Nature Shrugs, and Town Vanishes

The gcat mountain shrugged its shoulders. ever
so slightly; big snowdrift cut loose and slid
down thousand feet into ravine; and part of the
town of Bingham Utah, vanished from the land.
scapc, with half a hundred lives cut short.
Probably the morning CT the tragedy came to
the residents of Bingham with intimaton that
the day was to be different from any other day.
One villager may have said, "A snappy winter
morning. as he left his house, another may have
remarked, Good and cold again today" third
may have hoped that the worst of the winter wac
over; but all went about their tasks undermining of
what to happen before night
In striking thus without warning, nature ran true
to form. 1t is always the way. There was adj
vance notice Of the San Francisco earthquake, no
mixing beforehand of the Illinois tornado, FORE
knowledge Of the Johnstown food These disasters
came suddenly, bursting into the orderly routine OF
life with their burden of death and destruction.
And those Of us who not involved in these
catastrophe who sit at hundreds thousands
Of miles way, and unframed; we are put to
thinking just little when we read of them
We think: How about those who were caught in
their homes when the landslide crushed them to
death? What were their sensations in those last
terrible seconds? What, in short is it like to die
suddenly and Unexpectedly?
And that, of course, brings to that other, more
battling question. Those men and women who died
when the snow and earth crushed down the
, roofs of Bingham: this catastrophe the end OF
everything for them, or only the beginning?
| 1t is question we cannot answer, try as we will
But we can hope, as men have hoped for countless
centuries. We hope that this terrible, unpity-
ing mood that nature wears when she sends land
slides, earthquakes and floods is not her true mood
but that she. is instead truly expressing the real
soul of the universe when she sends soft spring
breezes, August moons, hazy days in Indian Sum-
nler For we know that these things are good.
And, hoping thus, We can say, when disaster de
stroys the lives of men and women:
Their time here was up But it is not the end
for them. 1t cannot be the end. For this world is
good world, and we may safely trust that its real
meaning is not tragedy"

Editorial Comment
Another Farm Diagnosis

Professor Walter Burr socioogist at the Kan
Agricultural college, believes that az farming

farmers are not cooperative and therefore thai
(3) we must teach them to become so, thus "here's
where the rural school gets it's rush order from
the administration" He presents his argument in
the Independent.
AS to the first point if it is true for agriculture
the condition is peculiar to agriculture, since in
dividual success in other businesses is to be seen
on every-hand. This implies handicap peculiar
to agriculture, not placed other business. This
Indicated handicap actually exists in the tariff as
constituted. The way to remedy the condition al
legged in the first point therefore would appear to
be to remove. the handicap by adjustment Of the
tariff to give agriculture protection equal to that Of
other business AS to the second point it is fact
that independent businesses in which SC many
men share can show finer examples of cooperation
than the great American co-operatives American
farmers appear to be as good co-operators as the
average run of Americans. AS to the third poin:
in the chain, Professor Burr appears to be labornr
under Misrepresentation. The present generation
Of farmers is asking relief fer ITSELF not for pos
terity Agriculture cannot afford to wait for fl

Miami faced milk shortage. The production of
milk in that district it is urged, is almost negative
and the imposition Of the tuberculn test has been
impractical
Importation of milk into Miami before has been
from Ohio in regular refrigerator cars but the
method proved unsatisfactory. Milk of poor grade
has been selling in Miami for as high as IS cents

Growth of any state depends upon its supply Of
the chief foodstuffs. Florda's supply seems de-

There's Only One WAY TO Curb Divorces

western judge is arranging to install q micro
phone in his courtroom and broadcast the testimony
in the divorce cases that heard before him.
This, he believes, will impress the cizenry gen
orally with the tragedy and suffering of the divorce
court that fewer divorce suits will be filed
1t sounds well enough. But this jurst is max
ing the mistake that nearly everyone else does
when divorce is under discussion. He tackles the
problem hind end to.
For eliminating the divorce "evil" simply means
bringing about such a revolution in our ways and
characteristics that no one will any longer act on
impulse, be moved by sefishncss or jealousy, give
way to anger, philander lose tact. 1t means, in
short, that when everyone in the country acts like 4
cultured intelligent, kindly person. shall have no
divorce.
Divorces rare between persons Of real intelli-
gence. They are where the two parties, ever.
lacking intelligence Of any high order, yet UNI
selfish. tactful and DESTROYS of making 60 of it.
They extremely where there was any real
love both sides to begin with
There are a thousand causes for divorce But al.
most all Of them have their origins in things that
should be dscernible before the preacher was
called in.
Unfortunately, however, no matter how many
-"horrible examples" spread broadcast, by radio
or otherwise a great many people going to con-
tinue to be petty and selfish and blind and--we
just plain dumb; so divorces will continue for quite
"a time
The way out lies in raising the intellectual and
spiritual standards and capacities of the ordinary
man and woman. There is other way out and
never can be. Repressive measures won't settle q
thing,
And remember this. The alternative to the Amer
lean system of easy divorces is the European sys
tenn, where no one expects husband a wife te
be faithful; where it is taken matter of course
that they merely enduring each other after the
first year together where every wife is expected tc
have lover and every husband is expected to have
Il mistress.
Our divorce situation isn't SO pleasant to con.
slider. But the remedy will be long time in conf
ing, and things could be worse.
