ever buy a gold brick?'
In other words, we don't expect
vision Of him.
But We ought to. II isn't enough

Civilization would be IN a ItSS1e II

full OF such men.
Why don't we insist that more Of
the vision that goes into the writing
Of the other books shall go into the
writing of statute books? Why don't
we see to it that more of the plain,
common sense men use in their
homes and in their neighborhoods and
in their churches shall get into our
