NAS RENTED IT ing THE DAY, THs 1S THE ON Room | HAVE they J AGENT HAS RENTED THE CLOSET TS STorRe W/iS Booze acts and Comments,” a work in which he summed up the studies of half a century, Herbert Spencer says I detest (hat conception of social progress which presents as its aim increase of population, growth of wealth and spread of commerce In this politico-economic ideal of human existence there is contemplated QUANTITY only, not QUALITY.” James Martineau, the greatest thinker along ethical lines that the race has produced since Aristotle, says: “Aptitude for business is not power of reason; and the grandee op the Exchange may be a pauper in God's uni- verse, And so it turns out that the foremost scientist and the greatest moralist of the nineteenth century are found to be in perfect agreement as to what | constitutes real social progress; that it !s an affair of quality rather than | quantity, of spirit rather than of bulk. Spencer's conclusion came as the result of fifty years of inductive Tesearch and reasoning, while Martineau's conclusion was purely apriori, ‘an intuition as it were; and yet they are in substance identical, Both of these supreme thinkers agreed in maintaining that, in the final | ‘analysis, our real wealth is to be found not in material progress but | in spiritual growth, not in commerce and its. profits, but in intelligence and wealth, tempered and beautified by kindness, justice and the feeling of brotherhood. Measured by this rule—by quality rather than by quantity, by the imner spirit and life rather than by the outside things—how does the average “Captain of Industry” or financial magnate compare, let us say, with Socrates, or Marcus Aurelius, or Emerson, or Abraham Lincoln, or, for that matter, with the humblest man of “plain living and high thinking?” Judged by this canon, what are we to think of the great modern mv- tropolis—London, Paris, New York—with its industries reaching out to ‘the ends of the earth, its commerce on every sea, its skyscrapers laughing old Babel’s towers to scorn, its strong boxes making the treasuries cf old Rome, Tyre and Venice look like “thirty cents?” | Is it a gilded sham, a splendid poverty? All depends upon the ®wer that is given to the question, How many true men and women docs | the great city contain, how many inhabitants with unfeigned devotion to | simple duty, how much domestic purity and peace, how much civie right eousness, how much whole-hearted square dealing and genuine good will? Little Attica, not half as big as the State of Rhode Island, made a Breater advance in true civilization in the two generations between the Battle of Marathon and the opening of the Peloponnesian War than any of the modern nations has made in thousands of years. Attica aimed after qualiiy—the others after quantity. Take Germany, for instance Attica strove after the spiritual, Ger many after the material, with the result—-a tine instance of poctic justice tat she was destroyed by the brutal god she so persistently adored, And now that the ideal of Bulk and Brutedom has been overthrown let A TRAVELLING SALESMAN ANOTHER GENT WHO" HAS IT ON SUNDAYS WORKS IN DAY TIVE HAS IT AT , NIGHT __ —— SIC 'EM TIGE!
