“The Place Which Agriculture Holds x vxxay in This Country— ° By PRESIDENT COOLIDGE, in Chicago Address. ♦ NO ONE can travel across the vast area that lies between the Alleghenies and the Rockies without, being thoroughly impressed with the enormous expansion of American agriculture. . . . It is the development which has taken place within this area, mostly within the last 75 years, which has given agriculture a new standing in the world. By bringing the tillage of the soil under a new technique it has given to the people on the farm a new relationship to commerce, industry and society. Agriculture in America has been raised to the rank of a profession. It does not draw any artificial support from industry or from the government It rests squarely on a foundation of its own. It is independent The place which agriculture holds today in this country, superior .to that which it ever held beforp in time of peace in this or any otner land, is, by reason of its very eminence, one of the increasing exactions and difficulties. It does not require much talent or any great foresight to live on an inferior scale, limited and impoverished, nor does it evoke much eulogy, but to maintain freedom and independence, to ris& in the economic scale to the ownership and profitable management of a great property amid all the perils of our competitive life, requires a high degree of industry and ability. Those who achieve that position in a community will always be entitled tb the highest commendation. America is not without a true nobility, but it is not supported by privilege. It rests on worth. It is our farm life that is particularly representative of this standard as American citizenship. It is made up of many different types and races; it includes many different modes of thought and living. The importance of their continued success and progress cannot be overestimated. It affects not only the material but reaches beyond that into the moral and spiritual life of America. ; Wildernesses Must Be Maintained Because Human Society Needs Them By DR. C. C. ADAMS, Roosevelt Experiment Station. ‘ With increasing population there is always a tendency to encroach upon wilderness. Thus, to maintain park wildernesses can only be accomplished by a struggle, and the eternal vigilance needed to preserve our liberty is the same price that must be paid for the free, wild nature of the wilderness. The wilderness, like the forest, was once a great hindrance to our civilization, but now the tide has turned and wildernesses and forests must l>e maintained, even at much expense, because human society needs them. f At present the parks suffer to a large degree because they are in the hands of administrators whom, because of their lack of special training, we must consider as amateur. We have had no profession for this line of work, and some who have had the most training are to be feared to a corresponding degree because of preconceived, formal ideas which they, almost religious zeal, slip into the wilderness parks. The ideal of the wilderness park is beyond their ken, because their approach has been from another angle. These persons are of course welcomed in formal city parks, but in our large national parks and in the wild parts of our state parks they are liable to be a menace. § “Your Materialism Is Superficial; Your Nobility of Soul Fundamental” I . By J. ST. JOE STRACHEY. Editor London Spectator. There are many grounds for anxiety as to t|ie future of America. That I fully admit. All the same, I am as certain as I am that the sun will rise tomorrow, that they will be surmounted. I hold with Walt Whitman that the future of America is to be spiritual and heroic. A’our materialism is superficial; your nobility of soul is fundamental. Your greatness rests not in your amazing natural resources, your minerals, your oil, ydur virgin soil, but in the energy and enterprise of your people. It is your valor of mind and ch? ter and your millions of sane. God-fearing, steadfast homes that will prove your salvation. In that sign you will conquer. I have no fears, then, as to the future of America, and I put no limits to her prosperity. She wants to conquer, no doubt, but only by the arts of peace, not by those of the sword. She wants to help nations, but she wants also to maintain her absolute independence.. Exactly how she is to accomplish both her wishes is up to her to tell, not up to me; but that she will accomplish them I'4Bo not doubt To Scrap a War-Machine Which Brings About War Disasters in Peace By PERCY G. MACKINNON, Chairman of Lloyd's. The cables which reach Lloyd’s every hour of the day and hisrht remind us that the unescapable sea perils are formidable enough, but here we have an ingenious contrivance by which nations seek mutual destruction in the time of war, but which deals out death in the time of peace. All the great maritime nations have suffered heart-breaking losses oy this deadly machine, which treacherously destroys those in charge, and * it is feared inflicts slow torture as well as death. At this epoch, when the Locarno pact seems to offer a chance of European security, would it not be opportune to revive the proposal made at the