Wealth is not the synonym of happi- ness. The familiar expression ''there's 8 millions in it" does not imply there is happiness connected with whatever en- terprise said expression may describe or apply to. There's millions in it" may describe the will or the estate of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, nevertheless Mir Vanderbilts millions did not bring him happiness nor prevent his eldest son defying the parental wish and authority. In fact that son would not exchange happiness-his happiness with the wom- an of his choice flor the largest share of his fathers wealth. Thus we see that both father and son have given the strongest testimony-each in his own way, but from different point of wis. ion-that wealth is not the synonym of happiness. Because Q man is a multi millionaire it does not follow that he is . happy man. More dollars than he knows what to do with cannot make him AnRPys H uOfo uouoy oh mOto pHOp- erty than person can use could bring happiness, then the majority of people could be happy. Almost everyone has moro of something than they need-ex- cept happiness. Let us all try to be philosophers and be content with our lot. For instance, let the farmer be happy who has more grain, potatoes or apples than he knows what to do with. Let everyone be happy who has more of any one kind of property than he needs -even if he is destitute of other kinds. If he cannot thus be content, then he can comprehend what it is to be a mil ionaire and he can understand why more money, or more of anything, than he needs does not bring happiness. Does the wealth of the Klondike region bring happiness? Nol Instead of hap piness it brings untold hardships. di- sease and death. Do the gold fields and diamond mines of South Africs bring happiness? Nol Instead of happiness they bring war and destruction.

The New York Sun is not looked up. on with favor by newspaper men and printers in this country. Why? Be- cause of it's ridiculous claims and it's an. tagonism to organized labor. Its old slogan "If you see it in the Sun, it's so, T and its continual sttempt to brand it. self as the only reliable newspaper ol New York are both perfectly absurd These things are pointed out by other papers, not from political differences. The Hartford Courant-and where is there more Republican Paper9-has within the past nine months showed the Sun to be printing considerale news that wasn't so. Its reports of the do- ings of the Connecticut Legislature were glarinely incorrect; one of it's special scoops about the Phillipine war was ex- aotly opposite to the real facts. which even the yellow journals got correct. Among newspaper men the slogan goes "H you see it in the Sun, it's different. ' There was strike on the Sun e short time ago. You have all read about it.. The boycott following that strike has been pushed by union printers and has cost the Sun 160,0OO circulation and $500, 900 worth of advertising patron age, and now the Sun is fighting organ ized labor through the courts. Let the Sun put forward candidate for politi- cal preferment and lets see what the la bor vote will do to him. The actual circulation (as stated in court) that the Sun has already lost by it's fight against organized labor is 60.000 on the daily Sun. 10000 on the Evening Sun and 6O.0O0 on the Sunday Sun. Whitelaw Reid. once of the Tribune, might tell Paul Dana thing or two about fighting organized labor.
