HAD MILLIONS, BUT NO HOME
AS in John w. Gates Case, It Would
Seem That 'ioGern Financiers
Have Their Choice.

There is something sadly signifi-
can't in the statement that the funeral
of John W. Gates was held from a
hotel.
The man who was willing to "bet a
million" was borne TO his grave from
a New York hostelry, and the world
saw the last OF the most extraordi-
nary figure the realm of finance has
produced in many decades.
Perhaps it may be accepted as a
truism that the man who cares for
money, and its speedy making, more
than for anything else in the world,
is the man who must go through the
world homeless, as surely as Philip
Nolan went through the world coun-
tryless.
The making Of mammoth, swift for
tunes is incompatible with the build
ing of the home. To have money, cas-
lily won, means that the home has
lost its charm-its very character.
The hotel and the train and the for
eign land each becomes an irresist-
ibie lure. To the gambler his parlor;
the home is only for those who have
learned, through troubled toll, what
the home means and is worth.
This law works, perhaps, as a
means of equalizing things. For the
big gambler not only destroys his own
home, but the homes of thousand
poor 1t is the gambler on a big scale
who creates the howell and the ghetto
and the places where the poor must
abide. When one class Of men strug.
gle for high stakes, there is not
enough money to go around.
Mr.. Gates had his merry compan-
tonships, his changing scenes, his
feasts, his excitements But did he
not pay all too high a price for them,
seeing that at the very end he was
without home?-St. Louis Times.
