TO PRESIDENT The Common Carriers Ask for Re lief -- President Wilson Directs Attention ot Public to fheir Nieds. Tho coin:.iii i ee of railroad execu tives, beaded by Air. Krank Trumbull, representing thirty-five of the leading railroad systems ot the nanon, recent ly pres. ried to President Wilson a memorandum briefly reviewing the dif ficulties now confronting the railroads of the country and asking for the co operaron ot the governmental authori ties and the public in supporting rail road credits and recognizing an emer ger,cy which requires that the rail roads be given additional revenues. The memorandum recites that the European war has resulted in general depression of business on the Ameri can continent and in the dislocation of credits at home and abroad. With revenues decreasing and interest rates Of the country face a i'av.t ''?tions t si ung presenta . u of . a dm i . contlagration wbeu the flames meet ls apparent to all. In their general discussion tho railroad representa tives say in part: "My reason of leg islation aud regulation by tho federal government and the torty-eight states acting independently of each other, as wadi as through the action of a strong public opinion, railroad expenses in recent years have vastly increased. No criticism is here made of the gen eral theory of governmental regula tion, but on the other hand, no in genuity can relieve the carriers of ex penses created thereby." President Wilson, in transmitting tho memorandum of the railroad presidents to the public, character izes it as "a lucid statement ol plain truth." The president recognizing tho emergency as extraordinary, con tinning, said in part: "You ask me to call the attention of the conni ry to the imperativo necti that railway credits be sustained tim: the railroads helped in every possibh way, whether by private co-operative effort or by tho action, wberevei feasible of governmental agencies, am I am glad to do so because I til i ti b the need very real " Tho conference was certainly e fortunate one for the nation and thi president is to be congratulated foi opening the gate to a new world ol effort In whicu everyone may cooper ate. There are many important prob lems in our complex civilization thal will yield to co-operation which wil ! not lend themselves to arbitrary nil ings of commissions and linaucim railroads ls one of them The mai with the money is a factor that can not bo eliminated from any busbies, transaction and the public is an Inter . ested party that should always be con suited and happily the president ha invited all to participate In the S'du tlon of our railroad problems.

Cooperation of Church, School and Press Essential to Community Building. By Peter Radford Lecturer National Partners' Union. Tho church, the press and the school fenn a triple alliance of progress that guides the destiny of every commun Ity, state and nation. Without them civilization would wither and die and brough them lifo may attain its great est blessing, power and knowledge. The farmers of this nation are greatly indebted to this social triumvirate for tin lr uplifting influence, and on behalf ol the American plowmen 1 want to ! thank those engaged tn these high i callings for their able and oilicient \ s< rvlce, and 1 shall oft er to the press | a wi -ios of articles on co-operation j between these important influences and the farmers in tho hope of lu ( teasing the efficiency of all by mu . tual understanding and organized af ton. Wo will take up, first, the rural church The Farmers Are Great Church Build ers. The American fanner ls the greatest church builder the world has ever, known. He is the custodian of the nation's morality; upon his shoulders rests the "ark ot the covenant" and he is more responsive to religious iu fluonces than any other class of cit izenship The farmers of this nation have 1 built I L'o,uno churches at a cost of I $750,000,000, and the annual contribu ! tion ol tho nation toward all church institutions approximates $200,000,000 per annum. The farmers of the Uni ted States build 22 chun hes per day. I There are 20,000.000 rural church com municants on the farm, and 54 per: cent ot the total membership of all I churches reside, in the country.

Fewer and Better Churches. Rlessed is that rural community which has but one place of worship. While competition is the life of trade, it is death to tho rural church and moral starvation to the community. Petty sectarianism is a scourge that, blights the life, and the church preju dice saps the vitality, of many com munities. An over-churched commun ity is a crime against religion, a seri ous handicap to society and a uselesH tax upon agriculture While denominations are essential and church pride commendable, tho high teaching of universal Christianity must prevail if the rural church is to fulfill its mission to agriculture. We frequently have three or four \ churches in a community which ts not abb; to adequately support one Small ( congregations attend services onco a month and all fall to perform tho re ligious functions of the community. , The division of religious forces and , the breaking into fragments of moral . efforts is ofttimes little less than a j calamity and defeats the very purpose j they seek to promote i The evils of too many churches can , be minimized by co-operation The ? social and economic life of a rural .
