The Republicans who believe that MIR.

Britain have not given up hope that he will
allow tho Republican organization Of the State

that tho ONCE OF Secretary Of State WAS offered

business and professional training have en-.

There Is no chasm. More harm may be done by

jut W,1tS CERTAIN hat ali "a. sood people of

were said concerning the chasm between tho

tie occasion as possible for drawing the lines

Tho Rev. DR.: Robert 8. Macarthur of Cal
said: Glass feeling. which always exists has

Many good phiianthropic causes are suffering
for the lack OF money. And within q stones
throw of actual want occur lavish and vulgar
displays OF wealth for the selfish qualification
OF It's own least desirable mbition. In older
countries, rich men aud their sons have u
greater sense OF their obligations to their CON-
munity. age. and social position: but in Amer
lea the ambition OF young men inhcritng
wealth would seem often TO be to expend wick
edly what their fathers have foolishly boarded.
The idle rich form an anarohistic class. Their
selhshness prevents the doubt beneht OF pub blio
benefAction and private charity. Tho present
tendency must be checked"
The Rev. David q. wylie of the Scotch Pres
byterisn Church. Ninsty NTH street and Gen.
trNl Park West said: Modern displays OF
wealth at social functions are In bad taste and
have bad Influence. They naturally engender
envy on tho part of the poor. no are in q bad
condition In this city, More observance OF tho
Golden Rule would better tho condition: and
there Is u temptation to carry to tho ballot the
question how TO make the rich bear their
true share of public burdens, or how to limit
their power OF amaesing woalth."
The Rev. John II. Shaw OF the West End Pres
byterian Church West 105tb street. said: The
display OF wealth In any manner 30 as TO cause
envy. il contrary to the teaching OF Christ. Hy
was beneficiary Hs we'll as q benefactor, and
His example is not followed"
Bishop Henry c. Potter is not prepared to dis
cuss tn subject.
Rabbi II. =. Mendes OF tho Scotch and Portu-
guese congregation considers great displays Of
wealth In social functions only TO be palliated
by equal IL not greater charities.
