Almost all of the glorified editorial
page preachers continuously expound
the doctrine of go-get Laziness is
the last word in evil, the great foe
of Getting On in the World Person.
ality plus, righteous hustling, con-
tinuous out-pouring of hectic energy
these are their gods. The desire to
have it out with them long has burn
ed, like beckoning torch. Is there
not something to be said for lazi-
ness, as it is commonly called?
The very apotheosis of Incidence
was depicted in that fugitive simile,
"as lazy as Joe the Marine, who laid
down his musket to sneeze."
Joe was surely the very opposite of
those poor devils of whom it was
said, "they labor like galley slaves" ("

TOLL the rigors of which it is difficult
for the modern mind to grasp.
To be sure, Joe is given close race
by Ludham's dog, which, Thomas
Fuller said, leaned his head against
the wall to bark"
But the poor dog applied no intelli-
gence, no thought process, to the bust
ness, while Joe, biped, genus Homo,
was lazy in a premeditated, calculated
fashion.
With the dog, the act of seeming
laziness may have been sheer acci-
dent. 1t may have been merely case
of abating muscular energy, not ac-
| counted for by any process of brain.
| That is to say, the dog could not and
| therefore did not reason out action
and consequence, cause and effect 1t
is doubtful, on that account, if his
action could properly be called lazy
1t may have been lacking in energy
but laziness connotes something more
than mere lack OF energy There are,
in truth, 10 lazy animals, any more
than there are lazy machines. There
are merely those that move fast
slow, or that do not move at all
