CIVILIZATION AND PROGRESS
I’lic trouble about Colonel Wattor-
Hon, of the Louisville Courier- Journal,
seems t » be that he is getting old and
fretful.
The Colonel really ought to remem
ber that when the great revolution
which the discovery of the use? of vac
cine matter brought about in the
world’s health was started, not one
single physician who had passed bis
fourth decade, was willing to sanc
tion its uMe. The tendency of old
people Is to go back to Home in an en
deavor to work out every thing In
modern life as the Romans did. Hut.
though history often repeats itself it
does not always repeat Itself, or there
would be no progress.
Colonel Watterson takes no more
stock in th<* mw fnnglod notions of
thin country's duty to Mexico than did
those wise old doctors who believed
that the greater part of the human
ra< e was born to be pock-marked and
racked by that fearful and revolting
disease.
Progress In civilisation, as in science
and in nil other directions grows
out of departures, out of adventure*
out of the trial of new principles and
the faith of rash and earnest hearts
in making this worn and grimy old
world s better place to live in.
civilization bus marched on. De
cent and developed people can not go
back t«» the days of Rome to get their
tips upon how to solve modern prob
lems. Christianity -that Impractical
and fantastic theory of doing unto
others sn we would have them do unto
us -tins slowly and certainly exerted
its influence upon nations and neigh*
borhoods and Us influence hae soft
ened the enlightened people »of the
world today in ways that may seem
deplorable to Colonel Watterson. and
other veteran political physicians, hut
nevertheless, this Impractical theory
of ||\ing is working Us miracles and
doing just those very things the old
doctors are deciering it never hae and
never will do.
We Invite Colonel Watterson to
>\atch out another half century and
discover how these milk-sop polices of
resident Wilson will work out.
It In always a showy part to croak
and preach disaster, bpt the prophets
of optimism are those who have the
heart and faith to push forward in the
course that is right, whether it be the
couree that Is "pr*ctlcsl" or no.
••TAINTED MONEY.”

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
CO-OPERATION SAVES A NATION.
Nowhere could a better Illustration of national thrift be found than
that presented by the little country of Denmark. In the early part of
the nineteenth century this Is the picture It presented: a country almost
destitute or rmtural resources, much of Its ten million acres ft bleak wsste
of mind dune, Its commerce practically all gone, the country Impoverished
by the Napoleonic wars end the peasantry In a pitiful condition. Today
tlds same Denmark Is, In proportion to its population, the wealthiest
country In the world.
Out of every hundred families In Denmark elghty-nlne own their
own houses and farms. In the United States about twenty-three per cent
of the entire population own their own urban homes and about forty
four per cent own their farm home,. The creation of the Peasant Farms
In tuns enabled peasants who had one-tenth of the purchase price of a par
cel of land to borrow from the state or co-operative savings hanks, nlne
tenths on that small murKin of security. With long terniH of easy pay
ments they were able to become Independent and prosperous owners, The
result Is the small amount of tenancy, and the success of co-operative
societies. There are approximately 240,000 farms In Denmark averaging
a little over forty acres each. Of this number 611,000 contain less than
one and one-half acres each.
U'he Dane realised two things: first, he must not only make his land
produce abundantly hut, second, he must strive to realise the highest net
Income possible from his products. Co-operative buying sod selling was
adopted to bring about th, latter result, and a highly perfected system is
In furce.
Agricultural co-operative societies seemed to spring up spontaneously,
and tlie movement spread wttli great rapidity. In 1912 tlier* were 13,000
general co-operative societies; 1,200 dairying societies; 36 liacon and 030
egg dlstrlhutlng centers. The effect on retail food prices in the eatjly
days "f co-operation In Denmark win » reduction of 30 to 25 per cent.
The price reduction Is not quite rp obvious now as the Independent retail
ers. In order to do business at all, are obliged to keep their prices about
tile same is the co-operative stores. “A wise man will make tnore op
portunities than he finds."
Besides a greatly Improved standard of merchandise and unadulter
ated goods, tlie members receive u« a rule, from five to twelve per cent
on their consumption.
As early as 11109 the turnover of the six export associations then es
tablished amounted to over 340.000,000.Q0,
In 1913 this little nation shipped a million dollars' worth of butter
to Knglnnd each week. In 1909 there were eleven hundred co-operative
creameries, handling prnctlcslly all the milk In the country.
A few years before a group of twelve men begnn some cow testing
experiments, which later were encouraged and assisted by the government,
't he following show the result or these tests and experiments: The Dan
ish farmer buys feed In the United States, pays transportation charges,
maintains tits tierd on high priced land and then competes successfully
with ths American dairymen In the English market.
More About County Unit Plan
Our hat la off to the Macon News.
We like te see a paper that Is not
•fratd lo say where It stands. Ho I'm
as we have any knowledge The News
Is the first of* the Influential dallies to
denounce the county unit plan. Tha
Ctlleen was the first newspaper tn the
state, ao far as we have any kuowl
adge, to openly declare tha unit plan
a fake a pawn of the demagogue and
the hope of the "down-and-out." The
more one studies the county unit plan
the more one la convinced that there
la no merit whatever tn It.

MISSION OF
THE PRESS
"r. Washington Gladden tells us
that the "new mission" of the press
should be to "turn the thoughts of
men more and more from the negative
virtue of detecting and espoalng tha
ev|| to the positive virtue of discern
ing and praising the jp>od.*'
Hi nee when has this become a “new
mission" of tbs proas 1
The press has ever been an agent
for the reward of virtue-—more so, In
fact, than any other agency
Hut for the prea# very little of the
real go»d which he* developed In mod
ern times, for the Inspiration and bet
terment of mankind, would have been
detected at all.
The columns nf every newspaper
carry ten times more matter "praising
llev* that the advocates of tha plan
desire It In order that they may have
a chance to manipulate the convention.
The agitation for the county unit plan
cornea largely front the politician* of
the cities. We distrust the Greek*
even when hearing gifts."
The Macon News shows with the
follow ing Illustration how unjustly the
scheme works:
"To observe how It works, how un
justly, Just note: It will be absolutely
useless for a Kluton supporter tn Ful
ton county to vote for Mr. FeUler. His
vote will not sntount to a thing. Ho
far as Mr Felder profits, it will be
Just the same us If the ballot was
not cast for him. That is because
Hlaton will probably carry Fulton, hi*
home county. Anyhow, |f he doe*
carry it, suppose ha carries tt hy Jus!
on* vote, all of the votes cast for Mr.
Felder will go for naught. Mr. Hlaton
will have Fulton's entire unit vote
In the state convention."
