ly accept his society for the sake Of hi:
money, or make il plain to him that money
got by dishonest and unjust methods is OF
no account TO them. The very fact that sc
many capitalists give large sums to schools
colleges. hospitals. churches, and clubs
! proves that they are anxious for the ap-
probation Of their fellow-men. What Is
| the use OF money if il cannot buy popu-
larity, social advancement, prominence in
the community? And the lamentable fact
remains that in most cases it can.
Public opinion, then, does reach the
capitalist, at least in some cases. To
some men the sense of power is all in all /,
their business is their life; II is rather ex-
! hiiarating than otherwise to know tina.
! they carry out their wishes in spite OF the
! enmity Of thousands of other men. Such
| individuals are not common. however, and
the average capitalist though he may be
called an octopus and various other names
by his opponents, is in reality quite hu-
man. Sometimes he desires wealth that
he may give his family position, and some
times he wants it for himself, but gener-
ally speaking. he wants social recognition.
and if he does not get it, the purpose OF
his life is frustrated.
If. Therefore the patrons-an and patron
esses-of hospitals and other charitable in
stitutions would refuse TO be bribed by
large gifts; If colleges did not put halo
around the head of every wealthy benefac-
tor; if church committees investigated the
conduct Of rich men as carefully as thes
are apt to do that of poor women, there
might be disposition on the part of the
capitalist to avoid unfair methods in the
requirement of his wealth. But the fact
is that the well-meanng and gently bred
people who are thus bribed say in effect 10
the capitalist: We do not care where
you get your money so long as you give
it TO us; We regard it as ill-bred and I'M
christian to refuse whatever gifts and ad-
vantages you are willing 10 bestow upon
us; We will even refrain from investigat-
ing your sweat shops and your tenement
house property II you will fasten us with
chains sufficiently expensive" 1t is not a
very nice attitude but this is fairly good
description of It.

THE FORECLOSURE DELAYED
baltimore City viii Not Press the
Mestern MarNlnnd ROad.

| BALTIMORE, Jan. 31.-The finance COM
missioners met today at the City Hall to
consider questions in connection with the
floating Indebtedness of the Western Mary
| land Railroad. II was decided not to con-
| slider the question of foreclosure under the
| city's mortgages for one year.
A resolution drafted by City Solicitor Car
| ter, placing the commissioners on record as
| favoring the postponement Of foreclosure
| and also recommending that il any legal
| action is taken on the mortgages, ample
| provision should be made TO protect the
| floating Indebtedness, was presented to the
| commissioners for action today, but they
| voted down the second paragraph in re-
gard to the protection of the floating in
debtedness on the ground that they had
not the power to make such a recommended
ton, which was in the nature Of a guar
antee.
The resolution as adopted expressed the
belief OF the finance commissioners that no
action looking TO the foreclosure under the
mortgages should be taken until the re-
Gently appointed city directors have time
to look fully into the affairs of the road
and prepare a report recommending what
the city should do. While no intimation
is given as TO the length of time such in
vestigation will take, the commissioners,
in the resolution. express the belief that
the postponement should be at least until
the end of the present year. The neees-
sity for passing such a resolution arose
from the fact that the holders OF the notes
given by the road were demanding their
money through he fear that the road would
be sold without giving them any protec-
ton.
The second part of the resolution was
especially desired by the railroad company
and the syndicate which is to take up the
Western Maryland debt. 1t would have
given them positive assurance that they
would be fully protected under any cir
eumstances. The passage of the resolu-
ton would have been in substance. the
guaranteeing of the floating Indebtedness,
which City Solicitor Carter told the mayor
would be illegal. Among the reasons ad-
vanced for the passage OF such resolu-
lion was that the failure to protect this
debt would undoubtedly result in the ap-
nIieation for a receiver, the loss TO the city
Of A sum of money greater than the
amount of the floating Indebtedness and
the decrease in the value OF the railroad
property. The floating Indebtedness is
about S225. 900.
