ONE OF THE COGS AND THE
MONKEY WRENCH
When a man says he most assuredly
was set here on earth for a certain
purpose, averring at the same time
that he does not believe in any 01
the supernatural gods, it is pretty
safe to conclude that somewhere bach
in his neck in some backward cells
ot his lower brain lingers still that
old superstition, that variety of gods,
tha* previous to creation must have
been dangling in unfathomable space
of nothingness. This short reference
to another dispute over my scribbling
in The Gateway should, if s< enis. be
sufficient to undo my opponent, but
1 know better, moreover, I would not
rob myself of the great deal ot 'un
I expect through enlarging somewhat
on this specific and most thanksgiv
ing subject. He is a cog, this triend
of mine, and there are others to help
him to complete that universal wheel
of his, miraculously jammed in his
“cranium hontinis.” I am the pro
verbial monkeywrencli( the villain
that aims at stopping the wheel on

his very cog. He thinks that the Al
mighty himself has taken special cave !
smoothly to prepare his cog to tit
his part in the plays of universal
performances. Could he really have
been called upon in advance to take
this his propounded side of our con- j
troversy. I know I have not been :
assigned to take the opposite view j
On the contrary of my free will I
set forth:
It is just because in its building
The world is enough in itself,
That harmony glows in its move-:
ments,
Regardless 01 gods made by man.
In exultation over my opponent’s
fantasis I must exclaim: The Idea!
Of course it is not new but decidedly
an ancient one, that cannot stick in
our days. All fitting is done by un
conscious nature or by natural laws,
those slow processes that cannot
be duplicated by any consciousness,
godly or not. The equilibrium of the
universe for instance, is absolutely
self-adjusting. A deity, big enough
to watch the details of the infinite
universe is practically unthinkable,
j Man, “homo sapiens,” the only con
I scious being that we know of, ac
knowledges willingly that a job of
I that kind is too big for his earthly
! limitations. Man is likewise the only
; being that can have any conscious
j purpose with any act of his, unless
i some of the higher auimals possess
j such qualifications in a lesser degree.
I do not mean a giraffe, but a man—
! saving St. Bernard. Scarcely how
i ever would my friend submit to this
last chance to win by admitting to
have been prepared by this admira
ble animal for his specific and pur
poseful station on earth. Consequently
jiif he does not, he must accept un
conditional surrender on at least
two scores to his none in my favor.
That he will acknowledge to be down
and out is out of the question. Nev
ertheless I, the undersigned, must in
the name of justice claim to have
| cracked the hardest nut that any one
ever ret out o eat up. All the same
I steel-cog. Any competent and impar
jtial referee would give me ihe de
j cision.
And now you might like to know
jwhom I refer to; but in that line
I there is nothing doing. We shall both
I laugh, I can assure you after the
controversy has been definitely set
j tied, and I have no doubt that the
handshake and grips of the monkey
I wrench and the steel cog, often per
! formed before, will be as heartily and
| firmly indulged in now as any time
| in the past.
