must be remembered that I give their views and not my own) are Inter-1 pretlng the signs of the time. Those

alone can transform her from the decorative and extravagant creature she too often is into a useful and productive member of society. As things now are she can do nothing except perform a few duties as man's servant or as his children's servant. She vaaet depend on man for her income, she must look to him for a living. He receives the bracing development of making his way in the world while she must grow soft in a security won for her by another. This protection has 'proved fatal to wom-

It is at this point that the typical
feminist explanation of many present day characteristics issues. A hundred years ago, say hey, the woman was as much an economic necessity as man. Her functions in creating the necessaries of life were quite as essential as his own. He could raise the sheep and clip tie wool but the fibres, were useless to- bim until his wife wove them into tloth and fitted them
From which argument they deduce the logical conclusion that the one wsy of saving society Is to restore to woman her economic independence. But what all this will mean can only be treated In an ensuing article.
