Entered at the Post-OMce at New York as Becond-Clase Mall Matter, sae sca oe ox THE MONEY, THE DIVISION, THE HEIRS. Balzac, who ranks as one of the two greatest students of }liuman nature, once said that the three subjects that people most liked to read about were money, woman and wickedness, The | millions which Tho World laid before the publie Saturday morning, in advance of its distressed contemporaries, is therefore doubly in- It was a story of money. It was also a story of woman. At first glance $72,500,000 seems like an enormous sum. And it is an enormous sum absolutely, But relatively it is small both as wealth and as power, In the old days of agricultural fortunes, when brains rapre- sented little or no wealth, when the rich man was a power because he was rich, the pos seasor of a fortune of $72,500,000 would have been a tremendous power, the head of a vast army, a man like Wallenstein, who made emperors tremble and levied war out of his private purse upon half of Europe. In those days the man of mill- oe ee WHAT DORKS MONEY REALLY MBAN NOWADAYS re But wealth iy signifieant only as it can be translated into power, And how much power is there in $72,500,000, chiefly in- vested in railroads? Very little when you study the matter out. A man with $72,500,000 is not $72,500,000 strong but rather $72,500,000 weak. He must conduet himself with the greatest care, He must spend anxious dayy and sleepless nights. He must rise when his master—his millions—bids him, He must toil until it reluctantly releases him for the day, He must be watehful, eon: ciliatory, conservative, To must fight hard to maintain a shred of freedom or even of real character, He may not think or act as a man, but as the slave of a heartless tyrant. [He cannot wield these millions as he wills, He must wield them as they will or they cease to exist, Nor is he free to expend their income, The Inrgest part of it--all, in fact, but a mero fraction—is taken before anything reaches him. The thousands on thousands of persons who divide the real ownership with him, his fellow-workers in the administration And Nett e ne eee tee NOT MASTER DUT SLAVE oF MANY MILLIONS, peoeeweeweeee) of those millions, must first be paid, then ho gots his portion, It looks like a big sum. But He has to keep up a certain atyle of living, Tis sons and daughters must be maintained in a certain way, ILis position com pels him to contribute various sums to various enterprises, A thousand and one devils, called “fixed charges,” fall upon his frac And when they have eaton their fill he finds not much more han enough left to provide him with a little pocket money whieh he hus neither the time nor the strength to spend, There may be dangers in large accumulations of wealth. But certiinly none of these dangers is in the personal power of the in dividual who is the head slave of the accumulation. tion, | Ihe bulk of this 872,500,000 was divided into six unequal $7,000,000 for the seeond gon, $8,500,000 for the eldest 7,600,000 for the eldest eon, the son and the younger daughter; 82,000,000 (and a life income of $250,000 4 veur) for the widow, parts ferenmeronocenenonorones (1iliehte', AR UN youngest CANT DIVISION AMONG TIEn vanitiow that had grown up about it remained.
