¢º CIVILIZATION. The question "Does civilization civilize?" is a fine example of petitio principii, and decides itself in the affirmative; for civilization must needs do that from the doing of which it has its name. But it is not necessary to suppose that he who propounds is either unconscious of his lapse in logic or desirous of digging a pitfall for the feet of those who discuss; I take it he simply wishes to put the matter in an impressive way, and relies upon a certain degree of intelligence in the interpretation. ¢¹ ¹®¸í(CIVILIZATION).

¢º THE DEATH PENALTY. "Down with the gallows!" is a cry not unfamiliar in America. There is always a movement afoot to make odious the just principle; of "a life for a life"?to represent it as "a relic of barbarism," "a usurpation of the divine authority," and the rest of it. The law making murder punishable by death is as purely a measure of self-defense as is the display of a pistol to one diligently endeavoring to kill without provocation. It is in precisely the same sense an admonition, a warning to abstain from crime. ¢¹ »çÇüÁ¦µµ(THE DEATH PENALTY). "±³¼ö´ë¸¦ ¹«³Ê¶ß·Á¶ó!" ¹Ì±¹¿¡¼´Â ³¸¼³Áö ¾ÊÀº ¿ÜħÀÔ´Ï´Ù.

¢º IMMORTALITY. The desire for life everlasting has commonly been affirmed to be universal?at least that is the view taken by those unacquainted with Oriental faiths and with Oriental character. Those of us whose knowledge is a trifle wider are not prepared to say that the desire is universal nor even general. If the devout Buddhist, for example, wishes to "live always," he has not succeeded in very clearly formulating the desire. The sort of thing that he is pleased to hope for is not what we should call life, and not what many of us would care for. ¢¹ ºÒ»ç(IMMORTALITY). ¿µ»ý¿¡ ´ëÇÑ ¿¸ÁÀº º¸ÆíÀûÀÎ °ÍÀ¸·Î ÀϹÝÀûÀ¸·Î È®ÀÎµÇ¾î ¿Ô½À´Ï´Ù.

¢º EMANCIPATED WOMAN. What I should like to know is, how "the enlargement of woman's sphere" by her entrance into various activities of commercial, professional and industrial life benefits the sex. It may please Helen Gougar and satisfy her sense of logical accuracy to say, as she does: "We women must work in order to fill the places left vacant by liquor-drinking men." But who filled these places before? Did they remain vacant, or were there then disappointed applicants, as now? If my memory serves, there has been no time in the period that it covers when the supply of workers?abstemious male workers?was not in excess of the demand. That it has always been so is sufficiently attested by the universally inadequate wage rate. ¢¹ ÇعæµÈ ¿©¼º(EMANCIPATED WOMAN).
