PO|ygamy and =

GOlyHamy came lnlO DellB Win tlie
Mormons simply as a matter of ex-
pediency.
Read history and you will find that
nomads, entering on the agricultural
stage, have always been polygamists'
Hard work and unending toll fill
the lives of the pioneers. Sentiment
is at a low ebb. That is something
which comes later. Children are in
demand, and polygamous marriages,
sanctifed by religion, regulate the
sex question.
Abraham and Jacob on the plains
of Assyria were polygamists.
Polygamy, under certain conditions,
the biologist recognizes is eminent
ly right and proper, because it is nat
ural.
Plural wives were happy wives.
The disciples OF Brigham Young did
not depress and repress their women
Life was free, Joyous aud filed with
religious zeal and hard work. Sue
cess crowned their efforts and the
earth laughed a harvest.
Wealth followed, as it always does
when men, women and children work
together-worE in JOY work ntoli-

We must judge things by results.
BY their fruit shall ye know them.
With the second and tnird gener-
alton, the refining OF sentiment and
the advent Of art uolygamy was grad-
uauy sloughed, and monogamy be-
comes the mle-all this in response
to natural law.
At the last, people cannot be gov

succeed, legislation must be IN line
with the ebb and flow Of the tides Of

Nothing more ,ruel, wicked, bitter

than the enforcement of the Edmunds

THE STORY OF WAR

II isn't always necessary TO give all
the details in telling a story. The
imagination Of a normal person may
be permitted to ill in the gaps, the
power Of suggestion is so great. This
is especially true Of story concerning
war. The mind is doubly acute in
picturing war and its horrors. For
this reason the following written by a
young English officer in training is al
most classic:
However, though they have taken
no officers yet Imeaning none of those
in training have been shipped across
the channel to the battle 'front.' signs
are not wanting that they will take
some soon. Today each Of us was

We join today the East and West,
The stormy and the tranquil seas,
o Father, be the bridal best!
The Earth is on her knees.
Thou, Thou did'st give our hand the
might
To hew the hemisphere in twain,
And level for these waters bright
The mountain with the main.
In freedom, let the great ships go
On freedoms errand, sea to sea;
The ocean rise, the hills, bend low,
Servants of liberty.
The nations here will flash through
foam
And paint their pennons with the
sun,
Till every harbor is a home
And all the flags are one.
We join today the East and West,
The stormy and the tranquil seas,
o Father, be the bridal blest!
Earth waits it on her knees.

I The proud Farmer spurneth it and

The Wise Men Of the Agricultural

The bugs devour it not and the

She bringeth forth from the oven
the Pumpkin Pie, and the odor there

Seventh of November.

Lawrence, Kan, July S.-This years
annual football game between Kansas
university and the University of Mis-
souri, will be played on Thanksgiving
day instead of the preceding Saturday
as has been the custom for the past
three years.

change in the date of the big game
follows the action of the Missouri Val

ing made some years ago, when
Thanksgiving day games were decreed
against.
Many believe that the change in the
date of the Kansas Missouri will mean
that the game may be played in Kan
sas City again this year.
The following is K. US schedule as
announced today:
