The Evolution of Sociology as

A few weeks since Gee. D. IIerron, a
professor in Iowa college at Grinnell,
delivered from a sociolistic standpoint,
one of his characteristic disquisitions
on social problems before a Chicago
audience, in the initial paragraph of
which he undertook to impress his
hearers with the fallacious idea that in

and to himself; and there must be
equal freedom for each to choose

When was there ever a time in the
history of the United States when all
men were more "equally secure in the
material means and resources needful
for a complete hfe ?" When were "the

', having first divined the cause, reasons
from that to effect its solution is as
plain as that heat is the opposite of
cold.
Again men are not created iu every
sense equal, not only because the
Almighty did not so design, but be-
cause in so designing an endless chain
ot trouble was happily and effectually
averted. Suppose, for instance, that
all men had beeu create4 the same in
the matter of tastes. What would
have heeu the result? Either they
would all have been possessed of the
determination to take unto themselves
the same woman as a life companion,
or the failure so to do would have
necessitated the creation of all women
after the same likeness or design.
tiad this uniformity of taste extended
to the realm of food it is equally true
that a sullicient quantity of that par-
ticular article which such common
weakness nmst and ~ould naturally
crave could not he produced on the
face of the earth to supply tile normal
demand without a readjustment of its
producing power, involving radical
changes in physical and climatic con-
ditions. Or had all men been created
with an avaricious and insatiable
desire to accumulate wealth, and had
the choice of methods by which such
accumulations were to be acquired
been confined to such as involved the
exercise of the minimum measure of
physical strength it is equally plain
that in the natural course of events
there must come a time when the, till-
ing of the soft must cease with the re-
sult that physical starvation would en-
sue as a logical consequence of apathy
in its cultivation. In the same manner
in which the Creator of mankind
diversified tastes he also diversified.

not place all the disadvantages in one
