Then arises the third and inexorable question: _If Civilisation has increased the producing power of the average man, why has it not bettered the lot of the average man_?
There can be one answer only--MISMANAGEMENT.

Civilisation has made possible all manner of creature comforts and heart's delights.

In these the average Englishman does not participate.

If he shall be forever unable to participate, then Civilisation falls.

There is no reason for the continued existence of an artifice so avowed a failure.
