 Scott breathed the very breath of TO- nance. A sickly childhood was spent boring over tales of chivalry and wild encounters of the border and listening to the wierdly wonderful narratives of a folk to whom story telling was at once a joy and a profession. Bred to the law, his being revolted against dry technical ity and querulous bubble. The wide and starry sky was his element. the hills and plains his habitat He turned to litera- ture and made instant success as a poet. The mystic tales of a land of romance and adventure with which his mind was stored to overHowing he turned into met trical narrative, and gained and merited the applause of the reading world.
 But star of greater magnitude ap- peared in the south. The warm hearted and generous Scott was quick to see the superior merits of Byron, and it was not his nature to play second fiddle in any poetical orchestra. Yet he had never written a line in which even he might not take pride.

be had by all the people and though America seems to lag behind Europe in this huge enterprise, 1t is chiefly through the achievements of America that Europen progressive democracy has been made possible
 Certain principles emerge in the day light of every mans experience:
 1. Against the heresy of ownership we learn that we do not absolutely own any thing external to ourselves. Moreover, the properties over which we establish legal rights and authority become ours by no such title, but only by the fact that we use them. Now also it appears that it is not we that own these things but the people, the common mass of the whole community that owns us and our belong irgs. and has rights quite inalienablc to all that we have made of ourselves phys ically, intellectually, creatively. Of course this old truth was old when the first clan emerged from the first tribal family, only we have orders again to lay it to heart. The immortal soul Of the in- dvidual is wholly in his tribe. which is his community. He and his are theirs!
 9 So against the heresy of independ- ence we are again compelled to pass sub jugum.'
 The farmer and his farm and his cot ton and his boil weevil and his cattle tick and his alfalfa and bur-cloyer are social factors net independent facts. The merchant or manufacturer cannot be al- lowed to be independent If he were

how that notable author recognizes and protests against the selfish alienation of the Dutch aristocracy from their own poor Not that the wealth of the wealthy has no channels of mercy. but that there Is a deep underlying assumption in the minds of the rich and well-born that Hol- land. with it's roads and its commerce and it's opportunities of enjoyment, is pre- eminently for them. They complain that the street car crowds the automobile off the street. And their tragedies are the sordid tragedies that arise when exclu- sve ownership of wealth becomes the basis of personal independence, a social caste system, involving fatty degenera- tion of the national heart.
 Precisely this that Holland has achieved is the goal which large numbers of An glo-Saxons in republics, colonies and em- pire tacitly set before them. On the other hand are the overwhelming forces of an inappeasable democracy which de- termined long ago that the national pos session of wealth must be a means of lifting all burdens from all the people, and that the outstanding task of the statesman is to make good the boast of the earliest democrats concerning liberty, equality and fraternity It is this that so relentlessly expresses itself in labor movements, socialistic theories.

everywhere that the new democracy has It's own religion, an intensely passionate religious feeling, a purely social rubric, thrilled with interest, and new devotion al spirit. Not all the tawdry allurements of dress and display succeed in absorbing the minds of men and women. The new social conscience stands for the first time before it's Sinai and hears the mutterinE of thunders, or turns for the first time to comprehend the world wide significance of Calvary.
 l have called this the passion of vision we have seen the mean streets, the com fortless lives buried there. the sordid misery and disease produced by poverty and ignorance We have seen the statistics which prove that these things are mon- strous invasions which need not occur-but while we study and understand, we are tempted to miss the pathos by disregard ing the sufferers. Yet we know that po- tential kings and nobfes, poets, artists, benefactors are being ground to dust and melted in the mud of our streets and al- leys. The vision of what may be and must be is the new social understanding
