white men that take pride In their jungle Of steel and
glass as the monkeys take pride In their forest
In place Of the different kinds Of animals apes
and city -apes-there will come real HUMAN beings
They will cultivate every level foot Of the sarths
surface drain every marsh and irrgste every desert
The treasure effort and intelligence that they have de-
voted the past killing each other in and swindlng
each other in peace they will in helping each other at
all times and making the earth what it should be.
Competition will be replaced by emulation The strong
will rejoice In power help the weak and weakness will be
gradually eliminated from the earth.
Men will dwell only in the high places for there are
on this earth magnificent mountain homes for every human
being, with plenty Of room.
The level plains will be cultivated drained grain fields
fields Of flowers alternating There will be great centers
Of industrial physical intellectual and artistic work
To and from those centers the populations Of the future
will travel in their flying machines, going ton miles or
hundred miles with almost equal swftne living where
they please working where they please independent OF
distance the gull that fishes miles from shore and
nests where it chooses.
Thus far men have developed their mock civilization
and false prosperity by eating the animals, driving and
abusing them by working and cheating their less able
brothers, exploiting them sometimes as slaves sometimes
a. serfs and again useful machines politely labeled
Free and Independent Wage Earners."
Civilization of today is based individual selhshnes',
absolute indifference to the welfare of others.
The civilization Of the future will be based know
edge that nothing except what helps others and raises
the average Of human existence.
You might easily picture what human nature is now
and what it ought to be and will be in future.
Take hundred selfish, brutal Of the average sort
and thousand dollar bills among them Watch
their fury hatred and sehness they struggle and tear
each other get the money When the scrambing is
over will have money, will have none Those
that have will hate and envy those that have it, And
those that will despse those without and feel them
selves superior.
Under different circumstances, put the same hundred
men the edge Of the water and allow child to fall in
ALL nearly ALL of the hundred that made desperate
efforts get money for themselves will plunge into the
water and make the effort to the life of child
unknown to them
And when one successful brings the child safe to Shore
the ninety nine Others free Of jealousy hatred will
gratulate him and rejoice in his success.
Civilization is in a stage represented by the throw
ling of money in tho crowd We struggle tear at each
other each trying get all for himself The unsuccessful
envy and hate the successful those that have look down
with contempt upon those that have not and glory in their
own superiority.
In the years come when both the junges Of forest
and city shown in this picture shall have been wiped out
men will work for each other, and you really will have
CIvILIzAT1oN. It has not yet begun All the earth is
Jungle.
