6h,uAN HOME.


Coincident with the rise OF the mod
ern feminist movement has been the
rapid and widespread increase through.
out the United States of the divorce
evil and the breaking up of the home.
There are three reasons for this
alarming state OF things: a. Woman's
failure to realize that marriage is her
work in the world (2) Her growing
lndividualsm; (S) Her lost art OF Civ
Ing, which has been replaced by a
highly receptive faculty and a feeling
that men are tyrants.
TO this may be added economic fac.
tors coming from high cost Of living
with consequent tendency of men to
postpone marriage and the attitude OF
modern women in relation to children
From the earliest dawn of history
the raising'and bearing of children has
been woman's part in life and her
work in the world. The mans part is
to provide the home and to protect
the women and children. To speak
against this is to be ignorant OF the
fundamental facts of life and history.
There never was a great man who did
not have a great mother. Woman's
task is the greater because on her de.
pends the future Of the race. The fail.
ure to recognize these facts is at the
root of the increase in l4oken homes
and wrecked lives.
The significance OF the increase in
the divorce evil is to be sought in its
relation to the family and the social
order rather than in it's bearing on in.
dividual morality and happiness. Sin,
to use the theological term, is today
more social than Individual Individu-
ality must be subordinatcd to the good
| OF the social whole. Much of the dis
order and discomfort Of today is due to
that feminism is driving indivdualism
so far that the individual asserts her

THE COTTON POOL.

A strange situation arose over form.
ing the gold pool to support the price
of cotton. NominalN this was simply
to make possible loans to producers or
holders of cotton to enable them to
tide over the period OF very slack de-
mand for an abnormally abundant
crop.
But in fact every one recognized
that the object was to support the
price. This has developed from sub.
sequent action in forming a combina-
ton to fix the price at nine cents be-
low which cotton shall not be allowed
to drop.
This being the general view and
the known object, a number of bank
ers declined to subscribe to the pool
unless assured by the attorney gen.
eral that they would not be violating
the Sherman act. They could clearly
see restraint Of trade. a combination
to hold up the price of a commodity.
OF ourse the attorney general gave
the desired opinion. Of course he Is
technically correct. On the ace of
the pooling agreement there is no
question OF price involved. 1t is a
mere matter OF uniting the banks to
extend credit. 1t is a legitimate COM
mercial banking transaction.

THE FOUNDATIONS ARE SOLID.

Chicago Herald: Our fruitful soil
and the industry and skill of it's tillers
have given the American republic this
year harvests which break all records
in value and many records In vol
urnc. Aggregate farm values of the
important crops are placed by the de-
partlnent of agriculture at $5.06S,472,-
900.
Despite q shrinkage of values Of cot
ton, owing to a narrowed market and
smaller present demand as a result Of
the European war, estimated at $41S,-
600, the aggregate value of the
great crops on Nov. l were placed at
100000 900 above the aggregate of
last year.
The importance of these figures Is
their demonstration of the solidity of
the foundations of II prosperity as
a nation. They inspire. a splendid
hope, they Justify the firmest conf
dence for the future, in every line of
trade and industry. They assure the
means for material progress III every
department Of withdrawing en-
deavor.
! At peace with all the world, with no
foreign foe. even remotely threatening,
with no cause for fear or disturb
ance of u domestic tranquility, we
have as a people the most abundant
and even unexampled reasons for
thankfulness, for courage and for con.
fidence,.
The greatness of our opportunities
as a nation, material and moral, is
without example or precedent In the
history of mankind. The use we
shall make of them depends upon our
selves. To make the best use of them
for ourselves and for humanity we
have to be prudent, energetic, enter
prising and bold. --
A greater place in the world, a
more beneficent influence, . progress
unequalled even in our own wonderful
history. is ours for the going forward

portunities before US.

THAT TAX LEVY.

In a Bismarck article on the state
tax levy, which appeared in The Her
aid yesterday. there are some inaccu-
racies which should be pointed out,
in order that the public may lave a
clear understanding of the situation
as it stands.
In the article the following para
, graph appears:
THE board Of equalization. in order
to keep good tho credit of tho state,

The only Interpretation which could
or would be placed on this by the or
equalization. finding hat the sun OF
all the legislative appropriations and
the amount necessary to operate the
state departments would require a tax
levy in excess OF the constitutional
limit. scaled down all the appropria-
the total levy In the maximum fixed
in the constitution. In reality, the
board Tic nothing of the sort.
The board levied. first, three mills
for the purpose of meeting the eX-
penses OF the state government and
by the c legislature. That left one
mill u of the four for all other pur-
poses. exclusive of sums required for
state bonds and interest. But there
were standing appropriations as fol-
lows:
~berculosis, .05 mills; glandered horses,
10 mills; educational institutions.
1.125 mills: agricultural training
schools. .02 mills; terminal elevators,
.1c5 mills. This makes a total of
LAT mills. or nearly half a mill more
than the board thought vas available.
1t was these sums. and not the gener-
al appropriations. which were scaled
down, and they were scaled down, not
o~ne-eighth. but within a small fraction
of one-third. The levy for education
al purposes was cut from 1.125 mills
to .76525 mills, the other standing ap-
preparations being cut in the same
proportion.
AS has been said before, il the board
has authority to provide such sums for
future appropriations that 1t is neces-
AIRY to reduce standing appropriations
one-third in order to keep within the
legal limit. it must have authority to
provide larger sums for those future
appropriations, and there is no reason
why this, a ministerial and not a leEis-
lative body, could not In the same
manne cut appropriations for educa-
tional institutions and other special
purposes provided for by the legisla-
ture one-half. or two-thirds, or wipe
them out altogether.
