RICHES FAIL As CURE.ALL.

DO you banker for money? do you envy
the millionaire? Are you longing for the time
when you will not have to cook? Are you dis
conted with your lot? Then read the follow.
ing from The Denver Republican of recent
date. Under the caption 'rhe Unrest Of the
Rich" the Denver paper tells some great
truths In splendid way, saying:
Much talk is there of the unrest of the
TO call the poorer classes Of straining for re-
iief from their condition. Socialism and its
bad brother, Anarchy, are supposed to be the
outgrowth OF an idea that through some un.
balancing OF conditions the moneyless man has
been ROBBED OF his power TO be happy.
What about the unrest OF the rich? They
may not be holding street meetings and listen
ing to The harangues OF Socialist orators, but
That they are every bit as restless, dissatisfied
and discontinued, some OF them succeed daily
10 making manifest They are finding fully as
many ways to be wretched as ever poor man
dared.
The mistake is in supposing that the pos
session OF wealth stops the feeling of unrest
that Adam felt stirring within him and that
the last child born inherited Ia kind Some
time back In the tight which mao has always
made In response TO that feeling, somebody
for what allied him. Ever since then he has
been hunting the cure. In spite of the fact
that nobody has ever been able to get large
enough dose, the belief still holds general that
II is possible to do so.
1.-Two Of the richest families In America
are 10 the limelight In today's news, brought
tnere by this same unrest that some are saying
VIII undermine society. The parties to these
stories OF unrest all have more money than the
average man thinks would be enough to make
him happy. They have so much that thoy
don't need ~ be satisfied with anything, so are
satisfied with nothing. Because they might
i've anywhere they live nowhere-have half a
dozen houses, but dart hither and thither
around the world far more discontented than
the Denver workman who has bought lot in
some outside addition and Is laying away few
dollars when he can In the hope of some day
building a Lle home upon IT, Because they
are removed from the necessity TO think of such
helpfnl things as how to save enough this eek
10 D ~ the klddie som" SHOES, they have pl enty
OF Lime TO find tie imperfectons in each other
and wonder whether some other man or woman
would not make more satisfying husband or
wife.
III Is mistake to think that the unrest is
anything new or that there Is q cure for it. It,
is another mistake TO think that happiness lies
IN The escape from the necessity to work Out
OF the unrest or nature came creation. Man. a
product OF II, has, out Of that inherited unrest,
quit CIVILIZATION and must go on building to
the END OF time. Only by making the best OF
the heritage, holding a strong rein over apd
OF things and feel that gratided pride In work
wei done which Is the nearest approach to
earthly happiness
socialism Is not born OF any result OF man 3
WORK; 10 Is protest against the common i'm
pulse. III Is the wall Of the shirk. 1t will
never undermine society, for this is a game in
which the worker wins 4"
