LUXURY.
END IT AND YOU END PROGRESS.
Day after day, says a writer in a Home paper, one reads in the papers the fulminations of ardent Socialists against the “luxuries" of the well-to-de, But, having closely studied a consider able number of these diatribes, I have come to the conclusion, that the deliai- tion of the word luxas may be made to include almost anything. In short, it in cludes everything that one can't "ntur. "It is a relative term, and if the Social ists were logical they ought to assert that everything save the bare means of existe ence is a luxury. No doubt it is in a sense, but I venture to think that the levelling-down process which would result fren the elimination of luxury would end by doing away with all progress.
For what is a luxury to one generation is hlmost a necessity to the next, and the general comfort and convenience of life only advance from age to age because of the initiative and invention called into being by the watts of the richer classes.
