Show SMILES, VIRTUE AND GUILE 8mart Young Man of Dig Business Hu No Personality or Soul, Sayi Writer. i Modernity hns bred a kind of pers, ! who Is equivalent to thnt virtuous village vil-lage boy of pious reading appreciated so affectionately by the Sun In a recent re-cent reminiscence I mean tho bright young man of Mr bnolness. Ho is the I "grocer's loy" ot theso largo times, fallhful, indctatlf able, cheerful, clever, roclnb'.e, plear.:it tedious. He Is forever for-ever on time cr rhcad of time His I elders by one peroration have ome- i whnt of a mllllTrv 'tr-p, will nnd ' pobe about them. Forbidding they nre: they can frown. A certain contempt con-tempt Is their pride. Rut the bright, rlslr.s; young mas of tig business l chiefly smiles virtue nnd rcilly gy! e He Is a confcrvctivo In his 20t dhWi means that he Js n knave: wor c Indeed, In-deed, tbnn tho fcol who Is radlca' In his ags. I detest thut smart young man of tig burl-os He has no personality whatever no soul. He is bred of system sys-tem nnd m-thod and science, all of which shrewd things were invented by hi 3 ravage e'ders to keep those Inferior In-ferior oues down. Rut now the rising ris-ing young men nre bringing every slavish characteristic up with them Into power I can see what Is going to happen to them. Those trade union bliidconlsts will smash much ot tho pretty mechanics on the predominant just now In capital. The rufllans have personality at nny rate. A wiser rtate would tee to It that Its universities bred gentlemen for leisure, shrewd men for activity and powerfully willed matters for power Thnt thin and baro Idenl efficiency Is hatching n race of simpletons.
