"No Nation eau Be Great I'm
less Its Least Citizen Has
the Chance to Pursue Happl-
ness"
BY ROGER W. BABsON,
Noted Economist, Statistican and
Banker:

hrSG SGaUe paper vi GlleSe Oulteu
States, the Declaration of hide
pendence, makes a rather inter
esting distinction between life
and liberty, on the one hand and
the pursuit of happiness on the
other. 1t is probable that few
of those who have read the dec
laration have noticed just how it
refers to these rights. It says:
"We hold these truths to be
self-evident-that all men are
created equal; that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with GER
tain unalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness
The point is that, while the
document says life" and ''liber-
ty," it does not say Happiness"
but THE pursuit of happiness. "
It seems to make pursuit" an
essential part of happiness. "
Just whySthe'phrasing is thus is
hard to say, but it is easy to see
that it is suggestive of the very
nature of happiness.
Happiness is something which
must be hunted down continually
not something which can be
given in lump into hands out.
stretched. Life is given or life
is taken away, the same is true
of liberty; but happiness must
be pursued.
The real happiness of life must
ever be found in the process of
achieving. The happiness of
the journey is not so much in
reaching the destination as in
making progress along the way.
The happiness in sport is neither
in the prize nor in the quarry,
butin the sport itself, whether
it be with a gun or rod or bat
and ball.
The daily happiness, which
should be within the reach of all
men, must be in the daily bust
ness of life, in doing things, in
raising crops. in making articles,
in selling them. This sort of
happines is the kind which all
men should be entitled to pursue.
This kind of happiness might
be called the happiness of Ca
reer, the happiness of a purpose
full existence. 1t is really within
the, reach of all men?
At once, it is evident that
there is at least one class of hu-
man beings that finds it exceed
lngly difficult to pursue happi-
ness. There is one class so bur.
dened at the start of the race of
life that it is scarcely worth
While for its members to at,
tempt to make the race at all.
There is a class down toward the
bottom of our American civiliza-
ton which is so exceedingly I'M
privileged that to describe its
members as pursuing happiness
is manifestly absurd.
