NATIONAL FOUNDATIONS. PATRIOTISM m TIME OF PEACE HEEDED TOm SOLVE, OUR ; NATIONAL PROBLEMS. We Must Plant Forest. Organize Better Schools, Make Homes For Workers and Rear the Children Close to Nature.-Menace of Great Cities. . ,. . . .At the commencement ezerclsei of the Michigan Agricultural College on June 20th, 1900, an address wag de livered by George H. Max well, -Dean of the Homecroftera Gild of the Talisr man and Executive Chairman of the National Irrigation Association. The key-note of the address of Mr. Maxwell was the Idea that we should bring to the constructive work of our social and commercial life In time of peace, the same fervent patrlot- lam and devotion to the public serv ice that would inspire the whole na tion If we were In the throes of a bloody conflict with the, people of some other country. , ' In Illustration of this he re ferred to our forest resources. The . wasteful Improvidence with which we have swept the for ests out of existence was contrasted with the elaborate care with which 'we have bnllt fortifications and na- - vies and equipped our armies. And yet, said Mr. Maxwell, we have little to fear from any foreign foe. : But we have much to fear from the wreck and ruin that will inevitably follow the destruction of our forests. 7 Destroy the forests and over Im mense areas flood and drouth will destroy the farms. : Destroy the forests and you will at the same time destroy many of our most important Industries -by the ex haustion of our supply of wood or timber. - Destroy a city by bombardment or fire and it can be rebuilt In t few years more beautiful than ever. , Destroy a forest on the plains and It may take more than a generation to restore it Destroy a forest on the mountains, where the soil Is thin and poof, and It may take centuries to restore the 'forest if It can ever be done at all. The destruction of the forest cover leaves the mountain sides so exposed to erosion that the rocks are washed "DESTROY TnE FORESTS AND FLOOD AND DROUTH WILL DESTROY THB FARMS." bare of soil, and reforestation becomes impossible We are told by experts, and no one contradicts the statement, that at the present rate of consumption, our en tire forest resources will be exhausted , In less than forty years. I have re cently seen it stated at . thirty-five years. If we are to guard against this national danger the Timber and Stone Law must be repealed, and all public timber lands included In perm anent Forest Reserves, the title to the land forever retained by the National Government, stumpage.. only of ma ' tured timber sold, and young timber preserved for future cutting, so that the forests wll be perpetuated by right use; and the National Govern ment must, by the reservation or pur chase of existing forest hinds, and the planting of new .forests, create In every state National Forest Planta tions from which,1 through, all the years to come, Jk sufficient supply of wood and timber can be annually harvested to supply the needs otthe people of each state from the Forest Plantations in that state. Unless we take time- by the fore lock the next generation will see the United States practically a treeless nation,' without wood or timber for the uses of our people, and devastated year after year by ruinous . oods. Al ready the scarcity of timber is being felt and every ' man who builds a home must pay the Increased cost In Michigan I understand that some of your most important Industries are - crippled by the shortage of timber. - And yet In the face of this cob dltlonSvbich is nothing more than a crisis threatening the complete . de struction of one of pur greatest re sources as a nation. Congress busies Itself with a multitude of matters of Infinitely less Importance and refuses to repeal the Timber and Stone-Act, under which the last remnants of our unreserved - national forest lands are being fed Into the Insatiable maw of the timber speculators for less than one-tenth of their actual value. . - : We are told by the men In Congress who make Committees and shape leg islation, that the money cannot be spared to acquire and save from de struction the Calaveras Big Trees In California, or to create the White ' Mountain and Appalachian Forest Re serves, and preserve their forest re sources and aave the1 water power used In 'the manufacturing Industries of New England -and the. Sooth; and . the same men in the same moment re fuse to stop the most shameless waste of a nation's resources that ever dis graced a national lawmaking body by refusing to repeal the Timber and Stone Act v . - . Not only this, but In Arizona and New Mexico where the forests are the very life of ' the country, the Joint Statehood Bill proposed to give a float ing grant of several million acres which the land speculators who would control the legislature would use to get control of and destroy every acre of unreserved timber land In those territories. The country owes a debt of gratitude to Senator Burroughs of your State for' his aid -In preventing that bill from passing the Senate. It seems . Incredible that these things should be done by Congress, but there are reasons for it - . In the first place the people at large take no interest In the preserve tlon of their own property. "What Is everybody's business Is nobody's business." ' In the second place we have not