The Place That Ideals Hold

number of rather notable things have taken
place in our country during the past decade. Among
them is the strange change that has come over the
little band of serious thinkers who so
active in urging assorted kinds Of political and So
cial reform.
SO marked has this tendency been that The
Nation. a magazine of, by and for liberals re-
Gently ran series of articles on the question,
what has become Of the pre-war radicals"
The answers interesting. Through most Of
them there ran a thread of comment something like
this:
1.-The people aren't capable of following great
causes. We have given up the fight because it is
impossible to get anywhere by appealing to the
better nature of the average man. Folks are too
selfish and too indifferent give themselves to the
service Of ideals"
That would be rather sad if it true But
would like to suggest that it isn't.
There is no mistake more tragic than putting too
low an estimate on the average mans capacity for
sef-sacrifcing service. The truth Of the matter is
that the worlds leaders have never yet had the
vision to call fully and freely mank nds spiritual
energy
Hold the most furnished ideal up before

will flock to your standard in droves What, do

The senate bill to prescribe rules
for the changing by corporations of

the last fight of the day. The vote
was 60 to so and the clincher mo-
ton was Immediately carried.
The bin had previously been intro
duced in the house and was killed
by Nonpartisans who contended that
1t opens the way for chicanery by
corporation officials in changing
the beneficiarics Of life insurance
policies.
The bill provides that the presi-

beneficiary of any life insurance
policy carried by the company.
