This page is primarily **advertising and magazine promotion**, not political satire. It contains: **Main Content:** - A continuation of "The Literary Zoo," an essay by Alexander Harvey critiquing modernist intellectualism. Harvey argues ironically that God created unintelligent people (referencing Shakespeare's "ass" loved by Titania) as justly as He created Harvard professors, so society shouldn't privilege the intelligent in spiritual matters. **Advertisements:** - Cuba tourism promotion - P.B. Lager beer - Pooley Company (decorators/furnishers) **Magazine Promotion:** - Ainslee's Magazine announces its December issue, listing serialized fiction conclusions and Christmas stories by popular authors (William J. Locke, Anthony Partridge, etc.) **Historical Context for Modern Readers:** The essay reflects early 20th-century debates about modernism and religious authority. The satirical point: intellectuals shouldn't claim spiritual superiority since intelligence is unevenly distributed. This targets Progressive-era confidence in rational expertise applied to all domains, including religion.

One should never, De Quin- cey affirms in effect, trust the intelli- gence unsupported by other authority. I have very little faith in my own in- telligence and Socrates, I believe, had very little faith in his. Intelligence, like wealth, is very inequitably dis- tributed and those who need it most are often the very individuals who have it least. That is why the world groans under a tyranny of the intelli- gent. As if this were not a sufficient aggravation, the modernists urge that our relations with the Deity be placed upon a basis of intelligence. That would transfer to the spiritual sphere the superiority of the intelligent in things earthly, and prove thus a denial of the justice of God. For He created the ass whom Titania loved as truly as He created the professor of psy- chology at Harvard. It is difficult to reconcile with any idea of justice the modernist contention that in gaining knowledge of God or access to Him certain advantages should accrue to the intelligent—a minority of the td human species!
