THE BRAKE OF PUBLICITY.

1.-THE only sure protection of the rich
judgments as to the morality Of the
practices by which great wealth has
been acquired is publicity for his meth
DDS and results" so declares President
Eliot of Harvard university, in a sug-
gestive comparison of the advantages
that the well-to-do have over the very
rich, contributed to the current number
of the Worlds Work. This declaration
will in all probability startle some of
the very rich who have come to regard
publicity as one of the things to be
dreaded and avoided rather than their
only sure protection.
What President Eliot means by his
words is explained further by the asser-
ton that many businesses are now under
sufficient government supervision to Sc
cure some measure of publicity, while
those conducted with secrecy and with
no periodic publication of results are
liable to intense suspicion on the part of
the public whenever they yield immense
fortunes for individuals at short notice.
"In such cases." he continues, "the pub
lie always suspects some sort of foul
play, or some unearned increment not
fairly attributable to unusual foresight.
The suddenly rich man finds that the
presumptions are all against him in the
public mind and that the public ear is
opened to the prosecuting attorney, but
the inevitable penalty for secrecy in
money getting on a large scale. Many
years may elapse before it is possible
to get the final verdict and oblivion may
easily arrive before justice"
The brake of publicity, as it may be
called, to which President Eliot refers,
must operate upon the rich in a two
fold manner In the first place, it should
tend to confine the acquisition Of wealth
in high finance within legitimate lines,
thus protecting the public and the
smaller individual or corporation against
unfair competition or unfair interior
ence. In this very operation Of protect
ing the public. 1t should also protect
the rich man who is acquiring his
wealth without resorting TO questionable
means; protect him not only in the
public estimation, but also in the posses
sion OF his accumulations against men
of his own class who would use trickery
to supplant him.
The brake Of publicity should hold
down the very rich. not only in the
methods Of acquiring mere wealth. but
also in the methods Of using it or dissi-
pating Il ter once acquired. The very
rich can get into public odium as easily
by the misuse Of legitimately gotten
( wealth as by the practices of securing
III gotten gains and a good use will
often mollify, If not modify, public
opinion upon questionable methods OF
wealth accumulation.
The moral of it all is that instead
OF obstructing and hampering the de-
mand for publicity of the relations be-
| tween the great corporations and the
public, and between them and their en-
ployes and patrons, the great and rich
captains Of industry should welcome
and greet this publicity as their only
sure protection" When they once
thoroughly realize that publicity viii in
the long run help them more than it will
| hurt them, they will favor it rather than
oppose II and afterwards wonder why
they did not wake up TO the situation
long before.

connection with the recent Hartje di-
VorCo case, was the most sensational
and revolving since the Hartje domes-
tic troubles were brought to public at

Hocc reiterated the charges Of init

Lutte denial Of the first. The negro said
wien he was arrested in East Liver

revolver at his head. He was told, he
said. that a large crowd of angry men
were waiting his return To Allegheny

he confessed that the charges of inti-
macy against Mrs. Hartje We're false.
HcUa said the threats frightened MIN
into a confession. which he later signed
