No-emphatically no!
The statement is untrue, and the rea-
sons given prove the opposite-that is
to say
We Americans are the happiest peo-
pie on earth because we are the most
prosperous, the freest and the best
educated.
Or. to put it differently
Most of the unhappiness suffered by
the American people is because of lack
of prosperity, lack of freedom, lack of
education.
Truly we are prosperous. To put it
in a sentence
We have but per cent Of the ter
ritory of the earth and but per cent
of its population, but we have twice
as much life insurance as all the rest
Of the worlds people and half as much
money in our savings banks as all the
other people on earth put together.
And we are we'll educated.
We have enrolled in our public
schools 100000 students, and there
are 5000, 900 in the colleges and private
schools, which brings the total up to
100000 young people. We spend on
this education $20O,O0000O yearly
more than the entire sum spent by five
leading European nations, including
England
We are a free people.
Making due allowance for inequali-
ties and for abuses under our system
we enjoy the largest measure of in
dividual liberty ever known by any
people in the history of the race
| And
Because Of our prosperity, freedom
and education we also enjoy in the
highest degree all intellectual and spir-
ituaI pleasures, and we are the most
progressive as we are the most humane
of all people, so that, whether upon the
physical, intellectual or moral plane
The conditions of living In America
make for happiness more so than any
where else.
We are free to work and free to love
And those two conditions-the free
dom to work at congenial tasks for q
fair compensation and the liberty tt
love and marry whomsoever We
choose regardless of social or f1nancia
obligations-these are ideal conditions

Alas for r. Kipling! When he was a

age. he looked like a dinger-the all

pounded with vim till they sounded like
strains of Homeric brand, and peo-
pie. in wonder, inquired who in thun-
der was filing with music the land.

critics assailed him, and knocked on

been flying. and old bards are dying,
and some of the young have been call
ed; and Rudyard the rhyper is now
an old timer. string halted and pain
fully bald. And harder and harder,
with counterfeit ardor, he whangs at
his lusty old Tyre; it's kept caterwaul-
ing and wailing and squalling, when
it ought to be flung in the fire. o hush
up its clangor! In sorrow, not anger
we prefer this little request; let's
think of the stripling-the long vanish
