| 15487 | How many policemen inside? |
| 15487 | But where is the larger life of which she has dreamed so long? |
| 15487 | Deep down in his heart perhaps-- but who knows what may be deep down in his heart? |
| 15487 | Has the experience any value? |
| 15487 | Have we worked out our democracy further in regard to clothes than anything else? |
| 15487 | If the charity visitor is such a person, why does she pretend to like the poor? |
| 15487 | If you have nothing to give us, why not let us alone and stop your questionings and investigations?" |
| 15487 | In moments of indignation the poor have been known to say:"What do you want, anyway? |
| 15487 | Is it habit or virtue which holds her steady in this course? |
| 15487 | Of what use is all this striving and perplexity? |
| 15487 | She says sometimes,"Why must I talk always of getting work and saving money, the things I know nothing about? |
| 15487 | That life which surrounds and completes the individual and family life? |
| 15487 | The stern questions are not in regard to personal and family relations, but did ye visit the poor, the criminal, the sick, and did ye feed the hungry? |
| 15487 | Their eager little heads popped out of the windows full of questioning:"Was it a man or a woman?" |
| 15487 | They are perhaps the most obvious manifestations of that desire to know, that"What is this?" |
| 15487 | Why does she not go into business at once? |
| 15487 | Why should she ignore her father''s need for indulgence, and be unwilling to give him what he so obviously craved? |
| 15487 | and"Why do you do that?" |
| 29508 | And yet who can doubt that this spirit is spreading? |
| 29508 | Can the United States take part in this commerce in such a way as to help, not hinder, international progress in harmony? |

| 29508 | Is it absolutely certain that nothing can change the spirit of democratic peoples? |
| 29508 | Is it serving all or a few? |
| 29508 | Is the economic process too desperate a field for larger motives? |
| 29508 | The great problem here is, therefore: How can men be brought to seek consciously what now they unintentionally produce? |
| 29508 | The great questions then are, as with political power: How can this great power be coöperatively used? |
| 29508 | V What bearing has this sketch of the significance and progress of coöperation upon the international questions which now overshadow all else? |
| 29508 | What limits to the frightfulness yet to be discovered by chemist and bacteriologist? |
| 29508 | What navy could guarantee German commerce against the combined forces of Great Britain and the United States? |
| 29508 | Who can fail to see that common welfare comes not without common intention? |
| 29508 | Why do nationalism and internationalism clash? |
| 29508 | Why do we find the present calamities of war charged to economic causes? |
| 29508 | Why not measure a merchant or banker by similar tests? |
| 29508 | Yet now, what president or minister, legislator or judge, would announce as his aim to acquire the greatest financial profit from his position? |
| 21959 | And you''ll come? |
| 21959 | But how was I to know that you meant Miss Churchill? |
| 21959 | Ca n''t you hush it up somehow? |
| 21959 | Cents? |
| 21959 | Hello, Jim,I called;"do you still want that job?" |
| 21959 | I trust, William, that you recognize the responsibilities of your stewardship? |
| 21959 | Is it generally known, sir, do you think? |
| 21959 | Is it safe, William? |
| 21959 | Looks as if he''d skipped, eh? |
| 21959 | Then you''ve asked? |
| 21959 | Think they intend to cut up? |
| 21959 | Well, shall I go? |
| 21959 | Well? |
| 21959 | Where''s Bud? |
| 21959 | Why did n''t you come out like a man and say so at first? |
| 21959 | Would n''t your daughter like a pillow under her head? |
| 21959 | You have n''t been such a double- barreled donkey as to give her an option on yourself, too? |
| 21959 | You here? |
| 21959 | You''re engaged to that Miss Moore, too, are n''t you? |
| 21959 | Come this afternoon and tell me, for we''re still good friends, are n''t we, Jack?" |
| 21959 | Does a College education pay? |

| 21959 | How far are you committed to Miss Churchill?" |
| 21959 | How have you managed to keep this Curzon girl from announcing her engagement to you?" |
| 21959 | How much did you lose?" |
| 21959 | Is that you, Jack?" |
