WHY CURSE THE RICH?

Chancellor Day. not long ago, in
his published article about the rich.
has started an endless discussion.
Various views by various people are
expressed. There are some narrow
minded people who feel that because
man, through energy and thrift.
has accumulated a fortune, he In
damned forever, The mere fact that
one man has vast fortune or has
even considerable wealth is sure
incentive for criticism.
The socialistic view that the rich
should be censured is silly. Not ali
men can be rich. Some are more
fortunate than others. The rich
should not be cursed because they
have accumulated money. Nearly er-
cry man has hi golden opportunity
II he falls through misfortune, if he
IS not a success through lack of abiI-
ty, if he cannot succeed because ne
has not the necessary business tact,
t Ia not the fault Of the man who has
achieved success.
II is not only in financial matters
that We find this distinction. Take
the world of art, the world OF let
ters the drama, athletics or any tech
meal field. In each there are fail
ures. This does not mean that those
.ho succeed should be Cursed. 1t is
the survival of the fittest. 1t always
has been. 1t always will be.
There is a fallacy in this country
that man has only to be rich to be
cursed and condemned. He has only
to create prosperous busines% to
be mathematical. He is usually con
signed to the deepest perdition by
the dissatisfied and the malcontents,
as well as by those of sociallstie
tendencies.
But we must stop a minute and
consider. We cannot get along with
out the rich. Some may have ill-got-
ten gains. Some are not deserving
the wealth they have. Some merit
the condemnation they receive. That
is neither here nor there. They are
rich and the poor man cannot do
without them. Labor is dependent
upon capital Just as much as capital
is dependent upon labor. There are
reciprocal benefits which must be
recognized. The men who receive
the hatred and curses of the mob
today are usually the ones who built
the poor mans factory, the railroads,
the shops In which he makes a liv-
ing. He is probably the man who
opened mines, swung open the doors
OF thousands of industries and who
made a daily livelihood possible.
So why curse the rich? They have
the means of making the way posi-.
bic for the less fortunate. Men must
live There may be injustice in this
worldly distribution OF wealth The
motives which actuate the rich man
in building may be selfish. But never
the less, we cannot get along without
him, so what is the use OF growing
bitter and morose. II Is far better
to make the best OF the situation

presumably, supposed he was giving

On Sunday, August 10th, the Cairo
baseball club with number of it's
friends and AL Goss' cornet band went
to Paducah on the steamer Gondola
to play a game with the Paducah
club. The game was pulled off in
the afternoon. resulting in tie at
the end of the thirteenth inning, each
Grub having scored four tallies. Next
day another game was played in which
Cairo was victor by a score of Z to
Is. Cairo had four ST. Louis profes
SIGNALS assisting in the game, and
The Bulletin claimed that the Padu-
cab people played seven profess
SIGNALS. Healy pitched for Cairo,
striking out nineteen men, Dolan of
st. Louis, caught Healy. Harvey of
Cairo was umpire. As a result of the
game, silver bali passed into the
possession of the Cairo club. On
their return from Paducah, the Cairo
players were met by the Comique

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

Mayor Parsons message to the city
council Tuesday night was a carefully
prepared paper and replete with good
things-good things relating to past
performance and future prospects in
the material up-building of the city
He gave resume of the work done
so far in the way of street filling and
paving and sewer building, and told
OF what was ordered or planned to be
done this year. He congratulated the
people on the better service by the
several public utility corporations
better street railway service, better
and cheaper lighting. better and
cheaper water service. The value OF
all these things to the people of Cairo
must not be underestimate; they are
the fFIition Of many years of hard
struggle to raise the city out of the
swamp upon which II was founded
and TO make it pleasant habitasion:
It is always in order to keep them in
mind. and before the worlds mind as
much as possible. for they represent
much and mean much in the life OF
this community. Nor would The Bull.
letin take from the mayor one iota of
credit that he may Justly claim on ae-
count Of these things, keeping in mind
also, however, that he was merely
carrying out an emphatic and practic-
ally unanimous popular demand which
found effective expression in the
equally unanimous sentiment in the
city council 1t would be gratifying
indeed if the mayor could have
spoken with equal exultation over
past achievement under the head of
Public Morals" It is true, the city
Is better in this respect also. 1t has
been greatly improved during the last
few months; but that this improve
ment has not been secured through
any effort on the part Of the mayor,
but rather In spite OF his opposition,
is known fact and is practically ad-
mitted In what he has to say on the
subject. The fact that he deyotes
more space to 1t than to any other
subject indicates that he realizes It's
Importance in the public mind; that
there Is not one line In the 106 lines
given to this subject, which gives the
slightest hint Of qualification that
moral conditions are improved, shows
the mayors utter lack of sympathy
on this score. He has only excuses,
evasions, explanations, stale plati-
tudes on moral reform movements
generally; vain attempt to shift re-
sponsibility from himself to the. peo-
pie. He repeats what he said year
ago that revolutionary methods of
reform have invariably been followed
with reactionary results, If not actual
failure, making worse rather than bet
tering the existing order OF things
and he overlooks the fact. equally az

support of a majority of the people
affected thereby" There are two ways
of interpreting this sentence. the
broad and the narrow. The former
would include the whole community
as ''the people affected" by any pro
posed reform movement; the latter
would limit the number TO those i'm
mediately or directly affected. The
mayor has acted upon the latter In
terpretation. He has refused to per-
nit his police force to interfere with
the low dives in the city, the robbers
roosts, the skin-game joints, the
negro honky-tonks, etc, ETC., etc, be-
cause the keepers of these places
would not give such interference
their substantial support" If the
mayor would intimate that a majority
of the people of Cairo would not
give such interference their "substan,
tial support" he must ignore the
scores of requests that have been
