Ths Ken or the Nast
Lditor Independent: In its com
ments on "The Hen or the Egg," The
Independent misses it in assuming
them to be tha analogues in their re
lationship to the human unit an-1
society. The egg and the incubator
would seem a truer one.
There is no necessity for knowing
which was first, the hen or the egg,
as both are the products of nature.
If the hen be insisted upon as the
necessary analogue then the nest
would be the true analogue of society.
If society was here before any liv
ing human unit presented itself upon
the scene, so were there nests before
any present day hens or eggs put in
their appearance; and for present pur
poses these two are the same, both be
ing the products of nature; while
nests, incubators, and society are tho
products of life artificial.
Because nature operates in part
through its vital form, we cannot
merge these forms in nature witho it
destroying them; and is not that the
purpose of all merging? It will never
do" to think of so doing for it gives
the instinct of self-preservation tho
lie direct; and society could not possi
bly benefit itself by the destruction of
all its units. Here is a cleavage pre
senting itself with nature's own
stamp upon it; let the rattlesnake
speak for nature with its venomous
fangs.
This is the cleavage of the historical
record of humanity. It's the broad
cleavage of the prehistoric ages be
tween the earlier races of Europe and
western Asia; and those intruding
stocks from the Fijii to the Sandwich
islands. It was the cleavage in all
ages between the cannibal and the
anti-cannibal.
. Our socialistic friends, and the su
pernatural istic theologians, are inter
ested in this matter and from motive?,
of self-interest one would look for
them to take a hand in such a discus -sign,
for they are or they are not the
friends of humanity. They must af
firm or they must deny the fact ex
pressed in the federal declaration that
all men are born equally endowed
with certain inalienable rights, and
that by men we understand all hu
man units, man, woman or the newly
born babe.
Deny that fact and what becomes of
American political society? It leaves
it a mass of wriggling humanity. Deny
that fact and what becomes of concep
tions of justice or equity? They are
ten imposible. That mass of wrig
gling humanity would have no volun
tarily reasoned out mentally binding
force to hold them together. Anarchy
tould not be more truly defined then
in the absence of such a voluntary
force. The Asiatic has ever been with
out such a force. Their bonds were
always from without themselves. Th?
robbers' physical superiority, or tho
robbers' mental exterior force; fear
of the supernatural.
The chasm of this cleavage tho
American people are confronting to
day, in the Baers-Pierpont Morgans
and all the corporations and commer
cial system beneficiaries. A stand
somewhere they must take before long
Could there be a better preparation
than such as comes of a discussing
the primary or bottom facts and in
trying to discover what they are?
H. ELLINGSTON.
Minneapolis, Minn.
A Practical Benefit
Mr. Thomas Stoner, Watson, Mo.,
sends The Independent the following
problem:
"A stockman bought 100 head of
hogs and sheep. He paid for No. 1
hogs, $15.25 each; for No. 2 hogs,
Vx2.75; for No. 3 hogs. $9.50; for No.
4 hogs, $7.25; for No. 5 hogs. $5.00
each; and for sheep, $2.50 per head.
How many of each kind did he buy for
$900?"
Mr. Stoner would like a solution
showing by what rule it was obtained.
He thinks it would be beneficial for
educational institutions to offer cash
prizes for the solutions of such pro
blems, believing the knowledge would
be of practical benefit. The Indepen
dent is not inclined to agree with this.
The most practical knowledge of arith
metic is first to know how to add a
column of figures quickly and ac
curately; second, to multiply quickly
and accurately: third, to understand -
subtraction and division, and fractions r
and percentage. Who ever heard of a
stockman going out to buy 100 head oC4l
animals for even $900, paying all tb-3 'xi
way from $2.50 up to $15.25 each for
them' No one outside of imaginary;
stockmen in up-to-date arithmetics.
Harry E. Butler, Union, Knox Co.,
Me.: I like The Independent very
much. Heard Mr. Bryan at Rockland
July 25 last; it was the best speech I
ever heard. Knox is the only demo
cratic county In Maine and we are
Bryan men, too, most of us.
