THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
SoeIKTY AND Till: I’IIKSS. "It is silly lo talk as if all social corruption had ils sent, among the well-to-do. But it is also silly to blind oneself to the fact, established by an almcst unbroken sucees-ioii of scabrous cases in the law lourts. that the unemployed ‘tail’ of any large class of people either rich or having luxurious habits without actual ri; lies is a somewhat- ulcerous appendage for a nation t i carry about it. A young, country like a primitive shin, carries very few 1 ass.-ngers. We have to educate our p.’i -sen gel's. somehow or other lvotli the passenger who prefers living on the dole to doing a- day's work and the more luxurious shirker who substitutes for tile plain living of the dole the lleshpiols j-roeu'.able by sponging and blackmail." “A fan: hex ter Guardian”.
