Why Civilization Died Out.
(By Prof. Gustave LIE Bon.)

When the causes are examined that
led to the successive ruin of the yari-
GUS peoples with which history is con-
cerned, whether the people in question
be the Persians, the Romans or any
other nation, the fundamental factor in
their fall is always found to be a
change in their mental constitution re-
sulting from deterioration of their
character. l can not call to mind a
single people that has disappeared in
consequence of the deterioration of it's
intelligence.
For all the civilizations of the past,
the mechanism of dissolution has been
identical-so identical, indeed, that it
may be asked, with the poet, whether
history. which has SO many books, has
but single page.
When a people reaches that degree
of civilization and power at which it
is assured that it is no longer exposed
to the attacks of its neighbors, It be-
gins to enjoy the benefit of peace and
material well-being procured by wealth.
AT this juncture the military virtues
decline, the excess of civilization Gre
ates new needs, and egotism in
creases. Having no ideal beyond the
hasty enjoyment of rapidly acquired
wealth, the citizens abandon to the
state the care of public affairs and
soon lose all the qualities that male
them great.
Then barbarian or semi-barbarian
neighbors, whose needs are few, but
who are strongly attached to an ideal,
invade the too civilized people and pro-
coed to form a new civilization with
the debris of that which they have
overthrown.
In this way it was that, in spite of
the formidable organizations of the Ro-
mans and Persians, the barbarians de-
stroyed the empire of the former and
the Arabs that of the latter.
Also, our unprecedented civilizations
OF today are in danger from similar
reasons, but also from other causes,
due to the evolution produced in mems
minds by modern scientific discoveries.
Science has renewed our ideas and
deprived our religious and social con-
ceptions of all authority. 1t has shown
man the trifling place he occupies in
the universe and the utter indifference
of nature toward him.
He has perceived that what he used
to term liberty was only ignorance of
the causes of which he Is the slave,
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-06-07

and that, in view of the inexorable me-
cessities of which they are the puppets,
to be slaves is the natural condition of
all living beings.
Visible decadence seriously threat
ems the vitality of the majority of the
great white nations, and especially of
those known as the Latin nations. and
really Latin nations, of not as regards
their blood, at least as regards their
traditions and education. Every day
they are losing their initiative, their
energy, their will and their capacity
to act. The satisfaction of perpetually
growing material wants tends to be-
come their sole ideal.
The family is breaking up; the social
springs are strained. Discomfort and
unrest are spreading to all classes
from the richest to the poorest.
Like the ship that has lost its COM
pass and strays as chance and winds
direct, the modern man wanders hap
hazard through the spaces formerly
peopled by the gods and rendered a
desert by science. He has lost his
faith, and with 1t his hopes.
The individual is coming to be solsly
preoccupied with himself. Consciences
are captivating and morality is de-
teoriorating and dying out.

Fire Marshal SEERY's inspectors have
learned that the use Of candles in relig-
ious exercises in the home gives many
opportunities for accident, and he criti-
cises the negligence Of landlords who
allow the headlights over vaults and
cellars TO fall into disrepair, thus invit-
ing discarded cigars and cigarettes to
fall in rubbish stored in the cellars.
Another fruitful source Of fires is the
lack of protection of infammable sub
stances hauled through the streets.
Sparks from the elevated third rail,
burning tobacco and matches fall on
hay, excelsior, cotton and the like, and
frequently cause smouldering fires that
are not discovered until it is too late to
prevent great damage. Fires originating
in this way would be almost unknown il

Certain insurance companies continue
to encourage negligence and arson by
their lax methods in issuing policies.
The authorities frequently find cases in
which goods of nominal value are COW
cred by several policies in amounts
greatly exceeding the value of the prop
erty. 1t is plain that in numerous in
stances no attempt has been made to
investigate the applicant or his possess
sions, and the companies have done their
utmost to add to the fire hazard.

Railway Valuation.

The soundness Of Mr.. R~oosRvEUT's
position in the matter Of physical valua-
ton of railway properties is shown by
the fact Of his general agreement with
the views of such eminent economic and
political experts as WILLIAM j. BRYAN,
Senator LA TOILETTE and HANKS the
Repudiated.
In a letter written to Mr.. HENRY NJ.
WHITNEY, under date Of March IS, 1907,
Mr.. BRYAN said:
" have commended that The present value Of the
railroads should be Hscertslned by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and The commissioners Of
the various States, In order that investors may
know when they are buying stock OF Intrinsic value
and when they are being cheated"
Mr., BRYAN's view OF the proper basis
of valuation is the cost of reproducing
the road, presumably at the time OF APP
praisal. This system ignores tn fact
OF fiuctuation in land values and in cost

Mr.. Bryan Calls Again.

