Excerpt from The Dragon's Teeth: A Mythological Prophesy We are both citizens of the same great country. Whatever public policy affects you, affects me; what ever is for your ultimate best interests is for mine also. Now, just for you and me, personally, it little mat ters what kind of a civic policy dominates, or what kind of a government we have; for those changes which permanently affect the social and industrial life of a people usually come so slow, and the alterations made in one lifetime appear so small as to be scarcely noticeable, unless we stop and carefully compare pres ent with former conditions. As men become inured to circumstances and environment, they become cal loused with indifference. Before any great social change is wrought, the curtain will be rung down for you and me, and other actors, another generation will come on the stage; but while we are performing our little parts, let us examine what is being put on the boards for the next act, the one our children will have to play.
