H, ' Thu enormous slaughter uf men linn started Kt the sociologists to debating the question of who- HS ' thcr or not, nt the close of hostilities, Europe BJ will bo forced to legalize polygamy, or rcort to Km some other such expedient to provide mates for rf ' its millloiiH of unmarried women. J Although perhaps not generally known, pre- B clscly Hitch n condition was faced in Europe ttt K : J the end of the Thirty Years wnr, nnd it was met R$ ! by legalizing jwlygamy until a relntive balance of vHj! j the sexes was again cslnblisheil, when the laws Kj were repealed. Hn ' It is estimated that should the war continue HhB for two yearn longer there will bo in the coun- H ' j tries involved not less than twelve million fc Kf males in excess of males. Hence It can be plainly tg ' seen that the problem confronting those coun- HW ' tries is serious indeed. Bjg EurojH!, aside from the purely material losses Eft which she Is sustaining, nnd which are almost HSI beyond conception or computation, is facing n H certain nnd serious check to civilization. Pos- B , sibly no other condition would so rclnrd the H, march of progress as n return, cither by choice H ' or necessity, to this degrading practice. ftHj The twentieth century mind revolts nt the B ! idea of polygamy. Not only is this true of Amer- H leans, but Europeans as well. This being true, K what effect would it have upon the people should Hj ( such n prncticc be revived? H I To n race familiar with und accustomed to the H ' practice it may appear justifiable and right. But H ' to a people who for centuries have been taught 1 to regard it as contrary to the lnws of nnture tho effect is certain to be demoralizing to char- I nctcr. Even those who would bo constrained to practice polygamy would by force of their prc- Hj vious training be compelled to regard themselves B as living in adulter'. H How truly should every American thnnk his H God that our land has been spared'he horror's Hj j hat faco our cousins across the water, and how 1 firmly each should determine that, como what H j ! i mRy we will never be dragged into that conflict Hj and participate in that slaughter except In ac- K ' tual defense of our own shores. H America today is the white hope of clvillza- Hl tion. The destiny of tho raco lies in the Amor!- H can hnnd to shape it as it will. That we may be V true to our highest idcnls is tho earnest prayer H of over' intelligent soul within our borders. H Polygamy could never even be considered in H this country. HHl WHY RURAL LIFE IS DULL. Kw H I v Rather., wo should have said, why some rural 1 ( life is dull. H Not nil rural communities are dull. Many are H just teeming with social life nnd interest. Hj Do you realize why some communities nrc H lacking in social life nnd "snap?" Simply be- H cause you, yourself, are deficient in these quail- H ties. And your neighbors are very likely In the HK' same condition. W Suppose you wake up nnd take an interest in HH masters that tend to tho betterment of the social Hb sido of your community, especially of your ini- fl mediate neighborhood. Soon your neighbor will Hfl come to life nnd join you. Then others will come Hl trooping nlpng, and you will have the ball rolling HB and it will surprise you how rapidly everybody H will step into line nnd march to tho tune .of B, greater life nnd happiness. fll Many communities think that if they have ' their fanner's meetings, preaching occasionally, m nnd prayer meeting once a week, thoy have ful- H filled the social lnws. But not so. To be con- M teni with these is like living on a heavy diet of ' corn brend nnd meat. Tho human animal is n H j fun loving creature by nature, nnd with his work j he must mix a reasonable amount of piny if he 1 is to retain his mental nnd physical faculties un- 1 impaired. 1 ' If your community has not n good social club, i organize one. Have singings nnd debates, mu- Hi aicals and concerts, athletic sports and other t healthy forms of amusement. Put the young L ' ' people of the community to work in the lino of TO: . entertainment. You will be surprised nt the amount of really good talent that will come tot the front. - But above all things, take an active intcrost in thono nffnirs yourself. You mny be the very person who in time will develop the "simp" thnt breeds succoss. , , Community life is just what the people of the community mnke it, nnd YOU nre one of the people. Do your part before asking others to do theirs. WHAT IS YOUR INTENTION7 Arc you n land owner? If bo, whnt is your in tention witli regard to the land thnt you own? Do you propose to regard it merely ns n business investment, nnd to extrnct frojn It every possible dollar of rkofit7 Wo have known farmers whose treatment 'of their land was calculated to lenve the Impression thnt they wore the ones for whom it wits origin ally created, nnd thnt when they should cense to need it no other use would ever be made of it. On the other hnnd, there nre men nnd many of them who, while striving to make their land as productive ns ossiblc, hnve yet an tyc to tho future owners. Every farmer, when he takes charge of n piece of ground, should frame this simple resolution : "I hereby resolve thnt, whether my occupancy of this land be long or short,,! will. use every means nt my commnnd to lenve It more produc tive than when I found it." If this were