job will be living on the island, while those
now on tae island will have learned that
the price of one vote will not maintain them
for four years All these things will ela-
vate society and throw what is now called
society out of job.
The government will grow simpler. So
will the men who now overestimate their
wisdom
The government should own 10th rail

The laws of divorce are quite well adapt
ed to this age, and the only improvement l
see would be for people who apply for di-

private bone works in order to boom a new

see no reason to hope that money will
not accumulate in the hands of few in tie

Our soil. with improved agricultural

Law, medicine and theology VIII continue
to advance as rapidly as they have the past

continue to talk saucily to all three until we
meet them, and then we will retract all
that we have said. 1 see more possibilities

American literature, hope, will be more
realistic in 100 years, and it will be, trust,
the more elaborate and expensive publica-
tions / trust there will be less collie among
poets, and less vain regret and gastritis
among poetesses.
Music and the drama will grow rapidly.