| 21959 | So, to gain time, I blurted out:"Tell''em what, mam?" |
| 21959 | What is it you''ve said to her? |
| 21959 | Who is that?" |
| 21959 | Who''ll I report to?" |
| 21959 | Would the crowd join him? |
| 21959 | You have n''t married her on the quiet, too, have you?" |
| 21959 | You settled the whole business, I take it?" |
| 21959 | |+----------------------------+ XIX NEW YORK, November 4, 189-_ Dear Pierrepont:_ Who is this Helen Heath, and what are your intentions there? |
| 18603 | But would those persons have been able to come together, organize themselves, and earn what they did earn without him? |
| 18603 | Can democracy develop itself and at the same time curb plutocracy? |
| 18603 | Can we all reach that standard by wishing for it? |
| 18603 | Can we all vote it to each other? |
| 18603 | For A to sit down and think, What shall I do? |
| 18603 | He will always want to know, Who and where is the Forgotten Man in this case, who will have to pay for it all? |
| 18603 | How can we get bad legislators to pass a law which shall hinder bad legislators from passing a bad law? |
| 18603 | How did they acquire the right to demand that others should solve their world- problems for them? |
| 18603 | How has the change been brought about? |
| 18603 | I once heard a little boy of four years say to his mother,"Why is not this pencil mine now? |
| 18603 | If any man is not in the front rank, although he has done his best, how can he be advanced at all? |
| 18603 | If charters have been given which confer undue powers, who gave them? |
| 18603 | If the question is one of degree only, and it is right to be rich up to a certain point and wrong to be richer, how shall we find the point? |
| 18603 | If there were such things as natural rights, the question would arise, Against whom are they good? |
| 18603 | If we pull down those who are most fortunate and successful, shall we not by that very act defeat our own object? |
| 18603 | If, then, the question is raised, What ought the State to do for labor, for trade, for manufactures, for the poor, for the learned professions? |
| 18603 | Is it mean to be a capitalist? |
| 18603 | Is it wicked to be rich? |
| 18603 | Now, who is the victim? |
| 18603 | The amateurs in social science always ask: What shall we do? |
| 18603 | The pressure all comes on C. The question then arises, Who is C? |
| 18603 | The problem itself seems to be, How shall the latter be made as comfortable as the former? |
| 18603 | Then the only question is, Who shall have it?--the man who has the ownership by prescription, or some or all others? |
| 18603 | Then the question which remains is, What ought Some- of- us to do for Others- of- us? |
| 18603 | What is the other industry? |
| 18603 | What shall we do for Neighbor B? |
| 18603 | What shall we do with Neighbor A? |
| 18603 | What shall we make Neighbor A do for Neighbor B? |
| 18603 | What, now, is the reason why we should help each other? |
| 18603 | When did he ever get the benefit of any of the numberless efforts in his behalf? |
| 18603 | Where in all this is liberty? |
| 18603 | Who are the others? |
| 18603 | Who are they who are held to consider and solve all questions, and how did they fall under this duty? |
| 18603 | Who dares say that he is not the friend of the poor man? |
| 18603 | Who dares say that he is the friend of the employer? |
| 18603 | Who ever saw him? |
| 18603 | Who has the corresponding obligation to satisfy these rights? |
| 18603 | Who is he? |
| 18603 | Who is the other man? |
| 18603 | Why, then, bring State regulation into the discussion simply in order to throw it out again? |
| 18603 | Will any one allow such observations to blind them to the true significance of the change? |
| 18603 | Will any one deny that individual black men may seem worse off? |
| 18603 | Will any one say that the black men have not gained? |
| 18603 | Yet where is he? |
| 18603 | Yet who is there whom the statesman, economist, and social philosopher ought to think of before this man? |
| 18603 | etc., etc.--that is, for a class or an interest-- it is really the question, What ought All- of- us to do for Some- of- us? |
| 18603 | or, What do social classes owe to each other? |
| 12106 | And the second? |
| 12106 | Did you lick''em? |
| 12106 | Do n''t you love your Doodums anymore? |
| 12106 | Do you prefer to the er-- er-- Infant Phenomenon? |
