OUR INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM.
Differences Of Wealth Must Not Blind
Us TO Fact OF Sharing.

In our Industrial and social system
The interests OF all men are so closely
intertwined that In the immense ma
iority OF cases a straight dealing man
who by his efficiency. by his ingenultg
and industry, benefits himself must AL
so benefit others. Normally the man OF
great productive capacity who becomes
rich by guiding the labor OF many other
men does so by enabling them TO pro-
, duce more than they could produce
without his guidance; and both he and
they share In the benefit, which comes
also TO the public at large. The SUPER
fetal fact that the sharing may be m
equal must never blind us to the under
lying fact that there IL this sharing.
and that the benefit comes In some de-.
gree TO each man concerned. Normally
the wage worker, the man Of small
means, and the average consumer. as
well az the average producer, are all
alike helped by making conditions
such that the man Of exceptional BUSH
ness ability receives an exceptional re-
ward for his ability. Something can be
done by legislation TO help the general
prosperity; but no such help Of per-
manenty beneficial character can he
given to the less able and less fortu-
nate, save as the results OF a policy
which shall insure to the advantage OF
all Industrious and efficient people who
act decently; and this is only another
way OF saying that any benefit which
comes to the less able and less fortu-
nate must Of necessity come even more
to the more able and more fortunate.
il, therefore. the less fortunate man ia
moved by envy Of his more fortunate
brother to strike at the conditions un-
der which they have both. though un-
equally. prospered, the result will as
suredly be that while damage may come

The Chinatown mystery was the

then she has been living in Pell street

TO the Senate and House of Represen-

The people of this country continue to
enjoy great prosperity. Undoubtedly
there will be ebb and flow IN such
prosperity, and this ebb and flow will
be felt more or less by all members "
the community. both by the deserving
and the undeservng. Against the
wrath Of the Lord the wisdom of man
can not avail; In times of food and
drouth human ingenuity can but par
TALLY repair the disaster. A general
failure of crops would hurt all of us.
Again. IL the folly Of man mars the
general well being, then those who are
Innocent Of the folly will have to pay
part Of the penalty incurred by those
who are guilty Of the folly. A pane
brought on by the speculative folly OF
part OF the business community would
hurt the whole business community.
But such stoppage of welfare, though II
might be severe, would not be lasting.
In the long run the one vital factor in
the permanent prosperity OF the coun-
try is the high individual character uf
the average American worker, the av-
erage American citizen, no matter
whether his work be mental or man
usl, whether he be farmer or wage
worker. business man or professional
