A Plea for n Graduated Standard of
 Misconduct.

A Plea for n Graduated Standard of
 Misconduct.
 What is really wanted at the present time is a standard of misconduct. We are constantly doing things in doubt. as if we hadn't right to Gu them.
 The confusion caused by people 1o- ing things which In their circumstances we had no right to expect Is the prIn- cipal cause of our troubles. It ought to be definitely settlc,l. for example. that any millionaire who has. say, over a hundred millions will thereafter lead an honest life. If he las only fifty millions his life should be sem-honestt. and if he has only paltry ten millions then 1t ought to be conceded that he can loot a few railroads or so until he gets on his feet.
 Up to, say. ten thousand year no man can afford to be dishonest. He ought to get up in the cars and give his seat to women under g. at least. and of course he will rot take the chance of robbing any safe. From ten thousand up to a hundred thousand he can engage in little dishonest fiiers by making one of pool or putting through a land deal or so for variety.
 When he gets fifty millions or more together, however, every man ought to ask himself plainly the question wheth- CT from now on he ought not to be q philanthropist. Doesn't he owe this to his fellow men?-LifeS