| 12106 | Have you been fighting? |
| 12106 | How much is it? |
| 12106 | How would this pretty little shepherdess effect do? |
| 12106 | Including the Breakfast- Food-- er, James? |
| 12106 | Silver? |
| 12106 | Was you wantin''anything, Duckie Doodums? |
| 12106 | What d''ye mean by coming into my office smoking cigareets? |
| 12106 | What does this mean, young man? |
| 12106 | What is it? 12106 Which one?" |
| 12106 | You bet it helped you; but where''d you get the rest? 12106 You would n''t allow, Thorn, to look at it, thet thar was special pints about thet spring, would you?" |
| 12106 | You would n''t be willin''to swar thet the wealth of the Hindoos warn''t in thet precious flooid which you scorn? 12106 You would n''t deceive your Honeybunch, would you, Duckie Doodums?" |
| 12106 | Are you listenin'', Doodums?" |
| 12106 | But is there anything you do n''t say in it? |
| 12106 | Did n''t you know the horse was blind? |
| 12106 | Did you hear thet Boston banker what bought the Cracker- jack from us a- hollerin''? |
| 12106 | Eh, Thorn?" |
| 12106 | Graham?" |
| 12106 | I do n''t want to question your ability or the purity of your friends''intentions, but are you sure you know their business as well as they do? |
| 12106 | It began,''Where is my wandering boy to- night?'' |
| 12106 | Jim grinned:"He''d holler, would he? |
| 12106 | She would begin by saying in a please- don''t- all- speak- at- once tone,"Now, children, who wants this dear little neck?" |
| 12106 | So you''re the great bull, eh? |
| 12106 | Spit it out quick?" |
| 12106 | Where''d you get it? |
| 12106 | Where''d you get the money for all this cussedness? |
| 12106 | Where''d you get the money? |
| 12106 | Where''d you raise the money to buy all this cash lard and ship it abroad? |
| 12106 | Why did n''t you tell me?" |
| 12106 | Why do n''t you git a cellar man that''s been raised with the hogs, an''''ll treat''em right when they''re dead?" |
| 12106 | Would Thorn join him on a grub, duds, and commission basis? |
| 12106 | Would Thorn surprise his skin with a boiled shirt and his stomach with a broiled steak? |
| 12106 | You would n''t have me violate a confidence as affected the repertashun of a pore dumb critter, and her of the opposite sect, would you?" |
| 12106 | [ Illustration:"Say, Mr. Graham, do n''t you want that suit of clothes back?"] |
| 12106 | you''ve got to quit it and go to one of those churches where the right answer to the question,"What is the chief end of man?" |
| 28901 | IfHarold had won the battle of Hastings, what would have been the result? |
| 28901 | A complete science would clear up fully a problem which must occur often to all of us: How do you account for London? |
| 28901 | And, beyond this, we come to the question, What would be the bearing of our principles upon the institution of marriage, and upon the family bond? |
| 28901 | Are the merits of making money so great that they are transmissible to posterity? |
| 28901 | Are we simply to admit that there is no certainty about economical problems, and to fall back upon mere empiricism? |
| 28901 | Are we to say that"nature"is cruel because the arrangement increases the sum of undeserved suffering? |
| 28901 | Before we can judge of the individual, we must answer a hundred difficult questions: If he took the right side, did he take it from the right motives? |
| 28901 | But putting aside the audacity of asking unbelievers to pay for such teaching, one might be tempted to ask, what harm could it really do? |
| 28901 | But the problem remains, what considerations should be taken into account by the rule itself? |
| 28901 | But what are the attractive forces which hold together the body politic? |
| 28901 | But what kind of equality should be desired in order to secure this desirable organic balance? |
| 28901 | But why does nobody doubt that meteorology might become an exact science? |
| 28901 | But would it not be simpler to say,"the doctrine is not true,"than to say,"it is true, but means just the reverse of what it was also taken to mean"? |
| 28901 | But, then, is not that to increase enormously the field of competition? |
| 28901 | Can that which is true of the physical sciences be applied in any degree to the so- called moral sciences? |
| 28901 | Can we suppose that the mechanical repetition of a few barren phrases will do either harm or good? |
