recommends a law be passed compelling
all unmarried men To serve in the army.

compel all men who did not care to serve
in the army 10 get married, l am moved

hard ON the woman who feels that the

THE SOURCE OF OUR ILLS.
DO Political Social Activities Of the Gov
eminent Cause the EyIls7

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN---Sir!
Broadly speaking. is 1t not true that our
present social and economic conditions
high cost of living. glut of city unem-
ployed, bread lines and prosututions are
primarily and logically the results OF a
lonr continued and systematic govcru-
mental policy?
The artificial stimulation OF manufac-
turing has led TO the extraordinary rush
to city shop and factory. at the expense
of the agricultural interests
The demand and relatively high wages
for factory labor have brought in mil
lions OF workers from abroad without a
corresponding increase In farm products
The greed and competition In all Fed
orally fostered industries have also en-
listed armies Of women, who have greatly
cheapened many forms Of labor aud
driven men therefrom or reduced their
compensation to that extent. No inteHl-
gent girl who can got to the city romans
In the country. The high school girl will
not marry a farmer.
Young workingneu can no longer sf-
ford to marry or are afraid of the bread
line Of poverty, while the shop girl steers
clear OF the washtub.
II Is stated that there are now 900
manageable men IN New York city alone
and some 300,0 women Of similar eligi-
bility, 10000 Of whom are IN various de-
grees on the down grade.
Is II not about time TO look things in
the face, to deal with them frankly and
truthfully? one needs only to read OF the
terrible results of Government "regula-
ton" in the period of some 200 years I'M
mediately preceding the French Revolu-
tion to realize the direction in which we
are drifting. The attempt 90 fix prices,
to regulate wages, to NEEDLE with AL
forms OF economic life ended in general
misery, general starvation and general
cussedness.

fers to the opening of the canal to use
by naval vessels. The canal was con-
structed for such use. The fact that the
naval vessels would probably have e
