Danger Signals
Editor Journal_Danger Signals
are flying everywhere in America.
Every man who cannot get a job
of work is a danger signal. Every
hungry man is a danger signal.
Every hungry woman is a danger
signal. They are danger signals
because men will not forever
stand to be deprived of opportun
ity to work; deprived of home and
bed and food, and to be compelled
to see their wives and children

suffer. Men become riotous when
they have been thus wronged too
long. The desire to live over
comes everything else. They
strike out blindly. They do not
care. They burn, they kill, they
steal, they rob they plunder, they
destroy governments. History
runs red with the story of such
acts. What men have done, they
will always do under the same
circumstances.
It is not in human nature to die
without a struggle. Thank good
ness it is not. The right to revolt
is sacred. The fear of revolution
is the oppressor’s only conscience.
But the necessity for Revolution
should always be avoided. An
appeal to violence is so awful that
! it should never be made so long
as it is possible to appeal to reason.
It is high time for the great men
of the United States to do some
thing to remove the cause of the
people’s discontent. It is high time
they were doing something to
keep food within reach of the
famishing and work within reach
of the idle. The question of unem
ployment is pressing upon this
country as it has seldom, or never,
pressed before. And it promises to
nracc ctill Knrrlor
The food question is becoming
so acute that great hunger already
exists and greater hunger is
threatened. Last year we produc- j
ed the greatest wheat crop in our |
history. Yet John Hohn, chief of
the division of statistics of the de
partment of commerce, says that
a wheat famine is threatened. This
means a bread famine, and a bread
famine means an abundant crop of
misery and death. What are our
great men doing?
I shall tell the story here. I shall
not set it down in malice. 1 shall
tell it as I see it. These men are
doing nothing except quarrelling
about it. The great men in the
Republican party say it is because
of the low tariff. The great men
in the Democratic party say it is
because of the war. The great!
men in the Socialist party say it is
because a few men own all of the
necessaries of life and all of the
machinery of production.
This ownership gives them the
power to put wrar prices on flour,
sugar and all the necessaries of
life. The ownership of the machin- j
ery of production gives them the
power to say to the Democratic
administration, “If you don’t pro
tect us in the robbery of the peo
ple, we will close our works and
starve them.”
This is why the unemployment
problem has become so serious in
so short a time, but this is not the
only reason we have the unem
ployed. This problem was gradu
ally growing worse under the Taft
and Roosevelt administrations. It
was growing worse because advan
ced machinery is taking the place
of men. When the owner of an in
dustry finds he can buy a machine
tnai win ao me worK oi one nun- i
dred men, or sixteen hundred men,
as in some cases, he buys the ma
chine and lets the men go. It is
cliimed by good authority that
machinery will be so perfected in
twenty years that more than half
of the men in this country will be j
displaced. The owners of the ma-1
chines will be able to supply the
demand and run only a part of
the time. The question arises,
what is the remedy? Well, I will
sight you to one man who has
done his part toward solving the
problem of the unemployed, the
problem of food, clothing, and
owning a home. This man is Hen
ry Ford of Detroit, Mich. About
one year ago Mr. Ford decided to
let his 20,(MX) employees share in
the $20,000,000 profits which he
said they had produced. He toon
$10,000,000 and added it to their
wages which raised them from an
average of $2 32 per day to $5 and
up to $8 per day. He had been
working two crews ten hours each.
He cut them to eight hours which

enabled him to put on another
crew and use one-third more men.
A recent report shows that these
men have since purchased homes
to the amount of $5,500,000; have
paid $1,150,000 on them, and have
taken out life insurance policies
to the amount of $3,500,000. Hut
you say other capitalists are too
greedy to do this; that if they
would it would give the workers
and the public the benefit of the t
i iventions and solve the problem
of unemployment. And I answer
no, they will not do it. But public
o wnership would give to the work
er just what Henry Ford gave
and would give to the consumer
the benefit of the $10,000,000 that
Ford is yet keeping back. And it
would take the power to rob out
of the hands of the private owners.

MARKETING ISLIl'i
GREATEST PROBLEM
WE ARE LONG ON PRODUC
TION, SHORT ON D1STRI
RI f nr r
By Peter Rr.df rd
Ijernirer Nuttoimi Kannt'rV t'uion
The economic distribution of
arm products is todav the world’s
greatest problem and t lie war
wliile it has brought its hardships,
lias clearly emphasized the im
portance of distribution as a fact
or in American agriculture and
promises to give tile farmers the
co-operation of the government
and the business men the solution
of their marketing problem.
I his result will, in a measure,
compensate us for our war losses,
for the business interests and
government have been in the
main assisting almost exclusive!\
on the production -ide of agricul
ture. \\ hile the department of
agriculture has been dumping
t-uis of literature on the farmer
telling him how to produce, the
farmer has been dumping tons of
products in the nations garbage
can for want of a market.
The World Will Never Starve.
At no time since Adam and
Eve were driven from the Garden
of Eden have the inhabitants of
this world suffered from lack of
production, but some people liavt
gmie hungry from the day of cre
ation to this good hour for the
lack of proper distribution. Slight
variations in production have
forced a change in diet and one
locality has felt the pinch of want
while another surfeited, hut the
world as a whole ha> ever been
a land of plcntv.
W e now have less than one
tenth of the tillable land of the
earth's surface under cultivation,
and we not only have this sur
plus area to draw on hut it is safe
to estimate that in ca>e of dire ne
cessity one-half the earin’s popu
lation could knock their living out
of the trees of the forests, gather
it from wild vines and draw it
from streams. No one should be
come alarmed; the world will
11 c \ t. i Mdi vc,
The consumer has always feared
that the producer would not sup
ply him and his fright has found
expression on the statute books
of our states and nations, and the
farmer has been urged to produce
recklessly and without reference
to a market, and regardless of the
demands of the consumer.
Back to the Soil.
'Die city people have been urg
ing each other to move back to
the farm, hut very few of them
have moved. \\ e welcome our
city cousins back to the soil and
this earth's surface contains 16,
092,160,000 idle acres of tillable
land where they can make a liv
ing by tickling the earth with a
forked stick, but we do not need
them so far as increasing produc
tion is concerned. The city man
has very erroneous ideas of agri
cultural conditions. The common
ly accepted theoTy that we are
short on production is all wrong.
Our annual increase in produc
tion far exceeds that of our in
crease in population.
The World as a Farm.
Taking the world as one big
farm, we find two billion acres of
land in cultivation. ()f this amount
there is approximately “50,000,000
acres on the western and 1,2<)0,
000,000 acres on the eastern hem
isphere, in cultivation. This esti
mate does not include grazing
lands, forests, etc., where large
quantities of meat are produced.
The world’s annual crop ap
proximates fifteen billion bushels
of cereals, thirteen billion pounds
of fibre and sixty-five million
tons of meat
BETTER WHISTLE THAN WHINE
J. L. BROWN
There is a good lesson
Wrote down in this line:
It’s better my brother,
To whistle than whine.
There is war in Europe,
And prices are high;
Hut grunting and groaning,
Won’t help you to buy.
The drouth got your corn,
And your cotton is low;
Hut whining and pining,
Won’t help it, you know.
Your barn may be empty,
Your hoises look thin;
But sighing and crying,
Won’t till up their skin.
When things are not moving,
’Along as they should;
Mumbling and grumbling,
Will do them no good.
If the sun is not shining,
You know that it must;
And whistling, not whining,
Will strengthen your trust.
For whining can't scatter
The clouds from your sky;
Then say it don’t matter,
I'll whistle, or try.
