WHY? WHY7 WHY7
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1905. by Edwin A. Nye.

Why does a baseball pitcher receive
$4,000 year for his work and set
Element worker only 5000 Year,
Why Is the president Of a life in
surance company paid 100000 in sal
airy and perquisites, while the hard
worked head Of q school draws a
mea ger wage?
Why do we pay the highest price to
the man who saves our dollars and
the lowest price to the man who saves
our souls?
Why does the world offer fortunes
to the man who shows US how to
make money and starvation wages to
the man who shows as how to make
beautiful lives?
Why do we accord highest place to
money mongers and lowest place to
teachers of ideals?
Why do men fuse body and soul,
brain and conscience, into a frenzied
money madness?
Simply because the fullness Of time
has not yet come for a people to dis
card false standards of civilization
because our people have not held the
right estimates of human life. We
have stumbled over the definition of
the supreme good Here and there
noble men have pointed us to higher
ideals, but we have not needed.
But
Thank goodness, a change is com
ing over the spirit of American
dreams, We are beginning to raise
right standards.
1t is this way:
Heretofore only the material things
! have concerned US. We must master
! q continent We must girdle the globe
with our commerce. In this accom-
plishment we have grasped the Occul
forces of nature and solved, as no 9th
er people have solved, the problem Oh
! the production of wealth.
Now we must stop.
We are up against a greater prob
lem-the EQUITABLE DISTRIBU
TION of wealth.
All, that is different When yot
start to study THAT problem you ruI

manitarianism, justice, righteousness
You begin to see how false is tn,
standard that pays the MOST to hin

And So
We are beginning to see that MEN
and not MONEY, are the supreme good
that the greatest wealth is CHARAC

Brewers in Politics.

ripe for a en-strike They think that
the public is disposed to believe that

telling themselves that If they can win
