But' how about the future? How about the rising generations of chil dren and grandchildren. In this over working of nature's resources, what influence will it bear upon the line on future generations. To every action there is a reaction. The pendulum never swings so high to one side but that it will swing as high to the other. By force of neces sity this era of prosperity must be followed by periods of depression, and who ever argues to the contrary, is unwise. Man at the present time is alright. He is feasting upon the resources ot nature husbanded for thousands of years. At the present rate of waste these resources can't last always. Then, how about it? that the ques tion.
