WHY CURSE THE RICA7

Chancellor Day. not long ago. in his
published article about the rich, has
started an e-dless discussion. Various
views by various people are expressed
There are some narrow-minded people
who feel that because a man. through
energy and thrift. has accumulated a
/ fortune. he i damned forever. The
mere fact that one man has vast for
tune or has cvea considerable wealth
! is sure incentive for criticism.
The socialistic view that The rich
should be censured is silly. Not all
men can be rich. Some are more for
tunate than others The rich should
( not be cursed because they have accl-
mulated money. Nearly every man
has his golden opportunity. II he fails
/ through misfortune. II he is not
success through lack of ability. II he
cannot succeed because he has not
the necessary business tact II is not
the fault of the man who has achiev-
ed success
II Is not only in financial matters
that We find this distinction. Take
the world of art. the world OF letters.
the drama. athletics or any technical
field In each there are failures. This
does not mean that those who sue
coed should be cursed Il is the
survival OF the fiites;. It always has
been. 1t will always be.
There is fallacy in this country
that a man has only to be rich to be
cursed and condemned. He has only
To create a prosperous business TO be

signed 20 the deepest perdition by the
