MONDAY. DECEMBER 18. 1922. The exodus of people from the farms to the towns and cities is one of the gravest dangers that threaten our civilization. Most people realize the fact that there is a veritable exodus in the direction of the towns and cities and away from the farms, but .-ee no great peril in such a situation. But the danger is there, none the less. When the country is stripped of its producers, and all become consumers of products from the farms, labor will soon find wages down to the starvation point and living correspondingly high. This will put labor at the mercy of capital. At the present stage of development such a situation wi'l bring anarchy and disruption. Crime will increase, lawlessness will spread and want will be multiplied. It was not an accident that God, having created man, put him in a garden. It 19 not u> man s gooa mat ne travel far from mother earth. He becomes artificial, abnormal and degenerate when he gets altogether out of contact with the soil. Kven the city dweller thrives best when he makes a ractice of digging in the garden. It is not the profi: in produce that brings him the greatest return. It* is the physical contact with the earth, the planting and reaping, the effort to use ' ature as a helped?these are the factors thnt count most. Revolutionists and anarchists do not grow out in the ?-pen fields; they do not thrive upon ' ountry life. They multiply where many are crowded into small space ?' and when the sun does i'T^ap-en - XJV shin in Up irJtttlca, dowri~iH^jnWff along crowded, disease, ladened streets wild theories take root and bring forth fruit. Perhaps the present season of financial stress is responsible for the increasing influx of population to the < nontprc V/ifh orvf^H rOJlds and bettor schools and churches, with more comforts possible on the farms, there will come a turning back to the soil. It is to be hoped that such will be the case, for if it is not true, the picture is anything but encouraging.

(Manufacturers Record) in the publication entitled American Railroad.', issued by the Asociation ?.f Rail .vjy Executives, for October IS. appears the following: "Operating Projects for 1423. "There is every reason to expect in ll>23 a betterment of railroad operating conditions such as will enable the railroads to meet satisfactorily all traffic demands that are likely to u 1 ise. "Certainly there is nothing now in sight to warrant un expectation of the peculiarly adverse conditions that have fr.ccd the railroads in 1921 and 1922." This statement was published in big, bold black type. We seriously question its accuracy or the wisdom of its publication. It states that there is nothing now in sight to warrant an expectation of the peculiarly adverse conditions that faced the railroads ir 1921 and 1922. We would, on the contvarv, say there is nothing now ir ight to warrant any marked improvement in the adverse conditions that faced the railroads in 1921 ant 1922. Wherever one travels the unceasing cry is for more cars. Manufacturer cannot get their raw material exeep after long delays, and when they havi made the finished product they canno ship it except under such adverse con ditions as almost to destroy all profi on busiess. The orders which th< railroads have so far put in for nev locomotives and cars will not begin t< touch the needs of the country. De spite all that some railroad peoph may say to the contrary condition; are not improving, and the railroad: are not bettering their roadbeds an< increasing their car supply to a suf ficient extent to offer any hope of bet ter conditions in 1923 than we nov have. However vigorously this may b< contested by some railroad managers we believe that every shipper of fac lory or ugricuuurai products wn agree with our statement in regan i ? the- matter. Broadly stated, it maj be said that trains are late, locomo lives are breaking down while in op oration, and embargoes on freight an constantly being issued, all becausi the physical conditions of the roa< are unequal to the handling of thi enormous traffic that is available. This condition will grow steadily worse in stead of better unless the railroad) begin a campaign of improvements far beyond anything of w^ich thej have as yet given any evidf/nce whatever as having in mind. We are aware of the fa?t that the railroads say they cannot find the money needed for these extensions, this money is found the hdfftiujyio-nnrroatta -wi,. and more acute, and the difficulty of finding money will grow steadily greater. This is not a threat against railroads, but merely a prophecy of what will happen. If all car and locomotive shops in the country were crowded to their utmost capacity, run. ring 24 hours a day, and every steel rail mill was worked on the same basis, they could not supply the cars ? nd locomotives and rails that ar< needed to meet the pressing conditions existing on the railroads of the coun try, which will grow more prnounces as business increases. Wo wish that we could agree wit) the view that operating prospects fo iC.O'J am Kriirhtpr t.hnn for 1921 an 1922, hut we see no justification fo folding out such a hope based on any thing that is now in sight.
