FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1920, by Frank Orane) The real cause of the flocking of people to the cities is the inborn desire of the soul for spiritual freedom. Country life seems open and free; in reality it is cramped and thrice barred. The man who lives in a small town is in some respects like a prisoner in a penal colony. His overseer is Mrs. Grundy. He |has to render account to her for all his |goings out and comings in. If he is an jhour late at the store the village must know why. If he takes a train there is no | peace until everybody knows where he is going, why he is going, and when he is coming back. There is a certain standard of village morality to which he must conform. He |must not play poker, nor go to the theatre, | nor attend a horse race, nor go a-fishing on Sunday. He must not have an automo- bile unless his bank balance warrants it. These are excellent regulations. If he breaks them the bank cashier will see that he shall be lent no more money, the pastor will pray at him, the Ladies’ Aid Society will talk about his wife, and in the end he will find himself, tho he might be rather a decent sort, forced into the category of | the village drunkard and the town infidel. | Now, no man dare say these restrictions | are wrong. The “best people’ would stone him. The youth finds he cannot criticise | this continual espionage. Consequently the | most independent and vigorous souls quietly | slip away and come to the city, where they | may go to ruin as they please. For only when one can go to the devil at -| will is there moral fiber in his not going. | The inalienable right of the soul is to do its own sinning. Take away from a man the privilege of smashing things and you have robbed him of his virtue. One-half CURING MORBID)ESS Editee The Star: This thing of young people committing suicide in| bad.

Refuse There are some physical ailments, you know, where, if you take medi. of any moral cent is liberty. In the city the man does (or not) what s right. In the small town the man does (or not) what Mrs. Grundy thinks is right. In the village, righteousness is conformity. In the city, righteousness, if any, is indi- vidual. Folks come to the city for moral fresh air. They seek the city for the same reason the early settlers sought the Wild West, or the Pilgrim Fathers emigrated to New England—freedom to worship God, some said; others said freedom to be vile heretics character that is worth a | and brigands; but, in any case, freedom. Consequently all the schemes for luring people to the countryside, by offering them land and plenty of bacon and beans, and long life, and money, will fail until yo offer them what all men, good and bad, want more than bread and meat, to-wit, freedom. Of course, weak souls also come to the city, and vice burns ten times hotter in city slum-furnaces, but precisely because city vice is more open, it is not so dangerous as the dull, secret glow of vice continually burning under the prohibitions of the village moral order. The worst plan with hell is to nail down the lid. Regulate men, prohibit, reward, and punish, was the Mosaic rule, also the mediaeval and Christian rule. Psycho- ee it is imperfect; factually it breaks lown. Stimulate, inspire, teach, love, and trus? men is the modern program. It doesn’t Produce the quick results of the mediaeval system, but it brings up the best children and in the long run makes men great. It is dangerous, as life itself is dangerous. and have said to happenings. if you must read something, let ft contain very little thought.

Just this sort of wear and comfort comes with every pair of Blue Buckles. They're made with the toughest, longest-wearing denim—and lots of it—with big double-stitched, rip-proof seams—with heavy brass riveted buttons, and loops and buckles that won't come off. They are big and roomy, with extra wide suspenders, big, convenient, reinforced Pockets, and a solid back band that holds the shape and prevents ripping.
