Brisbane, Arthur, 1864-1936

"Editorials from the Hearst Newspapers"


Human beings will have learned that the noblest thing one man can
do is to work for others.
Each will gladly contribute all his talent and strength to the
welfare of all.
All will gladly recognize, applaud and richly reward the special
ability of the individual.
There will be no poverty. Willingness to work will insure a
comfortable livelihood. Education will have developed the
average human intellect far beyond our conception. Nine-tenths
of the human race have been able to read only within the past few
years. What will a thousand years of universal education do?

The end of the leases of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company will
find many of our problems solved.
It will find, however, the real work of man just beginning. The
abstract work of the intellect, the proper organization of
society as expressed in human passions, the study of the
wonderful and beautiful universe outside of our own little
planet, will then begin with the conquest of our material
conditions.

of the big steam whistle.
