They say William Allen White Is go
ing to write an article for the Ameri- /
can magazine contrasting Emporia, /
Kansas. with New York City, to the 4
disparagement of the latter. But Frank |
farrell has beaten him to it in the fol- |
lowing terse summing up of the situa-
ton, from moral standpoint, in the |
Holton Signal:
These are few Of the reasons why a /
small town is preferable to a city. In a |
city you may be moral pervert. but If |
you have money, you may lead society /
In the small town you must be decent

money anyway you can, just so you get
it. and you may be an autocrat in your
club in the church and in society. In
the small town. you may have money,
but you must earn it honestly, or society
will have none Of you. In city you
may break all of the Ten Command
ments, as often as you please. but If you
have money, your sins are forgiven you.
In a small town the moral code is a
rigid one, but it makes for decency and
higher civilization. In a city. be you
man or woman you make smoke, drink,

standing in society will exactly CORE

In a small town, such excessive habits
would harm a man and be socially
Alicidal to a woman. In a city. it is
considered the height of vulgarity and
commences for a girl to work for her
living. Those who do nothing but live
from day to day on the pleasures there

feliow-siste who have to depend upon
their own efforts for a livelihood. and
who also, likely as not, support their
mothers and small sisters as well. In
the small towns the girl who works
