the story ot man's progress, is that
we must learn to encourage growth
and meet change with our highest
intelligence, instead of trying to
stop the advance of thought with
brutish violence, sleepy prejudice
and cowardly misrepresentation.
Society has not yet become pro
grc sive. Most of us have exactly
as much progress as our fathers
have dumped at our feet—no more.
But to bo progressive we must win
advance ourselves,—it cannot be
given.
Life itself is change, and men
are slowly learning that um hang
ing dogma is inevitably pernieiuos,
that we must either grow or decay,
that expansion is that law of life
and conservatism the principle of
stagnation, and that an open mind
and fair reception for tlie new
must be flic attiude of all healthy
men.

With us a worker is subjectively
debased in his employment. His
personal sovereignty and elf-re
spect are to be. It is only when
unemployed that he has self-inte
grity and, of course, in this period
physical wretchedness confounds
him.
Xo man is free who goes to work
at another's whi tie. The unem
ployable tramp is an apostate who
pays the supreme price of all of life
for a single joy cf it.
Labor wt es and weds Ea th. The
hild born to them is Wealth.
Likewise the worker have all
the money. The employers of labor
have learned that through a pro
cess of constantly giving money
they induce a reciprocal process on
the part of labor of constantly giv
ing luxury and comfort to them.
A given species survives through
llie principle cf mutual aid and dies
by competing with itself. Let u
haul down the design “Each for
Himself’ and hoist the legend “All
for All.”
