Why They Leave the Farm

The real cause of the flocking Of people
10 the cities Is the Unborn desire OF the soul
for spiritual freedom.
Country life seems open and free; in
reality it is cramped and thrice barred.
The man who lives in n small town is in
some respects like prisoner In penal
colony. His overseer Is Mrs. Grundy. lie
has TO render account TO her for all his
goings out and comings in. If he is an
hour late at the store the village must
know why. II he takes a train there is no
peace until everybody knows where he is
going. why he Is going. and when he is
coming back.
There is certain standard Of village
morality to which he must conform. He
must not play poker, nor go TO the theatre,
nor attend a horse race, nor go a-fishing
on Sunday. He must not have an automo-
bile unless his bank balance warrants 1t.
These are excellent regulations. II he
breaks them the bank cashier will see that
he shall be lent no more money, the pastor
will pray ut him, the Ladies' Aid Society
will talk about his wife, and in the end he
will find himself, tho he might be rather
decent sort, forced into the category of
the village drinkard and the town infidel.
Now. no man dare say these restrictions
are wrong. The best people" would stone
him. The youth finds he cannot criticise
this continual espionage. Consequently the
most independent and vigorous souls quietly
slip away and come TO the city, where they
may go TO ruin as they please.
For only when one can 60 TO the devil at

of any moral character that is worth a
cent is liberty.
In the city the man does (or mott what
he thinks is right. In the small town the
man does Cor mott what Mrs. Grundy
thinks is right.
In the village, righteousness is conformity.
In the city, righteousness, if any, is indi-
vidua.
Folks come TO the city for moral fresh

Consequently all the schemes for Turing
people TO the countryside, by offering them
land and plenty of bacon and beans, and
long life, and money, will fail until yotl
offer them what all men, good and bad,
want more than bread and meat, to-wit,
freedom.
OF course, weak souls also come to the
city, and vice burns ten times hotter in
city slum-furnaces, but precisely because
city vice is more open, il is not so dangerous
as the dull, secret glow of vice continually
burning under the prohibitions Of the village
moral order. The worst plan with he'll is
to nail down the lid.
