A "MACHINE" SOCIETY.

"A LAWN n NAfhSAAAAN1 OO0AA1A -
PORTLAND Ore, Nov. Z .r-Dr.
Percival Lowell, the astronomer, who
lectured here recently, expressed the
same scant respect for the machine"
ideal Of modern civilization as was ex-
pressed from the same platform a few
weeks before by Rabindranath Ia
gore, the Bengal poet and philoso-
pher.
Everywhere on earth cooperation
is the order of the day; unionism is
in the air, said DIR. Lowell. "Now,
unions are excellent in their way for
r utine work. But though they push
the lower men up they pull the upper
down.
"And except for routine work what
an unfortunate confession of individ-
ual incapacity they make. To be will
ing to cooperate is to admit that one
can do better in conjunction with
others than he can do alone. No
great man ever co-operated with ano-
ther in the idea that made him great.
"That the banding together should
be held advisable is a sad comment on
the paucity in genius Of the age.
Wolves hunt in packs; the lion stalks
alone"
