Civilization must progress in the
years ahead Of us with rapidity incon-
ceivable. FOR THE MINDS AND
THE BODIES OF MEN ARE SET
FREE TO THINK.
While men were physical slaves real
thought was impossible, except to the
rare man.
Athens was the intellectual centre of
the world twenty-five centuries ago, be.
cause the Athenians enjoyed slaves in
great numbers Every Athenian citi-
zen learned to think because he had leis-
ure. The citizens thought and de-
veloped national intellect that no ma.
ton of our day pretends to equal. The
greatest Greek thinker, Aristotle, said
that civilization and progress could not
exist without slavery-and he was
right.
But he did not dream that men one
day would use the giant slave of steel
and steam that you see on this page in
Marsh's painting.
This century and centuries to follow
will surpass the Athenians in intelli-
gence and in the possession Of slaves.
Our slaves will be of metal, without
nerves. The power Of the lightning, of
steam, of the tides and of the great sun
itself will be the power of these slaves of
civilization.
Slave women spun and wove SLOWLY
the clothing of the Athenians and of
the Romans.
Our clothing is made by slave fingers
OF steel. Great machines, gigantic
looms, turn out in day enough to
clothe every citizen of Athens.
The slaves carried their masters in
palanquins in Roman days. Steam and
the lightning are the slaves that carry
US to-day.

it. Jaws of steel have torn it from the
ore bed and dropped it into the ships
At Gary other steel jaws lift it and
carry it to the furnaces.
1t is melted and great machines pour
it out. 1t is divided into huge ingots,
and these, white hot, are carried to the
first part of the rolling mill. Still no
mans hand has touched that iron. No
slave has toiled under it's weight.
The ingot is squeezed by one ma
chine, made longer and narrower,
squeezed again and made still longer
and narrower.
1t starts on it's journey along the roll
ers of the MILL squeezed, pressed,
handled, turned over and shaped as it
travels hundreds of yards-no hand
touching it.
1t arrives at last, red-hot steel rail,
the right shape, cut the right length.
Machinery turns it over, slides it on an
incline. 1t has made the journey,
changing from shapeless ingot to
finished rail, handled by machinery, the
machines guided and controlled by one
or two mechanics sitting aloft pressing
levers or buttons, AND WATCHING.
Finished at last and almost ready,
the rail slides down the incline, and for
the first time man deals with it. He is
a young Scandinavian giant, six and
half feet tall, with yellow hair and
clear gray eye. With hugh pinchers he
turns the rail, and, standing at one end,
runs his eye along it. He is no slave,
but wellpaid worker. Ten dollars
day is his pay for the use Of that true
eye. AS he looks along the rail he sees
the defects, moves the left or the right
hand, and another man controlling the
Strengthening machine Strengthens the
rail as ordered,
