GARLAND ADVANCES SOMEWHAT
UNUSUAL REASON FOR R»
- NOUNCINQ LEGACY.
CONDEMNS MONETARY SYSTEM
t . "System Which Starvss Its Thousands
Whils Hundreds Are Stuffed
Condemns Itsslf."
Buzzards Bay, Mass.—Charles Oar
land, the young man who renounced
bis right to a mIH ton-dollar legacy left
him by his Gather, James A. Garland,
who was a wealthy club man and
yachtsman of boston, made a formal
statement of his reason for rejecting,
his money. His statement, he eald>,
was due to the fact Uat the many re
port* of his failure to accept the feg
acy had failed properly to present his
position.
"I refuse to accept the money be
cause it Is not mine," was young Oar
land's summary of this action. "A sys
tem which starves thousands while
t and reds are stuffed condemns itself.
A system which Isavee a sick woman
helpless and offers its services to a
healthy man condemns Ksetf. It is
such a system that offers me a mil
lion dollars," be continued.
It Is blind to the sknptest truth
known to erery child, the truth that
the hungry should be fed and thl na
ked clothed."
