Obituary.
John B. Stetson. the hat maker of
| Philadelphia, died suddenly at his win
ter home in Florida. last Saturday.
John A. Mccall, late President of the
| New York Life Insurance Co. died at
his home at Lakewood, N. j., Sunday,
and the recent disclosures regarding the
management of the great company are
supposed to have fastened his death
/ "A few days ago Mr. Mccall, con-
| scious of the end, declared that he had
lived his life as he believed best; that
he had not knowingly wronged man,
woman or child" This can be credited.
The criticism which fell upon him was
directed at acts that were, perhaps, the
result OF example and environment,
without personal consideration Of the
ethical phases. 1t is a too common fea-
ture of modern life, this surrender to an
/ artificial standard of cOrpOrate conyen-
ton, of law honesty. 1t may be tr'te.
but it is nevertheless timely to point
again to the moral Of these revelations
as illuminated by this tragic climax
When all has been said and done. when
| the subject has been considered from
every side and in every light, the man
who maintains the old-fashioned ideals
of individual probity and personal re-
sponsibility, sustained by the approba-
ton of his own conscience, lives his life
best, whether he aocumulates wealth or
remains poor.
