OUR ENVIRONMENT KEEPS US FROM SOARING.
Humanity is hungry for good—starving for better things. The majority are not sinners because they want to be, but because they have to bo or go under. Myriads who have been forced to lire dishonestly would gladly live honestly if they could. Thousands of women who., a few years ago, never dreamed of becoming sinners, now live sinfully because sinful conditions forced them into it. Thousands of men who once managed businesses, have been competed out into all sorts of demoralising schemes. Wo would all he what we ought to be if we had not voted to be our master's obliging slaves. "The road that leads to freedom runs past the ballot box." A plant will grow healthfully, blossom beautifully and produce splendid fruit when given a chance. So will human beings.—By Benjamin Koocn, in "The Masses."
