Ifthe people had the surplus
wealth of the country instead OF
allowing it to be piled up into
great private fortunes, would the
country be better off? 1t has al
ways been contended by those
who have that to divide it with
those who have not would be
of no benefit or advancement to
mankind. that private wealth is
necessary to the initiation and
institution of great enterprises
demanding much capital. This
may be so as long as those en-
terpriSes are to .remain as pri-
vate institutions and sources of
private profit, but 1t is not true
when the question reaches the
issue of real public interest and
welfare. The great enterprises
like the Panama Canal, the re
elimination of the desert areas of
the West, the contining of the
flood waters Of the great rivers
are feasible and pushed to sue
cess only when the people sup
ply the means, even though it be
out of their present poorly pro
vided purse. The argument
that the more money You give
the masses the more they will
spend in riotous living and use
less frivolities is a fallacy. While
perhaps one man in ten may
prove spendthritt there is no
trait in human nature more deep
ly and inherently engrafted than
the trait of saving, and this char
acts-istic as far more apparent
among the co..I.s2 peolpe than
among the so-calleu Glasses
This tendency is instructive rath-

saves from his earnings for the

All the Baptists of Chattanooga are
unanimous in their anticipation OF the
coming laymen's convention and they
are making big preparations to give
their visiting brethren. both ministers
and laymen, a hearty welcome, the
memory OF which will last long after
