Of course, the rich man is enjoying
his wealth. but not always to the de-
basement of self or to the exclusion of
the poor. Only comparative few do
that. But these few should not be-
come the standard by which all are to
be judged Probably never before was
the rich man doing more for the world
than today. Never before was there
as much of democratic fellowship and
sympathy between rich and poor. The
tendency of the times in busin ess and
social intercourse make it so. The
Balamites are woefully in the minor
ity. True values are commonly taken
as the test of manhood. 1t could not
be otherwise in so pragmatic an age.
There is no call for those who as
sumo superior learning to indulge in
the pernicious practice of arraying
class against class, especially in a
country where equal opportunity is tie
slogan of all. Wealth is bad only as it
is misused- To berate the wealthy ir
respective of the use they make of
their wealth can only perplex and con-
fuse the unthinking. The man who is
really looking for a chance to get
along in this country will generally
find the rich man not only an example
of self-made success, but also ready to
take him at his true valuation and give
him chance to make good.-Omaha
