CALLS WEALTH BAD
Keep Fortunes Within Needs,
Says DR.. Adler.
SUPPORTS ROOSEVELT POLICY
Much Easier for Business Men TO
Rise, He Declares, Than Those
Engaged In Industrial Pursuits.
says that the Game Now Is Play
ed with "LOaded Dice"

New York. oct. 27.-Dr. Felix Adler ad-
dressed the New York Society for Ethical
Culture in Carnegie Hall to-day on Pres
ident's Roosevelts Distinction Between
Good and Bad Wealth" Dr. Adler said:
President Roosevelt has drawn a dis
tinction between wealth which he con-
demns and that which ne approves. He
does not desire TO create the impression
that he is engaged in a crusade against
wealth righteously gained, but is aggres-
sively inclined against swollen fortunes.
II is in his mind to bride the corpora
tions Undoubtedly this reflects the senti-
ment Of a preponderanCe Of the people
and is significant for that matter
NO matter how honestly he may come
by il. no person is entitled to a fortune
beyond his needs Under the present sys-
TEN the game is played many times with
loaded dice so TO speak II doesn't mean
that merchants are sharpers. But the
system gives them unfair advantages.
There is a distinction between business
and industry In the former man may
start as huckster and in his wander
ings finally acquire a store and credit,
and go in for himself eventually. This is
not true of industry. A factory hand in
many cases is not able TO rise He can't
get away to study things around him. He
is tied down to certain place and is a
fraction of industry. When you talk about
a man rising from the bottom to the top
you refer TO the business man.
"I join with President Roosevelt in his
view of riches. When wealth flows in ex-
cess of what YOU require, distribute it
freely Of your own accord. In this way
you spare yourself with your finer senses.
One Cf the wealthiest men Of this country
goes about proclaiming that every time
he sees very rich man die he sees him

dent for the enactment Of a law for the
reformation Of corporations, and he has
consented TO do so.
The Judge made the impression on his

contain. and that his idea was for a
Congressional enactment that would
bring all corporations. doing in any way

by the general government.
