Martin entitled The Morality of the Idle Rich published in the
September number of Hearst's Magazine.
MIR Martin KNOWS the idle rich he is related many of
them has struggled hard and perssteny NOT TO BE ONE
OF THEM.
What MIR Martin has to say about the scum that floats idly

the rich fail luckily in their effort make unnecessary for
their descendants.
