BADGES AND COSTUMES. 197 



the less militant countries to fall into disuse, save during 

 times for performing official functions; and in England 

 this change, more marked than elsewhere, has gone to the 

 extent of leading even military and naval officers to assume 

 &quot; mufti &quot; when off duty. 



Most striking, however, is the evidence yielded by tlie 

 general contrast between the controlling part of each so 

 ciety and the controlled part. The facts that those who 

 form the regulative organization, which is originated by 

 militancy, are distinguished from those who form the or 

 ganization regulated, which is of industrial origin, by the 

 prevalence among them of visible signs of rank; and that 

 the militant part of this regulative organization is more 

 than the rest characterized by the conspicuousness, multi 

 plicity, and defmiteness, of those costumes and badges 

 which distinguish both its numerous divisions and the nu 

 merous ranks in each division ; are facts unmistakably sup 

 porting the inference that militancy has generated all these 

 marks of superiority and inferiority.
