Real Morality

"Provincialism is not morality"
says Dr. Frank Crane, "many CON
scientious people feel that whatever is
different is immoral.
''To many an honest villager and
farmer the city is a sink Of iniquity.
The unconscious ground for this con
viction is simply that so many things
are done in cities to which the rural
dweller is not used.
81 find a very common expression Of
opinion among those Of any nation,
section or race, that those Of another
are quite loose in morals. The Fngli N
think French are libertines, and the
French think English are $40, ties.
Methodists imagine shocking 'f'ngs
of Roman Catholics, and the latter
can curdle your blood with accounts
of the vileness OF the Methodists.
A church member in Kansas looks

Il would define real morality as
that principle in a soul which respects
the aanctities Of life, maintains 10y
atty in love, seeks and enjoys useful
daily work, subjects all desires to
judgment, subordinates personal to
altruistic motives, abhors dirt, and is
stern toward self, and lenient towards
others. Wherever you find a princ'-
pie working these works in man, you
have found morality, whether the man
be white, yellow, Christian or Mo-

Never a Worse Time

The manifest unfairness Of the i'm
migration bill as it came from the
senate with its amendment exempting
Belgian farmers from the literacy test
was not overlooked in the house where
the amendment has been rejected, but
by eliminating that discrimination the
house merely intensifies the cruelty
of the bill, which now shuts the door
of America in the face of every war
cursed illeterate in Europe, Belgians
and all. No matter what their suffer-
ing may have been, no matter how
unjustly they may have been treated,
no matter how useful, how good or
how strong they may be the bill as it
stands says to the European who can
not read: "You must stay out" Is
that typical of American character or
are we represented by the thousands
of generous people who are now help
ing to loads ships with food and with
clothing for the victims Of the war
without regard to their nationality,
their station in life or the fortunate
which gave them a schooling or de-
MED it?
Once again the republic insists that
there never was a worse time for the
passage of a restrictive immigration
law in the history of this country than
now. immigration is at low ebb, and
the war will keep it so. If there are
any of the oppressed of Europe who
can escape from the zone of war to
this country, whether they be Belgian
or Turk, they ought to be permitted to
come.-The Republic.

EDISON'S GREAT DISCOVERY
Oyereating Causes Most of Our Dis
eases and Most of Our Poverty

In his latest interview Edison de-
clares that the important conclusion
to which he has come during his
years of hard and constant efforts is
that everybody eats too much and
sleeps too much, that about all of the
worlds disease and a good part of its
poverty is due to overeating. The wiz
ard cites his own case in his conten-
tion about the increase of food he
eats not to exceed five ounces of food
day, including the water in the
food; that is about one-fourth of the
amount consumed by the average per
son.
Taking it the world over, foodstuffs
were never so high, and they We're
never so scarce as at the present time
Because Of the large amount of food
which the average family consumes,
the working man must spend a good
part of his wages for food alone. Thus
one solution of the high cost of liv-
ing is to eat less; to cut out the sur
plus and eat only what the body ac-
tually needs.
There is no question but what over
eating causes either directly or indi-
rectly good part Of all Of our dis
eases. Thus the loss to the nation
through the cost Of the excess food is
the smallest part of the loss through
overeating; the loss in early deaths
from food-induced diseases, the loss in
illness of various kinds due to over
eating, and, greatest of all, the loss
through inefliciency from the poor di-
gestion and poor nutrition which so
often results from overeating; all of
these losses must be taken into con-
sideration in order to get at the gi-
gantic loss that comes to the United
States every day through eating too
much.
The more we eat the more sleep we
need, for the reason that during sleep
a good part of the waste of the body
is prepared for elimination, and over
eating causes a great increase in the
daily amount of body WI 3te. Thus
overeating causes tremendous loss Of
time by making necessary an increas-
ed amount of sleep.

BEET SUGAR FACTORY FUR.
NIsHES GOOD SEASON; OUT
PUT 100000 SACKS
Democrat

The 1914-15 sugar beet season at
the Rocky Ford factory is over. The
last beets were sliced the first Of this
week and all will be made into sugar
before the factory closes this evening.
The factory has been in operation
since early in September or nearly
ll5 days in all
The total acreage contracted for by
the American Beet Sugar company
was just little more than 1900 acres
from which POI 500 tons of sugar beets
were harvested. From these beets
nearly 100000 sacks of sugar were
made, which is just a little short of
the total amount Of sugar made last
year For the 1894 season the
company had contracted 10000 acres
from which 212,O0O tons were har-
vested and $780, 900 sacks of sugar
were made. From this comarison it
is evident that the average tonnage
ran considerable higher this year than
last, and also that the average sugar
content of the beets this year was
some more than that of last year.
For the entire Arkansas valley the
average tonnage was twelve tons to
the acre. The average in the Rocky
Ford district was a fraction better
than twelve and one-half tons to the
acre, while the average lower down
the valley was less than twelve tons.
The average in the Weitzer district

