DUTIES OF WEALTH,

Riches afford no excuse for
lazy leisure. Wealth is expect
ed to furnish just enough leisure
to fit one by such mental train
ing as will make him a leader in
some noble effort. There is no
place in a democracy for SO
called leisure class. There is too
much work to be done. They
who need not toll tor their daily
bread should give themselves to
the larger and deeper needs Of
the community. In a thousand
ways the man of wealth may be
a benefactor to mankind. When
he refuses to be and prefers to
spend his time in mere pleasure
seeking he is forced to take a
place which in the eyes Of the
world is contemplate. Not
what a man has, but what he Is,
fixes his place In the estimation
of the world.-Rev. Charles B.
Mitchell.

POWER OF A STATE.

My ObServa tons as a private
citizen and my experience as
public official have taught me
that the average citizen of the
Empire State knows less about
the common wealth in which he
lives than he knows about the
Andes or river Nile. 1t may be
difficult for New York to elect a
United States senator, but it is
comparatively easy for New
York to prove her right to be re-
garded as mighty empire that
throbs with energy and enter
prises, and through her vast
trade, her commerce. her schools
and universities, her teachers,
authors, artisans, preachers and
statesmen contributes with
prOdigal hand toward the civili-
Zation of the world and the
wealth and power of the western
hemiSphere-Go John A.

SOCIETY'S RIGHTS.

Man began to lose his individ-
uality when he became a mem
Der Of organized society. The
individual has passed out of
business and political life. To-
day the individual is a corpora
ton. Out Of our present system
many evils have come. l am
inclined to think that as direc-
tors Of corporations we do things
which we would not do as in
dividuals before the eyes of the
world. 1t is true that in our
complex civilization man has
lost his individuality. but at the
same time he has retained his
responsibility This responsible
ity he has abused, and the world
will not be better until man can
use his responsibility with bet
ter honor to himself and the
world. -Justice j. A. Burr.
