CHARLES MILLER , President.
Mr. Vrooman , of
MODEL INDEED ! Kansas City , is to
establish a model
town n ° ar there. Everything will bo
operated on the co-operative plan ,
and each man is to stand upon a level
with his neighbor. To carry out this
scheme the houses will necessarily
be just alike , though it is difficult
i to see how the locations can bo
> equally suitable the same menu
must bo observed at each table , and
all males must labor a certain num
ber of hours in the factories. So far
this is very simple , but the crucial
test of the system will come when
the dross dispensers , in order to bo
entirely impartial , attempt to adorn
all the women with the same style
of hats , or are forced to drag the
country far and near in order to sup-
j ply all the children with the officially
, endorsed brand of spotted pups.
The fact is that man's chief ambi
tion is to surpass his neighbor. He
who would sit tamely down and say
"I am a man and my fellows are
simply other 'men. Like cattle wo
should be content to eat from the
trough and sloop in our stalls , " is
not entirely a man , and a city with
fa such citizenship would bo far from a
model.
It is the man who has confidence in
himself , and is willing to stand upon
" , Jiis own merits , the man who , without -
' "
, * out being offensively conceited , believes -
lioves himself capable of attending to
ft-
his own affairs , choosing his own
work and his own working hears ,
and training his children to adopt the
vocations for which by nature and in
clination they are most fitted , that
would mate a model town if his
efforts were not offset by the whin
ing , snivelling incompetent whs , in
stead of attempting to rise to the
level of those above him , attempts to
drag them down to his plane.
Men who speak for the co-oporativo
plan are naturally the ones who disbelieve -
believe in their ability to progress by
their own efforts. Imagine a town
filled with such creatures !
THE WISE MEN OF NEW YORK.
The wisest person in America is the
New York man who has never traveled
a hundred miles beyond the borders of
his own city. To him travel is unneces
sary , for whither would he travel ? His
city is at once the Alpha and Omega of
human ken. The sun , for him , rises
each morning just beyond the Brooklyn
Bridge and sets each evening in the
North River. In short , Now York is
America. To live outside of its domain
is simply to camp out. And the few
the seventy and odd millions who do
live "beyond the pale" simply live to
watch what New Yorkers do , how Now
Yorkers dress , what books New Yorkers
read , what New Yorkers say. Edward
Bok , in the May Ladies' Home Journal.
