What Makes Us Persons.

Things are rot responsible. but per-

significant he seems TO be, entails re-
sponsibility In one way or another.
Thousands of poor immigrants are
daily landed on our shores, every one
of whom then looks insignificant
enough And so they are quite forgot
ten until we find that they have be-
come voters and count just the same
as ourselves, so that we pay heavily
In taxes and misgovernment for our
neglect OF their education and the
failure to give them due consideration.
No person could have appeared more
insignificant than the negro, bred
Scott, when he came before the su.
preme court of the United States. But
when that court ruled that he should
be rated only as a thing or salable
commodity, and not as a person, the
most stable government in the world
whose money market felt no jar when
either of three OF its beloved presi-
