THE SHOW AND THE SUBSTANCE
or SUPERIORITY.

m the February ScrIbner's Prof. J..
Lawrence Lauglin. writing on Women
and Wealth, aays a number Of things
with reference to our present civiliza-
tion that may well give us pause, at
least for a moment or SO.
While Prof Iauglin's theme confines
him 10 the particular forms in which
the acquisition Of wealth affects the
female portion OF the race. his re.
marks are equally applicable 70 the
man tribe.
Let us remember that the terms
wealth. "riches" and the like are
relative. Wealth doesn't necessarily
mean millions: the wealthy man in
any community Is merely the one who
possesses more than the average oiti
zen Comparatively speaking. the
rich man in small western commu-
nifty would be pauper on Fifth ave
nue among the Vanderbilt set
Prof. Lauglin finds that the desire
for distinction Is one Of tho first and
most obvious phenomena, which has
appeared again and again in past his
tory-one, too, which is founded deer
in human nature" In primitive so
clety as well as in later times nc
sooner did persons acquire wealth OF
power than they wished some distinc
tion to indicate that they We're su
perlor to others. Accordingly they
built fine chateaux and palaces, wore
more costly and SNOWY raiment and
accumulated stores Of such luxurie:
as table linins, napkins and the like
and thereby they established &
smart set"
The same story has been repeated
in every age
"Our so-called smart society differ
entiafes itself from others largely By
forms, usages, and expenditures ii
which only few can participate
Without great wealth a certain sor
Of exclusiveness is impossible; hence
sooner or later, new wealth--even 4
the vulgarity Of its first possessorl
debars them for time-gives to thu
second or third generation the salts
faction Of exclusvencss based on th'
power to buy what others cannot ai
ford"
And herein is found the essence o

the modern aristocracy, which SO
many are madly striving to break in
TO. The fine birds in it are simply
those who possess the means for ac-
quiring fine feathers. Hear Prof.
Langlin a little further:
"The affectation OF superiority by
those who have little intelligence but
great eagerness for social position is
often accepted as real when it takes
the form Of critical condescension to
those about them 1t is this claim to
counterfeit superiority because OF
the possession Of wealth which has
come to be one Of the commonest
characteristics Of large class Of
American women Of today. Without
titles and manor-houses, the demo
cratic society of today Is weakly re-
peatlng the history OF earlier ages,
when privileged classes assumed the
marks Of distinction based on power. "
How the possession OF wealth can
stamp one with any sort OF superiority
except exceptional shrewdness in the
tricks Of trade is more than we have
been able to figure. In many In.
stances, as, for example, inheritances
or mere chance, II does not even i'm
ply superior business ability. And
yet ali over this broad land this tribe
Of fools. with their assumed superiority
are putting on such shows that weak
minded persons are actually deluded
into thinking 1t real--so genuine does
II appear that multitudes OF men and
women are actually miserable because
they can't get into the play. We
hardly know which to pity most, those
who have already attained this coun,
terfeit superiority or those who are
striving for 1t. We need to rid our
selves OF this false standard OF value
and to recognize and seek after only
the superiority which intellectual ant
moral worth confers. We need to dis
criminate between the show and trap
pings Of distinction and The real sub
stance OF superiority. When we dC
this we she'll have arrested a goot
portion Of the tendency TO revert K
the luxuries and follies that sappet
the strength OF the older societies ant
shall have started on the way to ;
higher civilization.