yet, as a people, risen far enough above the mere worship of Mammon to realise that we are deliberately sac- rmcing to tne uolden Calf the re sources without which we cannot ex ist as a nation. And worse than this, we are crowd ing our working people, both native and foreign born, Into an environment where congestion of-populatlon is de generating our workers and rotting tneir physical and moral fibre, Where will you find any citizenship in the slum and tenement districts of our cities to whom yon can effect ively appeal for help to stop the waste or our rorestsT They know nothing about It and care less. The first need of any nation Is an Intelligent cttisen ship, and the slums and tenements of our great cities are maelstroms Into which the. citizenship f the country Is being drawn to Its destruction In a steadily Increasing volume. - We are suffering Just now from a spasm of national hysteria because what everybody who ever took the trouble to go and look knew long ago the revolting conditions under which the great packers of Chicago have been operating their plants? and because diseased meat has been sold for food. , ' But you may draw the worst pict ure that your imagination can paint of the horrors of the slaughtering and packing of meat In those establish ments , and nothing yon can Imagine equals the horror of blighting the lives of thousands of 'children who are condemned to live and' grow up In the foul physical, social and moral miasma that permeates the whole slum district of Packlngtown. It Is a national disgrace and Is bound to prove a national -curse. There Is only one remedy for those horrible conditions of life for the children, and that is to get the work ing people and their children out -of the slums, and Into .the suburbs where they can have sunshine and fresh air and pure and nourishing food from a home garden. . Let us realize once for all that this problem of the children of our work ing people Is our greatest national problem and go at Its solution with the same patriotic- and self-sacrificing national heroism that led the Homecroftera of Japan to go Into bat tle with their lives In their hands, like hand grenades, to throw at the enemy that sought to crush out their na tional life Let us catch the Inspiration of the slogan of the Homecrofters Move ment In this Country, and never cease our work until we have "Every: child in a garden Every Mother In. a Homecroft and Individ ual Industrial Independence for Everv Worker In a Home of his own on the Land.'' - - . . ' The Creed and Platform of the Homecrofter tells how It may be done and anyone who wants- a copy of It can get It without charge by sending a postal card addressed to me,' at the Fisher Building In Chicago.- The Great Cities are our most serious menace In this Country. Ov greatest national danger lies in the Centralization of 'wealth and popula tion and trade ' and Industry. . The hope of the nation is In the farm and suburban home and In the country and suburban town and village. . Let us go seriously to work to cre ate and upbuild them. Let every student who goes out ' from this splendid Institution go with the spirit of a soldier to fight the great battles of ' peace for higher national Ideals, for' a purer public service, for the preservation of our national resources, for a better educational system, aad above and beyond aU for the multipli cation of Homes on the Land where the children, can grow to manhood and womanhood: In the uplifting en vironment of , a rural . community where the evil Influences of the cities can be forever kept at bay. Ia such an environment children can - be reared to citizenship next to Nature from whence they can draw, health and vigor both moral and physical for the discharge of all the duties of life. . It is not In the cities that this country now needs the service of the flower of ts patriotic manhood. . It Is In the country . where . the great national problem of the Improvement of the rural life la to be solved, where more beautiful towns and" villages and bet ter roads are to be built, better schools to be 'established, telephones and trolley lines constructed, and all the Influences put tar work that will socialize the country, and drive away the Isolation and hardships that were formerly Its drawbacks. , ' We mus not only stop and reverse the great tide of population that has Deen arming rrora the conntry to the cities, v We must decentralize industry and trade as well as population. The parlotlsm that Is ." latent in every heart must find an outlet In every country town and village In the work of village improvement of creating an environment for human life where the highest utility and beauty will surround the entire community, and where a local civic loyalty will prevail that will anchor the people to their own hearthstone and where they will live content under their own vine and fig tree. .. This local pride and love of home and the home town is one of the strongest of human feelings when once It Is deeply' planted. . It should be -cultivated In every possible way. Nothing should be left. undone to stimulate or cement It Every member of such a community should cultivate a spirit of comradeship and co-operate to advance the general welfare of all. The merchant the small tradesman, the country editor, the Church, should all work