| 28901 | Can you give him more than a string of words as meaningless as magical formulæ? |
| 28901 | Did he foresee the inevitable effect of the measures which he advocated? |
| 28901 | Did he see what was the real question at issue? |
| 28901 | Do a common labourer and Mr. Gladstone deserve the same share of voting power? |
| 28901 | Do we regret the fact? |
| 28901 | Do you fancy for a moment that you can really teach a child of ten the true meaning of the Incarnation? |
| 28901 | Does justice imply the equality of the sexes; and, if so, in what sense of"equality"? |
| 28901 | Does the theory of the"struggle for existence"throw any new light upon the general problem? |
| 28901 | Does this fact justify inequality in general? |
| 28901 | Given the facts, what is the rule under which they come? |
| 28901 | Has he ever really thought about them? |
| 28901 | Has he, then, a right to inherit what his father has earned? |
| 28901 | Here, as before, the question is not, who is to be punished? |
| 28901 | How can it be just to place a being where he is certain to sin, and then to damn him for sinning? |
| 28901 | How could Dives justify himself for living in purple and fine linen, while Lazarus was lying at the gates, with the dogs licking his sores? |
| 28901 | How is it that four or five millions of people manage to subsist on an area of a few square miles, which itself produces nothing? |
| 28901 | How, if at all, does the principle of equality or of social justice enter the problem? |
| 28901 | If it is monopoly, do you defend monopoly, or only monopoly in some special cases? |
| 28901 | If not, how many votes should Mr. Gladstone possess to give him his just influence? |
| 28901 | If the monarchical theory which Charles represented was sound, and Charles was also a wise and good man, what caused the rebellion? |
| 28901 | If you remove the rewards accessible to the virtuous and peaceful, how are you to keep the penalties which restrain the vicious and improvident? |
| 28901 | In what sense, then, can co- operation ever be regarded as really opposed to competition? |
| 28901 | Is he even capable of the imaginative effort necessary to set before him the vast interests often affected? |
| 28901 | Is he superficially acquainted with any of the relevant facts? |
| 28901 | Is it better that it should contain a million red men or sixty millions of civilised whites? |
| 28901 | Is it desirable that it should be otherwise? |
| 28901 | Is it fair to call a wolf ruthless because he eats a sheep and fails to consider the transaction from the sheep''s point of view? |
| 28901 | Is it more than a name for a science which may or may not some day come into existence? |
| 28901 | Is it possible to contrive so to fuse the crude with the refined as to make at least a working compromise? |
| 28901 | Is it properly to be described as a development or improvement of the"cosmic process,"or as the beginning of a prolonged contest against it? |
| 28901 | Is it therefore impossible to consider the industrial organisation separately? |
| 28901 | Is it, as Mill says, monopoly, or is any third choice possible? |
| 28901 | Is this, then, a reversal of the old state of things-- a combating of a"cosmic process"? |
| 28901 | It is always, therefore, a relevant question, what is the suggested alternative? |
| 28901 | It is the question, what is the cause of certain evils? |
| 28901 | It reflects and gives sensuous images of truth; but it is only the Philistine or the blockhead who can seriously ask, is it true? |
| 28901 | May not the bad effect be a necessary part of the system to which we also owe the good; or necessary under some conditions? |
| 28901 | Might we not be certain that they would vanish of themselves? |
| 28901 | Must not the system have been wrong, when it had so lost all moral weight as to be at the mercy of a ruffianly plunderer? |
| 28901 | Nay, can we not even co- operate, and put these hopeless controversies aside? |
| 28901 | Now, I ask, what is the difference which takes place when the monkey gradually loses his tail and sets up a superior brain? |
| 28901 | Now, is this true of economic science? |
| 28901 | Now, suppose that the good Samaritan had himself fallen among thieves, what would have been his duty? |
| 28901 | Or does not the principle of equality still remain as essentially implied in the Utopia which we all desire to construct? |
