The prodigious ESSAY on THE Cause
Of World Unrest which the Morning
Post has lately published in seven

which the student of political thought

the same party standpoint. Burke gave

piece of political philosophy. To-day
the leading organ of Conservative opin
ion in this country can only expould a
sort of political demonolosy, borrowed
partly from the olscurantists of Bour-
hon Clericalism and partly from the
fanatics of Hohenzollern Anti-Semi-
tism. 1t would be mcrciful to pass

it is calculated to work good deal
of mischief. Credulous and vicious
people are still abundant, and they
are not confined to the crowd. Mr..

same apocalypse for years. The
Morning Post" may bring them re-
cruits. and that assuredly is not de-
sirable.
The theory of the Morning Post
may be briefly stated. Its fundamen-
tai contention is that all political un-
rest is artificial 1t is product of
the Hidden Hand which is now re-
vcalcd to us as n formidable Sect
eacompassing the world. This sect has
been at its present work for at least
a hundred and fifty wears. The French
Revolution was contrived by it. as well
as all the subordinate revolutions
down to our own time. Trade Union
ism, Socialism. Syndicalism. Bolshcy-
ism. Sim Fein. Indian Nationalism.
and their analogues in every part of
! the globe, are outward and visible
signs of its sinister activity. That
there are social grievances and even
evils at the root of this unrest is not
/ denied. but they are as artificial as
| the unrest itself. They nave all been
deliberately brought about by the Hid
tlea Hand in order to stir IN revolt
acainst the Throne and Alter. The
way in which it is done is little com
plicated. Behind the restless and
scditious movements. which we all
know. there is a secret revolutionary
orga anization in the shape of Free
masonry. But this is only ilterme-
diate, for Frecmasonry itself. thru

Those ancient enemies of the human
