PERM OF THE IDLE RICH.

( A week ago Orlando P. Dexter.
wealthy New Yorker was assassinated
near his home in the Adirondacks. He
was shot from behind as he was driv-
ing along the road in a buggy. Since
that time there has been discovered
nothing to indicate who the murderer
was, Notwithstanding extraordinary eff
forts to clear the mystery have been
made. Henry Dexter. the aged, mill
lionaire father of the murdered man,
draws an unusual lesson from the
crime. 1t is that the idle rich are not
safe in this country: that there is
a strong class hatred against them,
and that their danger is continually
increasing. They have killed my son."
lie said, because the ignorant natives
regard the newcomers of wealth who
have bought UP the lands as inter-
lopers and tyrants, as men who are
Indignantly arrayed against the guides
and woodsmen."
Respect for property rights must be
insisted upon. or the fabric of society
totters and falls. But is it to be greatly
wondered at that there is a strong feel
ing against some of the very wealthy
such as Mr.. Dexter notes? In the
Adirondacks, on Long Island and else
where about New York--in other Sec
tions of the country, too, for that mat
ter--men of immense wealth have
bought great forests and fenced them
off for thair own rIaa sura Ono IF
the Rockefellers, for instance, has d
preserve of tens of thousands of acres
or virgin forest around which he has
built wire fence. In this preserve
no stranger or unauthorized person
may set foot, under penalty of the law
1t is Mr.. Rockefeller's property of
course, and he has a right to do with
it as he peases. But among the woods
men there is a strong feeling that Mr.
Rockefeller has no moral right to de-
prive the people of their forest privi-
leges; that wild life should be common
property, and that one man should
not be permitted TO monopolize so
vast an area of land, TO the exclusion
of all other persons. Again, there are
rich persons who bear themselves in
so arrogant and inconsiderate manner
that they arouse the resentment or
hatred of those who are called the plain
people.
The correct use OF wealth is great
problem, which few wealthy men sue
coed in solving. One phase of the
problem is touched on by Mr.. Dexter
when he asserts that the idle rich are
in danger Of their lives every day
from those who imagine they suffer
a grievance at their hands.

son, his decisions will always be in
the lire of gentleness and considerable
ness, and he will never once demand
acquiescence in his views because his
wife promised al the altar TO obey.
It may be said, by the way, that
there are many households that would
be made brighter and more cheerful
by a greater degree Of obedience TO
the will and wishes of the husbands.
Without exception every husband de-
sires his house to be a home In the
best sense Of the word. which it can
not be Il the wife devotes herself TO
clubs and speech-making and an end
less chain OF social functions and the
reformation Of politics and society gen
orally. But there are husbands who,
out OF affection for their wives or
because they lack the tact to compel
obedience without forcing it, see their
homes become merely shelter-places
against the weather while their wives
waste their time in impossible tasks
Of so-called reformation and imagine
they are strong minded women of a
civilization in advance Of the period.

AS story after story appears of some
locomotive engineer who declined TO be
deceived by the fictitious danger sig
nal OF train robbers. we are the better
prepared for that which will finally
come Of the engineer who was mis-
taken in believing that a real danger
signal was a ruse. 1t must be as sweet
as nectar 10 hero Of the throttle to
be lsuded for his perspicacity and
boldness in pulling her wide open"
and sending her speeding by gang
of foiled train robbers. Not only the
newspapers. but probably his superin-
tendent has something nice to say
about such an achievement. a desire
TO emulate engineers who have not yet
made the mistake Of supposing a false
danger signal true will be but natural
to others of the craft. If the thing
goes on it viii soon be for general
managers TO say whether they prefer
wrecks or hold-ups.

1t requires some such blood curdling
crime as that committed by the dyna-

two men to secure $500. to prove that
men will commit any crime for money.
Such an outrage proves that no man

amount, for that matter, is largely a

There has recently been exploited

name of "kapok,' which is much light

only five times its weight. This sub
