The editor of The Woman's World, in a characteristically strong editorial, says: "There are two ways by which men ascend the scale of society and climb to position and distinction. One way is by the mere force of animal will and brute determination. It is by this method that most men have massed great hoards of money, obtained offices of emolument, etc. The other method is by moral and spiritual ascension; by true worth, whose nature it is to arise from base conditions, like all fine and etherialized substances. Now the difference in results of these two methods is apparent. He who ascends by mere brute force and bull-dog tenacity holds his place precariously. As the props by which he is supported begin to decay— as they certainly will in time from the exhaustion of age, if nothing else—he falls again to his natural level. But if he has arisen by the true method which has had its beginning deep down in the primitive well-being of the race, working and growing all the time towards the light, he is a monument of truth's own building, and no effort directed by evil influence can dislodge him."
