If these multiplied millions are
not to be left in the hands of our
plutocracy what shall be done with
the money! Go into any of oar
manufacturing centers, where a
large portion of this wealth is Gre
ated, and study the conditions nn-
der which the creators thereof live.
Each summer when the hot waves
sweep tie country, little children
die off like flies in an autumn frost
because there is no escape from an
enforced environment. The met
ropolitan press then makes Il spas
modic and great outcry for tine al
deviation of this distress by chari-
table contribution of ice, pure
milk, or towards defraying the ex-
penses of fresh air missions, but
rarely does it call for the true rem
edial agency by which a perma.
nent alienation of this distress may
be accomplished. Charity is ar
abomin:tion that fair play should
lose no time in relegating to per
manent oblivion.

The ease with which the law is
subverted is to large extent re-
sponsible for a widespread and
menacing corruption in Office and
the grating and lootIng by those
directing the affairs of large finan-
cial institutions like life insurance
companies. If newspaper reports
are to be believed the funds of the
Equitable insurance company have
been largely dissipated and dimin-
lshed by processes that are but
little better morally than plain
stealing, nor are their legal aspect
any different in the eyes Of even
handed justice. The men who are
guilty of these otfenses are often
among the most conspicuous in the
land. Their political and social
prominence is hardly shaken by the
exposure of the methods by which
they have acquired this promi-
nence. They are too high to be
touched by the stigma that attach
es to the lowty who are guilty OF
similar offenses. Among the lat
ter therefore there Is much bood
ling and grating in constant Of

selves in the class of the immune

classes that is the most dangerous
menace to our national safety, be