| 28901 | Should a man who has been so good as to become rich, be blessed even to the third and fourth generation? |
| 28901 | Should people be appointed by interest? |
| 28901 | Should we then infer from such criticisms that the doctrine of Malthus was false, or was of no importance? |
| 28901 | Should we wish, for example, that America could still be a hunting- ground for savages? |
| 28901 | Since we ourselves have made, or at any rate constitute, the mechanism, why should it be so puzzling to find out what it is? |
| 28901 | Suppose, as is likely enough, that Lazarus is as good a man as Midas, ought they not to change places, or to share their property equally? |
| 28901 | That is the cause, but is it a reason? |
| 28901 | That suggests my question: If competition is bad, what is good? |
| 28901 | The obvious reply is, that he really means, What are we to do with our fools? |
| 28901 | The question, What is good? |
| 28901 | The respectable citizen asks, What are we to do with our boys? |
| 28901 | Then upon whom does the disgrace fall? |
| 28901 | Then, you may proceed, is it not idle to attempt to introduce a scientific method? |
| 28901 | There is, shall we say, no science of sociology-- merely a heap of vague, empirical observations, too flimsy to be useful in strict logical inference? |
| 28901 | Was he selfish even in taking something for himself, as the only prop of his family? |
| 28901 | Was he selfish? |
| 28901 | Was it from personal ambition or pure patriotism? |
| 28901 | Was not the Jew a man of sense? |
| 28901 | We are engaged in working out a gigantic problem: What is the best, in the sense of the most efficient, type of human being? |
| 28901 | What are the chances that a majority of people, of whom not one in a hundred has any qualifications for judging, will give a right judgment? |
| 28901 | What do we assume, and how do we reason? |
| 28901 | What do we mean by investigating facts? |
| 28901 | What is meant by adding or subtracting in this connection? |
| 28901 | What is science? |
| 28901 | What is the alternative to competition? |
| 28901 | What is the best combination of brains and stomach? |
| 28901 | What other rule can be suggested? |
| 28901 | What remains? |
| 28901 | What, I ask, is the alternative? |
| 28901 | What, for example, is the just method of distributing taxation? |
| 28901 | What, let us ask, is the true relation between justice and equality? |
| 28901 | What, then, is to come in its place? |
| 28901 | What, we must therefore ask, is the tacit implication as well as what is the immediate purpose of a change? |
| 28901 | When the rich man could only answer the question,"What have you done to justify your position?" |
| 28901 | Why not agree to differ about the questions which no one denies to be all but insoluble, and become allies in promoting morality? |
| 28901 | Why should he also have the father''s fortune, without earning it? |
| 28901 | Why should there not be parts of the world in which races of inferior intelligence or energy should hold their own? |
| 28901 | Why should we fear the attempt to instil these fragments of decayed formulæ into the minds of children of tender age? |
| 28901 | Why should we not say,"To each man according to his deserts"? |
| 28901 | Why, as a matter of pure justice, should not all fortunes be applied to public uses, on the death of the man who made them? |
| 28901 | Why, is the obvious answer, did you allow the explosive materials to accumulate, till the first match must fire the train? |
| 28901 | Why, then, should we, who can not believe in the dogmas, yet fall into line with believers for practical purposes? |
| 28901 | Will not a society be the better off, in which every man is set to work upon the tasks for which he is most fitted? |
| 28901 | Will the whole nation consist in larger proportions of active and responsible workers, or of people who are simply burdens upon the real workers? |
| 28901 | Would we sentence three- quarters of the nation to remain stupid, in order that the fools in the remaining quarter may have a better chance? |
| 28901 | Yet, why are we to take for granted the equality of men in the sense required for such deductions? |
| 28901 | that other millions all over the world are engaged in providing for their wants? |
| 36957 | Who,he asks,"shall arbitrate?" |
