What of the Individual?

By Editor

Among the weighty articles worthy of consideration by all classes, in the North American Review for October, is one entitled "What of the Individual?" by Samuel P. Orth, a well-known lawyer. Mr. Orth contrasts fifteen years ago with to-day, and the tremendous advance of Socialism and socialistic ideas since that time. The individual is compared with the group, the horde, the mass. And he asks regarding all these tremendous tendencies toward placing the power in the hands of the mass: "Where does the individual come in? Is he to be obliterated?" These are questions which are worthy of the thought and consideration of every soul. We have not time to consider them here, but will do so at an early date.
