Why Boys Leave Home The American lx>y who left home used lo leave the old town as a matter ol choice. Urless his parents wake up, he will soon he leaving it as a matter ol necessity. , The foolish and fatal tenden cy of a lew people to invest tlieii money and huy tlien goods in distant cities is build - ini; up those cities at the ex - pense of their own towns, lessening, indeed often abso Intel v kilhng any opportunity for the hoy litre at home. This town is being bled of its money to make a great Chicago. But the great city is not long content merely with money. It demands flesh and idood, tlic mother’s son n its grinding shops and study offices, the father’s daughters for its employment and amuse ment. It is having little trouble getting them thanks to the assistance of those foolish Others and mothers. They are teaching the child con tempt for the home town and the home merchant. They are telling them how much better you can buy in the city. If you can buy better there it must be you can live better there, thinks the son or daughter. The worst of it is that the parents of these sons and daughters are helping to make this true. Every time you close up or stunt the growth of a c<numerical or mercantile en terprise here at home you kill an opportunity for some man’s son, probably your own. Every time you bleed this town of a dollar to fat ten some oity-tongued rascal in the city you lessen thechai.ee for your daughter s happiness. City population in this country is increasing and rur ' a! population decreasing. Ac cording to the Tinted States Census the total population ol the Ended States has increas . ed since i-VSo; yet, of this im rease hut 13,965,53 s has been in the country, while 27,850,945, or uea 1 Iv twice as much, lias been in the city. In 18S0 oyer 70 per cent ol the people lived 111 the coun try and less than 30 per cent in the towns. In 1910, the census shows, about 54 per ceni lived in the country and about 46 per cent in the towns. Considered in relation to the ' • geiicral growth ol the Nation, opportunity and wealth are on the decrease in the coun try and on the increase m the city. And the worse of it is that some people in the smaller communities, fooled by smart advertising or false economy, . are helping to hurt their own property and injure their own children and to build up the ; mercial on oV slavery j C nisi fix ion, the Hrerm and Oake were necessary to convince the world that what whs worth dyinp for was probably worth living for. The trampling of the fields of the poor in due time brings forth its guilln line and Ihe blood-fought freedom of anew republic; and taxation without representation means Bunker Hill. ’Sanitation does not precede a national plague. It follows it. because the rdague teaches its lesson after abstract reasoning has failed. The law required life preservers, but it took (be awful holocaust of the Slocum to enforce fbe law. ('ity ordinances everywhere demanded public doors that swing outward, but until the Iroquois fire those ordinances were unheeded. Yesterday shins sailed from port to port with lifeboats pitifully lacking. Tomorrow they will shade the deck of every steamer in abundance until the groans and cries from the stricken I'itantic are forgotten, and then once more a lesson must tie taught to a suffering world not, yet intelligent enough to learn except through pain. metropolis at the expense of the farm and the neighbor hood. Payments to Depositors of “Busted” Banks. D e. s p i t e the stereotyped Administration plan of legis lation. which does not include the subject of guaranty of bank deposits, Senator Owen chairman of the Senate Bank ing and Currency Committee, proposes that Congress shall take up the question of pro tecting the depositors oi de funct banks, and that immedi ately upon the failure of a bank that payments should be made to depositors for such portion of their credits as is shown to be waranted by the condition of the closed insti tution, This is what might be termed a limited guaranty of bank deposits. No More Hand-Picked Senators Again the constitution has been amended, and henceforth United .States Senators must be chosen by vole of the peo ple, thus relieving some of the legislatures of their most pro fitable work. And now .Senat or Bristow of Kansas, is after another amendment to the constitution, one providing that when the Supreme Court declares a law ol Congress unconstitutional, Con gress may submit that law to the people lor them to decide whether they want it to stand as passed by Congress. Thus there would he provided an appeal from the ‘‘court of last resort.’’ J.

A Bill to Rob the Ameri can Garbage Can .Senator Smoot has intro duced his bill appropriating SIO,OOO annually to each state | and territory for use through i the ‘agricultural experiment j stations, the results of this ! particular work to be printed and distributed, and designed to, “teach young housewives and others how to purchase properly, prepare and cook food, and how to utilize the food that is left over.” The Senator says by robbing the American garbage can that the cost of living Vi 11 be re duced.
