Are We Progressing?

Since DR.. Alfred Russell Walaces death a
short time ago the press of the country has
passed up discussion of his scientific achieve
ment once more to thresh out old question
raised by one of the doctors utterances in his
last book, Social Environment and Moral Pro-
gress." In this now famous sentence, previous
ly given to an English news reporter the noted
scholar exclaims:
"Our whole system of society is rotten from
top to bottom and the social environment is the
worst that the world has SEEM
This audacious statement has captured the
attention of the world and raised the ever old
but always new question, after all, in spite of
our many inventions, really making any
Roadway on chaos and the dark? Are actual
ly progressing? or are we merely holding our
OWN"
DR.. Wallace made it plain that in speaking of
progress he referred to moral progress and that
he held that we have made no advance since
ancient Egypt
There is joker hidden in that very phrase
moral progress" which seems to us to settle the
case. There be no such thing as moral
progress by wholesale. An individual may grow
better with the years, but his spiritual achieve
ment cannot be transmitted to his offspring or
decided to his heirs. Each person entering life
plasm up. Moral strength cannot be received at
secondhand, but must be achieved.
Whether or not we are as whole morally bet
ter than the Romans cannot be decided because
individuals vary so that one may find any grade
of morality from cannibalism to the last heights
of saintship.
But one thing is certain, the individual is in
much better situation officially than ever be-
fore. He has more freedom in which to work out
his moral progress and he has more machinery
to do it with.
1t is in this last regard that we are infinitely
ahead of all preceding generations. Our civiliza-
ton has given us number of instruments by
which to work out moral reforms such as have
never before been seen. Books, churches, schools,
theatres, newspapers and every imaginable
social tool; all these make it possible to achieve
more in an ethical way than has ever before been
dreamed. Relative to our means we may not be
doing as we'll as the ancients, but we cannot be-
lieve that Dr. Wallace himself would willingly
have exchanged the freedom and opportunities
coming to one in an age that could product OAR
win and Haeckel for the imaginary freedom of
the age of Pythagoras or Empedocles.

Poincaire' S Visit

A visit from President Poincalre OF France
seems now reasonably well assured.
This popular sovereign has recently made
trip through various parts of his republic at
every stage of which his loyal people gave him
an almost kingly reception. He has just re-
turned from Spain where he was accorded enter
tainment as royal as any enjoyed by SPANS own
king. In Paris he lives sumptuously in palace
alongside which the residences Of many crowned
monarchs would make a poor showing. And ne
is one of the busiest men in the world, especially
at this period when one ministry has just re-
signed and new stepped in.
Why should such busy parsonage cross the
Atlantic for a formal call at just this time?
Such men are not given to pleasure Jaunts when
other important duties pressing
Those who know something of the situation
in Europe will surely guess that his visit bears
some diplomatic meaning to the members of our
cabinet. And as to what that message is may be
surmised without hazard of our being very far
wrong.
Germany, Italy and Austria, as everybody
knows, has long been in an alliance the purpose
of which has been to overturn the supremacy of
England and France. Germany is growing so
rapidly her resources are not now wholly ade-
quate to meet her needs. In another generation
her standard of living depressed, a thing which
is fatal to any nation. But all colonial fields are
possessed by others, chiefly England and
France. Therefore Germany, headed by her En-
peror William, has worked out that gigantic
scheme called Pan-Germanism, the meaning of
which is that Germany has determined by the
aid of her allies to dominate Europe.
1t is this which has strained to the breaking
point her relationships with England who heads
the Triple Entente composed of herself France
and Russia. 1t is this which makes necessary
the maintenance of those ornaments which
promise to break the neck of the European tax
payers.
Owing to her economic connections with Eng
land and France, the United States entered into
an informal alliance with these nations. So far
back as 1897 diplomatic relations of such a char
acter were entered into. And astute authorities
on international politics do not hesitate to de-
clare that the Cuban and Filipino wars were the
direct result of that alliance
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have
not proved friendly to that arrangement as their
Philippine policy amply demonstrates. The de-
termination of the Democratic party not to main
tain the navy at standard demanded by the
coalition has struck another blow at it. Nav it
not be possible that President Poincaire homes nv
visit to reinforce and perhaps even further to
extend the agreements of 1897?
