This newspaper hopes for labor union victory and means to help it
along, BECAUSE THE PUBLIC WELFARE DEMANDS IT.
TO-DAY'S WORLD-STRUGGLE
Far off in the distance shines the goal of present human
ambition.
It is a shining, golden light. Toward that light the millions
struggle, trampling each other, sacrificing everything in the
harsh fight for the dollar.
Here and there a preacher thunders, here and there a philosopher
proses against the money struggle. But they might as well
whisper at the brink of Niagara. And often the preacher changes
his thundering when a RICH church calls him, often the
philosopher grasps the first chance to forget philosophy in Wall
Street.
The men admired to-day are the men who have made millions--some
are admired because they find excitement in giving the millions
away, others because they silently pile more millions upon the
others already gained.
"Society," the class devoted to pleasure, consists now, in
America, of those who have much money.
Literary success depends upon the money which the writer
accumulates.
The man talked about is he who has SOLD a hundred thousand
books.
The rich boy at school is followed by toadies. In college he
learns contempt for human nature from the sycophancy of others.
