Why, it asks, con- abatrate ‘on the poor alone? People while poverty may give more liar “pathological reactions,” the ‘snake dance and the monkey din- ner give rise to ‘“‘psychoses,”” which is the medical jargon for various kinds of mental idiosyncrasies more -or less serious. The only question is whether so- eiety ought to feel too much respon- sibility in the case of the million- aire. He has leisure and means and every opportunity to inform himself as to what is good for him. If 2 ss to avail himself of the op- portunity, he may fairly come under Neitzsche! s definition of a decadent, i.e., a person who is invariably -drawn to what is bad for him as the vegetarian is attracted by the cab- bage. Whether nature’s weeding out process ought not to be -couraged rather than retarded in such cases is still an open question. ° B Seriously, however, there is much} . to be said for the follies of the very rich. It can be argued that their follies keep the aristocracy virile in every age, and only when they are put aside as too troublesome does fi the aristocracy decline and fall. The knight kept himself fit by couching a lance in the jousts when the in- finitely finer sport of war wasn’t to be had. The millionaire of to-day —his son, at all events—keeps him- self up to the mark and his mettle fine by risking his valuable neck in aeroplanes, sixty horse power mo- tors, and racing yachts, not to men- tion the market pit, which is at least as delightfully perilous for an apoplectic person as the Spanish bull ring. It is a law of life: Noth- ing risked, nothing gained, and there is little evidence so far that the millionaire is failing to take “gladly his share of the risks. Seen eae The son of the author of ‘‘The Scarlet Letter” writes in a period- ical published in the penitentiary, where he is now serving a term for the misuse of the mails, recommend- “‘modifications’” in the cation, crite ercets, and high ring ‘offences Ss have been in a manner created by the newborn scruples of lawmakers and the subtle distinctions of public prose- eutors.”” for ‘ Probably the men and women who _ are out of pocket through this gen- tleman’s offence will not appreciate this appeal. A correspondent -sug- gests that ‘“‘a conscience with a col- lege education” is no more sensitive than any other conscience. It is also fair to add that if ‘‘good edu- cation, gentle breeding, and high intelligence’? do not keep a man’s hand out of other people’s pockets, ‘it is late to use them in the peni- tentiary as grounds for special con- sideration. In fact, the clemency of this generation extends rather more readily to the man who errs lacking the support of education, breeding, and intelligence, than to the man who abuses those advantages. Perhaps the gentlemen now Jan- guishing in penal confinement be- cause they were caught separating their crude’ and unintelligent fel- low men from their money in a well bred and highly intelligent way ought to be fed canvasback an champagne at the expense of the state.