lently excited or partisan. Our ma
tion is not fighting for world freedom,
we are only trying to do business.
Still less is our government an Inter
national bootlegger," as it has been
called, dealing out the implements of
death and destruction with supreme
disregard of where and how they are
used.
For the remainder of the time of
the war we may be sure that Great
Britain and her allies will buy as
many American goods and staples as
they need, passing them either across
the Canadian border or across the
Atlantic ocean, and at the same time
Great Britain will do all she can, in
every way that she can, to prevent
Germany from receiving the same kind
of articles If Germany is at any
time able to do so, she will undertake
to blockade the English and French
coasts, and she will not hesitate to
seize or to destroy neutral eargoes in
order to prevent food supplies reach
ing England.
The problem of neutral trade is
both difficult and dangerous and it
will continue to be so until the end
of the war. The policy of our govern
ment, and the temper of our people
should be of firmness but of unfailing
good nature. We should maintain the
principle Of the rights Of neutral trade
wherever we can discover any such
rights, but we should not forget our
own feelings when we We're on the
other side of the game during the
civil war, and we should remember
that the rights of neutral trade seem
very sordid and unimportant to pat
riots engaged in such desperate con-
flict as now occupies the thoughts Of
Frenchmen, Germans and Britons
alike.-Pueblo Chieftain.

with a more adequate supply Of la
Dor and should also lead to the cult
walton of greater acreage throughout
the country.
"our total farm products in 1914
are estimated by the government at
almost $1O,OOO,OOO,OOO in value, a fig
ure never before attained.
High prices for all food products
will enrich our farmers during 1915.
Prosperity is enabling our farmers
to buy more labor saving machinery,
purchase better grades of breeding
cattle and improve their home, thus
making their daily life more comfort
able.
Remarkable advances in agricul-
tural science combined with the un-
matched efficiency of our federal de-
partment of agriculture. have greatly
reduced the danger of any general
failure of crops"
The Lamar register., 1915-01-27
Neutral Trade and Contraband

The most perplexing and at the
same time the most dangerous fea-
ture of the European war, so far as
the United States is concerned is that
which relates to our foreign trade
with the nations now engaged in war.
And. as pointed out by President vii
son, in his first neutrality proclama-
ton message, the real danger Is not
so much that we shall stir up con-
troversy with some foreign nation, as
that we shall divide our own people
into hostile groups.
So far as the basic facts are CON
cerned the situation is simple. Great
Britain is trying to shut off German
supplies of every kind. France, of
course, is supporting the British po-
sition. Germany is desirous of OBJ
tanning from the United States and
other neutral countries not only the
things that may be used in making a
war, but also the many articles of
food, clothing and machinery that are
necessary for the support of a civilian
population.
The United States has a double in
terest, first, as a nation historically
committed to the principle of the
freedom of neutral trade; second, as
a great producing nation interested in
selling to all customers as many goods
as possible at the best prices that can
be obtained. Were Germany in com
mand of the seas, and trying to block
ade the British coasts our main diff
ference of interest would be with Ger
many. But the command of the seas
is held by Great Britain and her ally,
France. Germany's short coast line is
blockaded by the allied fleets, and so
is the much shorter coast of Austria.
The main problem therefore concerns
American goods shipped to neutral
country, such as Italy or Netherlands
and presumably intended for German
use.
Simple as are the main facts, there
is open a vast and complicated field
for controversy. The interests of
Great Britain and of the United
States are at variance in this matter,
Just as the interests of Germany and
the United States would be under
other conditions. international law,
so-called, has no decisive voice IN the
settlement of such matters. There Is
certainly no reason why the ordinary
American citizen should become vio-

the calendar year 1914. 1t clearly
demonstrates that the purported war
tax, which was held to be necessary
because the war shut off imports
was in realty a tax to care for def
icit due to combination of demo-
cratic laundering and extravaganza.
The total value of imports for the
calendar year 1914 amounted to ST.
7S9,O22,426 as against Sl,792, ,596, ,4S0
for 1913, or a decrease of only S3,574,-
O54 There was an increase of SlO5,-
.S45. .951 in the value of dutiable i'm
ports. This alone would not account
for the shrinkage of revenue. Much
of it is caused by the reduction Of
duties. The department has not yet
made public the average per cent of
duty collected.
1t is true that the Underwood bill
was expected to yield less revenue
than its predecessor. The increased
corporation. tax and the income tax
were expected to make up the defic-
iency. But unless the trainers of the
Underwood bill expected its schedules
to stimulate importatiOns, they cannot
blame the war for the shrinking in
revenue. If miscalculations as 10 the
yield of the income tax were respons-
ible for the discrepancy, this should
not be blamed for bad guessing. The
presidents estimate at the time he
sent his special message to congress
urging the necessity for the alleged
war tax, was questioned by the statis-
ticians of the House and Senate The
annual report of the Department Of
Commerce proves cOnclusively that
they were right and the president and
his advisers wrong
The years trade showed balance
of 1925 ,235,I13 in our favor, a little
less than half that Of the preceding
year. But this was furnished in Octo-
Der, November and December. De
cember's exports are the largest for
that month Of any year since 1909, ex-
cept 1912. Prior to the outbreak of
the war the imports of merchandise
greatly exceeded the exports. The
gold and silver exports greatly ex-
ceeded the imports, the gold excess
being $165, ,22s,4l5 for the year and
the silver excess S25,644 ,251. The
enormous gold exports began with
April and extended until the end Of
November, being NJ glizible in Decem-
Der. So far as our foreign commerce
is concerned the outlook is bright.
But a study Of the figures month by
month reveals that the war is respon-
sible for this condition. 1t is not pos
sible to tell exactly what the Under
wood tariff would have done, under
normal conditions, but the figures for
the few normal months afford little
comfort to its defenders. The war
