MoralSociety itself at war with the individual, are really nothing more nor less than examples of the unfortunate results of moral overstrain. One man has placed too great a burden on the moral strength of another, and there has been a break or a total collapse. And when that collapse comes, note the difference in the proced ure which follows. When the building wall cracks, or at the first observable indication of insecurity of foundation, the builder's first thought is to preserve the building, to relieve the strain on the weak spot, to strengthen its supports, and to reinforce its foundation. There has been no corresponding practice yet de vised which may be followed when the moral crash comes and a business man's character goes to pieces, or when a thief or murderer is brought to the bar ofcrim inal justice. There is no jacking-up process for overstrained morals to be found in the law courts.
