Amory
looked
from
the
small
man
to
the
big
man
helplessly
.
"
Listen
to
that
!
That
's
what
makes
me
discouraged
with
progress
.
Listen
to
that
!
I
can
name
offhand
over
one
hundred
natural
phenomena
that
have
been
changed
by
the
will
of
man
--
a
hundred
instincts
in
man
that
have
been
wiped
out
or
are
now
held
in
check
by
civilization
.
What
this
man
here
just
said
has
been
for
thousands
of
years
the
last
refuge
of
the
associated
mutton-heads
of
the
world
.
It
negates
the
efforts
of
every
scientist
,
statesman
,
moralist
,
reformer
,
doctor
,
and
philosopher
that
ever
gave
his
life
to
humanity
's
service
.
It
's
a
flat
impeachment
of
all
that
's
worth
while
in
human
nature
.
Every
person
over
twenty-five
years
old
who
makes
that
statement
in
cold
blood
ought
to
be
deprived
of
the
franchise
.
"
The
little
man
leaned
back
against
the
seat
,
his
face
purple
with
rage
.
Amory
continued
,
addressing
his
remarks
to
the
big
man
.
"
These
quarter-educated
,
stale-minded
men
such
as
your
friend
here
,
who
think
they
think
,
every
question
that
comes
up
,
you
'll
find
his
type
in
the
usual
ghastly
muddle
.
One
minute
it
's
'
the
brutality
and
inhumanity
of
these
Prussians
'
--
the
next
it
's
'
we
ought
to
exterminate
the
whole
German
people
.
'
They
always
believe
that
'
things
are
in
a
bad
way
now
,
'
but
they
'
have
n't
any
faith
in
these
idealists
.
'
One
minute
they
call
Wilson
'
just
a
dreamer
,
not
practical
'
--
a
year
later
they
rail
at
him
for
making
his
dreams
realities
.
They
have
n't
clear
logical
ideas
on
one
single
subject
except
a
sturdy
,
stolid
opposition
to
all
change
.
They
do
n't
think
uneducated
people
should
be
highly
paid
,
but
they
wo
n't
see
that
if
they
do
n't
pay
the
uneducated
people
their
children
are
going
to
be
uneducated
too
,
and
we
're
going
round
and
round
in
a
circle
.
That
--
is
the
great
middle
class
!
"
The
big
man
with
a
broad
grin
on
his
face
leaned
over
and
smiled
at
the
little
man
.
"
You
're
catching
it
pretty
heavy
,
Garvin
;
how
do
you
feel
?
"
The
little
man
made
an
attempt
to
smile
and
act
as
if
the
whole
matter
were
so
ridiculous
as
to
be
beneath
notice
.
But
Amory
was
not
through
.
"
The
theory
that
people
are
fit
to
govern
themselves
rests
on
this
man
.
If
he
can
be
educated
to
think
clearly
,
concisely
,
and
logically
,
freed
of
his
habit
of
taking
refuge
in
platitudes
and
prejudices
and
sentimentalisms
,
then
I
'm
a
militant
Socialist
.
If
he
ca
n't
,
then
I
do
n't
think
it
matters
much
what
happens
to
man
or
his
systems
,
now
or
hereafter
.
"
"
I
am
both
interested
and
amused
,
"
said
the
big
man
.
"
You
are
very
young
.
