nunian progress.
The House of Lords survives as a relit of feudalism, a
class distinction that is a handicap to human progress.
Like all other aristocracy, it is perpetated through in
herited wealth.
One of the great lessons taught bv democracv is that
aristocracy doe,i not, pay. is not profitable, either to the in
dividual or the nation that foots The bill.
There is and can be no aristocracy of brain... Brains
cannot be bequeathed or inherited. Scientists unite in the
assertion that "tho gamut of human achievement is run
in one generation." that many forms of greatness are ac
companied by lack of balance, that while genius wins riches
that enables descendants to keep up artificial airistocraey.
those descendants are more apt to inherit the lack of bal
ance than the genius.
Americans and Europeans see the blighting absurdity
of the caste system in India, where position and occupation
are predetermined, and humanity is without hope or oppor
tunity. They do not comprehend the equal folly, of tlieii
own caste system and its blight.
America is freer from fuedalism than Europe. AVi
have no aristocracy based upon tradition and prima
genture. We do not rob the people by government sub
sidies for descendants of great barons wo only rob then
by tariff and other subsidies for living, barons.
American aristocracy, if plutocracy can be so digni
fied, is based solely upon money, which enables descend
ants of the very rich to live in idle luxury, so creating :
burdensome caste system, for there can be no equality ol
opportunity with a large proportion of the wealth and re
sources withdrawn to become the inheritance of the few.
Great wealth goes hand in hand with great poverty
both the effects of unequal distribution. Bequeathing great
fortunes intact, works harm to the inheritors and to the na
tion. Poverty is a disease of civilization due to the concen
tration of wealth in the hands of the few a result of tin
caste system.
Humanity loves its chains a lid progress paiufulh
climbs a winding spiral stairway. Probably some day
when we do not see through a glass quite so darkly, we wil
in America be fighting the same battle against the eastt
system that the Liberals of England are fighting agains
their relic of feudalism, and make the great fortune react tt
the state to the people to whom it really belongs.

it is n well known fact that llio

Don't aBc your friends to find a

and not to reopen the whole bill.
This warning came after a part of
the message saying that the tariff
board would likely report before the
next regular session. Many con
gressmen believe that it is a plea bv
Tnft to the new congross which will
be democratic, not to cause the biisj.

follow a general revision. .Some o"
the cuiigii'ssinen, commenting n thi
art of the message, say that it -nv
that Tnft expects a strenuous ii-
