AMERICANS LESS HONEST.
'(North American Review .

That the character Of the American
people has changed. much in the last
twenty-five years and is changing
further Is beyond dispute, and wheth.
er this change Is or is not due in any
considerable part to immigration il,
naturally, an open question. But eth

United States is developing phyaicai-
~ into a different type of man than

tory.
Morally We are, a. a. people. no
longer as. religious as We used to be;
no longer as honest, and no longer as
frugal. We seem also to be much
more emotional than formerly, much
less governed by conservatism and re.
spect for governmental and social ira
ditions, ard much less given to DELHI
Grafton and. reflection.
This article is not intended to af-
ford material for the affirmative side
of debate upon the question, "Resolv-
ed, that ancient times were superior, to
our oWn;"' but 1t may be as we'll, per-
haps, for. the American people to ask
themselves; seriously, just who the
men and women. are that are taking
the place. for better or for worse, Of
the poets, philosophers and historians
who were writing throughout the GEN.
tury that began with 1901. and wheth-
er today the men and women who are
writing for the press are or are not
better than their predecessors.
Going a little further, let us ask
who are the men nowadays. and what
is, their character, who are the lead
ers of thought. the sources Of nation
al inspiration In our country, and how
do they compare with those who have
lately gone to their last sleep? Who
are those who are, stirring the hearts
OF our young men with romantic n
thusiasm and visions Of liberty and Of
the ideal beauty? Who are those who
are thinking for .us and dreaming for,
US as of yore. and leading US to CON.
merce' with the skies? Or are We to
be told that enthusiasm, poetic vision
and commerce with the skies are no
longer essential to the enduring life
OF a great nation, and that it is not
true now, as 1t M was, that the
things that are eternal are the thines
that are unseen? -. %
