THE MAN WHO WAS RICH
A Pen Picture by E. C.. Enrich


We sat together in the great red
tiled library of the rich mans sum-
mer home. The dampness of an early
autumn evening had drawn us to the
wood fire glowing on the hearth. My
host sat leaning back in his carved
antique chair; the room, I think, is
"done" in early Italian. am not
certain, as such matters of interior
direction always confuse me. But I
do remember how startled I was, as
looked upon him sitting there with
the flames throwing quivering
shadows upon his shaggy head and
short white beard, at the resemblance
he bore. to Rembrandt's painting Of
a Jewish merchant of other days. His
were the regal bearing and the con-
seriousness of well-earned authority,
the half defiant pose of the head, the
long, aristocratic hands. And above
all did his eyes take me and hold
me, for like those of the merchant
prince of the painting they were filled
with somber dignity, WEAKNESS
strangely pathetic and appealing.
Today" said my friend, speaking
slowly, to-day I was home"
"Home?" echoed, puzzled.
He did not look at me, but gazed
into the glowing logs, smiling little
eyes, home. l was in the projecting
room of our place (did I mention that

did want to see the little place where
I was born, where my father taught
and died. My mother is buried there,
too. I am glad I sent my camera men
over when did; I've heard that dur
ing the war the place was just wiped
off the map-like this"
One of the long aristocratic hands
described sweeping gesture; then
fell YEARLY into his lap. "But they

"Does one regret being born?" he
answered whimsically. "My father
used to tell me Of an old rabbi who
whenever he was unfortunate always
said: This also is for good I re-
gret nothing-but that does not mean
that am happy. Yes, know what
you are thinking of, although you are
too polite to contradict me-" His
deep eyes roved over the luxurious
room, returned to rest somberly up
on my face. "You looked out Of the
window as I spoke; no doubt, you
admired my estate, my view of the
Hudson. It is beautiful, isn't it?

dinner with me last month. Such
things do compensate one for having
money-especially as flatter myself
that I know little bit about what
I'm buying; don't buy books to match
the walls of my library and pictures
Just because I like the frames. Like
some of our millionaire art patrons.
yes, I've learned little about pic
lures and books, considering my
cheder education and the fact that l
didn't see picture until I was al
most fourteen"
"That must make you feel all the
richer now with your wonderful art
collection"
He shook his head. T'm too much
of Jew to find all my happiness in
beauty-the revenge of all my starv-
ing ancestors, scholars and rabbis, for
deserving the ranks to become COM

tion when I was younger. was
great dreamer of dreams in those
days. But as one grows older one
stops dreaming and looks upon the
truth"
He folded his long hands, stirred
restlessly in his carved antique chair.
81 began to wonder what my money
was worth when my wife died." he
said suddenly. "She was still "a
young woman; she went out like
that" his slender fingers sharply
shifting his palm. 81 sent for the
greatest specialists in the country;
1 hired the most skillful nurses; per-
haps no queen has received more
careful attention than they gave
her." He was silent for moment.
Then, his voice heavy with bitter
ness, "She died, but the wife Of a
Jewish migrant undergoing the same
operation in a free ward of the hos
pital lived. After that I wondered
what money was worth-but l kept
on making it."
"But money can buy other things"
I urged. "Yours has made your name
a household word all over the country.
Every American Jew knows of the
hospitals you have endowed in your
wife's memory, your donations to our
Jewish institutions, how you were one
of the biggest contributors, to the
fund for the Jewish war sufferers. 1t
must mean great deal to know how
grateful we all are to you-how much
you're respected"
His eyebrows arched satirically.
"Gratitude? Now you are laughing
at me. Don't you suppose I know
that even when people gasp at my
donations, they say, 1T seems a lot
of money to give to charity, but I
bet he doesn't feel it. It's easier for
him to give thousand than for me
to give dollar Or half of his
charity is given for Advertising No
I'm not seeking for gratitude. And

hard edge, his hands gripped the
carved arms of his antique chair.

Work more
Produce more
NQUe more

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless, we continue increasing
our railroad facilities
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products.
Railroads are now near the peak Of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion-more en-
gineS, more cars, more tracks, more ter
minaIs-there can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow Of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and SO increase production
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of rallu.ds
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow
