PROGRESS THE OUTCOME
OF DISCONTENT

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Scarcely a week passes without the
appearance Of some book on economic
subjects wherein the writer undertakes
to tell the restless world of today what
is the matter with 1t. Social symptoms
arc carefully diagnosed, their signiti-
cance pointed out. the dangers of the
situation are dwelt upon with painful
particularly and often with such en-
phasis and earnestness as to excite
some degree of apprehension, even
among men not easily alarmed.
As a rule, the social writers of the
day are not hopeful. They do not take
a CHEEKY view of the outcome Of the
forces now at work in our midst While,
of course. alarm may be taken at any
symptom when the case is believed to
be grave, 1t seems hardly necessary to
be frightened simply because there Is
Just now more unrest and discomfort
among all classes Of people than there
ever was before. Looked at from the
hopeful point of view. discomfort is a
favorable sign. He who is contented
with his lot makes no effort to change
It; he who is satisfied with his status,
whether political, social or industrial,
will not make sacrifices in order to rise.
The world has been pushed forward
by its discontented people. One be-
came dissatisfied at the slowness with
which freight was forwarded from Liv-
erpool to London and invented q rail-
road Another found fault with the un-
certainty of the wind as motive power
and contrived a steamship Merchants
grew tired of the trouble and expense
of sending private messengers with their
correspondence and compelled the gov
ernment to undertake the work Of car
rying the mails The post was too slow.
men grumbled and complained, and to
satisfy their clamor for haste the tele-
graph was invented, to be superseded In
part bv the telephone
1t Is not too much to conclude that
the unrest of the social and Industrial
life which to the nervous Is a sign OF
terror, may be the Indication of changes
for the better. Of which no man even
dreams. Since the history of man be-
gan, progress has been constant, though
not always uniform. The race ha<
never gone backward. Even during
what we call the dark ages social con-
ditions, from the highest to the lowest
classes of men, were steadily and rap
idly improved. AS all the evidence OF
history points in but one direction, the
conclusion is justifiable that out of the
unrest. the discomfort. the turbulence in
society, Will come improvement IN every
line and walk of life 1t is as easy to
hope as to fear for the future, and there
is more reason as we'll as comfort in tht
hope than in the fear. -. .....-..-

Women are essentially unfair.
This is because we have been cheat
ing, lying, and deceiving throughout the
ages. We have had to, until this present
day and generation.
THE sense of truth, justice, and a re-
spect for law are masculine characters
tics, and they are indispensable to the
proper rearing of the child. How then
can our children be properly reared
when the American child is a one-parent
child and this parent is always the
woman? Ths mother thrusts the faith
er aside in governing the child. because
OF her jealous love for that child. but
she Is unfit to govern 1t alone. And so
