Among all the numerous vital questions confronting the nation at
present, the matter of reclaiming as far as possible the vast areas of non
arable lands, particularly in the Western states, is one of the moat import
ant that the government can undertake to deal with in its efforts to relieve
the depressed conditions resulting from the war. In east and west, north
and south countless acres of land are going utterly to waste. There are
miles of eastern and southern swamps to drain as well as great western des
erts to irrigate if the nation is to be placed on the increased productive
basis which will insure stable and adequate supply and reduced costs of
living and provide employment for the ever increasing surplus of labor.
In addition there are miles on miles of waste lands that cry out for scien
tific and prjfitable reforestation and hundreds of rivers that need to be
harnessed for (irrigation and flood prevention as well as for the good of
industry.
It is certainly not too much to say that the country's food stuff pro
duction could readily be doubled by means of land reclamation. Accord
ing lo Mr. Hoover, even a fifteen per cent increase in our productiv** »*tlic
i< ncy would put up beyond the reach of Kuropeah competition. There i«
comfort and ease for unborn millions and a solution of many of the most
pressing problems of this decade in the word "reclamation" The present
government can inaugurate no greater or more seasonable activity than by
furthering reclamation work* to the best of its and resources.

According to a story published in the English newspapers. England
has 2,000,000 surplus women and an additional 2,000.000 girls to develop
into maturity within the next two years. Naturally the British are quite
concerned over what i« to become of them. Four million women are ad
mittedly a considerable bunch and their future welfare more than a mo
mentary problem. The British authorities have, already sounded a warn- i
ing that the professions are overcrowded, especially in medicine. In some j
schools the number of women students equal the men. A similar condi
tion is also observable in other professions. The only field which appears
to be open to this vast army of femininity is domestic service. It is one
of which they will lie gladly received. Like America, England has her j
servant problem. In the kitchens of the more fortunate these women
would be welcome as a sort of national luxury But it appears that the
British maiden, like her American sister, iv not particularly enamoured
of domestic service and is more or less decided to go on as she pleases.
She declares she will find new opportunities for the exercise of her abilities,
thereby belaying almost cheerful optimism over her future as well as a j
spirit of independence that speaks well for her readiness to help herself, j
And av for marriage—well, she admits that, may he somewhat difficult or. •
account of the shortage of men. but she declares she will take h^r chances I
on that. too.

Anarchism is Anarchism. It is futile to attempt to differentiate!
between the mild or explosive brands of Socialism. Each of these has tin
some poisonous roots. None of them should he permitted a place in the I
United States. '
But we are told by high authority in the American Legion that
there are 8,000 disloyal teachers in the educational institutions of this re
public, 2,000 of these in colleges and universities.
The street corner radical propagandist is not so dangerous as are
these instructors of the youth of the nation. j
Philosophic Anarchism—Socialism is responsible for the bomb ami ■
torch of the direct actionist. The parlor Bolshevist should have no right '
in any city of this republic to spread his propaganda under the guarantee
of th« right of free speech. The parlor Bolshevist of most sinister type
does not advocate force in overthrowing the Government simply bec-atme
“the time is not ripe” to employ force.
According to former United States Senator Cartwright, of Califor
nia, speeches advocating the overthrow of the present form of government
in ’his ountry are being made daily by 2.r»,00U paid men and women. It
is »o this pernicious influence, very largely, that the country is indebted to
prevalent unrest. These undesirables continue to feed and fan the
flames which it is their hope ultimately to see burst into a general revolu
tionary conflagration.
Thdfr* almost invariable formula i~: We must make the poor man
rich by making the rich man poor. That is what it amounts to.
, 1 'Mr. Cartwright properly says that what the radical calls greed I
the normal, health> human <•: hi• • v«
