Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 157, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 July 1913 — Progress. [ARTICLE]

Progress.

He who has not lived in those years when an old world is disappearing and a new one making its way cannot realize the tragedy of life, for at such times the old is still sufficiently strong to resist the assault of the new, and the latter, though growing, is still not strong' enough to annihilate that world on the ruins of which alone It will be able to prosper. Men are then called upon to solve insoluble problems and to attempt enterprises which are both necessary and Impossible. There is confusion everywhere, in the mind within and in the world without. Hate often separates those who ought to aid one another, since they are tending toward the same goal, and sympathy binds men together who are forced to do battle with one another. —Ferrero.
