kIPLING ON WEALTH.

Rudyard Kfpling, who has written
twenty books and countless poems, is
on record for only one speech. 1t was
good speech and it made deep i'm
preston on the young men Of McGin
university. Montreal, before whom 1t
was delivered.
Kipling. like other men of clear Wis
ion, is concerned about the undue place
the pursuit of wealth has in modern
life. Business to earn money is only
the machinery of life, not life itself.
He, who lives solely to earn money, is
in the same class as the man who lives
only that he may eat or the woman
whose sole purpose in life Is to wear
fine clothes. We eat and we wear
clothes that we may live for better
things and If we can earn money it
should be with some nobler purpose in
view.
Look about you, advised Kipling, and
sooner or later you will see some man
to whom the idea of wealth as mere
wealth does not appeal Continuing he
said:
IT advise you to watch this man
closely. for he will presently demon
strate to you that money dominates
everybody except the man who does not
want money. You may meet that man
on your farm, in your village, or in
your legislature. But be sure that,
whenever or wherever you meet him,
as soon as 1t comes to a direct issue
between you. his little finger will be
thicker than your loins. You will go in
fear of him; he will not go In fear of
you. You will do what he wants; he
will not do what you want. You will
find that you have no weapon in your
armory with which you can attack
him: no argument with which you can
appeal to him. Whatever you gain, he
Will gain more.
81 would like you to study that man.
I would like you better to be that man.
because from the lower point Of view
1t doesn't pay to be obsessed by the
desire of wealth for wealth's sake. If
more wealth is necessary to you. for
purposes not your own, use your left
hand to acquire it. but keep your right
for your proper work in life. If you
employ both arms in that game you
will be in danger. Of STOPPING; in dan
ger also Of losing your SOUL
Kipling is right. The world is full
of splendid things for the men who will
stand upright and who will not stoop.

PUBLIC CHARITIES

IL is well sometimes that an invcs-
tigation Of hospitals. asylums, aims
houses, etc, of our State should be
made. Such an Investigation has
been held by the grand jury in Rich
mond in it's City Home condition.
This grew out OF the mysterious
death of a wait child who died in
shat house under suspicious circum-
stances. The grand jury found a
disgraceful state OF affairs in the
management of this home for the
poor. The helpless, feeble and old,
who are compelled to seek shelter in
these homes. should be kindly cared
for and from time TO time they
should have a visitation from those
In authority in order that is may be
ascertained how they fare and how
they are treated. We know OF moth
ing more brutal, more cruel, than to
be unkind or to mistreat these poor
people in aims houses, or the d..
mented, the lunatics in our public
asylums. In other States there have
been recent Investigations into these
matters and the condition OF affairs
have been found in some cases TO be
shocking. The superintendent.

institutions and their inmates should
