WHERE THE WEALTHY OFFEND. !
From the standpoint Of our material
prosperity there is molly ono other thing
as important as the discoura cement OF |
spirit of envy and hostility toward hon !
est business men, toward honest men Of
means; this is tho disbursement OF
dishonest business men the war upon the
chcanery and wrorgdong which are Pc
cularlv ropulslvc, peculiarly noxious, when
exhibited by men who have no excuse
of want OF poverty, or ignorance, for
their crimes. Men of means, and above
all mon OF great wealth, can exist in
safety under the peaceful protection Of
the State, only in orderly societies, where
liberty manifests itself through and un-
der the law. It is these men who. more
than any others, should, in the interests
Of the class to which they belong, in
the interests Of their children and their
children's children. seek in every way.
but especially in the conduct of their
lives, to resist upon and to build up re-
spcct for the law. It may not he true
q
individual of this class. but in the long
run It is prominently true from the stand
point Of the class as whole, no less
than Of tho country as whole. that it
Is a vcritahle calamity to achieve n
temporary triumph by violation or eva
sion of the law: and we are tho best
friends Of the man Of property, we
show ourselves the staunchcst uphol1crs
~ tho rights Of property. whom we sct
our faces lie flint against those off
cndors who do wrong in order to acquire
great wealth or who use this wealth
a help to wronEdoing.
CONDUCT THE ONLY TEST
Wronsdoing is confined to no class.
/ Good and evil are to be found among
! both rich and poor. and in drawing tho
| line among our fellows we must draw
It on conduct and not on worldly pos
sessions. In the abstract most OF us will
admit this. IN the concrete We can act
upon such doctrine only il We really
| have knowledge Of ann sympathy with
ono another If both the waee-worker
and the capitalist are able 10 enter
each into the others life. to meet him
so as to get into genuine sympathy with
! him most Of tie misunderstanding be-
| tween thcm Will disappear and It's place
will be taken by a judgement broader
! iustcr. moro kindly, and more generous;
| for each VII md in tho other tho same
essential human attributes that exist in
| himself. l. was President Mck!ney's
! peculiar glory that in actual practice no
realized this MS It is given to but few
men to realize It; that his broad and
deep svmpathios made him feel A gen
uinc sense Of oneness with all his fellow
Americans. whatever their station or
work IN life, 50 that to his soul they
were all Joined with him in a great
hrotherly democracy Of the spirit II is
not given to many Of us in our lives
actually to realize this attitude to the
| extent that he did: hut We can al least
/ have It before us n the goal Of our en-
deavor and hv SO doing we shall pay
| honor better than in any other way to
| the memory Of tho dead president whose
services in life we this day commemor-
a'e.
