The Evening — Publivhed by the Press Publishing Company, No, 63 to 63 Park Row, New York, Pntered at the Post-Office at New York as Second-Clasa Mall Matter, The Bitter Cry. Is it inevitable that sudden wealth should bring about a moral break- down? The recent examples of the Pittsburg steel kings seems to point that way. The Corey divorce brings out this bitter comment from the uncle of the Steel Trust's head: | There was never occasion for putting | such a young man at the head of the | big combine, Fills lost his head there and has wrought h!s own ruln, It was practically the same case with Charlie | Schwab. The man who puts young men in such a position does an irreparable | damage, and this is what Carnegie did It {s often urged that the moral consclousness, in order to be pre-| served needs to be exercised. Some one has said that the only true] repentance is not for evil done but for opportunities neglected—oppor- tunities that were pleasurable rather than moral, It {s hard to behave — especially after a long period of enforced goodness, The man who had the terrapin appetite and the comed-beef salary is) apt to expand if he gets the price, The learned Prof, Brander Mathews, of Columbia University, once remarked that all the things he really IIked were elther “expensive, indi- gestible or immoral.” It fs sad! Is it so? But really, Pittsburg—what {s the matter with Pittsburg? | Nature did much for her. Made her superb site at the head of navi- gation. Trailed to her the mountain watercourses, Broke for her passes eastward through the hills, Filled those hills with fron and coal, Then man took a hand. The Governthent by tariff arranged that afl the rest of us should help Pittsburg with our money, Pillars of fire | by night and smoke by day rose to show where the gnomes of lamp and pick and crucible make wealth for her. Consofldation tums privi- lege into magic “capital” and produces a group of suddén millionaires that dwarf the dreary mining kings of the Rand, What are they good for? Their young men give “beauty dinners” for the contempt of cynical Paris, and their young women barter for the worst specimens of foreign nobility, and their middle-aged folks grow tired of the wives and husbands of their honest youth and poverty and phnge into all manner of folly. Was it worth while for Nature and all the rest of us to do so much for just such a Pittsburg? A Noble Philanthropist. Not until it had the confession from his own lips before the insur- ance, investigating committee was the public aware of the great debt of gratitude it owes Mr, Thomas F, Ryan, . It was to prevent a panic that he bought the Equitable—to save in- mumerable rainy-day fonds and protect litte household hoards which the control of these millions of trust funds by hands less conservative than his would have endangered. Others were ready for selfish considerations to relieve Mr. Hyde of his stock at a price said to be higher than that Mr. Ryan paid for it, But with a spirit of self-sacrifice which does him lasting honor he interfered to defeat their evil designs. ‘The thoroughness of Mr. Ryan's benevolence fs Indicated by the fact that he chose to play the part of public henefactor alone, -He mag- nanimously refused to let Mr. Harriman in, He declined the help of “eertain policy-holders” who stood ready to share the burden, By his own admission he “had no purpose of benefiting himself or his own in- terests.” It was.only that he did not want to give the “others” a chance to use the policy-holders’ millions unscrupulously, It was a supreme act of philanthropy, a glowing deed in an atmos. sn of chicanery, deceit and dishonesty, for which Mr. Ryan merits infinite credit, k helbed htm to buy good cattle to stock our range, and | two thoroughbred English bulls to {m= prove the breed hes in Airizona. 7] fo} ay 7 ° vin eid ae - 7" (Copyright, 1906, by Little, Feown & Co.)y In thore days Palshannen to Sere from Bryant, our e8t neighbor, BLS Whose ri trom Holy Dick heibed hte t ny A Balshannon, who fron bis way to tte up @ maneh, bas been wounded by the Irilans, Cowboys Then he bought ponies bh to hie new ranch, ‘tage he 4 hey find nailed 10,,us and hired Mexican riders, So 1 began Goor a letter signet * ‘we Ryan.” D my bors and his Uttle aon about | writer states that ax Bale! 1: rove ind poniee—the range-riding, driv. | from his home, gee ay | holding of @tock; the roping, utting out; how to fudge ra nd water, to trask, scout | and get meat for the camp, The boss | CHAPTER III, Was too old and eet tn hi a] new play, t Jim had bi At Holy Cross Ranch. | tusinse trom the fea, growing up to DITOR'S NOTE: cow-punching a# though he were The walls of Holy Crome rtve |" the range. stark from the top of a Dillon the| the mare mt Thad to learn them both naked desert: and in ail the enormous the natural clatory of us comer Which {6 sunprising to stranger’ aa length and breadth of this of foriress 7 there is no door or window to Invite at- some prickly, Being thoroughbred stock, tadk.
