THE LOGIC OF EVENTS.
By Henry N. Harger.
PURSUIT OF EQUALITY
Altho the proposition that all men
are created equal Is one of the
brightest gems In the Declaration of
Independence, there are an increas
ing number of citizens who contend
that the idea is phoney and should
be stricken from the document. And
the doubting Thomases who go about
debunking this philosophy have
quite a formidable collection of facts
to support their contention. Ths
intelligence tests, they say. prove
conclusively that the distribution of
grey matter has not been parceled
out equally, and no one can rise to
refute the statement. Nor have
other endowments, such as pulctri-
tude, artistic ability, length and
breadth, to say nothing of heft, been
spread equally over the population.
And poorly Informed Is the person
who will gainsay that there isn't
inequality in such respects.
However, while the proponents of
the inequality theory pyramid their
evidence, one is wont to ask if the
joy killers have a correct slant on
the proposition in question. Did the
minds that conceived the equality
Idea have reference to the means or
the ends? The latter would seem to
be what is implied. The end is hap
piness, and as such all are created
equal. The portals of the kingdom
of Heaven are always open and the
drawbridge down; one and all may
enter at any time. To those who have
inherited but few means, happiness
Is quoted at a bargain price, altho
its lustre and texture Is no less per-
feet than that which the rich man
must sell all his goods to obtain.
A child comes Into the world
minus one or more of the five senses
and the sympathy of all Is extended.
But losing the sense of sight In
spired Milton's sublime sonnet on
his blindness, and gave him a fuller
view of the promised land than
when he was able to see. When Edi
son had his ears boxed to deafness
the experience did not rob him of
his birthright to happiness; In fact
some argue that It enriched his life,
and Helen Keller seems to have ex
tended her deaf, dumb, and blind
head further into the realm of hap
piness than the average person who
has all his faculties.
So as far as being created equal
is concerned, the proposition is still
water tight. Though the pickpock
ets report that purses are by no
means equal In coin content, and
though no two cradles inventory the
same, all men are created equal
when It comes to happiness. And if
some have a paucity In stock, it
might I be well to read on to where
the Declaration
1
of Independence
speaks of “the pursuit of happiness,”
for in the final analysts If the ge-
ometry books are correct, a proposi-
tion is something to be proved, and
any student of mathematics will say
that they end their solution are lW(
different things.

«J INREALITY" was the subject
