VIEWPOINTS
Two Views of Mr.. Carnegie.

Editor the MiSSourian:-'Th aim of
and thus avoid disgrace" writes An
drew Carnegie in recent number of
Golfers. Mr.. Carnegie further says
his observations have taught him that
it is not well for children 20 be bur
dened with the fortunes of their par
ents-that the highest use of a great
fortune is in public work and serv-
ice for mankind.
This is a rather singular statement
coming from the king of American
finance, whose own daily income is
reckoned in millions. Yet the asser-
ton is worthy of thoughtful consider
alton.
Mr.. Carnegie is right. Unfortunate
indeed is the young man who finds
at his disposal large fortune in the
creation of which he has had no part
He is deprived of training which no
mere fortune can supplant Rich
mems sons rarely make good business
men, just as the sons Of famous
artists, musicians or literary men sell
dom reflect their fathers abilities. In
the environment of the youth with
scanty means at his disposal there is
laid a basis for the development of
initiative and self reliance, those two
qualities so necessary to the success
full business man. The millionaire's
son is denied these.
No American is better qualified to
advise young men as to the essentials
of business success than Mr.. Carnegie.
His own rise from telegraph opera
tor on meager salary to the head
of the largest system of iron and steel
works in the world has been phenom-
enal. and in the process he must have
learned something about the game we
call business. At any ra e he has not
| forgotten the way by which he climbed
up, but recognizes and values the
training which he received in the
rough school of experience.
| While Mr. Carnegie's theory as to
the distribution of wealth may be no
indication of a general benevolent ten
dency on the part of the other Amer,
lean financiers just now, yet it is sig
nificant as showing the trend of public
thought toward a more liberal view
of life and a kindlier interest in man
kind, which may pave the way for a
more equitable division of wealth.

Editor the NIissourian: Andrew
Carnegie says, in the last issue OF
Golfers Weekly that the distribution
of wealth by milliOnaires for libraries
schools, art galleries and so on is the
true antidote for the present poor
distribution of wealth. All rich men,
ne says, should die poor.
He further says that the acquisi-
ton of wealth should remain in its
present unrcgulatcd state, and bases
that statement on another which has
been overworked among those who
would ease the conscience of our mil
lionaires; namely. that our rich men
are the custodians or trustees of the
Nations wealth.
Now it may be that our wealth is
better taken care of in the hands of
our milliOnaires than it would be if
we were directing its use. But Mr..
Carnegie is getting we'll along in
years, so we are beginning to worry
lest we do not receive in public works
all our wealth which he has been ad-
ministering for us. From all indica-
ions we are led to believe that Mr..
Carnegie may die an immoral man,
convicted by his own philosophy. For
according to his article, a man who
dies rich is immoral.
Moreover, when we remember some
Of Mr.. Carnegie's methods of assum-
ing trusteeship over our wealth We
ire especially concerned about its re-
turn. We cant forget the water Mr..
Carnegie has sold to u.s.

would make production more efficient

about baseball with three others who

Why? Because men in congenial

There is a shop in Chicago which
employs a man to study the char

them placed in cOngenial groups. The
management puts him in the COM

J. Otis Adams, who, with Mrs.

The others are, as is well known, T.

r. B. Gruelle, often included, is not,
strictly speaking, a member of this
aggregation of artists.
Since Gruelle paints after a differ

Gruelle, also, has separated himself
from the art life of the state, for sew

Connecticut.
Adams, Steele, Forsyth and Stark
were originally followers of the Mum
ich school Of painting as their earlier
artistic experiences were acquired
abroad, the first three Of these art
lists living for a number of years in
various European centres, but chiefly
in Munich.
After their return they, for brief
period, carried on the traditions OF
the Munich academies.
But finally adopted certain canons
of the impressionists, and, adapting
these to their peculiar locale and en-
viron, created a style and method
which has differentiated them from
| their contemporaries and established
precedent which has been followed
| by a later generation of Hoosier art
lists.
Adams has a certain personal quail
ity not possessed by either Steele
or Forsyth.
Who are more purely technicians
story-tellers in paint.
In other words, Adams is more tenn
peramental.
Forsyth, as has often been com
mented upon here, is more a virtuosc
of the palette than an artist.
For his art either ignors or lack:
the pictorial quality.
And Steele's later work is inclined
to be prosaic. The sparkle and tant
