Is PHILANTHROPY A GREAT
RJUNDER?

A certain class OF thinkers making
some stir just now in the world OF
literature, seem to suppose that the
actual results of human efforts are In
exactly an opposite direction TO the
efforts themselves. The people who go
a.ong in the world intent on pleasing
themselves, utterly careless whether
any one else is helped or harmed,
these and their like are the only peo-
pie who do any thing worth while.
The real mischief makers, on the
contrary. are the philanthropists, who
study conditions. lay plans and incur
no end of toll and expense in efforts
TO help the poor and unfortunate.
The chief outcome of their thought
and toll is to perpetrate a bad grade
of humanity which ought to die--the
J. sooner the better--and leave the more
room for the unimpeded growth OF
those demigod supermen who are the
only ones worth raising.
Medical science and skill come un-
der the same ban. Their efforts are
largely given to patching up and
keeping in the world, for the pro-
pagation OF their kind, the broken
and unsightly remnants OF human
Wy, the flotsam and jetsom OF our
civilization. They mean well, these
.lElnd-hearted gentlemen; but why
: can't. they see that they are really
most terrible mischef-makers, with
results the very contrary of what
they seek and suppose TO attain? But
for them. the race of demigods or sup
ermen would much more rapidly COW
er the earth.
Weary toilers for human welfare
doubtless have moments now and
then when they are tempted 10 think
such philosophers more than half
right. But that is only passing mood
from which they rouse to harder
work
K The physician might plead with
sthese astute critics that his work for
stne common and lower class of men,
alike that ON animals, enables him TO
treat the superman the better when
! his high and mighty stomach or liver
Z gets out OF order. And he and the
philantbropist might alike urge the
Necessity OF a class OF men ready and
glad to do the menial service which
your high-class men chooses only on
Sdirect compulsiol TO do for himself
land is quite too selfish TO do for
3another. A world made up OF super
linen would be quite like an army OF
