localities where no school building

where the school population is

will buy, but by kindness, by care,
by friendship, by the helping hand
stretched forth in the time of need.
Even though our ambitions are
larger, the case is not altered. The
man who has q large amount of
money to give away finds a ire
mendous task upon his hands. Mr..
Carnegie knows, by this time, how
it is. He has been conscientiously
endeavoring to dispose Of great
fortune; he has tried to find places
to put it, in which it would do as
little harm and as much good as
possible, but he has not been able
as yet, to get rid of much more
than the income of his estate. The
great bulk of it still remains in his
hands. And there has been no end
of fault finding. A great many of
the workingmen refuse to patronize
his libraries; not a few of the col
lege professors resent his pro-
fessional pensions, and others de-
clare that the result of the scheme
will be to keep salaries at a low
figure.
The fact is that the amount
which any man can wisely give
away is limited. 1t ought to be in
vested in ways where he can watch
the operation of it before he dies,
and see that it is doing good and
not harm.
Unre6ecting people are apt to
have much to say about the good
that the multimilionaires could do
with their money if they would
give it all away. That is by no
means clear. These multimillion-
aires have had no training in the
very difficult business of doing good
with money. To pour out upon the
community a flood of largesses
would be a doubtful good. 1t would
multiply mendicants and undermine
character. Such an era of undi-
gested charities would inevitably
be period of moral decadence. To
encourage the growth of a class of
enormously rich men in the inter
ests of charity is a doubtful policys
1t would tend to the reproduction
of the conditions in ancient Rome,
with a hungry mob bowling for
bread and the circus.

turned as largess. 1t is better to let
people have what they earn and
trust them to use it wisely. Justice
Is a better social foundation than
dubious blend of robbery and
charity.
1t is difficult thing to do good
with money. There are those who
say that it is nearly impossible to
get large fortune honestly; but
think 1t is about as easy to get it
honestly as to give it away USE
fully.
Beneficiaries are not always
grateful; some of our worst enc.
mics may be found among those
whom we have tried to benefit. Still
more serious Is the paralyzing and
pauperizing effect which unearned
benefactions art apt to have upon
the character of the recipient.
The difficulty of making money
really useful to those who have
not earned 1t Is seen in the char
acters of the children of the rich.
In the great majority of cases they
are injured rather than benefited
by 1t, Careful observation. through
many years, leads me to the belief
that the son of man worth $40. 900

"If l had it, could do so much
good with it,"
This Is the constant refrain of
well-meaning money-lovers who
seek to justify their greed for gain.
Reasonable people are bound to
give some sort of reason for their
conduct; and few of us are so utter
ly selfish that we could be satisfied
with heaping up great boards with
out some thought of ultimately
sharing them with our neighbors.
remember a conversation with
a keen promoter, in which spoke
my mind freely with respect to a
recent reorganization" of street
railway. The outstanding capital
had been trebled, and very little
of the proceeds had been used in
improvements. To my protests
against that way of getting rich. he
answered.: but how else will you
get your public libraries, your art
galleries, your hospitals, your
churches and Fairgrounds? Isn't II
for the good of all that men should
be permitted to get rich rapidly In
order that they may have a large
surplus to distribute in such ways
The working people will never &C
cumulate money to provide them
selves with such things. Isn't II
well to encourage large and rapid
accumulations that these higher
needs of the people may then be
supplied?"
To this plea of "benevolen,
feudalism" the answer Is that 1t is
doubtful policy to permit the levy
ing of large tribute upon the earn
