The Purely Money Loving
Glass Is Unfit tOaRule

By WILLIAM NJ. WINS. Late Republican Candidate For Mayor of New York
@gAHa1H HE question for us to ask as a nation is, knowing that we love
q money and knowing the noble use of it, What do we love
w. MORE THAN MONEY? Is it liberty? The facts do not
show it, because 1 believe it to be the fact that as people
today, we are suffering socially and politically from the TYRANNY
OF ILL GOTTEN WEALTH; and yet we are not prepared as a
people (or Society" so called, is no part of the people, but the mere
rotten fruit of the tree of prosperity, we are as a people, | say, not
prepared to take off our hats to MERE WEALTH. There is no
suer truth than that the purely money loving class il from severy
point of view, in character, in temperament and in training, unfit to
rule or to direct any nation, and yet it comes dangerously near BOTH
DIRECTING AND RULING ours, and the scepter BY which we
are actually, if not theoretically, governed is not the scepter of democ-
racy, but the ignoble sccptcr of finance, exploiting the people and cor
ruptng its representation. "'fo@
The chief disqualification of the money hungry to rule a state is
their interpretation Of their complete inability to reach or to inhu-
ence our NOBLER INSTINCTS. / may add their Indifference to
and utter disregard of them. What the politician loves is the mini
mum of effort with the maximum of talk, and he so hatesa licking that
he is sure finally to do what he is told. AS it is today, however, it is
by this class and not by the great, silent, laborious majority, whose
will is SYSTEMATICALLY FRUSTRATED, that a a nation we
are Judged and not infrequently despised because so many of this class
are so vulgar and despicabc, although so many are men of culture
and personal charm.
We may admit as the final ugly fact that 'thc whole prosperity of
a people is built up on interest and never upon sentiment" But one
part of the people knows and is eternaly vigilant of its interests, and
another part either DOES NOT KNOW or is lacking in vigilance.
But the viglant interests may not be the interests of the community,
and these latter thus come to be wholly d~isregarded or misrepresented
in our legislatures and by our executive officials. But professional
THIS is SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR, BECAUSE IT
MAKES THEM LESS DANGEROUS DIRECTLY AS THEY ARE MORE
TIMlD AND LEADS THEM TO KEEP THEIR EARS CLOSE TO THE
GROUND.

But we are told by the critics that graft exists VEVERYWHERE
today, and l answer that, while there is graft here and there, it does
not compare with the reckless dishonesty of olden times. Even a hun
bred years ago the English government is said to have rocked with
graft. 1t was more fragrant and widespread. Ministers trafcked in it,
and men in high places did as they were told n RECEIVED
THEIR PAY. Compared with the graft of today it was tremendous,
and vet little was said of it and few were harshly judged. This was in
the day of William Pitt.
They also tell me that this is IN age of personal denuncation, and
| say that, while this may be measurablv true, it is not the denunciation
heard and read in the days of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson
and John Quincy Adams. In those days the newspapers printed mat
ter that for VIRULENCE AND VITUPERATION would make
our newspapers of today blush with shame.
No, when j all summed up there never was a time in the history
of the world when the AVERAGE man was SO intelligent as he is
now nor so good. And what of the insurance scandals? Why, twenty
wears ago-yes, even ten years ago-these scandals would not have
been noticed; they would not have been SCANDALS at all. Public
conscience has quickened since then, and it is this revvifed public con-
science that roots out dishonesty, brings it to light and Furnishes the
guilty ones. Public conscience has come to be stricter, more energetic
than of old, and it makes itself FELT MORE in the affairs of our
national life than it ever did in The past.
TIE WORLD, THINK, is ON THE WAY TO EVEN A HIGHER
AND BETTER PUBLIC CONSCIENCE.

Nc A CITY.

Here is an editorial which appear
ed in the Atlantic City Press which
will interest Perth Amboy. The
Press is holding mp Williamsport,
Pa. as an example for Atlantic City,
but what applies to the city by the sea
in this particular instance, applies to
us.
The Press says:
Atlantic City might take Il timely
hint from the town of Williamsport,
Pa, in the matter of advertising BY
use Of printers ink and by word of
mouth. After years of lethargy, the
young men of the town took hold and
went at it in earnest.
BY advertisement, pamphlet and
folder, with pluck, persistence and
push, always cheerily, breezily and
brightly. they set out to make their
beautiful city a modern example Of
resurrection from the dead. Every
man owning a dollar gave the use of
a part or all of it to the cause. Ev-
cry man without a dollar gave the
use of his lungs and brain. Between
the two. and with the help of the
printer, they royalty succeeded.
Today Williamsport is a busy hive
of small but prosperous new ndus-
tries. in which cheerful w-age-earners
work. delighted to have been led to
locate in so charming a city. The
banks are bullying, trade is BRISK, real
estate is advancing in value, neat
homes are multiplying and new
churches, schools and libraries are
dotting the hillsides and begemming
the valley. 1t is literally true that in
less than five years the city's whole
outlook p o life and the future has
been transformed from gloom to
gladness; from a prospect of decay to
a happy assurance of steadily quick
ening growth. For this time, VIII
Transport is not building on n foun-
dation but on many. Consequently
nothing but the improbable collapse
of the entire prosperity of our coun-
try can suffice to shatter Williams
ports fortunes.
We have before us, as we write, a
most attractive booklet, entitled
What Williamsport Did in l9O5.'
Among other things, Williamsport
gained 20 per cent over 1904 in the
value of new buildings erected; 10
per cent in postal business transact
ed: seven per cent in bank surplus
and undivided profits; six per cent in
bank loans and discounts and be-
tween three and four per cent in bank
deposits. More than that: When the
five year period of WiIliamsports
first guarantee fund" of $4,000,
subscribed in 1900 to attract new in
dustries, expired in December, 1903,
1t was not only gladly renewed but
increased to 1851, 000-more than
doubled.

MATTER OF INSPIRATION.

The following editorial in the New
ark Advertiser concerning the stand
taken by this newspaper on the
church taxation question is interest
ing:
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Perth Amboy Evening News, enter
tains and editorially enunciates some
peculiar views on certain questions.
The News at present using what
influence we have 10 get the local op-
ton and the bishops bills place on
our statute books The News wants
both bills. Then the News also wants
all church property to be included in
the ratables and taxed the same as all
other property. 1t is evident, though,
hat the Perth Amboy paper borrows
its ideas from the Newark Evening
News. Argues the News thus:

church, works to uplift the moral

By General HoRAcN PORTER. ExAmbasador to france

! Our national awakening to honesty
ought to make US honest with our

country and fumigated after them
we shall still live personally lives of
fraud. You don't believe it? Walk
along any shopping street any morn
ing and see.
The first one you meet will be a
clerk hurrying to his work, with ten
minutes to be half an hour late in.
/ What is he but CRATER?
The second will be the young head
of new family. his eyes glued on
stock quotations and his thoughts
fixed on the s'markeJ" where he will
gamble away the clothes and food and
credit that belong to his young wife
and little babes. What is he but a
CRATER?
The third will be delivery boy
slipping his hand into a basket of ap-
pies. What is he but a CRATER?
The fourth Will be young lady. the
soul of grace and the very spirit of
beauty, who has left the breakfast
dishes for her mother to do in order
that she may look over the Christmas
things. What is she but CRATER?
The fifth may be almost anybody
merchant, jobber. contractor, a
newsboy, professional man, perhaps
even a clergyman: and if he would
open the secret chambers of his heart
for US to see We might ask of everyone:
