A Changing World

A dynamic principle is at work
in the whole of human activity.
But that is sign of universal
progress. Great Britian's war
time Prime Minister, LloyG'
George, said during the worlds
armed conflict, "No man living
toay, is able to understand the
changes through which tile
world is passing through. Our
own government is in a state OF
fux. The late Justice Cardozo
of the Supreme Court wrote a
few years ago. eve live in a
world of change" If a body of
law were in existence adeqate
for civilization today, it could
not meet the demands Of to-
morrow. Society is in constant
change. SO long as it is in con.
slant, there can be no constancy

But it is a long way UP the hill.
While America IS synonym
for opportunity, and affords the
best living quarters in the world
today, American democracy, is
by far from being workable as a
practical social experiment. BY
practical democracy is meant: an
even start in the American race,
clear track and no fouling in

"'Now don't go back and tell
those people that they aren't going
to get anything! We realize they

Indicating that sponsors will
waste no time in acting on the
Main street plan, Knights met with
the State street committee Monday
noon, including Chester Collins, Roy
Womack and w. A. Scheniman, to
work out recommendations that
would be presented to city council
meeting Monday night.
"Dr. Hewes recommended three
subwayS for Ell Cntro," Kenights
dclared. "One at Main street, one
at Adams and another at Orange
avenue. When those are in he urged
all other crossings be closed. He
adocated quick action on Main
street and that the others be in
stalled later"
Stumbling block on which State
street tripped was Bureau regula-
tion providing grade separations
must eliminate existing hazardous
crossings. The Bureau, in earlier
negotiations. had indicated State
street might be made an excep-
ton.
DR.. HeWeS also recommended
that instead of a tWo-lane under
pass the Main street subway be
four-lane, Knights declared.
Fears that the Main street pro-
gram would be impossible because
of property damage were not re-
garded as serious by the city en-
gineer. He declared that it might
be necessary for the city to share
in this cost, but said he did not
believe it would be excessive.
Knights expected to attend a
