DECIDEDLY OPTIMISTIC. Prof. Wm l..
Avis of Mlddlctown is responsible for the
following Ioseatc view of life in the coming
century of American life:
ave have spent the first century OF our
national existence in the pioneer work OF
civilization With increased wealth will
come more abundant leisure and with leisure
greater cultivation Of mind.
The youth of the future will not be sent
to the Universities of Berlin or Oxford to
finish his education, but will drink deep
from the Plcrian springs in the classic
| shades OF our own institutions.
The laboling man of the future, released
! from the trcadmil of tOIl sixteen hours ont
| of the twenty four, with time for reading ard
| thought VIII hayc a better appreciation OF
the worth and dignity Of manhood.
| The United States of the future, already
famous for the excellence of her political
institutions and her prowcss in war, will be
equally renowned in literature and art and
in all that rfncs and bcautlfics human life. y
Shall we agree that the tcaturcs Of Amcrl'
can politics, mos, prominently shown to-day
are the result Of bu, pioneer work and TINT
when the genuine artist and his work come
upon the stage, that what W. know about
politics in the prcscn, ora will he referred to
as the crude and undigestcd processes Of "a
civilization jus, emerging from the chrysalis
statcy viii the handiwork of professional
politicians of to-day be regarded in 1910 AS
the a. y. c. of scientific methods? Does Prot
! Avis recognize in the current events OF the
aborcr's world reliable evidence of the gam
of aught to his advantage, in bungling

( lied capital? Does he see a prcpondcrancc
! of merit in the methods employed by the
to!lcrs to better their position rs it may be
compared with that of half Centuryaso?
| Does he see the "incrcascd wealth bringing
more abundant leisure and greater cntiva
! ton of mind in fair proportion alike to
! the masses, or does he recognized that the
! segregation of capital provides dlSpropor-
tiona,c "ahundant leisure" to- the few, these
few not scizing uDon the opportunity for "a
greater cultivation Of the mind )" but rather
prodlgal expenditure of natural talents in
a pursuit of the vapid and irrational pleasures
/ tha, satisfy only the lower instincts Of the
physical man.
This same "ncrcascd wealth adds to the
dignity and intelligence of Senate by
replacing Thurman by Il Payne; Il Conk
| ling by II Miller; and II Gordon by Brown !;
this "abunGant leisure" is responsible for a
powdcrly and this appreciation of the worth
and dignity of manhood" finds its antithcsis
| in the "strlkc,' the result Of which, in large
proportions, gives ground for the belief that,
if the "!almring man of the future" Is to b.
"rclcuscd from the trcad-mill,' he must make
RAPID and dccldclly more intelligent advan
ccs in his methods in the coming than he has
in the last quarter century.
The Labor Union and the Trust signify
antagunism, not Il healthy opposition such as
is ''thc life of trade but IL war to the death,
each sworn to sap the life force of the other,
neither actually triumphant, but wealth
steadily strengthening, with labor under
d,magoguc leadership at best not cnslavcd.
The famous excellence of our political
institutions may be stated in a word; first
that "A man, incapable Of formulating an
intelligent reply to Prof AVIS simplest
proposition, is his peer at the ballot box ;
probably this same man on election day, by
his acquaintance with existing political
methods, controls in greater measure than
he, the result Of the great polished cap p.stonc
of our political institutions" :" the elective
franchise
There Is yet to be discovered that cnryth-
mic beat of the nations pulse that warrants
the harmony that we find sounding in the
prophetic soul of our old Second Section
ncighbor of 1865 1870; in his wealth OF
kinllincss for his tcowman he would hay,
