BY DIR. MAX NoRDAU.


This Is the~frst Of two articles By Max
NordAu, the eminent scientist and historian,
condemning the fetish Of Organization, Wrlt-
ten for The Washington Herald. They have
heightened interest because DR.. Noruau was
iItsned by the French on account Of his Tsu-
ton birth He vas recently paroled for his dis
tinE1ashsd services. and Is now living In
Madrid.
For thousands of years the relation of
the individual to the State has been the
object Of philosophical speculation. Does
the State exist for the benefit Of the in
dividual? Does the individual exist to
be used up. to be spent up by the State?
Is It the function and the end OF the
State to render the life OF each citizen
more secure, easier, more fruitful, hap
pier, by means Of order, of justice, Of
the enforcing Of criminal and civil war, of
the execution Of great public works which
lie beyond the possibilities OF individuals
or small groups?
Is It the duty OF the citizen 70 sacrifice
his ease, his happiness, his fortune, his
powers his life to the State without eX-
pectins any present or future advantage
10 himself or his family, without the right
Of asking for what useful and plausible
purpose he ought to make all the sacrt-
fees exacted from him?
Plato entertains no doubt as to the
everything. the individual is nothing. To
the State all the rights. to the individual
gil the duties The end OF the individual
is to maintain the State. The end Of the
State is to maintain itself and to at
tain the highest possible degree Of power.
authority. splendor and glory.
A directly opposite standpoint is taken
by Herbert Spencer. He proclairns the
redeeming doctrine that the individual
is his own end. that man is created for
man, that the State, in order to justify its
being. is bound to further all the inter-
ests Of the individual.
The young science of sociology, which
owes to Auguste Comte its name and its
outlines, endeavors to establish the mean
ing Of the concepts state" and ''indi-
vidUal."
Individual Entirely Subordinate.
There is in sociology a school called the
"Organicist' which asserts that the indi-
vidual has no existence al all, that lie
comes into being only by the body polite

Peculiar Fertilizer in Tasmania.

Tasmania is great farming and
fruit country and there is a good To-
cal market for all the spent oil shsle
from the distilling retorts. The rock
from which the oil has been taken
sells at 50 per ton for agricultural
uses The assays do not disclose any
rich fertilizing matter in the spent
shale. yet when il is pulveriZed and
distributed over farming lands and gar
den soils IL produces such wonderful
results as to make the demand for il
greater than the supply. II appears
to act on the soil mechanically by
aerating IL. and possibly. by con-
densing moisture from the atmosphere
and transferring II to the crops. II is
expected that the prices obtainable for
the spent shale will eventually cover
mining and retorting costs-Engineer-
