incredible contrast with the attitude
of the older generation which seemed
to find the word service" mental
and debasing condition.
1t is not so many years ago that If
one were to mention to the casual
stranger that his avocation was giving
service" he was Immediately classed
as a subordinate and was many times
considered to be a social inferior.
Within the past few years, however,
a great change has taken place in the
meaning usually given to service. y
and it has become now a term proudly
applied by men in all walks of life
to their business, particularly to the
manner in which their business is
conducted, for the benefit of the con-
sumner.
Rarely in the twentieth century do

One of the leading and best known
hotel systems in the country has pub

ployes, Code of Ethics" by which,
they deem their success in business
has been attained. 1t is noticeable In
reading this code. that no attempt is
made by the employer to class his
employee as a servant in the sense
with which the word was formerly
used. but on the contrary. the code
impresses upon each of them the fac,
that he is a vital factor in the success
of the business, and while not all busi-
ness houses have printed on their

the abundance Of things possessed.
Now these greater aims are ac-
complished, we must get back to
the making Of a surplus if the
community is to enjoy it's former
prosperity permanently.
In the earliest times it was seen
clearly enough that no man would
create a surplus unless he was
secured IN the possession and en-
joyment Of it when made. The
oldest codes Of law provide for
this "Thou shalt not steal" is
not only sound morals but prac-
tical economics. The mark Of
Western civilization is that it
has, century by century, improved
the relations of men to one an
other in society. Formerly, the
good old rule" was
They shall take who have the
And they shall keep who can.
But this "simple plan" as the
poet called it, kept society poor
as well as individuals. To-day,
If man filched a turnip out of
peasants barn, the whole force
of society would come down on
him, through the local police
court, to teach him better social
conduct. SO ingrained is this
feeling now that in q modern
mining camp" where men will
drink and dice with a murderer,
they will combine in a moment to
hunt down a thief.
The aim Of true socia, reform
ls to bring to greater perfection
these two world-old causes of the
growth Of wealth; that is (D to
make it easier for all who will to
make surplus: and GU to Sc
cure them in undisturbed enjoy
ment Of it. Plans which ignore
the need for a surplus and the
need for the security are doomed
by the nature Of things to be
disastrous.

II.-The ORIGIN Of Wealth

When the Bible tells US that
Mordecai sought the wealth Of
ms people" it does not mean that
ne tried TO steal their property,
bat that he diligently endeavored
To promote their welfare. Wealth
was once broader and, we may
admit, { nobler word than it is
today. II once meant welfare,
II now means the material goods
winch secure to US one particular
KIND OF welfare. Wealth does not
ensure welfare. but welfare is
difficult to all men ana impossible
to most without some measure Of
wealth.
1t is one Of The most difficult of
the economists tasks to measure
the wealtn OF q nation. For very
important; reasons 1t Is now neces~
sary 10 have the most exact estl-
mate of the wealth Of Germany,
but It Is obvious to anyone that
there are very great differences
o. opinion on the matter. We can
see clearly enough that national
wealth is subject to variation.
No one would DENY, for example,
that England to-day is weather.
than Spain, whereas in Queen
Llizabeth's time Spain was
weather. than England. Simi-
larly, 1t is quite clear that Eng
Land is to-day very much wealth
ier than she was In 1000, or in
400, or in 1900.
In 1889 Sir Robert GTfen, a
great authority, estimated the
wealth Of the United Kingdom at
910.000,000 900, or 9270 per head.
He quoted from earlier writers
an estimate Of the wealth of Eng
land in 1900 as 100000, CT
G22 per head. That was as far
back as he could go, but we can
in our minds eye trace it right
back to the misty times before
history begins, and the further
back we go the smaller we find
mans accumulated stock Of wealth
was and the feebler was his hold
on life Itself. AL men were once
