EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Now that the revival sea
son is over, it is time that we
buckle in and work out the
unfinished projects,mill,store
and cannery. Now is the time
to get behind the directors of
the H.T.Co. and help, Some
persons stand around the
stove in the store and knock
the directors. Why don’t you
get up in the Community Cen
ter meetings and give your
criticism. Too often we are
loathe to criticise without of
fering a workable idea’ The
directors are the agents, the
representatives of the Co. If
they don’t carry out the wish
es of the majority of the stock
holders, you can recall them
from office.
1 he New Native believes in
public spirit. When a man
walks.The street and sees a
plank turned over with a nail
sticking out that might cause
harm to humans and autos
he will stoop and turn the,
plank over. You can always
tell if a man a has social con
science. The man who told a
director the day after the
storm that the directors ought
to go and pickup all the lum
ber that drifted away did not
show the cooperative spirit.
Being a stockholder, it was
as much his duty to pick up
the lnmber. If it were not his
duty, it were at least to his
interest. Too many remarks
are dropped to harass the
presidentwo his devoting him
self unselfishly to the interest
and growth of the Co. It is
high time to survey ourselves
whether we are a help or a
hindrance in the great con
structive program before us.

thinks education should be
brought to the natives of Ala

out to the States to attend
industrial educational insti
tutions. The Empirea grees
with The Chronicle. It has
i been many years since it first
suggested that here is the
place to educate train the
: natives.

HaPPINESSOF
MANAND WOMAN
ARE DESCIRBED
Professor Says That Prime
Purpose Is the Rearing Ro
bust Children—Causes
For Divorces
Happiness of man and woman is
only of secondary affair in marriage,
the prime purpose of which is to pro
duce robust children, Professor Will
iam J. Durant, of Columbia Univer
sity said in a lecture at the Sinia So
cial Center here. "Where there are no
children there is no marriage,” he
added.
Free love is impossible, the profes
sor said, because conquests of a man
are praised by other men, "but if a
woman had had one free love affair
she is held in ridicule and belittled by
her associates.”
“Most men who marry after the^
have become incapable of love," thP
professor continued, “and then comes
your divorce.
Courts say that divorces are due
to cruelty, drunkness and half a doz
en other things, but they are all
wrong. The three fundamental rea
sons for divorce are:
“1. The natural vanity of both
sexes. ’ \
‘‘2. Psychological incompatibility.
“ 3. Lack of children.” \
