A DANGEROUS ELEMENT

“In tims of stress the most danger-
ous person in the public life of any
country is the man of great wealth.
He has been so accustomed to a life
of luxury and to the gratification of
every personal whim ,that he is not
prepared for anything else. In a cri-
; his mind becomes panicky or des.
pondent and he throws. himself upon
the mercy of others, and, as a last
resort, frequently commits suicide. He
looks upon wealth as the only thirg
worth living for; and, if he cannot
continue to have wealth he would just
as soon die, It is the heathen philo-
sophy we so often hear expressed by
men of great wealth.

The men of great wealth in the Un-
ited States proved their helplessness
in the spring of 1933, when they came
on the run to Washington imploring
President Roosevelt to help them.
They had carried their exaction too
far. They had robbed the industriss
and the homes of the people to the
point of exhaustion.
