The strife to make money. which is
so marked a feature of the life of this
generation, marks both a peril and an
opportunity, thinks the Christian Reg
lister. Once men were content to make
q living, because a living was all they
could expect to make. Now they are
eager to make money. because for the
first time In the history of the world
1t Is possible for all classes to have
at least a chance to make money be-
yond the needs of what is called a live
lihood. Now. In making money. n
Is apt to forget the uses of money:
and the peril that besets us Is not to
be despised. Greed. ~selfshness. lux
ury, sloth. gluttony, intemperance. op-
preston, cruelty. and all manner of
sins and vices gather themselves
about money-making in its a
forms. But we must not forget that
commerce. commercialism, and money
making mean for q vast multitude of
people emancipation from a drudgery
which had no relief. Rightly direct
ed, the money-getter becomes a bene-
factor. He has the means to get and
to enjoy the rear things in the beau
ties of nature. in art. and in social
life; and he has the means of multi
plying opportunities for others.

cumulated on the business interests
and started the dry bones of the fos-

Caldwell started the development
OF the up-to-date business houses of
Canton and the benefits that accrue to
such enterprise have made him q great
business.
"In these days when Canton has be-

The decision of judge of the SUI

the wages of married woman are
payable to her husband, will revive the
question which most people in this
country considered settled as to
whether, after all, women are persons,
and whether they have anything they
dare to claim as their own. Are they
free or are they chattles? If the de-
cision of the New York judge is in

can be more fifty classed as common

forced to leave the province and were
fully demoralized. The French au-

April 10, in which case they must
have subsequently returned.

LII Hung Chang paid return calls to
