UNLOVED

r Y0B0DY loves a millionaire any more, according to Eugene Lim-
~ norman. As such, nobody loves the millionaire, and nobody
ever should have. The age when, as the Cincinnati capitalist
says, "mIlionaires were the popular heroes, the brilliant cxempars
set up for youth to follow" was not a Golden Age. 1t was a Gilded
Age in the sordid and hashy sense of the Twain-Warncr story.
People do not love all milionaires now, because they have learned
how some of them became millionaires. Their fortunes were not
derived by incarnation out Of thin air, but were taken from other
people. They were based on stolen franchises. o n rebates that built
up one man by pulling down a score, on monopoistc cxachons that
artifciany enhanced the cost Of living. on taxdodging that doubled
the burdens of lesser men,. Milionares created by such devices
could be assured of popular affection only where there was com
plaisance equal to that Of the ancient Persian mobiles who thanked
the Great King when he had them logged because he had graciousy
deigned to take note of their existence.
The millionaire, like the person of lesser estate, will have the
regard Of his fellows so long as he makes his money honestly and
spends it decently. Men who do s o are found in every large COM
munity, and an increasing number of rich men are of this class. That
il why there is so little antagonism to wealth, as such, in this country.

PASSERS-BY.

TTHREE small boys fell from a raft into a deep pond at Jamaica,
and failed to come up. A lawyer dived for them. Three
black men working near plunged after him. The boys were
brought up unconscious and taken away in an ambulance, the black
men going along and working over their bodies while the vehicle
sped to the hospital.
The men who risked their lives and spent themselves to help
these lads were strangers. passersby. Every day the passing stranger
is heard from in the stories of our streets. He is the t~ruck-driver
who leaps from a pier-head to save a drowning man. He is the clerk
or mechanic or peddler who serenely faces the most horrible Of
deaths and clubs Or strangles a vagrant swapping dog that is attack
ing children. Three thousand persons have been bitten by dogs here
in the year, and always there was some one, often a stranger, to do
Q deed Of rescue at all peril to himself.
There is more courage. more self-sacrifce in human nature than
II often supposed, and the passer-by declares it. When the moment
Of trial comes he is policeman. fireman, life-guard, doctor-all society
rolled into one. His figure is heroic with the common heritage of
humanity.

knAN1 progressive charity euchres are given here, and mainly
Y women attend them. The reader should underscore in turn
progressive" charity" "euchre' and women" Progress
sve is the opposite of conservative. Charity covers a multi
tude OF sins. Everybody knows what it is TO be euchred, and every
body thinks he knows women, but nobody really does.
These four factors in our equation are all gathered up in a
chance phrase in a conversation between two women overheard on
a street car by a priest interested in a church card party. One of
the two said to the other, 81 suppose that Kitty and have cleaned
up forty big cuchre entertainments in the last year. Their plan,
as further dvulged, was to descend on these functions equipped with
punches, lip signals, marked decks and a prentice hand at card
stacking and carry off the valuable prizes. In the course Of time q
clever woman could almost furnish a fat with them.
No moral is here drawn, and considering the wv the got rich
quick concerns fleece widows with their nefarious projects it is al
most a comfort to find women able to beat some game. There is.
however. a prudential maxim against playing with strangers which
obtains among men, but not among women, doubtless because the
latter bring a higher scruple to the pasteboards.

WAR CLOUD
STILL GROWING.
War Risks Advancing in London.
Conflict Believed Inevitable
Within Two Months.

London, Sept. 12.-Rates of in
surance against a European war
within two months went up here to-
day from 10 to II percent, on ac-
count of the increased tension be-
tween France and Germany.
The French cabinets reported de-
c1sion to. reject Germany:s latest
proposals: is regarded in British Of
ficial circles as perfectly natural;
the Teutonias. .selnands, which are
said to include a specification for
a 80 per cent, share for Germany in
all French public works in Morocco,
being of nature in which it is felt
neither French interest nor self re-
spect could acquiesce.
Among London fnanciers it is
predicted that the Strengthening of
the German markets, following the
slump of Saturday, will give way to
another decline. 1t is in this finan-

land that the greatest hope is seen
here, many of the best judges still
maintaining that the pressure will
ultimately become so severe as to
compel a modification of the Ger
man policy. Reports from
Berlin also indicate today that anti
war agitation by the German Social
lists is becoming too formidable to be
much longer ignored.
Paris, Sept. 12.-The French cabinet
is in session on Premier Caillaux'
answer to Germany's latest Moroccan
proposals. 1t is believed the ministers
will approve the premier's stand,
quietly but firmly refusing the Teutonic
demands.
