THE tragedy in Florida, arising
from something miscalled
/ disappointed love, is one
more proof that false ideals are re-
sponsibIe for a great deal IF crime
in this world. There Is, Of course,
little doubt that the young man
who murdered young girl and her
whole family, and then committed
suicide, because the girls affections
were denied him, was temporarily
insane. His insanity. while the out
growth of an unbalanced nature, IS
quite likely TO have been due in part
to wrong habit of thought, which
might have been prevented ny a ju-
dicious course of ridicule and com
mon sense
There are little cIiques and classes
of young people here and there in
this country, in which an entirely
erroneous idea of the nature and
Importance Of mere feeling obtains
Among these misguided boys and
girls it is not uncommon to hear
the remark that so and 20 would kin

less earnest, are also not upcom-

OF thought for some time, a period

man than to the poor man in the multi
plying of trusts Ultimately, when the
artificial bonds which unite these vast
interests begin to snap beneath the
pressure CT their own weight, it viii De
the working man who viii reap the
widest benefits
The real peril to our American life
today lies not in the accumulation Of
wealth, but in the failure Of wealth to
fulfill its obligations to the common
people. 1t is the Indifference OF the
average man of wealth toward his re-
sponsibility IS a good citizen, not mere
Iy casting his vote, but, II need be, Civ
ing his time TO the interests Of public
life, that Is opening the doors to those
malign forces which are making our
cities hotbeds OF rampant vice
The great menace to American life to-
day springs not from the fermenting
corruption of communism OF anarchy,
but from the torpid indifference Of
selfish responsibility. The great causes
of God and humanity are not defeated
by the hot assaults Of the devil, but by
the SLOW, crushing. glacier-Iike mass Of
Indifferent selfshness-
Gods causes are never destroyed By
being blown up, but by being sat upoa-
It is this apathetic temper that is the
real citadel Of peril. which every reform
movement must il the last event cap
ture to attain permanent victory. L is
the inert citizenship IN our great cities
today, settled down 10 comfort and
seIfshness, but blind to the larger in
terests of public life, caIlous TO the Bit
ter cry of the poor. Indifferent to the
struggle for existence OF the working
people, that is the real problem Of IA
ticDaI life.
How are you to awake 10 practical
and inE3----ig sense of public duty the
sleepy nlC.@ludes who by every selfish
act of life subscribe 20 the creed Of
don't care?' In that temper Of ex-
aggerated individuaIism on the part Of
the well-to-do I find the real peril in

PRESIDENT ELIOT ON BOOKS.

FALSE DEALS

Things are likely 10 come up in
married life which require a good
deal more Judgment, self-control,
and patience than 4 broken engage
ment, and the woman who does not
possess these qualities can do infin-
iteIy more harm as the mother Of
children than she can do if she re-
mains single. \ great deal of ro-
nance has been unnecessarily spun
around the torments of people who
wanted only one thing in the world,
and could not get that thing It is
about time to reflect on the ques-
ton whether the sympathy they get
is not due sometimes rather TO the
fuss they make than to their real
suffering.

There is more peril to the rich
man than to the poor man in the
multiplying of trusts"

o ONE who loves this great Re
n public and believes in its mani
fest destiny among the nations
Of the world can be a pessimist
either in regard to its present or its fu-
ture
On the other hand, no one who stud
les, however specifically. the economic
movements Of the hour, can be blind TO
certain elements of peril in the social
fabric. which, II unchecked, viii men
ace the prosperity of the people as a
whole.
Just what is the root cause of these
dangers it is not so easy to say. = good
deal depends on ones point Of view
Moreover. it is easy to mistake symp-
toms for causes and to exaggerate tenn
porary phases into permanent tenden-
cies-
For example. one hears a good deal
about the peril Of unrestricted iulmligFa-
ton. There doubtless are real evils 10

migration can in any sense threaten

aggeration-
One OF the most striking illustrations
Of the viriIity Of cur national life is
its quickness Of assimilation, so that
the foreigner Of today becomes the en-
thusiastic patriot Of tomorrow. The
second generation is the real solution
OF the immigration problem every time
On the other hand, a good deal of
needless alarm is stirred up by the vast
accumulation OF wealth in the hands OF
comparative few Were that likely
to be a permanent condition. carrying
with it a corresponding impoveTishment
OF the poor, one might well question its
results in the future
Personally, I believe these mammoth
combinations in trade are only tempo
rary phase in that larger distribution
Of wealth which a more radical adjust
