Wilfred T. Grenfell, the Labrador ply

of erecting in ST. Johns, NeWIound-

men. Fishermen have really no place
to go if they have no homes, and the
doctors plan is to erect a commodi-
GUS building, which will be a club as
we'll as a home for these men. The
building is to stand two blocks off
the water front, in the district most
frequented by seagoing men, and is
to be constructed Of selected red brick
with native stone trimmings. Its prob.
able cost will be 100000. There are
to be four floors and a basement with
separate quarters for men and wom-
en-. Most of the latter are schooner
girls and "outport' women.

ish 20 the Americans some good models

Americans have recognized, in chatting
with NE, that as regards railways ami

the system OF absolute liberty, CT which
America is beginning to be tired.
But, in studying the -plutocratic
movement in its entirety, | fear that,
in their robust optimism, many Ameri-
cans are under an illusion regarding
the moral perfectability of modern civ

! all countries men are today becoming
| too eXacting ard too impatient; a high
! ideal of life cannot be formed and
transformed into a universal rule of
conduct amid the immense confusion
Of covetousne.s and ambition that

Too Much Optimism Here.
All the puritanical doctrines of life,
however narrow and naive they may
appear under certain aspects, contain
an elementary and eternal truth, which
is that man subjugated by the fever
Of money-getting or Of pleasure loses
the power 10 submit his life to a severe
neral rule. And this truth does not
appear solely to Individuals; it APP
plies also to nations.
1t therefore seems to be probable
that the anti-plutccratic movement,
while becaming triumphant in certain
of its pretensions, is destined to fall
in its ether aims, just because it is
too American in it's origin and in its
essence. Industrialism seems bound /
to destroy part of the old American |
ism Of Franklin and of Washington, |
which Europe had admired so great |
ly, and to create an Americanism far !
less American than that which exist

the destruction cease? Nobody can |

it will not cause the disappearance OF
