much hard cash in the land. Nor, getting themselves into difficulties, do they seek to remedy shortages of essentials by cut ting down the available supplies of food, clothing, and other necessities.
 In lesser matters, too, the savage has the bulge on us. He does not have to read about Hauptmann trials; he does not have to listen to crooners, nor does he Kill 35,0OO people year in the process of moving from one place to another, as we do. He does not have the infidelities and imbecilities of Hollywood to support, nor must he listen to senators explaining that his country will go to the dogs if it joins the World Court.
 Is the answer, then that we must give the country back to the Indians forthwith, and woo the simple life while squatting placidly under tree? Not at all. We sim ply might remember that the society we have today is not an end, but beginning. By civilizing ourselves, we have surround ed ourselves with much foolishness our only hope is that we shall discard most of the foolishness as we go along, and some day reach state which will repay us for the vexations we are going through now.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-28
Simpler Life

Benjamin Franklin has been called "the first civilized American; nevertheless, wise old man that he was, he was never entirely sold on the idea that the civilized man is really happier than the untaught savage All this comes to light in the dis covery of marginal comments by Franklin in an old book owned by the Library of Congress. This book, published in 1770, undertook to review the happiness which civilization brings, and Franklin scribbled his dissent on the edge of one of the pages.
 "The difference" he wrote, lis not 30 great as may be imagined. Happiness is more generally and equally diffused among savages than in our civilized societies. No European who has once tasted savage life can afterwards bear to live in our societies. The care and labor of provid- ing for artificial and fashionable wants, the sight of so many rich wallowing in superfluous plenty, whereby so many are kept poor and distressed by want; the in- science of office, the snares and plaques of law, the restraints of custom, all con- tribute to disgust them with what we call civil society,""
 If Franklin found the lesurely pastoral society of his day uncomfortably complex and contradictory, one wonders what he would have thought of life in the America of 1885. Probably he would have yelled for new sheet of paper and sat down to < make new list of the ways in which the savage has it all over the civilized man.
 For savages, after all, do not get them selves into the kind of tangle where peo- pie go shoeless because there are too many shoes, breadless because there is too much wheat, and moneyless because there is too
