fact in the development Of the most sue

wOR ISGMEN's SUCCESS.
Cooperation. when used by working
men has resulted in advancing their CON
d:tion in life. The history of the co-cp-
erative societies of England and Scotland
is most marvellous chapter i'll the de
veiupment of the labOring men of the
world. They have millions of dollars in
capital invested now and ships that plow
between the great ports of the world and
supply them by simple, fraternal coop

ing hundreds of thousands. have secured
for themselves immunity from poverty.
Some of them-in fact. all of them-may
| be considered rich as compared with
| those who are outside their ranks, with
| the same advantages of education and
| personal environment.
Wherever cooperation in communities
has been substituted for competition it
has proven when thoroughly tested the
higher principle.
In Glasgow the transit facilities of the
city are managed by the people, and
they have cent car fares. The gas is |
also owned and managed by the people |
and costs them 80 cents where it costs |
US $l.25.
THE DIVINE IN MEN.
This process must continue until eyo- |
luton has reached point of develop
ment that revolt is no longer necessary.
We are reaching that cor dition gradual
ly now. Our legislation is more and
more in the direction of cooperation on
the part of the community than it has
been In the past. Our laws touch more
fully the whole range of life, and the
people are beginning more and more to
see that they are competent to take care
OF their own affairs if they only make up
their mind to do it.

soul of man leaps to the thought of this
dream of the race
The highest instincts of humanity

The divine III man goes out to the suffer
ing. We must cooperate with one an ,
other. We cannot endure the sight of ,
the suffering and pain of the world
longer. We have societies for the pre- .
ventlon Of cruelty to animals. A man |
