Attempt Made to Deny
the Philosophy of
"Pollyanna."
CONTENT AND SOME
OF ITS MANY ABUSES
Patricia Collinge Leans
Over Treacle Well, but
Keeps Balance.
BY HAYWOOD BROCN.

Gladness, as we understand II, IS
aggravated content. One may prop
erly be glad after a good dinner, a
straight flush, a football victory or
something Of the kind, but when play
breaches that everybody should strive
20 be continually glad it sets forth a
doctrine so immoral that it should not
be allowed TO pass unchallenged.
Pollyanna, the heroine Of the play OF
that name, declares in the first act
that she purposes 20 find something
in everything to be glad about" The
playwright would have US believe that
the persistent practice Of this phl!os-
ophy makes for the betterment Of the
world. We don't believe it. We think
that unworthy content IS mother ana
father Of most the evil in the world
There is Tammany and tuberculosis be-
cause folk are content to live IN squalor
and under poor government. Flale
glass and bar fixtures are purchased
out of the wages Of people who tninA
they have a right 20 be glad, no matter
what their circumstances.
As a matter of fact. gladness IS q
luxury or an amiable vice, as you VIII.
II is the reward of those who have
worked hard and well, and nobody
should be permitted more than the
most deeting moments Of gladness until
ne has done something 10 deserve =.
The glad man or woman IS Of no good
70 ANYBODY in particular except himself.
All the useful work Of the world IS
done by the Disconnected. The picket
line of civilization "a maintained by
folk with a fine frenzy TO exchange
things as they are for things as they
should be. Every world movement from
the crusades 70 Kar! Marx had IT'S
inception IN the fact that somebody
or other lost his temper.
We don't think any useful purpose
is served by telling people 10 look about
them and be glad that things are no
worse On the contrary. salvation lies
IN deciding that things should be ever
so much better Man finds himself
