What's Become of Love!

The magazine editors are all waillns
for love stories and no one will write
them.
Tales Of problems, business, strikes
the feminist movement, high cost OF llv-
ing. slums and anything you may men
ton can be had in plenty, but to write
Of love, pure and simple, they Will not
attempt.
They say they don't feel" like 1t. even
when knowing that it means money IN
their usually empty pockets.
There must be reason for all this.
There was a time when love was the
only theme; now it is very side issue.
Are we through our various activities
and the scramble after enough to keep
the engine pumping in our bodies, losing
the finer side of our natures?
Are we. perhaps. spreading our love
(Which in old time fiction fixed itself
upon single, solitary individual and
| lived or died accordingly over larger
number of people and things?
Is il becoming communal instead OF
quite so personal?
If so it may be step in advance,
though of little use for magazine editors.
Or are we ashamed to show the better.
kindlier side of our nature in a world
which seems ton the outside) 70 have llt-
tie use for sentiment and feeling?
We do not know.
Our youth appear to be growing up
with an idea of love which is sensible,
clear sighted Venus mot very beautifully
with a money bag in her hand.
The pure article which delights in
sacrificing itself for the loved one, has
faded into the background.
We sometimes see it in the middle
aged but rarely in the young.
The youth and maiden of old time fic-
ton. who Just loved each other simply
and sweetly and were willing to endure
and conquer hardships as long as they
might do it hand in hand, we do not see.
Has the spirit of the times changed, or
what is responsible for all this?
The people demand these stories, else
the editors would not be so madly on the
look out fer them, and if they want
them, there must be need in their
hearts that cries out for satisfaction.
Have we swung too far the other way
in our quest for material gain, and are
we growing incapable of this instructive.

The closing of the breweries would

the result, he says.

We doubt if President Cannon speaks

matter, but if he does, where has organ

counties in Michigan have been going dry
and while breweries in many of these
counties were being put out of business?
