CITY-COUNTRY RIVALRY.

There Is one fact in most American elections
which might puzzle the disnterested outsider That
IS the regularity with which urban and rural popu-
lations take directly opposite sides in many mat
.ers up for the consideration Of both and for de
clsion by ballot This apparent conflict is most pro
nouncsd Of course. the states IN which there are
very large urban populations But it is found to be
true 20 a surprising extent in those states IN
which the chief cities are barely more than small
There Is something oddly mistaken in the respee-
tive attitudes which permit such wide divergence
of wishes and opinions. It Is obvious to any sincere
and thoughtful person that legislation which is for
the best good OF any group Of citizens is so only be-
cause It is at the same time for the best good Of
all The big Industrial centers and the hnly settled
rural sections are mutually dependent upon each
other for true prosperity. health and happiness
Candidates who wholly acceptable to one
group and distrusted by the other must stand for
narrow and selfish principles But it is not the can
didates fault Until these big population groups
the rural and the urban-are willing to forego
selfish demands and TO substitute instead whole
hearted trust in each other and desire for CO
operation for the benefit Of all, this apparent op-
position OF will remain In the meantime 1t
is a sad comment on human shoIt-sightedness.

LORETTA


Loretta should by right Of origin

cepted form is due 10 the italian in
fluence which destroys the french
Eau" and supplies the letter equiv
alent to its pronunciation.
Loretta signifies laurel" but
there is considerable difference Of
opinion in regard TO her source.
Some etymologists believe that it is
taken from the masculine Taurus
and that the ladies SO called should
consider st. Laurence as their pa
tron. Others contend that il is
taken from the Greek word laura
meaning avenue and applied 10 the
clusters Of hermitages which event
ually formed the nucleus of monas-
teries. a religious Interpretation is
that the name Lauretta was evolved
10 commemorate the laurel grove. or
lOreto, 10 which the Italians believe
the angels transported the holy
house OF Nazareth during the con-
quest of Palestine.
But whatever theory is correct.
Lauretta made her debut as a fem
mime name among the Flemish in
1852. Her next appearance was in
the time Of King John when
daughter OF William de Rraose.
Lord Of Bramber, was so called
After that, the name came into pop
ular usage throughout England and
France. In the latter country, it is
called Laurette.

THE LEGION And THE BONUS.

visions
bonus IN cash or in certificates maturing in
90 years on the basis Of length of service.
Vocational training.
Aid in buying home farm.
Land settlement.
In this latter provision 81 states have already
promised cooperation.
It is only reasonable that the men who risked life
and health for $50 ninth should have some COM
pensation for their service consideration Of the
fact that the men who stayed home were fatten-
ing high wages and juicy opportunities 1t is not
a matter OF giving bonus for serving his
country Being paid for doing his plain duty in the
matter Of defending his home and people has been
no part Of the Legons idea. But some sort Of COM
pensation which would attempt make less wide
the gap in earning power between those who
and those who did not is what the Legion hopes to
secure
The amount necessary 70 pay this adjusted COM
pensation' is tremendous. even in these years of
millions and billions It will have to come out of the
taxes Of the whole nation. No matter how just the
claim. the collection of so vast a sum will be ex-
trenely dificult
Difficulties. however, are usually but a spur TO the
genius Of Young America. Just how it is going to
be done. no thoughtful person quite sees at pres
ent. But the boys want bonus. unquestion-
ably they will get g.
