Senator Sawyer was shocked into

pleasantly and Immediately began
writing out check.
The senator was followed by q pro
cesston OF ONCE seekers and favor
hunters, OF whom Kelvin disposed
briefly. and then came Rollins. Much
recent worry had left him pale.
Kelvin, we have been wrong from
the first" he confessed after brief
greetings. You are carrying out many
OF the alleged reforms over which we
talked, but they are not reforms. The
ultimate aim was right, but the means
are wrong. They are too violent, too
drastic, and they have succeeded only
in disturbing the economic system to
an appalling extent"
Not to any greater extent than
had calculated" returned Kelvin.
This confusion must prevail in the
interim between the passing away of
the old order Of things and the inst1-
tuition of the new. You will see that
q
brief one and that we shall emerge
from the entire revolution-for It
amounts to nothing less-upon a sound
er basis than any commonwealth in
the history of the world, with a larger
ultimate percentage of happiness than
heretofore enjoyed by any. state"
Rollins shook his head. You are
mistaken" said he earnestly. mo
peaceabIe economic readjustment is
possible when any large number of the
members Of the body polite have
reached the stage of starving despera-
ton"
You don't see very far, Rollins" re-
piled Kelvin patiently. You are bas-
ing all your calculations for new
emergencies upon old principles. Has
it ever occurred to you that the solu-
ton of ali our economic difficulties
might be found in an entirely new sys-
