One Theory of Wealth.

Why there should be working
poor men and idle rich men in the
same community is a question which
no one has answered, and no one can
answer satisfactorily. That is why the
opinion is SO prevalent that the world
economically considered, is so very
much out of joint, believes T. N. Car
ter. writer in Atlantic. But although
there is so much unanimity in the
opinion that wealth ought not to be
distributed as it now is, there is still
a wide diversity of opinion, where
there is any definite opinion at all, as
to how it really ought to be distribu-
ted. These opinions may, however, be
reduced to three fundamentally dis
tinct theories, which l shall call the
aristocratic, the socialistic, and the
democratic, or liberalistic, theories.
The aristocratic theory is that the
good things of the world belong more
particularly to certain groups or
classes than to others, by virtue of
some circumstance connected with
their birth or heredity, and independ-
emily of their individual achievements.
The socialistic theory is that wealth
ought to be distributed according to
needs, or according to some similar
plan arranged beforehand, and indie
pendently of the individual ability to
acquire wealth in the rough-and-ready
struggle of life. The democratic, or
liberalistic. theory is that wealth
ought to be distributed according to
productivity, usefulness, or worth.

He was older than MI Mu1nford and

it bored quite thoroughly.
Mr.. Grant frankly told his friends
he believed there were plenty of clever
women who could follow their talents
and at the same time be good wives
and mothers. He held that there
could be no incompatibility between
the art of a woman and the helpful
coEieraderie of the home.

that he could say this same. thing to

why woman cannot be a good wife

life, in 1899, Mrs Mumford took her
boy and left her husband alone in his
New York home. AS for her, she went
to California and acquired legal resi-

Salaries of State officials.

During this session of congress, as
in many previous sessions, the expe-
diency has been considered Of raising
the salaries of the higher officers of
the national government and of the
diplomatic and consular service. 1t is
coming more and more to be recog-
nized as fact, says Youths Com
panion, that the richest nation in the
world, occupying a country in which
the highest business salaries in the
world are cheerfully paid, is neverthe-
less niggardly paymaster of its high
est officers. For large share, indeed
for most, Of the minor positions in the
government service the payment is
adequate. The earnings of the clerks
in Washington and of most of the men
on the civil service lists compare IA
vorably with those of men doing sim
liar work for private employees. But
for the president, vice president, mem
bers Of the cabinet and of the supreme
court, the circuit court judges, am
bassadors and ministers, and many or
the higher officers at Washington and
In the states the compensation is not
only inadequate to the demands of the
places they occupy, but is VIGOROUSLY
less than men of equal ability receive
in private life. The word "compensa-
ton" is used advisedly, for it includes
not only the salary which goes with
these offices, but the honor which at
taches to them. Both together are
still inadequate payment. The desire
to preserve that republican simple
ity" which has always been an Amer
lean ideal is the main obstacle to the
raising of official salaries. Many per-
sons fail to consider that for one who
can afford it, liberal expenditure is
not necessarily a sign either of ex-
travagance or of luxury; and that
with nations, as with individuals, the
scale which is just and proper in the
day of small things may be a measure
of unseemly parsimony when the cir
cumstances have changed.

and successful woman writer's.
Can a woman who writes be, at the
same time, good wife and a good
mother? Can woman, devote herself
to art and her home at one and the

Certainly" declared Peter Geddes
Grant, broker and lover.
Mrs. Mumford agreed with him very
decidedly. So now the marriage of
Mr.. Grant and Mrs. Mumford follows
quite naturally on the heels of the
celebrated divorce case of Mumford
VS.. MumfOrd.
Ethel Dickinson Watts, was one of
the most talented daughters of the
south vixen she met George lana
Mumford. Born in New York herself,
she was still the high type of south
ern girl that her mother. Mrs. d. G.
Watts, meant her to be. She was
tall, athletic, witty, vivacious, beauti-
full, clever.
Her mother, a woman o. wealth,
saw that the daughters; natural gifts
were not neglected. She had a fine
education, and then was sent to Paris
to finish. She studied painting I'M
der Benjamin Constant. she spent a
year travelling in Europe and the
orient. There was another year in
japan, long stay in the South seas.
Journeys to the south and west in the
United States, and visits in Mexico
and Central America
When Miss Watts got back to New
York, says the World, of that city,
she was bubbling over with ideas
which she longed to put down in black
and white. And SO there blossomed
out another successful woman writer.
Then came Mr.. Mumford. He was
rich, good looking, a graduate of Co.

well known socially in New York and
