Epictetan ethic, something like the
following; "Any person may live
happy in poverty, but few in wealth
and power. So great is the adyan-
tage Of poverty, that no wise man
would exchange it for disreputable
wealth; unless indeed Themistocles,
the son Of Neocles, the most wealthy
of the Athenians, but poor in virtue,
was better than Aristides and Socra-
ties. But both himself and his wealth
are persisted, and without a name.
For bad man loses all in death; but
of special privileges are hard beset
for honest explanations for the neces-
sity of perpetuated inequality they do
say some stupid things. Why doesn't
a sense of humor thrill them with
shame at their own fool performances
SO the dearly beloved poor man in
our Unfortunately rich" capitalism of
the future will be equipped for plain
living and high thinking, like the
Thoreaus and Emersons and Tolstois
and Whitmans? HIM! But suppose
his high thinking leads him to pooh
pooh plain" living? What then? Sup
pose he relishes the elaborate living
of the inordinately rich more than his
own simple fare? What then? MOI
The dramatic cIeavages of present day
capitalism will either disrupt society
or what is more likely, society lin the
sociological sense) will urgently dis

petuator of harsh inequalities will not

finer traits of humanity, the odds may
be in his favor"
Was ever more namby-pamby
preachment' imposed upon a hard
working world? OF the reader is in
terested in shattering refutation Of
this essay by the seIf-same author, let
him read Professor Clark's "Philoso-
ply of Wealth" written when that
gentleman's insights into graphic
reality were fresh and penetrating
The ultimate plea Of the menaced
leisure class is study in equivoca-
ton. The honorable worker is to
have his lot improved. He is to see
his dreams modestly realized. He is
to be given a fair education. He is
to be admitted (on judgment day. to
the sanctum of his millionaire-com-
rade who will not look down upon him
with condescension. Envy and abuse
of power will have disappeared from
mans world. The billionaires will be
a standing challenge to the finest
traits in proletarian human nature.
Only by promoting divisive ineqali-
ties, can stratified society hope to
evolve a real brotherhood, wherein
love and respect will cement a friend
ship between the relatively poor and
the Unfortunately rich" "But
it is in the power of humanity to pro-
ject its fraternal bonds across the
chasms which such conditions (of divi-
sive Inequality create. Tho there be
thrones and principalities in our
earthly paradise, they will not mar
its perfection, but will develop the
finer traits of its inhabitants" (my
boldface.) No, this is not a travesty
on common sense indited for the
amusement of an awakening proletar-
lat. They are the sober assurances
of an old man, mentally exhausted
from half century struggle with OBJ
stinate reality. The essay from which
quote is supposedly contribution
to economic science In truth it is
gift to christian Science" 1t is a
foolish labor of love, vapid to the
point of nausea. MANY man with
a modest store may have no wish to
change lots with the multi-million-
aire." Suppose he has the wish, what
can he do to realize it in a stratified
society where startling inequalities
are inherited and legally perpetuated?
''For comfortable living, for high
thinking, and for the finer traits of
humanity, the odds may be in his IA
vor." This last sentence sounds like
the rankest nonsense or sheer char
latanism. Why not, as amiable Chris
tians, out of pure good-heartedness
exert our best efforts to Save" our
inordinately rich folk from the vexa-
tious lot of uncomfortable living, of
sordd thinking, and of cheaper traits
Of character, which they may develop

INTELLECTUAL VANITY, the prop
| OF the metaphysical daobler, is the
attitude which secretly sermonizes
thus: Mature has endowed a few
persons with unusual ability. The
vast majority Of humans, sad to ac-
knowledge, are congenitally rendered
immune from the germs of true cul-
ture. Evidently it becomes the bust
ness of the wise to ponder, to con-
verse, to publicize, to rule. Contrari-
wise, obeying Natures inexorable
cleavage, the people" must remain,
willy-nilly, the beasts of burden, to be
domesticated for the manifold house.
hold services of their superiors. Cruel
stratification-but there it is older
than history. Such is the cherished
belief of the whole leisure class. The
Catholic Church has immortalized this
disunion of rabble and elect. In a
very unique way the Church has met
the dilemmas of Culture. The select
among the Clergy are permitted by in
fallibility to read books-heretical in
order that they may be shrewdly pre-
pared to confute the blasphemies con-
tanned therein. OF course, only the
dependable Brothers are chosen for so
delicate and scrupulously honest
task The celebrated Index Expurga-
torious interdicts this surreptitious
knowledge to the majority of Catho-
lics,-the humble laity. The divine
purpose of this dualism is to keep the
masses in blissful ignorance. Think
ing for oneself is the objectionable sin
against the Holy Ghost. This dis
joint and most untenable theory of
culture will find subtle advocates so
long as blindness continues to flourish
as virtue, so long as respect for Of
fetal superiors continues unsophisti-
cate. The Catholic Church loves the
poor and ignorant so tenderly, it
would fain relieve them of the cruel
necessity of thinking specifically about
their hard destiny knowledge bring
eth sorrow" is the Catholic motto.
The profitable differences that fol-
low from the apotheosis of haught-
culture are numerous. The masses
are neither capable nor worthy of the
higher" education. They are natur-
ally fit to obey, serve, pray and beget.
No revolt or criticism or discomfort
should be encouraged, no less per-
mitted to spread, amongst the "peo-
pie" The iron hand of authority best
rules the ignorant, the multitudinous,
know-nothings. The joys and quests
