ENOUGH FOR MR. BRYAN. Of all the press comments criticising former Secretary of State Bryan for the attitude of talkativeness he has assumed Blnce his retirement from President Wilson's cabinet, that of the Charleston Evening Post, excells for brevity, poignancy und excellence of expression any that wc have seen to date. Commenting upon the course being pursued by the distinguished private citizen, the Post says: With the publication of his plan for bringing peace to Europe Mr. Bryan, it is said will conclude bis statements "for the present." Thst is a very elastic phrase, however, with the former secretary. <A statement a day ls a low average for his verbosity. We have now his statement of the res?gnatelo, his Interpretation of the presi dent's note to Germany, bis appeal to the 'German-Americans" nd his peace plan. AU of them to gether have not sufficed to explain satisfactory his retirement from the cabinet nor to Justify hts ac tion In bringing the administra tion, of which be was a part, un der criticism, nor to warrant his disclosure of government confi dences. But there has been enough and more thau enough from him to engage the public "for the pres ent," and he would do his coun trymen a service and himself a credit If he would refrain for a season from discussion of afalra in which he is no longer officially associated. "AMERICANIZATION DAY." The proposition to make of the com ing Fourth '.4 July an "Americaniza tion Day" ls finding great favor every where. The bloody Fourth la a thing ot the peat In all but a few benighted and unprogressive localities. The idea that the signing of, the declaration which made us a nation of free and independent citizens could only be fit ly celebrated by maiming our children is fast moving backward tc- take ita place with the witchcraft delusion and other obsolete superstitions. Now comes the suggestion that the day be given over to a sort of initia tion of new citizens. Reception are to be held for the newly naturalized ones, at which the speakers are to tell of the glory and the meaning of citi zenship in the Dnlted States. This was the original Idea of cele brating the day, when all our citizens were new; when they felt the honor and the responsibility deeply, and ussd the day for public gatherings in which to impress these things upon their children. . With-the- gaowth ot large cities these .village meetings went rather out of fashion, and fireworks became th? one foran ot amusement. Evening fireworks, set off by ex perts, paid for by the city or neigh borhood groups, with the beauty pres ent and the danger eliminated, may well have their p'ace at the close of the holiday. But that each com munity should use the day in some way to help make the nation one in ita purpoae and Id?ala la the fitting mode of commemorating the birth of the nation's independence. WHAT SUBMARINES ABB FOR. The newe ?that a German submarine had sunk two British torpedo bott* tn the North Sea waa received lu American, recently, with a sort of pleased surprise.

The secretary of agriculture la set ting himself to tbe task of quieting the unrest among farm women. Un der the 8mlth-Lever act there is pro vision for extension work in agricul ture and iiome economics. JuBt how to apply this to tbe bCBt unes ie the big problem. A statement issues by the depart ment of agriculture says the chief objections of women to country life are, usually "the generally small re turns from farming, the drudgery of farm work, and the social isolation." Perfectly just objections, they seem. And if the "unrest" Is due to them, the more the unrest is stirred up, the better. "Unrest isn't a bad thing, any way. lt differs wholly from "restlessness." which Is nervous energy gone to seed for lack" of cohotructrse purpose in life. Unrest'is merely another name for that divine discontent which is not satisfied with -existing conditons and pushes ever onward to improve them. The object, then, of any attempts to cheer the farm women on their weary way would be tb nae the unrest SB H strong force toward making the way less weary. Quieting the unrest means doping the -"mptoms. What is needed is to remove the cause. The teaching of home economics xs now begun by means of meeting, mov able schools and through women's clubs, is undoubtedly a needed step. The systematizing ot woman's work on the farm will help a great deal. And the efficiency stud es which rome along with thia are important. The ? ls probably more backache among farm women because of tho olen or two down from dining-room to kitch en and up to pantry or dairy tnan 'from any other one cause. Climbing up or down a flight of stairs two or three times a day is a harmless ac?. .But the constant adjustment of mo iton to those two or three steps over and over through long hours ts enough ??#*e*?*4>*??******* + ? * ?

There's seldom need for a woman to carry water any more. Simple plumbing and vapor engines are sur prisingly cheep-they cost much less than the wear and tear on a woman's framework. Introducing business methods to an extent which will make the farm men realize this and a few other facts about machinery, human and otherwise, te perhaps to utilize waste and turn by-products into mon ey is another useful work being ini tiated by the department. The farm woman's problems aren't different, fundamentally, f-ora those of the city woman. She needs more time- for herself, more leisure in which to think, to keep well physical ly and to grow mentally and spirit ually. These she can get only as the city woman ls getting them-through the introduction of machinery which will take some of her activities but of her own two hands; through co operation with her nelgubors. which involves better transportation; and through putting business efficiency Into the running of her home. The chances are that most of tba "unrest" and dissatisfaction spoken of in connection with women on the farm are due to the fact that women have waked up to the sense that the ord hlt-or-miss ways are wrong and their results are unnecessary. If they can Just hang on to that unrest, and Inoculat? their menfolks with a good proportion of it, it won't be long un til farm conditions ?re so Improved that the tables will ba completely turned.
