this is so because nolens aut volens we are

Indivlduali.ml rha, Hurts The individual.


Isn't too much indvidualism a fundamental
cause OF the maladjust ments TN industry and
politics of the times
The average man today looks upon the gov
eminent as having two functions primarily. one
is the protection of himself from the loss OF
what he considers his own rights The other is
the setting of limit to his own activities, be-
yond which it is not lawful for him to go. The
average is an extreme tndiVidualist. He
expects the lawTnaker to make laws to keep
the other fellow from in any VA hindering his
own pursuit of liberty and happiness The
ought to be law against it, in the cry OF the
individuaist. The niividualist of this sort
also. expects 10 .eandnct his own affairs In such
a way as not 10 violate the laws, The morality
of his business is determined solely by its le-
gaIity--a legality which Is itself the expression
of selfshness.
In spite of q greatly facilitated lawmaking
machinery by which rapidity in process con-
stantiy increases the volume of Tvs and the
population Of lawyers. the average man has
come to realize the inadequacy of the system.
This extreme ndvidualist finds that he has
not been helped much after all IN the pursuit
of his own happiness. His life is still narrowed.
his liberty still chained, The laws he Is COM
ing to think, do strike at the real evil,
and he has strong suspicion that the lava
maker does not know how to strike at 1t. Hence
what has been termed the social unrest
Doesn't the evil lie in the average citizen
himself? He Is too much bf an individualjst.
He believes--possibly because he thinks Thorn
as EMERSON said 5000 much In his own right
To success and too little in the etual oppor-
tunity of others. whereas If he looked to the
common good, and were animated by the real
spirit OF cooperation. his success in the
gaining OF his liberty and his happiness would
be less painfully and more fully achieved

pure sellishness.--l.y nchburg Advance