| 36957 | Am I to go on raising the tariff till murder becomes altogether obsolete? |
| 36957 | Am I to tell our modern Scheherazades to forget the_ Arabian Nights_, and adopt for our use passages from the homilies of Tillotson? |
| 36957 | And he replies,"Meat, fire, and clothes-- what more? |
| 36957 | And what determines the constitution with which the child is born? |
| 36957 | And why? |
| 36957 | Are we, then, entitled to argue from the great works an organic superiority in the race? |
| 36957 | But granting this very obvious remark, what harm does"heredity"do us? |
| 36957 | But in any case, how can a theory about facts make the facts themselves vanish? |
| 36957 | But is any such dilemma really offered to us? |
| 36957 | But is it for our happiness to increase them? |
| 36957 | But is it not bad, in so far as it is selfish? |
| 36957 | But then, we say, are not all our actions dependent upon our physical constitution? |
| 36957 | But was not even the noble savage better than the pauper who now hangs on to the fringes of society? |
| 36957 | But what if I had not done it? |
| 36957 | But what is precisely the truth expressed? |
| 36957 | But what is the real cause of the loss of belief? |
| 36957 | But what would be the good of writing even a_ Hamlet_ or a_ Divine Comedy_ if nobody was to read it? |
| 36957 | But would the game be worth the candle? |
| 36957 | But, now, what is the error of the"naturalist"? |
| 36957 | Conversely, if we elect to be sceptics in theology, how can we escape from scepticism in science? |
| 36957 | Do not the desires which have been the mainspring of all modern development imply a desire of each man to get rich at the expense of others? |
| 36957 | Do those facts give me a right to complain if I am taxed equally with my neighbours? |
| 36957 | Do we give them a wholesome training, provide them with sound knowledge, and stimulate them to real thought? |
| 36957 | Do we not love Charles Lamb for a similar reason? |
| 36957 | Does he believe in God or really in a man like himself, and respected precisely because he is like himself? |
| 36957 | Does not the existence of a currency affect mankind; and if we could not count, could we make use of it? |
| 36957 | Does our principle hold when we suppose a man to have the necessary sensibilities for the actual enjoyment of wealth? |
| 36957 | Does the Eastern theory about the_ filioque_ explain it? |
| 36957 | Does the philosophical revolution underlie the political or religious revolution, or is that to invert cause and effect? |
| 36957 | Does, then, the occurrence of a group of great men at a certain period prove a superior organisation in the race? |
| 36957 | First of all, I should ask, what precisely is meant by"the Greeks"? |
| 36957 | First, what are the admitted facts? |
| 36957 | Has any human being ever doubted, since mothers were invented, that children are apt to resemble their parents? |
| 36957 | Has it died out, or has it been swamped by other races? |

| 36957 | How, then, about the Empire of the East? |
| 36957 | How, then, can it be inferred that the Greeks perished because of defective altruism? |

| 36957 | If I could prevent a murder, or, indeed, achieve any other desirable object, for a given sum, why should I throw away another penny? |
| 36957 | If a man develops homicidal mania, may not a murderer of the average type excuse himself upon the same ground? |

| 36957 | Is it not equally reasonable to say that the promise was itself a blessing? |
| 36957 | Is it the logical argument that is effective? |

| 36957 | Is there no difference between him and the maniac; or, rather, what is the nature of the difference which we clearly recognise in practice? |
| 36957 | Keeping still to the purely hedonistic point of view, I ask, At what point does expenditure become luxurious in a culpable sense? |

| 36957 | Shall we, with Schopenhauer, pronounce Hegel to be a thorough impostor? |

| 36957 | The Jews have enormous merits and great intellectual endowments; but can anybody say that they were altruistic in the sense of being cosmopolitan? |

| 36957 | The problem, are we automatic? |
| 36957 | The question arises, therefore, how far am I to go? |

| 36957 | and the validity of the inference, is morality meaningless? |
| 36957 | and then, what material conditions can enable us to follow that career? |
