All Need Not Go West
~ HE United States Department

" HE United States Department
of Commerce submits census
i figures concerning the length
of life in the various States of our
Union. Kansas leads in the expec-
tation of life of children born with
in that State. A white boy born
in Kansas may expect to live 1913
years, and white girl may expect
to live 60.S9 years.
The longevity of those born with
in their borders ranges the leading
States in the following order: Kan
sas, Wisconsin. Minnesota, Tennes-
see, Oregon, Washington, Kentucky,
North Carolina, Indiana, Virginia
and Missouri.
1t is striking but not strange that
the manufacturing States of the
Northeast are not in the list of
saubrious States. They have
great percentage of foreign popu-
lation, and there both men and
women are engaged in the more
hazardous pursuits of life. Factory
life is a hazardous pursuit. Not
only does machinery kill and main,
but the closeness of the air and the
floating particles of raw material
with which the air is filled are in
furious to health. On the other
hand in the salubrious States the
chief occupation is agriculture, the
work is done in the open spaces,
fresh air and sunshine; the land is
plentiful and the children play in
the green, sweet fields, in the pure
air and the bountiful sunshine.
On the other hand, it is also in
teresting to note how the length Of
life is increasing even in the manu-
featuring States under the minis
tration of our boards Of health and
the regulation of the hours and con-
ditions of labor.
Every law which shortens the
hours of labor and which protects
the working people from the dan.
gerous machines which they have to
handle, lengthens the lives OF hun.
dreds of thousands. In the "erig.
inal registration States Of New
England the length OF life has ad.
vaiesd three ysars in tbs last ten.

EDery Woman Would Like

BY DIR. Charles Fleischer-

No. there is no mistake in
the title of this article
Every Woman Would Like a
Wife.
Nor was 1t chosen to catch
your attention. AS a matter of
fact, the present writer heard
1t emerge" from a hubbub of
conversation. 1t was utterej
by an intellectual friend, who
combines the traditional, cye--
lasting charm Of femininity with
the newly acquired virility of
the ultra.modern woman.
She is here described in detail.
partly as a deserved personal
tribute and partly because she
is typical Of an enormous, ,yrow.
ing, and as yet hardly recognized
kind of woman.
This sort has been latent for
ages in the race that is strug-
Cling to become human. and Is
at last coming to flower rs the
characteristic development of
our particular stage Of civi,iza.
ton.
Indeed. the fact that worn1n
is coming to her own really
means that Humanity is finally
arriving at realization Of its hu.
snanness.

EcoNoM1c self dependence

for women are only superficial
symptoms Of an Incidentally
more significant underlying
fact, namely the. disentan ngie-
ment Of the soul Of the race
from the thraldom of male domi-

Which means not that men
will resign and women will .tr,le
but only that male autocracy is
doomed along with Kaisers ana

man democracy Is at hand.

Religious war is the worst kind.
The Russian law would punish with
death anybody that teaches religion
in schools, PUBLIC or PRIVATE.
They say schools are for POSITIVE
knowledge, not for religion based
on faith. .......
That is all right as regards public
schools, especially in this country.
Where there are different religions,
no one should be selected for teach
ing in the schools to be forced on
children of different faith.
But in private schools, paid for
by the fathers and mothers, NOT
by public taxes, there should be
no objection to any kind of religion
f. if fathers and mothers wish to pay
for it, whether it be Mohammedan,
Russian. Christian, Jewish, Zoroas-
trian, Buddhist or Confucian.
Making a religion to order, like
making a language to order, has
often been tried, but 1t Will not
work.
Belief GROWS, like a tree, slowly
changing through long years, but
not changing SUDDENLY.
Wise Napoleon, after France in
the revolution had banished Chris
tian faith. decided that he needed
q SDirituGL Oenddr1,1erie. lust as he
needed a physical army. He re-
stored the church, the pay and
rights of the clergy. But he took
the old religion.
He made new laws, giving his
name to the famous Code Napoleon
(chiefly borrowed from the revolu-
ton, by the way. But he knew
enough not to try making up a
Napoleonic RELIGION.
You can MAKE laws, you can t
make FAITH.

Lausanne, Nov. "a, (By the Assoc.
ciated Press Turkeys spokesman al
the Lausanne conference, hearing OF
the arrival of American missionary
Representatives here, expressed the
hope that American philanthropic and
education institutions would not be
needlessly alarmed by the advent Of
the new regime in Turkey. The Renal
ist agents explained that there was no
disposition to drive out Americans,
especially those engaged in educational
and charitable undertakings
1t was pointed out, however, that
Turkey saw no reason why foreign
institutions. wlsether educational or
industrial, should be dealt with diff
ferently than Turkish institutions and
that if Turkeys schools and factories
paid taxes then foreign establishments
should also.
The Angora delegates declared that
there should be no special privileges
for foreigners in Turkey and insisted
that it should be also understood that
all schools. whether foreign or Turkish
should teach the Turkish language.
The problem of Thrace and the west
ern boundary of Turkey still occupied
the attention Of the conference to-day.
The sub. commission of the fun COM
mission on territorial military ques
tions, comprising group of experts,
was wrestling with the boundary ques-

LET'S TRY 1T OUT

Various inquiries have come TO
the Plainsman concerning the article
about the Mammoth French Arti-
choke which appeared in a recent
issue and a number of our farmer
and ranchman readers seem inter-
ested.
We believe that a test of this
plant should be made in this part
of the Southwest, since II gives
promise of being a very valuable
addition to our forage crops. We
all know what a hardy, drouth re-
sistant plant the sunflower is and
how il will persist in growing in the
dryest weather. While il is prob
able that the improved artichoke
would not prove so hardy. there is
reason TO believe that il would do
well in this section and its feeding
value has already been proven by
tests in other parts of the country.
