The Luxury Of the Rich

In conclusion, / reply to those who
say that, in censuring extravaganza /
am striking at the effect not the cause,
and who urge consideration of what
they think the greater question, how
the rich got their enormous fortunes.
No doubt many Of these fortunes were
obtained by unfair means, by unjust
discrimination of laws, by trlckery and
fraud, by stupid luck, as in farm hold
ing on Manhattan Island, and no doubt
such fortunes should be made impOs-
sible by law, by a graduated income
tax or graduated inheritance tax.
Nevertheless, / believe that the wrong
done to the people by the rich in get
ting their wealth is less than the wrong
they are now doing in squandering it.
1t is better to steal mans money than
his manhood. And while the Ameri-
can people may mourn the usurpation
Of their oil wells, coal fields, railways,
meat supply, etc, there would be deep
er cause for mourning If they had lost
also their honesty, their frugalty and
their peace of mind. In these homely
qualities, not in material possessions,
lies the real strength OF this nation,
and our profligate rich are doing a
wicked thing when they strike at these
qualities. when, by their glitterlng ex-
ample, they debauch our sound and
sane middle classes, when they teach
others to do as they have done, and
spread through the body of our citizens
the leaven Of dishonesty and discon-
tent. That is a crime never to be for
given, for it would work the political
ruin of the State through the moral
ruin of the people.

can catcher, is making good. and has
batted for 1868 since he Joined the Htb-

Pitchers of the Augusta team of the
South Atlantic League have shut out
opponents without a hit four times
this season.
Conroy has played every position on
the New York American team this
season, the battery excepted, and
played them well.
Washington is said to have the tall
est outfield in baseball in Huelsman,
Jones and Anderson. Kelley, Seymour
and Sebring are not so short.
Including the three games won in
Cincinnati on their last trip there, Nc
Graw's champions have won ten
straight games from the Reds.
The New York Nationals have fair
chance of winning every series this
season. Thus far the Pittsburgs are
the only team to hold them level.
With Bill Bradley and Cotton Turner
