COMMERCIALISM RECENERATES
 IDLERS

NEW YORK, Nov 29.-The Green wich Villager, dabbling in art for arts sake. is overlooking a one best bet.
 Far from being a menace, the com mcrcial spirit of the age holds the key to the riddle of spiritual well-being.' '
 So says the American Exchange Ma tional Bank, which, in it's current monthly letter, forsakes the dry field of finance to pay it's respects to the young ladies and gentlemen who spend their time about cellar tea tables, de- nouucing the ways of commerce.
 "In fact" ayers the bank, If it weren't for the commercial instincts of someone gone before, those young people might be grubbing for their own living instead of discussing art The dissertation continues:
 WHEN WAR WAS MAIN JOB
 Tn the days when war was the chief occupation of nations the warrior na- turally held the mere trader in con tempt. and as he usually profited from war the trader did not object. Later at the beginning of the modern eco homie system, the heirs of the warrior class were still in possession of large land holdings, which the economists of the day sought to justify upon the ground that leisure class was needed as medium for the transmiGs'Cn of culture to the next generation, to carry on the traditions of the race and to bear forward the fruits of progress and civilization.
 Tn a degree these economists were right, the leisure class of that day, di- rectly or indirectly, did not only in 1 large part recover the culture of past ages, but they also erected new cul. , ture and raised new standards which ] they bore gloriously forward. stand, ards which have elevated the entire human race. standards upon which the superstructure of modern civilization is firmly set.
 OUR OWN AGE IS GREATEST Our distinguished predecessors were also responsible for much foolish, ness for which we must excuse them, as they also were members of the human race. But they were rarely guilty of the foolishness of living in the past. They were seldom found going back to the cave men for stand ards with which to measure their con temporaries.
 Our own age is the greatest of any of which we know that the world has even seen, and commercialism has made 1t what it is, the commercialism has applied the wisdom of the ages toward the improvement and the wei. ! fare of all mankind And furthermore, unless it miserably passes its oppor- tunit;cs by, commercialism will even tually solve the riddle of spiritual well-bcing.
 Except that the enthusiasm it in vokos is rarely genuine. there is no objection to the pursuit of art as a diversion fnr those who are not artists, provided they do something to earn their leisure in which to carry on the pursuit Loaring on uncarncd money is an economic crime The son of the rich man is no more entitled to leisure than the son of the poor man. Wealth in the hands of the individual is q trust which cannot rightfully be employed in support of idleness. The modern code requires that every man shall make his own contribution to society, and that is one of the canons
 that are leading commcrcialism to- ward the spiritual regeneration of the race"
