SALVATION OF THE COUNTRY.
It Depends Upon Checking the Tend
ency of the People to Gather In
Congested Centers How the Mail
Order System Kills Rural Life.
From an editorial article by Gcorgo
H. Maxwell lu. Maxwell's Tallsmun tho
following pertinent extracts nre taken:
There aro many country merchants
who see their trade gradually slipping
away from them, leaving tho country
town and going to the great cities by
the channel of the mall order trade.
There nre many country editors who
see the prosperity of their towns de
pleted and circulation and advertising
Income- reduced for the same reason.
There are very few, however, who
realize that their problem Is a national
one and that It Is wrapped up In and
a part of the great fundamental ques
tion whether this nation shall be ppr
petuated or sha'l be destroyed by the
physical degeneration of humanity, tho
social unrest. Industrial discontent,
moral and political corruption and class
hatred bred .in tho city slums and ten
ements and certain to culminate In
anarchistic crimes, riotous mobs nnd
all destroying social upheavals a tho
result of some long continued period
of Industrial nnd commercial depres
sion. The fact Is that the upbulldtjg of
the country town and suburban vil
lage as an antidote nnd .safeguard
against tho poisonous social, moral,
physical and political consequences of
herding millions of our working peo
ple together In tho unnatural congested
llfo of the tenements Is tho ouo great
question that rises above all others la
importance as a problem that this na
tion must solve. Unless It does solve
It It will BUlfcr death from human de
generacythe fate of so ninny nations
and civilisations that have risen in tho
past only to bo destroyed. Ours will bo
llkowlso destroyed unless wo take heed
in time.
Tho danger arises from tho conges
tion of population In cities and from
nothing else.
The solution lies in checking the fur
ther growth of cities ut the homes of
hulusfiial workers and scattering those
homcii li.to and among suburban home
croft villages and In country town3
and rural settlements.
To do that trade and Industry must
bo decentralized. Industries of all
'kinds must be established In tho sub
urbs of tbe cities or In the towns In
stead of In the congested centers. That
Is something that requires an organized
campaign, but first It requires a cur
rent or right thought In tho minds of
the people.
It renulros that everything should bo
done at can bo done to hold In tho
existing towns and villages the trado
that now naturally centers thare. Any
part of It, small or large, that Is di
verted to any of the huge central malL
order concerns in tho big cities and
thereby taken away from the locality
vhero It originates and belongs Is an
lnfluenco that promotes Just to that
extent tho growth of tho evil that Is
eating at tho heart of our national life.
Yhatever Is needed to supply the needs
of every household lu every rural com
munity should be sold over the counter
of a local store and not through the
postofllce and tho mail trade.
Then comes tho question of tho
growth of towns and villages. There
Is where tho country editors and mer
chants can help tnemselves. Once get
It luto tho minds of tho whole Amer
ican people that the salvation of tho
nation depends on tho upbuilding ot
tho country towns nnd suburban vil
lagesgot tho Idea planted and deeply'
rooted so it will grow Itself and a
thousand Influences will enter tho field
and enlist for this great campaign for
rural and country town and village
development to check the overgrowth
of cities, with all its resultant evils.
It cannot nil bo done nt once, 'x'ho
first thing is to got public thought ac
tively aroused and turned Into right
chnunels. There must be a eompleto
common conception in the minds of
millions of people of this new national
ideal. Then thero must bo united, con
certed nnd vigorous action to realize
that Ideal. Tho facts and arguments
to support It must bo disseminated
through a groat educational campaign,
entirely separato nnd npart from poli
tics. The Card Advertisement.
"Ono excellent way to keep n town'a
attractions and advantages before the
outside world," remnrked n citizen of a
thriving western town, "la tho uso of
tho card advertisement. No, I don't
mean tho big card In tho street cars
carrying display type notices. I am
not talking particularly of street car
towns anyhow. I menu tho card use4
by somo persons I know, Including my
self. It is Just a little smaller than
tho business envelopes used, On this
card Is printed an epltomo of tho
town'B attractions, tho main points be
ing brought out boldly. A hnlf tono
plcturo of tho business center, If It
lends itself well to Illustration, is a
good feature. You can uso both sides:
of tho card for matter booming your
town. Put ono or two of theso cards
in overy letter you wrlto. You will bo
surprised to learn how ninny Inquiries
you will receive in a short time. I
consldor this a flno wny to keep a
town before tho pooplo outside. If
every citizen would do liVowiso tba
card advertisement would be a great
thing for tho town."
