Marriage Of the Future.

The industrial conditions of the
modern home are such as to delay
and often prevent marriage. Since
the home" is supposed to aTdse on
ly from marriage, 1t looks as Hhotgh
the situation were frankly suicidal. So
far, not seeing these things, we have
merely followed our world old habits
of blaming the woman. She used TO
be content with Shese conditions, we
say; she ought TO be now. Back to
natuqei The woman refuses to go
back the home refuses to go forward,
the msTudage waits. The initial con-
dition of ownership, even without SER
vitude reacts unfavorably upon the
kind of marriage most desired. "A wo-
man slave is not a wife. The more
absolutely woman is her own mis-
tress. in accepting her husband and
her life with him, the higher is the
grade of love and companionship open
to him. Again the economic DEEPEN
dence of the woman initiates against
a true maIudage In that the element
of the economic profit degrades and

which we are tending requires a full

Commissioner Rankin's June crop
report carries a note of optimism
that will gladden. the Kentucky heart
II has been a month of much rain.
but general conditions are good, and
looking into the details of the COM
missioner's report there is much of
encouragement, not only for the farm
er who feeds us all" but for every
one who appreciates the beneficent
influence Of good crops
To begin with, there is promise of
bumper crop of corn. The produc-
ton. it is possible, may be even larg-
er than last year. which saw an alb
normal planting owing to the curtail-
ment OF the hurley tobacco output.
The acreage is immense and the con-
dition is favorable.
The growing tobacco crop is the
largest in acreage ever planted in the
state. OF hurley alone, II is estimated,
the acreage is between 100 900 and
40, 600. In the "Black Patch. -
where there was an effort on the part
of the Planters Protective assocla-
ton to hold down the setting to TO-
900 plants to the hand, the outlook,
nevertheless, Is for a large increase
in production. With good prices pre-
vailing, the average grower is not
disposed to hold down. On the con-
trary, he is strongly inclined to put
out all the plants he can cultivate,
and II would appear that that is about
what he has done in all the tobacco
raising districts in the state. Despite
the overplus Of rain which has seri-
Iously interfered with working the
crops. the general condition is report
ed good.
An interesting section OF the COM
missioner's report is that which deals
with alfalfa, comparatively new
crop In Kentucky. We are told that
more alfalfa is being planted every
year; that farmers are learning that
1t is about the best paying crop that
can be raised; that the condition of
the growing crop is splendid; that the
first cutting was made in May and
that FIVE cuttings will be obtained in
many parts of the state. In the light
of these facts there is reason to be-
lieve that Kentucky in the near fu-
ture will become a great alfalfa
growing state.

parked, Paducah will be much talked
of among the thousands of people
who travel up and down the great
water highway during the summer.
Mayor Smith, the park commissioners,
the board of public works and the
Illinois Central are to be thanked for
the new park. The Evening Sun has
been urging 1t for years; but after
the manner of our kind, we take no
credit for public improvements we
urge. We simply mention it, modest
ly, so the people will be reminded
where to turn when they seek effec-
tive support for a good thing.
