The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1907-01-24

Although | saw his cigar was not half
smoked, | feared that the last command
ment would break the camel's back, and
he break loose,so ! quickly summed up
thus Now look here, would this not be
paradise to live in? What enormous
waste could be saved in production and
distribution? | venture to say that it
would exceed 1870. If all need work
only three hours each day to ten now,
how much more time could be given to
education, comfort and pleasure. No
worry for the present nor the future, no
struggle in life, no envy, nor strike, no
motive to lie, to deceive, or to cheat.
well, | need not enumerate them all, for
| know your broad legal training can grasp
them in a minute.
But | was sorely disappointed when
he relieved his pent up feeling by burst
ing out with: All confounded nonsense :;
why, this Utopia has been dreamed of from
time immemorial, has been tried and al
ways failed. What incentive to effort
would there be. | answered, more than
now. Look at children in school; with
out material reward, they strive at times
beyond their power to keep up with their
mates. Look at our soldiers, with no in
ccntive of material reward. they Will offer
their lives for merely the honor and fame
it will bring to their names. Look at our
office holders; how many could earn more
in other pursuits, and many without any
compensation at all, will work harder
for the public than for themselves, main
ly because they are continuously in the
public eye. How content are they if they
get the public approval for their services
SO seldom appreciated. They would val
ne this more than dollars and cents. No
normal person wants to live III commun-
ty and be considered drone, and be de-
spised by all. Well, he asked, do you
mean to say that lazy subject should
get the same rs the industrious one? Yes.
! thought lazncSS is a disease. 1t would
be harder for any normal healthy person
to be lazy, than tor a lazy person to he
INDUSTRIOUS. Inc intention Is that all ShaII
exert themselves and do their best, ac-
cording to their strength. Again he ask
