only of the constructive and claims
the rest of The Day Book readers
want the same. How he came by
this information he does not state;
probably evolved it from his interior
consciousness or got an inspiration
from somewhere. He never polled
the readers to find out.
It is doubtless more pleasant to
revel in the flowing fields of itera-
ture or build up something than it
is to tear down or kill weeds in a
garden. However, a garden is Of lit
tie account unless the weeds are de-
stroyed. Destructive work is abso-
IuteIy necessary and always comes
before the constructive. To attempt
to build a house without wrecking
the old one or doing the proper exca-
waiting would be folly.
Everywhere in nature the double
work of tearing down and building
up is going on. Stone, iron and the
material for brick, concrete, etc., is
secured by ripping open the earth
and destroying its old form for the
new.
