Is the Middle Class eolnu7

At banquet in Chicago Judge C.
G. Kohlsaat, while deploring the fact
of perpetual strikes, of the growing re-
sistance to law and the foaming, seeth-
ing upheaval which keeps capital ever
uneasy, said of American society:
There are two extremes in the sad
die to-day, the exceedingly wealthy
and the laboring man. The salvation
of this country lies with the middle
class people, who read and think and
think and read; the class that stands
out and says: You have your rights,
but you have not the right to jeopar-
die the rights or the perpetuity of our
country"
This is very true. The saddest So
cial tendency, however, is that which
gradually eliminates the middle class,
the glory of every nation, and leaves
nothing but the very rich and the very
poor.
And all authorities are agreed that
the trusts are the great agencies to-
day that are accomplishing this worst
calamity that can befall a nation

of equal age, who so resembled each

unable to distinguish them when they
were together.
Now it happened that, by the care

had become mixed; and how we're the
mothers to make sure their received

'But, perhaps said the lawyer, "the
children weren't changed at all"
"Oh, but there's no doubt that they
were changed" said the physician.
