John D. Rockefeller, the richest man in the world, made $8, 330, 900 last Fri day by the advance in Standard Oil iquidatlng certificates. It is time to doubt "the eternal fitness of things" when one man can make that amount of money in one day. That sum repre- sents larger amount than eight mil lions of average day laborers can earn in one day. And then think of the fam lilies those eight millions of laborers must feed and clothe and educate. No wonder there is unrest among the laboring classes, and that anarchists, socialists and communists occasionally make demonstration! We are not ad- vocating anarchy, socialism and com munism-they are all wrong-but there is also something else wrong when one man can make millions of dollars in one day while millions of his fellow mortals cannot earn enough to keep soul and body together. What blessed thing it is that the rich cannot take thsir money with them when they are sum- moned to the other world, otherwise this world would soon be a mighty poor one.to live in. The bright side of the picture is the fact that colossal fortunes are usually scattered to the four winds in the course of three or four genera tions. nevertheless poor man must be . philosopher in order to be content with his lot while the rich are piling up surplus millions of dollars which they do not need.
