A BASELESS RUMOR DENIED
French Representatives to Railway
Congress Were Not D~ispleased.
Rather Enjoyed the Free Dis
cussiOn of the Rate Question
Taft and Fish.

Washington. May 15.-Ambassador
Jusserand of France, speaking on be-
half of French delegates to the Inter
national Railway congress, expressed
deep regret yer a m that
his countrymen were displeaSed
by the injection of a dis
cussion of the railroad rate ques-
ton in the social functions attendant
upon the congress. He has taken oc-
casion to confer with all of the dele
gates from France and has learned
that the discussion between Secretary
Taft and ~Stuyvesant Fish, president
of the Illinois Central railroad. evoked
their keen interest. They were i'm
pressed particularly by the freedom
with whiCt questions OF this charac-
ter are discussed in America. 1.-THE
delegates from France were enchant-
ed with the reception received in this
country and with everything Amer
ican," said the ambassador. That
was shown by the banquet given by
the French delegates to their Amer
lean colleagues. At that banquet NJ.
Marnejouls, former minister of public
works in France, and a personal friend
of President Loubet, voiced the un
qualified gratitude of the delegates
to the Americans. The conclusion of
his speech was:
"In order the better to show what
sign of harmony may be found in this
friendly international gathering, l
ask you to join me in the toast which
l propose to our lear and ~venerated
president, NJ. Loubet, and to the
president of the United States, who
continues so happily the traditions of
his great predecessors, and of whom
a French writer has justly said the
presence of such a man at the head
q such a people is gratifying to the
conscience of the world"

MONEY IN GREAT BRITAIN.

The income tax in Great Britain Is
levied on $500, 900, GOO of annual in
come, and produces s155, 900. 900 of
revenue for the government.
From money invested abroad alone
Great Britain's capitalists probably re-
ceive 81 1000, 900, 900 a year of income,
though no one can tell exactly.
That is only S244 a year for each
person if it were equally divided. 1t
isn't. Less than 100000 persons have
more than half the total income.
1t is probable that the total Of pri-
vate incomes, great and small, In the
United States is over SIS. 900 900, 900,
though the sum cannot be 30 closely
estimated as in the island kingdom.
If Mr.. Gibsen Bowles is right in
saying that only one-third Of the IA
tional income pays the tax, the total
of,~incomes of the united kingdom
must be $40, 500, oOo, 900. a sum almost
inconcaivably vast.

Measured bv Money.


1t Is too much the fashion in this
country of rapidly developing wealth
to measure success by a mercenary
standard, to estimate the worth and
abilities of men by the amount Of
money, they accumulate. Drawing a
contrast between the kind of men who
once attracted attention Oh the streets
of New York and those who are now
pointed out as the important person
ages, Father Ducey says: To-day
the question is: DO you see that man
across the street? Well, he is worth
$50, 000, 1000. Do you see that man be-
hind him? He is worth 500, 100000
made last week in Wall street. 1t Is
old money bags on all sides. Never
is the man of intellect, the savant, h
critic, the litterateur pointed out IN
public. The question about the law
yer, the doctor, even the clergyman OF
to-day is: What fee did he get! Law
yer So-and-So got 100000 for obtain
ing Mrs. Blacks divorce. DR.. So-and-
So got $4,000 for a vermiform ap-
pendix operation Never an allus.on
to the learning of the lawyer or the
Skill of the surgeon in the operation.
Even priests of God talk about the in
come of the parish, instead of the in
f1unce they are welding" The spirit
of materialism, remarks the Nashville
American, seems to be uppermost'
Commercialism is the altar at wren
there is too much ardent worship. Inc
developer of wealth is useful; the
mere money-getter is Of little benefit
to anybody, and is in no sense an IN
spring picture Oh a model to be iml'
tated. Recently DR.. Hadley, of Yale.
declared: There is no danger that
the country will even feel the lack OF
money-makers. What we do need TO
fear is the possibility of a C OF
p~ublic-spirited men who think not OF
themselves first. History, whatever Is
studied in school, is intended to broad
en- the mind and s%ympathies. This
spirit is growing in this country. We
want men who stand for ideals, who
make life worth living. We believe
this spirit is growing-will grow as
we grow older as a nation and as CIV
ilization advances. We are living, and
have been living, in a period of wealth
developing, of money making, OF indus
trialism and commercialism in which
have grown up colossal fortunes
through the development of the enor-
nous natural advantages of this won
derful country. In such a period OF
industrialism success is apt to be meas
ured by individual wealth or earning
CAPACITY. But we shall come more
and more to understand and appreciate
the true standard; to estimate men, not
in dollars and cents, but according to
their real worth. The worlds great
est benefactors have been men who
lived and died poor in material wealth.
The scholar, the patriot, the states
man, the artist, the scientist, The
teacher, the moral eXemplar, these IN
the greatness of their work, make the
rsere money grubber seem meanIy
small. There is too much worship of
wealth, but it is not universal, and
wealth itself is poor and feeble as com
pared with the power of thought and
the spirit which moves men to work
toward the highest ideals.
