INDIANA TaRM LOYS STICK.*
(Houston Post.).
While the nation struggles with the
problem of the cost of living and
tbe matter of congestion of the cities
by nonproducers a rift in the cloud
is found in Indiana where a disposi-
tion among young people to remain
on the farm is discovered.
The president of the state board of
agriculture of Indiana after a sur-
vey. declares there are probably 20-
000 farm boys in his state who have
ceased to be ambitious to leave their
frrm homes and take up life in the
city. \ new attitude is developing
among the rural young people of the
% hoosier state he believes and the
unsatisfactory conditions in the cities
have served to awaken them to the
superior advantages right in their
old homesteads.
If Indiana can lead the way to a
real back to the farm movement she
will engage in an epoch making work
and nnp cf national importance. The
migration of the young people from
the fat ms to the cities—deserting the
ranks of the producers of food and
living essentials to join and augment
the ranks of the consumers in towns
—is a problem for the United States
that has been growing more serious
year by year. Twenty years ago'
some one-third of the population |
lived in cities or towns; ten years
about 50 percent were urban dwellers
and the new census will disclose a
much larger per centage in town and
a correspondingly decrease in the
country.
The nation urgently needs a wider
diffusion in the cultivation of its
resources for a better balance be-
tween the producer and consumers of
the necessaries of life and the result
of such diffusion are sure to react
beneficially ujkmi national life in
many other than purely material
respects.
KULTURE AGAIN.
(The Outlook.)
When several hundred men and wo-
men cheered the statement made in
\he hall of the Deutsche Liederkrans
in New York City a few weeks ago
O-at “the German spirit is not dead
and never will die” and when the
•sm? speaker who made this state-
ment furl her said that all men and
women of German descent must do j
el! in their power to bring “the Ger-
man spirit kulture and education to
the American people and to the peo-
ple *>f the whole world” America re-
ceived notice that the war is not yet
wot#. Nominally held to promote
plans for helping starving people in
Germany thi- meeting was in fact a
means for disseminating ideas against
which this country has fought. It:
was ope of many signs that what we i
have known as Gtsrrn^p propaganda is
still a menace in America.'
forget. Sometimes good nature is a
vice and good nature that made our (
people slow to believe the reports of
what the German* were doing in Bel-
gium in 1914. It was good nature
that made our people dismiss as in-
credible the threats of the Germans^
to murder civilians and neutrals at
sea. It was good nature that inclined
our people to ignore as a fantastic
dream the out-spoken ambitions of
the Germans to secure at the cost
of their neighbors world trade and
world dominition. It is good nature
now that tempts our people to for-
get these things to treat the beaten
foe as if he were nothing but a beat-
en foe. to take what is called a sports-
manlike attitude to go more than half
way—to be ready to go all the way—
in getting back to the old relations
of friendliness w'ith the German and
to let the German resume his oid
ways of he wants to.
The vice in all this is the vice of
carelessness about truth and princi-
ple. if German kulture was an evil
thing last year when we were at war
it has r.ot become a good thing now
just because we have stopped fight-
ing. If hyphen ism was bad then it
is had today.
America was not furious with
things German because she was at
war w'ith Germany; she went to war
with Germany because she had rea-
son to be furious with things German.
The German ideal set forth by Ger-
many’s leaders defended by Ger-
many’s apologists.and acquiesced in
by the German people was the ideal
of a state above all law both inter-
national law and moral law. Accord-
ing to this ideal murder rapetorture
violation of the pledged word treach-
ery disregard of the rights of men
and women and children—in fact
anything to which Germans might re-
sort to further the interests of their
•‘old fatherland”—was justified. Ac-
cording to this ideal men who were
citizens of the United States but w ho
had German blood in their veins were
justified in using their privileges as
American citizens for Germany’s pro
fit. As long as any vestige of this
ideal remains in America the victory
which America sought in this war
will not be complete.

GINNER MUST BE A
PUBLIC WEIGHER TO
ISSUE CERTIFICATE

tl*y The Associated Press)
DALLAS Tex. Aug. 21. — The
public weighers law passed by the
regular session of the Thirty-sixth
legislature makes it unlawful for a
ginner who is not a public weigh.t or
j a depjuty public weigher to issue a
weigjit certificate* or weight sheet up-
on uhah a future purchase and sale
is to be based according to an opin-
ion of the law received by S. S.
Frazier secretary of the Texas din-
ners’ association from the attorney
general's office.
The opinion if sustained in court
would invalidate the sale receipt of a
farmer who takes his cotton to the
gin Mr. Frazier said. These receipts
have long been used us a medium of
exchange because they represented
the quantity of cottonseed die gin.
Mr. Frazier states he has asked the
attorney general’s office for an opin-
ion on procedure to be followed to
validate the weights shown on sales
receipts so they may again be used
as a medium of exchange. Until this
opinion is secured Mr. Frazier said
cottonseed and cotton gin business
in the state will be severely handi-
capped.
