The Paths of Perdition.

IRON the Puritan villages of the Berkshires
i Calvin Coolidge, Vice President OF the United
States, has brought most oi the old New England
virtues and some OF the old New England preu-
dices. All the philosophy oi life he has is the
product OF the hill farmhouses-and il is a good
philosophy in its way. II is philosophy that has
produced hard workers and honest men. forcefu
thinkers, brilliant drcamcrs. beautiful women 1t is
a philosophy that enables triumph over
poverty and hardship, ever hunger and cold over
disagreeable discipline and adverse fortune. But it
is philosophy that sometimes mixes cause and
effect, that sometimes makes adversely an end in
itself
Mr.. Coolidge is typical thinker along the
lines OF this philosophy. He betrayed his intel
lectual ancestry in address in Chicago the other
day. The national prosperity he told his audience,
is causing women to kill their husbands and young
girls to elope i'll erotic marriage pacts. He thinks
the American people have got too much money
and use it wrongly. Old-fashioncd standards of
virtue are necessary he declares. to bring America
to moral normally
What Mr. Coolidge fails to. realize however
is that Chicago Washington is much nearer
moral normally than the New England village of
1870. We will admit that there are many repre-
hensible goings-on about the streets and homes of
the District of Columbia in the present wear of
Our Lord. But we will not admit that moral
conditions here are one-tenth bad as they were
in the villages about Northampton Mass twenty
hve years ago. 1t is our contention that electric
lights, bathtubs, automobiles, airplanes and decent
salaries have brought with them a steady improve
ment in national morals The average resident of
Chicago the average resident OF Washington
has a abundant supply of those qualities
which will appeal to St. Peter on the Day of
Judgment than the average woman in
Salem, Mass, before the American Revolution
One phase OF American history has been left
in obscurty, apparently intentionally, by all
chroniclers. We never have comprehensive
study OF the morals OF rural communities from
Maine to Texas during the latter half OF the
nineteenth century. Some day We hope an historian
who cannot be intimidated will set himself at this
task. He will not produce pleasant book-but
It will be useful. 1t will do away forever with
the popular that the people of the United
States growing worse.
In the newspapers this morning we read OF a
murder or so. Details OF OF these are rather

1t Is never going to be possible
in this world to have an absolutely
equitable distribution OF either

for that matter. ability or capacity.
The bald fact remains that there are
numbers of married women in the
government service (many of whom
with husbands holding equally as
good or better positions) while the
are unfortunately many married
men, often with several mouths to
feed and bodies to clothe. looking
in vain for employment. This Is
admittedly an inequitable distribu-
