The preacher Of today who bitterly declares
society the vanity Of vanities merely echoes
the thoughts and often the very words
that have come from the mouths OF
moralists ever since the world began. Il re-
quires no flight Of the fancy 70 imagine that
when the anthropoid ape reached such develop
ment that family of men was produced, build
ing houses Of brush, living in caves, and wear
ing aprons Of fg leaves; and when this "first
family" ceased to invite worthy but less cult
waited apes to it, feasts Of raw meat, there rose
up grave chtmpansees-the moralists of that
primitive age-to huTl ct the aristocrats cocoa
nuts and anathemas, plentifully mingled with
charges that the beautiful doctrine of the uni
vcrsal brotherhood Of monkeys had been forgot
ten. Doubtless, too, the strong and cunning
though unc0uth gorilla, maddened by the
slight put upon him by the first families, de-
clared In his wrath that the leaders of the ex-
elusive Get were fools above all others on earth.
But we. whom the centuries have purged from
passion and prejudice, can now look back and
with all fairness determine the right and the
wrong OF those ancient social controversies.
Doubtless the first families of the prehistoric
period contained many insincere, foolish and
cruel men and women, but there 10 no reason to
think they were woue in these respects than the
ferocious gorilias. thfeving balloons and chatter
ing apes around them. It il true, however, that
since the firHt families were much In the eyes OF
the world, their ightness and wickedness were
far more apparent, and more obvious target
for ridicule or attack than the same qualities in
their obscure neighbors. Autdto nomine, De te
