CIIE great, corporate problem before the American people is not how to wipe out the new domain of property represent ed by the corporation, nor how to hinder or hamper it, nor how to take it over into national proprietorship; nor, sim ply, how to make those who have already come into its pro prietorship deal fairly and benignantly with the people, as the great proprietors in the monarchies of Europe might be required to (foal fairly with their peoples. I lie great problem that confronts the statesmanship of this day, like that which confronted the statesmanship that had to deal with the public landed domain, is HOW TO PEOPLEIZE THE OWNER SHIP OE THIS NEW DOMAIN; how to widen and deepen the popular stake in this new possession; how to sweep forward into the age that is to come, losing nothing overboard from the age that is pass ing; but with everything aboard so really republicanized that in the public mind there will be no feeling that tinder our laws and under the practical opportunities for an individual canter that our laws are supposed to furnish the field is not open TO ALL ALIKE. It is not the appetite of the men and women of America for food tlint creates our problem. It is not their wish for entertainment or change. What creates our problem is that witter present corporate policies THE INSTINCT OE INDEPENDENT MANHOOD, the instinct that characterizes us as a people, finds no field for exercise. And what confronts us is to find a way that will, with reasonable secu rity, open to this instinct the whole domain of industrial proprietor ship. *r at I DO NOT EXPECT THAT WAY TO BE FOUND IN A DAY OR IN A SINGLE MEASURE. IT IS NOT ORDAINED THAT A PEOPLE SHOULD GO THROUGH A GREAT CRISIS SO EASILY. I DO NOT EXPECT THAT THE WAY WILL BE FOUND BY THE MEN WHO ARE CALLED THE PARTY LEADERS OR THAT IMMEDIATE HELP WILL COME FROM THEM. Party leadership is timid. Men in line for the presidency and sen atorsliips and governorships are men who think many times before .they take any step that might separate them from the prevailing public mood. What I aim at is to set in motion the PUBLIC OPINION that lies behind party leadership. When the deeper judgment of the nation ; s reached, when the vested interests of this country come to see that THEIIi GREAT EST SECURITY lies in having all aboat them vested interests, a proprietorship that reaches out and oi\, uniU, carrying reasonable se curity’ it is within the reach of all; when the men who toil for wages,» *,without flffeting their appreciation of their preient protective agencies, conuDto ffrtuaW wish for an individual share in the country’s prop erty, when the country wakes up to the consciousness that benevolence is not the only thing*that is human; that just dealing is not the only thing that is human, but that individual ambition to get on in life is human also; that the wish for a career is human ; THAT INDIVID UAL INDEPENDENCE IS HUMAN; that some share in the world’s inheritance from nature is human; when the spirit that in spired the pre-emption and homestead laws—peopleizing the domain that fell to our fathers —revives in us, dealing, as we have to do, with the larger and more different domain that has fallen to us; when the public mind and heart have been lighted up, ways will he found, abundant ways, to infuse into this new property domain of the repub lic, even though embodied in corporate form, the widespread personal interest and individuality that alone give to property ITS FULLEST UTILITY AS AN AGENCY FOR GOOD. social Exclusiveness In College By DEAN WRIGHT of the Yale Academic Department PERHAPS the most serious evil connected with the segrega tion of well to do college students in expensive dormitories is that it is bringing together, especially in the sophomore year, those who aim to form the society sets whose chief purpose in college is popularity and social recognition and to whom for this reason THE CLAIMS OF SCHOLARSHIP BECOME SECONDARY. So many of the men who have been members of the junior and senior societies have roomed in these that there is a more or less prevalent feeling that to room there helps one’s chances for social advancement, AND THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY TRUE. If the social honors of college are to have any value, ALL men should have an equal chance to g-ain them. THE SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS IS OFFENDED WHEN HONORS ARE BESTOWED UPON AN INFERIOR MAN WHO, BECAUSE OF WEALTH OR SUPERIOR LOCATION OR THE INFLUENCE OF FRIENDS, HAS HAD AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE OVER HIS FELLOWS. afioe Eye* and Hooks. On the basis of the population of the United States being 80,000,000, this country uses more than 3,000,- 000,000 of lace eyes and hooks a year. Every man, woman and child will wear out an average of two pairs of shoes in twelve months. The majority of people have two feet, and there are twenty eyes and hooks in each shoe.
