THE BRIDGEPORT TELEGRAM, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1923. THREE Thinking Men And Women Predict Problems Of World Century Hence 3n these piping days of peace, when the face of the world changes as unceasingly as the view from a fast train, to old dizziness the eyes must occasionally be'directed to that far horizon which moveg only slightly--the And speculation, now and then, as to what lies beyond that horizon is also helpful in warding off a feeling- of bewilderment. Hence this symposium. "A hundred" Years From Now-What? was the main question ask- by the New York World of th course, that a man who is strivins 1th might and main to keep things a thoy are, or at least to keep them from becoming too different, should find himself staring: at a blank wa'l when attempts to see. a hundred years ahsad.

The principle of democrccv being eternal, they will necessarily exist a hunderd years from now, and the achievements of government, through the application of '-host principles to changing conditions, will logically be'greate than they have been in the last 100 years. That there will be two polltica parties then, as now seems almost inevitable, it prcgres is to continue It is scarcalv conceivable that human nature can change in one century sufficiently for all to think alike. In such an event there would also be danger of inertia--ana in ertia would mark the beginning decadence. Democratic-government means a greater diffusion ot powor, less res triction of the individual ana there fore less regulation by laws.

He saw electricity as the. controlling element --everything, so it seemed, was accomplished by the press of a button.

But we too, have Just suppose, for instance, there were no electric lights, electric or transporta'ion. You can easily imagine many backward we'd stand.
