A Dream Of the Future
by Henry T. Jones.

lam looking into the future. and l
see a nation not having one case OF
poverty-not one. --...... .-. ~. ..
I also see a race of humans perfect
morally mentally, and physically.
10 that new world I see tens of mill
lions of happy smiling faces among
the men, women and youth; l hear the
merry laughter of children, the songs
of birds, the chirping squirrels. The
deer, antelope and dogs fraternize in
Joyous companionship; the huntsman's
buuet no longer brings a dread. 1t
is plain to the observer that the
savasery of the spectre OF apprehen-
sion has long been unknown to man
or beast. On all sides 1 see harmony
OF action, harmony of relation and
harmony of intention. I see ladies
aud gentlemen withou. exception who
would disdaiu to accept service they
could not return in kind.
And there are some things I do not
see. I do not see one howell or one
ch,,u or one woman working IN the
mills, mines, factories, offices or
fields. The modern twentieth century
spectacle has been changed to model
places of industry, millionaire farms,
magnificent spacious homes, and the
worlds WORT of the production OF
material things is being easily and
speedily done by the harnessed forces
of nature manned by man.
Neither do see one case of tubercu-
losls, typhoid, nor any OF the other
numerous preventable ills which now
infiict the earth. -...-. .-.-.
Prisons, jails, police, soldiers, in
sane asylums, poor houses, charitable
Institutions, slums, red-light districts,
saloons, courts, dirty streets, shoddy
clothing, bankers, grafters, money
lenders, politicians, intemperance,
disease, buns and all the other
beauties of present day civilization
are only matters of history in this
new world.
In place of all this the face OF
bountiful nature is dotted with spacl'
Gus homes and magnificent public
buildings whose harmony of design
and color is in perfect contrast with
the beastiality of those things now
seen in our modern coke-towns in the
shape of hideous sky-scrapers,
crowded business blocks, and rows OF
houses unfit Tor shelter.
in this new world work is a JOY, not
q brutal struggle; life is pleasure
not discomfort. There see life with
ar. and life with industry. Life with
out Joy and pleasure there is known
to be savagery, and life without ar
is known to he brutality. Art in this
new world can see is OF mans Joy IL
his labor.
And what q perfect race OF men
See. see q race that is so complet
as to be incapable of an impur
thought to say nothing OF Temptation
to commit 90 impure act. I can Sc