Washington conference for the abolition of this deadly instrument of destruction ? We were successful in limiting the building of battleships at Washington, and there seems no reason why we should not be equally successful—given the good will of all nations—concerning submarines. Danger of Today Is From the Lawmaker Rather Than From the Lawbreaker By ARTHUR T. HADLEY, in paper's Magazine. One of the greatest dangers which now\pnfronts us is the Increasing demand for ill-considered legislation, and the increasing readiness of would-be reformers to rely on" authority rather than on public sentiment for securing their ends. s , When the republic was first founded, we had more to fear from the law breakers than from the law makers, from the absence of authority than from its overexercise. People believed in individual liberty and even sometimes inclined to carry that idea to extremes. But this love of liberty has gradually given place to a zeal for standardization. The new democracy, in the words of Lord Farrer, is passionately benevolent and passionately fond of power. Today, it is from the law maker rather than from the law breaker that our American traditions of self-government have most to fear. President R. L. Wilbur, Leland Stanford University—l maintain that no great Arrerican civilization will ever result until we spend our leisure at something more cultural than golf and the movies. We hare got to.get away from our materialistic goal in life. present we are s chewing-gum civilization. We might as well admit the fact—a baseball cbewing-gum, poker-bluff, hit-and-run civilization. Judge Franklin Taylor, Kings County (N. Y.) Court—Banditry will not be cured by anti-gun laws. Crime is more rampant than ever, because the crooks know they are safer than ever—because the other fellow is not arm* 1 - 1

Battle Creek, Mich.—Harry Lee Harris of Adrian, tree surgeon, recently learned that a woman whom he has passed on the street nearly every day for several weeks is his mother They have been separated for more than 20«* years. The discovery was made after he located his father, who had believed for 25 years that the son was dead. Separated from his parents in childhood Harris became successively 8 Detroit bootblack, a college graduate, a World war veteran and a business man. All of his achievements, he declares, were made possible by the kindness of Gov. A. J. Groesbeck, who paid his expenses at Purdue university. Harris was born 28 years ago in Kalamazoo county. When his parents separated a few years afterward his mother sent him and his sistet to tiie, Michigan Children’s Home at St. Josenhr Later the two were adopted by different fanjilies. He was taken by Mrs. Anna Mowen of Sher wood. Mich. Several weeks ago he came to Battle Creek on business and took up quarters In Marshall street, in which his mother’s home is located. H« passed her on the street regularly. While at Battle Creek he learned that tn Texas township there was a man by the name of Charles Ray who oOce knew a family by the name of Harris. That supplied the key by which h« solved the whereabouts of his par ents. > His father has been employed for 20 years at the Fred E. Cook dairy farm in South Comstock. His mother was remarried. Her name is Mrs. Cora Fuller. The sister, now Mrs. Violet Harwood, is living in Goshen, Ind. Actress of Many Wigs Jailed as Shoplifter New York. —Detectives from the Stores Mutual Protective association rubbed, their eyes in amazement when a good-looking, slender, bobbed-halt brunette stepped up to the bar in the Court of General Sessions when the clerk called “Mrs. Anna Stewart." This wasn’t the woman they had arrested in BlooniiiiLaiale’< store September 5 for having stolen Impairs of silk stockings. Or was it? It was. “Bitt she looks quite different,*’ the detectives said. They then told Justices Herbert,'Edwards and Mclnerny that the young woman, who said she was twenty and an actress, had had a bag .with her at , the time of her arrest, and in this bag they had found several wigs. “We tried the wigs on her and we recognized her as a shoplifter who had escaped us after thefts in several other stores." the detectives said. “Sixty days in the workhouse,” said the justice Wilts Aers Cost Hindu Hope of American Wife New York. —Wlflskers are no assistance in the selection of an American wife. Nand Singh. Hindu professor of business administration at the Jesuit College of Milwaukee for the last six years, admitted before, sailing for bls native land on the liner Aluiia that this was the reason he had not married an American girl. “Many Atuerican girls liked my eyes; some liked my smile; some spoke well of my voice. But my whiskers were my undoing," Singh said. “No American girl admired my whiskers and ray Indian caste would not permit their removal. For that, reason I never married here.” Train Kills Nine " Blyetheville. Ark. — Nine persons were killed and one injured, probably fatally, when St. Louis-Francisco passenger train No. 801 struck an automobile in which the ten persons were riding at a crossing. All of the dead and the injured, a child, were members of the families of Clem Oxford and his brother, Lawrence Oxford, farmers.