Tireless and unafraid, the Hon. WILL
IAN JENNINGS BRYAN will invade New
York once more this week, to continue
his efforts for the defamation OF the
Democratic party. Here it was that he
proclaimed his devotion to Government
ownership of the railroads. Here dwell
many Of those base creatures who, hest
tating to accept the sacred initiative and
referendum as fundamental principles OF
pure and undefled Jeffersonian doctrine,
find Mr.. BRYAN ejecting them from their
party and closing the door Of the Demo-
cratic temple against them.
Yet ever Mr.. BBYAN's herculean labors
have not accomplished the utter over
throw Of the Democracy Of New York.
Last year, in spite Of the heavy handicap
imposed by its nominee for Governor,
il was able to defeat all the Republican
candidates for State Office except Mr..
HUGHES. 1t possesses more power and
controls more patronage now than it
has since ROSWELL p. FLOWER quilted
the executive mansion at the end OF 1894.
1t has opportunity to rehabilitate itself
and to prepare for a campaign against
the Republicans next year to be oon-
Quoted on terms more nearly approach
ing equality than those Of any on which
it has entered in a dozen years.
Naturally Mr.. BRYAN is alarmed and
displeased az he studies such a por-
tentous prospect. He sees that his
un~equalled powers as an organizer of
discord and disaster are needed in the
Empire State. Whom will he read out
OF the party on his visit to New York
this week?

Indian Court's Verdict.

According 10 @. l.. Zimmerman, vice president
OF the First National Bank. who has Just returned
from q business trip 10 the Standing Rock Indian
reservation, an Indian Judge and jury rendered a
remarkable decision In the case OF an Indian who
sued another for the alleged alienation Of his wife
affections.
Mr.. Zimmerman says that the trial lasted for
an entire week and that many Witnesses were e1.
amined. After due elaboration the jury decided
for the plaintiff, and the Judge sentenced the de.
who made the charge was ordered 20 haul seven
loads OF hay and the equaw was ordered TO SIT by

ground that II the husband had devoted more of
his attention TO making the home life OF his eouAv

Of material and equipment. Under II an
annual valuation would be practically
obligatory, II, az he proposes, valuation
should be made the basis Of earnings and
dividends.
The bill introduced in the Senate by
Mr.. LA TOILETTE declares that @the
Interstate Commerce Commission shall
investigate and ascertain the fair value
OF the property Of every railroad en-
gagged in interstate commerce. For the
purpose Of such investigation the COM
mission is authorized to employ such
engineers, experts and other assistants as
may be necessary" Mr.. LA FoILETTB's
opinion, based on his experience in the
valuation Of Wisconsin railroads for pur-
poses Of State taxation, wa that the cost
of the proposed investigation would be
about $5,000,0 900 and the time required for
the work about two years.
We do not at the moment recall just
what Mr.. HANKS said about it. and doubt
if any n else does. We only remember
that he spent some Of his own time and
a lot Of the nations money to exploit a
futile scheme for squeezing the water
out Of overcapitalized railroads.
just at the present moment the Presi-
dent does not seem to be quite sur Of
his position. He is evidently at least
half convinced that physical value has
something to do with rates and dividends
and ought TO be the basis Of both. That
his faith in this theory Is less absolute
than that Of his fellow workers in the
great cause may be inferred from his
deviation, in his Indianapolis speech,
from the straight and narrow way OF
basic principle to become mired in the
uncertainties OF policy and e~xpedient.
He does not seem to be quite sure that
it would be well to treat all roads alike
and get the value Of all down in indis-
putable black and white figures. He
proposes that the Commission be author
lied and equipped to undertake the
physical valuation Of each and any road
which that body, in its wisdom and judg-
ment, may see at to chase down.
1t is unfortunate that Mr.. ROOSEVELT
did not show the country, and particu-
larly the railway managers, just how
physical valuation is to be made a sound
working basis for rate adjustment. 1t is
true that neither BRYAN nor La Fol-
LETTE, nor again HANKs, has revealed
the secret.
