man in America is voluntary slave, and often

rung Of the ladder higher Up.
II is only the foreigner who comes 10 our
shores who dares to walk the streets, uncon-

he finds suitable and comfortable

good clothing as soon as the. cut has been
changed in some minute particular. man
builds new house. not because the old one is
less comfortable. but because somebody else has
new one and his own is outshone BY IL.
Even our children are clad nearly pos
sible like some one eIses children and must be
carefully held down lest any originality shall
take root in their fertile minds.
We decTy and frown upon anything which is
Dot duplicated In every particular by every one
OF our friends and acquaintances and even the
people on the streets who mean nothing to

He looks in vain for the free American and
finds him chained 10 hours 20 business and fitted
into conventional pattern which has rubbed
OF all individuality and has left him and his
fellows a. like ss peas in a pod.
