There Ia a disposition In many quar-.
ters to ridiculc the political ambitious
Of young men Of wealth and social ID.
sition who aspire to public office. and
the rldicule but thinly wells the serious
and Oftentlmes bitter opposition Ell.
cOuntered by candidates of this class.
The early poverty Of American pho.
nccrs and the fact that the majority
Of Americas great public men came
from humble walks Of life are respon.
sible In large measure for deep-scat.
ed prejudice against the rich man in
politics. In the case Of the youthful
rich man Of inherited wealth this
prejudice IL intensified by a general
but erroneous belief that the children
Of the rich IRE raised In comparative
ldleness and are ignorant Of practical
affairs. Such belief applies with
much greater truth to the sons OF
great men than to the sons Of ricl,
men, but even In the case Of the for.
lner the public Is apt to mistake the
notable exceptions for the general rule.
A large per cent Of the elderly rich
men Of the present day are so.called
self-made men. which term may be
libelnlly defined as men with common
school educations who by the exercise
Of natural ability, strength OF chnruc-
ter and trcmndOus industry. Otter hid
cd by wide opportunity. have become
successful In financial, commercial and
Industrial pursuits. There have been
few such men who did not regret the
lack of educa tiOnal advantages In their
youth and hence the majority were
inspired to confer every educat ional
benefit possible upon their children,
1t was Inevitable that such practical
men should not neglect the practical
training of their children, although the
nature and amount of such training
necessarily was regulated by the re-
ceptive faculties OF the pupil. Despite
the glaring but sporadic instances of
,legeneracy In the youthful rich, II
may be truthfully stated as Il general
proposition that the unlimited advni.
tages they have possessed to lumhf!
for the real duties of life have not been
neglected and the result Is Il very de
sirable type of young men as Il class
