If the yourg people of Hays will
learn that muscle is the cheapest
thing in this world, and that trained
brain is the most valuable thing in the
world, there will not be a Ioafer left

schedule of life they will learn that
the difference in men is the thing
they offer to the markets OF the world.
Learn that muscle without character

Progressive Conservatism

THE issue between conservatism and
4 progressivism is inescapable 1t has
divided men into opposing groups from the
beginning of history We are seeing its
workings in American politics today. II
appears in the American Federation OF
Labor and in the National Grange OF
Patrons of Husbandry. SometimeS there il
: disposition to regard conservatism and
progressivism as incompatible, but the
incompstibility depends on the definition OF
terms.
The social conservatism which agttators
and rsformers combat may be simple 10y
atty. The natural satisfaction of human
beings with their condition in life is not
something to be eradicated; it is rather
something to be utilized. It is more hopeful
than menaeing. It is not wrong, but right.
It consists largely of self-respeot and low
aity. II Is an underlined sense that the con-
dition to which our parents ana ancestors
have brought us. the condition which we
shars with our parents. our relatives and our
friends, Is not to be despiAed
The complement OF this conservatism is
progressivism. which Is the natural desire.
The compelling impulse. to go forward.
Hence the justification OF the phrase

in locating their homes they ignored the cost

the only municipal improvements that are
