SERVICE.

There is new philosophy very con Venient for passing it along, which is now making it's appearance in the industrial world. ana which founds itself upon alleged scientific facts. That is the somewhat modern theo- ny of service.
 Really as now eXpounded it should be called the theory Of service through sacrifice, and when the other man is doing the sacrificing, it is exceedingly satis- factory and convenient if it is done for your benefit.
 Especially these later days has there been a marked revival of an old time belief, modified and fOrtl- fled by pseudo scientific sanction, which gives it apparently a more sincere veneer.
 Briefly the idea is that life has at all times depended for it's individual success at the expense of other indi- viduals And it is pointed out from the realm of biology that life in as cending plain, lives at the expense of other lives. Carnivorous anlmais kill living things and devour them. Animals which live upon fruits or grasses or vegetation of any kind must destroy those things to ob- tain sustenance, and one entity purchases it's continued existence at the expense of another winch thus serves.
 The deduction is brough1 right home to human beings ny these self styled scientists justi.ying as a condition of human life that some were made to be sacrificed for the leneft of others, and thaC that is tie very law of life.
 in this way they e ..iaiG induslri- al accidents and industria, fatalities. In this way they explain the need of individuals sacrificing their lives upon the battlefelds that others may triumph, and it is held that for this same biological reason, some must endure poverty and misery that others will be happy.
 To buttress this position as we stated they overhaul the entire biol ogical science and they proceed to found upon the conditions of exist ence the facts of service and the facts of sacrifice. They show that nature is cruel and remorseless. they prove that one species wars against the other, and that even down to the ants which harness to their service certain forms of aphidae upon the secretions of which the ants thrive, just as hu- man beings thrive upon the milk of cows, the inferior living things are compelled to serve those which are superior.
 But all this reasoning as far as it is an attempt to justify the ex- ploitation of one class of men by another, or one race of human be- ings by another is all founded upon a fallacy.
 There is not single case in the entire biological world where the same species lives at the expense of other members thereof It is true that the ants live off aphidae to certain extent, but the latter are no more closely related to the ants, than is the grain that is garnered and made to devote itself to the sustenance of the ants in stead of giving forth vegetable life and reproducing itself. Even the one apparent exception, the drones in a beehive, are merely tolerated because they alone possess the func- tion of sex and they are destroyed when they perform their function, by the neuter working bees.
 But no such terrific sacrifice any where is demanded as is insisted upon in the world of humanity, that men, women and children give of their brain and their brawn, sacri- flee themselves in toto for the bene- fit of an owning class.
 Biology stops short of any ana logy in the animal or vegetable world that would be equivalent to child labor, servitude, enforced toll.
 In no part of the animal king dom however fierce, do animals at- tempt to control all the food or all
