If the unemployed rich and the I'M
employed poor would only unite and
form a trust, what wonderful results
for good would follow. Mr. Gladstone
is quoted as saying: 1.-The laborer has
his legitimate. his necessary, his hon
orable and honored place in Gods Gre
alton; but in all Gods creation there is
no place appointed for the idle wealthy
man" OF all nationalities 1t is hardest
for the American to be Idle. His active
brain and his native energy force him
to activity, and while the wealthy class
of Europeans have learned how to en-
joy life of pleasure without ennui. the
American has not yet acquired this art.
From sheer mental restlessness he goes
on heaping up riches never asking who
shall gather them. To be sure. there
are scores of exceptions to this rule. as
the most costly and complete universe
ties, schools, colleges, hospitals. libra
ries and art museums of this country
amply bear witness; yet In many cases
even these generous Demons still have
a surplus greater than they or their
heirs can ever use. What is wealth. A
few hundreds of thousands can supply
every human desire for comfort and

The people have small sympathy

their self-possession and run. To send

the life of a valuable citizen. Even II
none but rogues run away, however ii
is not for the policeman to put life in
peril by the use of his revolver. The
only circumstances where its use is
justified are those where the police.
mans own life or that of another is in
immediate peril from a ruff1an whose
arrest Is sought. The peril must not
be merely fancied or constructive, but
actual and deadly. Otherwise the Off

citizen for any loss of life which may
follow the use of his weapon. The

home to the understanding OF police
men everywhere the better it will be.
