1t is bad bluhSer for rich men to try
to shirk their civic duties. 1t creates
prejudice against them. 1t is a matter of
serious care to them whether or not
the law is upheld. Without law their
vast property interests would be worth
nothing. If for no higher and nobler
reason it is clearly in the material in
terest of the rich that law and order shall
prevail and it is therefore in their in
terest to discharge their civic duties with
faithfulness and with willingness and to
respond cheerfully to the demands of the
state authorities and help them all they
can to enforce the law.

Foreigners who visit this country
often express a great deal of surprise
at what seems to them as excessive use
of ice by Americans. American visitors
abroad, in turn, are frequently annoyed
at being unable to obtain ice, and Won
der how Europeans got along without it.
The difference is not altogether one OF
luxury. Habit is said to have much to dc
with it. Moreover, the range of tempera-
ture is smaller in Europe than in this
country. The summers are cooler and
the winters warmer. Ice is not so much
needed, and Jack Frost is not so gener-
Gus in providing it.

The keynote of all the addresses that
were made some time ago at college
commandments and at the meetings of
business mems associations has been
the development of character. 1t is re-
markable how this word character
runs through all the recent speeches and
papers. 1t is as if, by common impulse,
our intellectual leaders had stopped talk
ing about this or that economic problem,
this or that political issue, and this or
that means of attaining success in life,
and had returned to the development of
character as the one solution of all ma
ton problems.
