( ment High devotion to this task of fitting not the few, but the many for wholesome living and self-government is one of the rare privilege of mod ern life. To help In this task requires a williugnss ts ?erve snd sn eager ness to pay the p. ice of such service. It dfs not have adequate compensa tion in material, rewards. It requires of most men abo eiitr it that they be willing to remain poor. To live com fortably, even magnificently, with- the body is now a well-nigh national pas sion. A beti.r national id-al would be to live wbU.omely and be glad to give oneself to the getting of those things which have to do with a maulv life. In the midst of our vast mate rial prosperity and consequent luxury our national safety demands a class of men devote! to simple and services able living. While tbia kind of career is not rich in material rVwarJs, It do bring a reward that is among the aweetest frill s of t human tile, thr 4ene of having helped those who need help.

This, I would emphasize is quite a different thing from despis ing wealth or physical well-being.

Pov erty la a cume utle It tit what, aa an- cl-nt Ktiglifth p-t called "glad pov erty." Tbe right attittide towards the owners of InduKtrlal properties Is especially emw-tttial. The many re formers and welfare workers become completely out of sympathy with the employers of labor. There are, tt In sure, maniifacturera who have no concern for n.lil operatives; but I believe that rnont of the manufac hirers of this region are in sympathy with their employes; and welfare workers hare, if they are to succeed must help to produce an even better adfusitnent b.-tseen the employer and the employe. The manufacturer who does not regard the Interest) of the laborer as well as the Interests of the stockholder Is a selfish rapl tallst. And the welfare worker who does not regard the Interests of the stockholder as well as the Interests of tbe laborer 'Is at heart an Irre sponsible demagogue. Tbe selfish cspltallNt and the Irresponsible rlma gogne are tso of our great national perils. The M-jfiubness of the one Intensifies the ,reck lessness of the other. And becimM of the extreme radicalism of the demagogue the conservative ownr of property often resists efforts to Improve the condi tion of the laborer and resists re forms that would be useful to him self, fo his employes, and to society In general. Had labor conditions and bad legislation governing Ichor "line, I think, from extreme radi calism and titlra-conservatlsm. Wel fare methods and legislation avert ing capital and labor ought to lie the result of the best wisdom of the Irne reformer and welfare worker who respect the Interests wf the Stock holder on the one hand and of the capitalist who respect the Interest of the laborer on lite other hand, the two co-operating together (or tha t , NECK D1H-III WHEEL CARL ARlt"IF.Ln KILLED IN PC (ILIIR XtmK WHILE I .MtiK IMLI EX E OF WIIISKET.
