Abolishing Great Cities.


Those restless social prophets who go
round casting the horoscope Of every in
stitut.on have decreed that the great city
is doomed. They have looked into the
matter. and issued their judgment They
say that the big city is unnatural; that
It Is uneconomic. by reason Of huge rents
and enormous freight handling charges;
that 1t grinds up mankind; that 1t does
not permit wholesome living. Wherefore.
they aver, the metropolis will disappear
and its place be taken by comparatively
small towns. like Gary, Lawrence and the
like, each devoted to a specia! industry.
One can believe anything. II he dates 1t
far eonugh In the past or future. One can
even believe that great cities will cease
to exist-some time. Most Of the reasons
metropolis is no more unnatural than
cooked food. or electric lights. or clothes:
and some of the worst Sums and highest
death rates on earth are to be found in
comparatively small towns.
The charge that cities are unecomonic
strikes closer home. though there may be
something to say on the other side. There
may be compromising advantages in the
massing of great populations which out
weigh even the atrocious rents and the
much handl ng Of supplies. In any case,
the downfall of the city Will take a good
deal of time. and be subject to some
startling exceptions. Some places are
marked out as gathering places Of man.
kind. Chicago is one of these. New York
Ia another, Constantinople is third, and
there may be many more. Market places
like these can laugh at prophecy.

Polo as an Army Game.

From the Army and Navy Journal
In view of the fact that the four
members of the British polo team that
was recently victorious in the interna-
tional match at Meadowbrook. L. l.,
are officers OF the British army, and
that the game Of polo has now won for
itself a place among the sports Of the
United States. Army, perhaps the time
has come for the arranging Of con-
test between the army officers Of the
two nations. The British army is very
proud, and rightly proud. that the win
ming int: national team was drawn en-
tirely from its ranks. In the United
States 1t would appear that the mill
tary poloist has not been regarded In
the makeup Of the home team. Yet
polo has spread in the army until it
has included the infantry organiza-
tions. Soon after the second division
was organized at Texas City polo
association was formed with Maj. Gen.
william. H. Carter as president. Many
games have been played, including han
dicap tournaments and q championship
tournament without handicap. In the
latter seven teams entered, four OIL

ing the first time that infantry regi-
ments had taken part as organizations
The infantry was sadly handicapped
BY want Of proper ponies. but, consid-
ering this drawback. did not make q
bad showing, the team Of the 18th In

chief honors were won by the 4th Field
Artillery, which captured every game

was second, lost only one game. Out

JOYS OF VILLAGE LIFE.
Better Than Solitude of Wilderness
or Hum of City.

From the Los Angeles Times.
One can appreciate the feelings Of the
pioneer settler who. when another settler
built a cabin a mile north of him. and a
third settler located a quarter section Of
land half mile south of him, said that he
was going to move, for the neighborhood
was getting too crowded. He was not con-
soled when told that these neighborhood
improvements would make his own land
more valuable. He said that he did not
want 1t to be more valuable, for that
would increase the amount Of taxes he
would have to pay. That one Of the new
settlers was a fine violinist and the other
q landscape artist did not reconcile him
to being crowded" He said that the
voice Of the wind signing through the
trees. the song Of the birds, the hum
OF the bees. and even the warbling of
the bullfrogs In the swamp was sweeter
music than any catgut scraper could
make, and there was no painted land
scape that could compare with the bloom

of the flowers. the sparkle Of the stars
and the fretwork glories Of color that the
setting sun wrought upon the clouds As
for the society Of neighbors. he did not
covet 1t. He had better society in the few
books In his cabin. He did not have
to dress up and walk a mile to hear Reade
and Dickens and Stevenson and Macauiay
and Emerson and Shakespeare and Moses
and Solomon and St. Paul discourse to
him. and when he grew weary of them
he could lay down his book and dismiss
them without discourtesy. while. II one of
the new neighbors called on him and bored
him with his drivel. he could not be 20
impolite as to open the door and kick him
out. Companionship? He had affection
ate, loyal and truthful companions who
never lied to him. When a hen cried
he knew that she had
laid an egg for his breakfast When his
horse whinned he knew that the animal
was glad to see him. No COW ever lied
to him. and there was not money enough
in the country to bride his dog not to
wag his tail at the sight Of his master
or to silence his growl at the approach OF
an ill-smelling stranger.
The old hermit was wrong. One does
not need to fly to the solitude Of the
prairie or the forest to escape the din Of
the city. for there is the cheer Of village
life, which many consider as the very best
form of life. Concerning this the Higgins

BUSINESS MORALS.
Revolution Since the Day When
Buyers Should Beware.

fsso tie Chicago Tf4bans.
Slowly. though not imperceptibly. per-

business morals. At the recent annual

but its significance 10 general. One Of
the Oldest rules Of the common law is.
LET the buyer beware" This rule
meant that consumers were supposed to
purchase articles at their own risk; that
It was their business to test, inspect, ex-
anime the things they bought. and that
the sellers were not to be held to high
standards Of ethics and veracity. An
amusing and familiar illustration Of this
Is found In the dicthm Of q British judge
that ''razors were made to sell, not to
shave" II a man bought a razor that
failed to shave the fault and loss were
his under the law, which assumed and
justified q very low state OF business
morais-
Today, whether o. not the hw has
marched with the times. business morals
are higher. LET the seller beware is
becoming the rule Of trade and com
merce. as the chemical society pointed
at when they purchase razors that fail
to shave. Such Q Transaction % frowned
on by the business community as repre-

Heating Question Serious.

1t is popularity assumed that the sub
ject of heating an apartment is copy
righted by the comic papers and can
be properly handled only by "joke
artist" But If one follows the work
of the courts he will find that it is also
very serious question which the courts
have been frequently called upon to
handle. Allowable limits Of space forbid
any elaborate presentation Of the Views
of the courts. In one case. as an illus
tration. there was no way Of heating the
apartment except by radiators connect
ed with a boiler In the cellar. under the

Landlord Held Responsible.

In another case, although the lease
contained no express provision for heat
Ing yet the court evidently assumed
that where an apartment Is leased and
1t ts apparent that the landlord is to
furnish the heat, il the heating appara-
tns is incapable of keeping the apartment
at temperature suflcinetly high to en-
able 1t to be occupied. the tenant is justi-
fed in moving out. But If the tenant re-
mains. though he does complain Of in
sufficient heat, he must pay the rent.
The court added: THE obligation of
the landlord of an apartment. of this
session of large part of the building.
which is to be used in common by the
tenants, undoubtedly imposes upon the
landlord the duty of maintaining In good
order and condition the portion of the
building which the tenant has a right to
use. For violation of this duty the
landlord would be responsible to the
tenant for any damage which was sus-
tanned by him.
IF the halls. stairways or elevators OF
the building were not maintained by the
landlord in a proper condition for use,
or If the walls or roof of the building
were allowed from lack Of repair to leak
SO that the tenants property was injur-
ed, there would undoubtedly be an action
for damages against the landlord. not as
understand, upon the breach Of an inn
piled covenant, but because the land ord
had failed to perform duty which
he assumes when he leased the apart
ment and was liable for the damage that
resulted. But there was no evidence that
this heating apparatus was not suf1i-
cient to heat the apartment. All that
appears Is that for some unexplained
reason the temperature Of the apart.
ment was not maintained SO as to make
it comfortable residence for the plain
tiff's family during some portion of the
winter. but having continued to occupy
the premises he became liable for the

resulted from an insufficient temperature
