Nv DONALD McDOUGAL.


Every now and then we meet
q man who tells US. something
after the fashion Of 1921 model
millionaire displaying q canvas
that he admires enthusiastically
because II cost him 5000, that
he thinks for himself.
We can't help feeling, some
how, that the advantage Of think
ing for yourself 10 greatly over
rated.
It's highly specialized activ-
ity, and why should We dabble In
it any more than we would In
laying bricks or tailoring?
Suppose we started to nanufac-
ture cur own clothes, and went
around town with homemade
pants on. We'd look pretty
ridiculous. But IL we could be
turned inside out, without hurt
Ing uh, so our pants were hidden
from view, and our homemade
thoughts left Tapping In the
breeze, we'd look worse.
Wonder what the average mo-
torist would look like, turned
thoughtside out that way.
His idea Of the traffic regula-
tons would look like he'd run
short of cloth. You probably
wouldn't be able to tell it from
w. J. Bryan's version Of the
Darwinian theory.
In the course Of his work, Oar.

how far a stone would sink into
the earth under its own weight.
He got q stone of the required

Twenty-Five years, then measured
the hole it made.
That's the way Darwin did his
work. He was what you might
call painstaking. There was moth
ing Of the touch-and.go about that
student. He didn't like to draw
any hasty conclusions.
In one Of his works you can
read the most convincing, inspir-
ing illustration Of the practical
benefit Of the Golden Rule that's
to be found in all literature.
According to Darwin's theory,
those nations that contain the
largest number Of sympathetic,
self-sacrificing members, are the
nations that survive. Nations
with only a few such individuals
perish.
His Investigations show that
sympathy, active at first only
within the family circle, grows to
include the neighborhood; the
tribe, the nation
No one can read Darwin's book
intelligently and believe that sym.
pathy will recognize national
boundaries. 1t must grow until

men, whether descended from
apes or angels, won't spend their
spare time cutting each others
threats, or preparing for such
operation.
Incomparably the finest proof
of the Golden Rule is found in
Darwin's Descent Of Man." And
Bryan condemns 1t as un-Biblical.

for the monkey, he missed the

had ever been presented to the insti

cost 100000. A sum of $25, 900 yearly
is also being received by the library
from the Coolidge endowment gift Mr.
Putnam explained. until it will even