together to that end. Home industry should be encouraged In evry possible way. The whole community should co-operate to pro tect and stimulate the trade of the town. - The home paper should be liberally patronised. There is no one thing capable of more far reaching and en during Influence for good than the country press. One of the most un fortunate of modern Influences has been the trend of commercial evolu tion that has borne so heavily on the country editor by the development of the metropolitan family monthly and mall order papers, filled with tempt ation for the rural people to stimulate the centralisation of wealth and trade In the cities by supplying their ordin ary needs from far distant and prac tically unknown sources. This trend toward the centralization of trade and Industry In the great cities walks side by side with the centralization of wealth and population as a menace to our national future. The danger It threatens can only be obviated by awakening the people at large to a re alization of It The great central and controlling thought that must rise above all others as a national Ideal Is the con viction that the real bulwarks of the nation are the Homes of its Citizens and that the first thought and hlghesf ambition of every young man should be to establish a HOME, a self-sustaining Home on the Land, where he can be Independent and enjoy the real happiness of a well spent life and not make the mistake that brings disap pointment and misery to so many, of setting up the accumulation of a for tune as the goal of his life's ambition! It Is a lure which of necessity must wreck thousands In order that a few may succeed. The man who earns enough to live comfortably without luxury, as every Intelligent and in dustrious man can who has sufficient practical education, and who does his duty to himself, his family, his friends, ils country and to humanity, Is the man who really succeeds In life and who gets the greatest, happiness and satisfaction out of It To create a human character of the highest type with everything that Implies, is the most admirable of all human achlevments and that every man and woman must and can do for themselves. "A . time like this demands strong men, Great hearts, true faith and ready bands; Men whom the Inst of office does sot kill, Men whom the spoils of office cannot bay, Men who possess opinion and a will, Men who have honor, men who wul not He, Mea who cm stand before a demafofne. And damn bit treacherous flatteries with out winking; Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the tog, Ia public duty and in private thinking." FOR THE TOWS BEAUTIFUL. Missouri Women Begin Campaign for Meaner Cities and Village . (Colombia Herald.) The club women of Missouri have taken up In earnest the campaign for cleaner cities and towns. In 8t Joseph and other large towns organ izations of women have done much to promote a general sentiment far clean liness and are planning more. In Ma con a women's organization virtually manages the street cleaning depart ment, .collects the money from mer chants, superintends the work and disburses the funds. The members of the club at Trenton, a' women's clnb, have started a campaign that Is being watched with. Interest and Imitated In other towns. At the annual meeting at the home of their president,; Mrs. T, N, Witten, the club discussed plans for the promotion of a sentiment for better care of lawns and gardens, cleaner streets and Llleys and seneral Improvements. The subject of the opening paper of the meeting, read by Mrs. J. A. Asher, was this appropriate one: "The Town's Opportunity How Can It Do More Than the City for a Beautiful merican Life?" One of the plans decided upon was to offer cash prizes to children In the various wards or Trenton for the nest show bin under prescribed conditions, in the growing of flowers and ' care of remises. Seeds for the-competitors are to be furnished practically free by the dab. The mayor was asked to Issue a proclamation for a neral cleaning-op day, asking citizens to de vote a few hours systematically to dis poning of the aeeumnlated rubbish. What the women are doing in some Missouri ' towns the school children have been urged to undertake In others. At various ward schools of Joplln the pupils assisted In the cleaning up of the grounds in readiness ft the' -lnnf-Inr of nhrnbs and flowers. At Perry, In Kails' County, where Professor J. F. Osborne has the nrettfmt mibllc school campus In the state, the school children helped In the irood wort. At Joplln Principal i. A. Baker has been wader In the observance of Arbor day and the Inculcation of the senti ment for the civic beauty. - A town mtmt first be built. In t wilderness and then made beautiful. The Missouri wilderness -has gone, the towns are here and are now betni made beautiful .. BE A IJOMECROFTER - Learn by Doing. Work Together.

A Homeerofl Garden, The Homecroft Movement is growl ing In strength and many leading newspapers are editorially advocating the Idea that every family though ' living In the city, ought to have a garden. A reader of MAX WEL 8 HOMEMAKER MAGAZINE, la Westbranch, Iowa, sends us the fot- " lowing editorial clipped from the Dee -Moines Daily News, which is so fally in harmony with what this magazine stands for that we take pleasure in reproducing the same.
