Are we never to hear the end of this hhigh-sounding, half-understood, utterly misguided notion that to epread peace and righteousness over the earth we have only to plans down the heads of humanity to a dead level and then trust the mass! to shuffle along in the right direction? The socialists have dinned it into our ears for years. Is the Church to put ite stamp and seal on this much advertised nostrum? Down with the individual! How far has any nation ever pro- @reseed on the follow-the-flock principle? Has not every country that ever started in to make a sheepfold of itself suddenly waked up to find some keen-eyed conqueror-driver with a trusty dog or two rounding up the whole concern for his own purposes? To what do we as a nation owe our proud position, accomplish- ment and promise if not to the century and more of individual free- dom, of individual eagerness and energy and unchecked ambition fostered by institutions planned to give every man a chance to work for himself, better himself and secure to himself and his flesh and! blood the rewards of struggle and waiting? Because some men atenl more than their share, or are rewarded immensely beyond thelr deserts, shall the honest man full of strength and hope atifle his | instincts and make common cause with the envious and lazy? Justice, fair play, equal chance, a heavy hani for the crnel and grecily, a kind hand for the helpless and unfortunate—let us dili- | gently preach and further these things. But let ue have done with unworthy fears and empty mouthings that the “individual” is danger- ous and “doomed.” The “individual,” with his confidence and hope, his aim to win & high place for himself and hia children, his everlasting struggle | with selfishness ennobled by restraint and enlightenment, his pride and self-respect as aj free, strong, independent being, helping and being helped by othed independent beings—this despised “individual” is the life principle of our civilization. Guard him ard his rights te the last breath. We are a community—not a herd.

Not to put too fine a point upon it, this Mr, Wolf enjoys unusual opportunities for amassing vast sums in the street. He has connections in the innermost holy of Wall street's holiest. This connection—the private secretary of a world-famous banker or something equally imposing—ts supplying him weekly, with informa- tion whi6h Mr. Wolf 1s turning to very good account. (His general appearance of prosperity does much to strengthen this line of canvassing.) It has occurred now that much larger eums might be realized if more capital for operating were forthcoming, Several friends have come in with him on the deal and weekly have drawn « substantial profit—something like 6 per cent. per week on their investment, Tf Mr. Lamb wishes to join this pool he may deposit any amount he wisties, for which he will be given credit, and each week he will be given 6 per cent. profit, or this profit may be pansed to his credit on the books and tn its turn yield other - increase, .

At the end of the week he receives a statement showing that the pool operated that week in Tennessee Carpet (which enjoyed @ substantial rise), and a cheek for 6 per cent. of his $50 or $100 js inclosed, with the suggestion that he can increase his account or withdraw it entirely at any minute.
