Old Fashioned Love
A doctor said the other day that " old-fashioned
love" was the best basis of mating—far better than
this new-fangled folderol called "eugenics."
What was "old-fashioned love?"
In the time of the cave-dwellers it was to seize by
the hair the woman who piqued your fancy and drat-;
her to your skin-covered flat in the cliff, clubbing
her if she resisted.
Outdoor living free from the vices of civilization
in those days bred a race that, though brutal, was
hardy.
Hut you'd hardly want your daughter to be wooed
in that way.
Then came the era of barter—so many cattle or
elephant's trunks for the mate of your choice, she
doomed hy pa and ma to the highest bidder.
That, too, was "old-fashioned love" and some of it
■till survives; but most folks today aren't proud of it.
The truth is that, in love, as in other affairs of life,
fashions change. Each era wants a fashion of its
own.
So that if the woman of the future, wishing to
•scape some of the hardships which in past ages have
unfairly fallen to her sex because of the greater sel
fishness of man, should wish to set up the eugenic
fashion, demanding the health and cleanliness of her
mate which he in all ages has desired of her, why. it
wouldn't he long until that kind of love would he old
fashioned, too.
But a better fashion, for the world do move.
Now History Repeats
A city official who has been looking into the con
trol of Chicago's privately owned public utilities has
made the discovery that five men direct the lighting
and passenger hauling of that community, and have
a lot to say about the telephone service as well.
In the middle ages they would have been dukes or
earls, loosely allied to the reigning king, but li\ ins
on the toil of their vassals and upon spoil gathered
in robbing forays.
Today they are merly eminent citizens, who pat
ronize charity, run politics and keep for the most
part behind the scenes.
Our feudalism is politer, more "respectable,"
otherwise the same.
However, there's no call to be fretful about it.
It won't last.
Farming In the Schools
The idea of carrying the the "back-to-the-soil"
movement into the public schools is not new. In
many states, trained agricultural experts are em
ployed to preach the gospel of the soil to the new
feneration. The attractions of farm life, the hade
pendente it instills is vitally more essential than
algebra, geometry and such. The Times is in full
accord with the educator who said, at tlie National
Kducation Association meeting, last week, '*<'<mI
bless the girl who refuses to study algebra!"
Where Are the Cops?
Still another street holdup is reported today. I>
Tacoma a frontier village and hare we no police pro
tection! It is high time that the daily story of street
robberies is stilled. It is distinctly up to Chief of
Police Loomis to get busy.
As to Tom Jones, the U. 8. senate seems opposed
to his job on the federal reserve board interlocking
with his job on the Harvester trust Isiard.
There being a bumper grain crop, Chicago packers
predict a decided rise in meat prices. Sounds like
