We have come to feel that money- getting is a pursuit beside which all other forms of human activity are secondary and insignificant. THE CASE OF COREY AND A DOZEN OTHER RECENT CASES VERY LIKE IT RECALL US TO THE FACT THAT WEALTH NOT ONLY DOES NOT MAKE THE MAN, BUT OFTEN UNMAKES HIM. In poverty and struggle Ellis Corey was a manly fel- Jow. He and his brave wife shared together toil and anx- fety, happiness and hope. But prosperity is harder to bear for some than poverty. When Corey's millions came they transformed him. The faithful wife was forgotten for a butterfly of the stage. Gilded places of pleasure that open- ed at the clink of his money allured him from his home un- til his home ties atrophied. He sacrificed the joys that en- dure for bright bubbles that have burst as he grasped them. And at last he is involved in a scandal that stinks through- out the land: IF THIS IS SUCCESS, THEN WHAT IS FAIL- URE? The glitter of gold—ah, many has it dazzled and fooled! Many has it blinded to the fact that there is no wealth which counts for true happiness but wealth which lies within, and that in ali the realm of human misery there is Ro poverty so sodden and deadening as poverty of the soul. Joy in mere wealth is a will-o’-the-wisp which no man ever yet caught up with. Many a fool has put his whole “@hergies into the chase after it, following it unceasingly through bogs of selfishness and ma. ¢s of meannesses, only to find out at last that he has long ago left far behind him all that is worth while in life. THE STATELY MANSION,. WITH. ITS RICH ‘CARPETS, ITS RARE PICTURES AND ALL THE LUXURIES AND BAUBLES THAT MONEY BUYS CANNOT MAKE A HAPPY HOME, UNLESS LOVE, FIDELITY AND FAITH ARE THERE. Love and faith and truth are the treasures priceless to any heart. These, in the humblest cottage; these, house- less beneath the bleak sky, buffeted by the storms and lash- ed by. the cruelties of fate; these, shelteriess, starved, nak- ed, make a happy home anywhere. What we love is ours. And there our real possessions yee em Mme at pents of vice will come to our breasts and take up their abode. But to the heart where love is pure, all in the world that is good and sweet flies swift and straight as hom- ing swallows. HE WHO BUILDS HIS “SUCCESS” ALONE, AND FORGETS THESE THINGS, STARVES HIS SOUL. GREATER Roosevelt’s Ready, Are You? thas just spoken his mind to the people, and he lald stress upon gov- @rpment regulation of railroad rates more than upon anything else. ) Always carnest, Mr. Roosevelt in this annual message has argued even emotionally for his remedy against unfair rate discrimination by the railroads. “This government stands for manhood first and for business only &8 an adjunct of manhood,” is the way he sums up his ple more power to correct rate conditions. Although the message was formally a for directed to congress, the people themseives must answer whether they stand for manhood first. If the people don’t, the government doesn't What the president wants to do, in a word, is to stop UNFAIR- NEss.
