The Event by the Press Pubtishing Company, No. 69 to 68 Park Row, New Tork Bntered at the Port-Omice at New York as Second-Ciass Mati Matter UME 47, . A NEW BREED OF MEN. To have Socialism succeed there must first be a different breed of nen. Before a man will work as faithfully for other men's families a5 for his own, before he will be more careful with other people’s money i than with his own, before he will strive harder without the personal in- entive, the future of man and ‘the facts of human nature must be | hanged. There must be a new kind of man 7 ‘The distinction between fact and theory is that a fact must be a Muth, while a theory may or may not be true. . More often a theory is part speculation ath part truth, part reality and part part tested Band part tentative. The history of mankind runs back ov and years. The records of early human life in the valleys of the Euphrates and the Nile prove the existence of identical $ then and now, of licentiousness, Of drunkenness and other mental and] physical excesses, They also prove | the existence of ‘identical virtues) then and now, of loyalty, of patri-| otism, of family love, of thrift, truth, industry and self-denial. — It) is doubtful whethér a single vice ex-| isted then which does not in some | form exist to-day.

By J. Campbell Cory, Septe ar mber 6, NEW 19007 Something Worse than Beggars on Horseback. ERHAPS the unhapplest of al! the unhappy sights afforded here on the ancient island reservation of the Lobater Tribe is the elderly got-rich-quicker who is trying to learn to ride a horse in a sassy and care-tree manner at an age when by rights he ought to be getting measured for one of those nice rolling chairs that they use in the incipient paresis ward. ‘Tis, Indeed, a and thing to behold the agontes of an old gentleman endeavoring to break into the same class with W. A. Cody when both nature and education have combined ta qualify him as an understudy to Aunt Hetty Green. r During the time the vener mifferer ts tight wadding together large quantities of the soft money he has the {dea that the only really desirable horses are divided into three clagses—clothes, carpenter’s and draught. When he feels that he needs a little outdoor exercise to tone up his system he takes « ride on the back of a street cas | down to a bank and shaves the inner cuticle off a few notes. To his untus [ tored understanding the main difference between horses and automobiles ia that efter you'd bought ‘em you always found out the horse was not brokem and the automobile was. As he figured it, Sodom and Gomorrah had doubte less been destroyed because their inhabitants were wicked enough to spend their money touring around tn hansom cabs instead of sticking to the trolley wervice and putting whet was left over tn the savings bank at @ per cent.

All euch things help, of course, but !t nearly always happens that toward the last old Mr. Nothing Butt decides that the best way for him to get into society is to ride in om borsebavk “Hie Uiritwa a mental’ picture of hinieelt; (soning Someiiing wes @n equestrian statue of Gen, Hancock, only bandsomer, knocking the giblets ost of & poto ball, wirtte Morha!!

So’ he enters himself in the infant class of one of the horse kindergar tens up by the Park, where they teach beginners either tn thelr first of second childhood to stay on the boiler deck of a steed without the use of hooks or Iineman’s spurs. He is pained to find that when he ciimbs on an ordinary-sized horse he is nine floors above the earth. Also that a horee is possible is by levelling down to the common average. Socialism is a levelting process. It means that the financial rewards the most successful are to be forbidden. The theory of this is that the benefits from exceptional ability would then be apportioned among the “faultitude. The fact would be that there would be no great gains to ap- “portion, for with the incentive gone the stimulus to success would cease. : Incentive of some sort is necessary to most human actions, Th Greater the incentive the more urgent is the spur to effort, The weaker | the incentive the less is the inducement to succeed, In the gratification of the basic appetites and passions nature has cre Vgted powerful incentives. Rather than starve any man will work. Rather ) than let his wife and children be exposed fo the storm he will exert to the Mittermost his muscles and his brain-to provide shelter for them. ib Whey may be better clad and better fed than other men’s wives and chil- . dren he will continue to strive beyond procuring the bare necessities.