the guiding principle of every farmer's life, .what a .blessed and productive country ours would Iwcomc in a few generations ' of time? And why not 7 Every farmer who has ever worked with Impoverished soil knows how dis couraging and heart sickening is the struggle. And every farmer who has honestly endeavor cd to improve his laud to a point of real produc tiveness knows how gratifying it is to see hht yield mount upward from year to year-and to feel that as the seasons go by lie is adding sub stantially to the wealth of this country for af ter all is said, land Is the great tangible asset of the earth. Tho man who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before is a benefactor of mankind. The man who so depletes his soil that only ono blade will grow where two former ly grew, Is a thief. Hnrd words yes, hard, but true. No man has a right to impoverish the soil, even if he docs hold n titlo deed to it. At best it is only his for n season, when it must pass on to a rightful owner. And what about the rights of thnt next own er? And the next, and the next? When you pursue a policy that impoverishes your land it goes to your son at" your demise poorer than when you received it. Have you, in that event, been honest with your son? Ho had a right to receive from you what you received certainly no less. Will .the farmers of America, rob the unborn generations; or will they leave for them the leg acy of a better land than they themselves in herited? It is a personal question which each individual' must nnswer for himself. Get a balloon nnd go up with the high cost of living. Villa must be getting dippy. He has complete ly forgotten to die ngnin. j If hell is paved with broken promises it must I be a great place for politicians.

SINGLE ADMISSION - - FIFTY CENTS THE SUN'S WEEKLY WASHINGTON NEWS i i t Congressman Pays Tribute to Buf falo Bill War Decreases Im migration Enormously Thi Hun Hpcclnl Htrlri WASHINGTON, D. C, Jnn. 31. There has long been n feeling in congress, nmong democrats and republicans alike, that the presi dent should bo vested with power, through an amendment to tlic constitution, to veto individual items of appropriation instead of being compelled to disapprove an entire bill in order to get rid of ono objectionable paragraph in it. Congressman Walter W. Ma gee of New York Is ono of those who hold to that view. In Magce's opinion it is tho most effectual means of removing for all time the cry of "pork" when an omnibus appropriation bill has been passed by congress, and cltea the law In his own state where the governor has the power to reject one or more Items In npproprlntlon bills presented to him for npprovnl. "I trust that tho time will come," exclaimed Representative Magcc, "when some president, ns the fender of a great political party will urgo such an amendment to the constitution thnt will result in the saving of millions of dollars annually to the government. War DccreascH Immigration Enormously. Prior to tho outbreak of the war In Europe our net gain in Im migration was moro than 64,100 per month. At that rate, during twcnty-nlno months of tho war up to date when tho lust statistics were published, we would have had a gain 6t 1,859,000. As a mat ter of fact, our gain in population through immigration was only 280,000. The war, therefore, caused n relative decrcaso of 1,579, 000 in our population. That is to say, if the war had not occurred our population today would be 1,579,000 greater than it is and this increase would have been chiefly of people of tho laboring clnss. Moro than n million and n half of working people ndded to our population would mnke a vast, difference In the rate of wages the laboring people nre receiving. Congressman Pnys Tribute to "Buffalo Dill." Hon. Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming took the opportunity re cently afforded by a discussion of present day mail routes in the West to cnll tho attention of the houso to the pony express of the early days, and the fact that one of the pioneers of thnt, service, Colonel Cody, hnd just passed away. Mondell paid a glowing tribute to "Buffalo Hill's" life and character, mentioning the debt which the West owed thnt pioneer for tho part he played in the upbuilding of thnt section of the country. "No man ever lived in the West," nssertcd Representntlve Mondell, "who combined, ns he did, the sterling qualities which make men useful in stirring nnd soul testing days. He was an ideal representative of a time and condition curiously blending tlm extremes of hardship and ro mance." Some Democrats For Fair Elections. Through correspondence it is developed thnt there are a few democrats In congress who approve of tho principle involved in tho Gallinger amendment to the corrupt practices bill. Two of them, Messrs. Bruckner nnd Fnrley, hail from New York, where the blighting effect of the swollen democratic strength from the South has been most withering. In spite of their utmost efforts, New York democrats have seen their party in congress, led by the South, proceed to penalize New York by every form of taxation which ingenuity enn devise within the limits of the constitution. They do not likd it, their constituents do not like It nnd they real ize that the Gallinger amendment points tho way to relief. . NOTK'i: TO WATKIl UHniUJ. Stntc l.'MKlnrtr's Office, Hall Uk.
