THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, OOTOBI3R 28, liK5. 13 1ST FIE 1PLIE! Dr. Stephen S. Wise Arraigns Captains of Industry. RIDICULES THE HERO FUND KabbI Thinks There Is Bather Too Much of the Circus Spirit and Tells Lessons American Nation 'Should liCarn. Speaking on the subject, "What Is Fame," Dr. Stephen S. Wise delivered a scathing arraignment last night at Temple Beth Israel of the much-heralded Cap ta.ns of Industry and heads of the life -surance companies, and In -which ho ridiculed 'the Hall of Fame xf the New York University, characterizing it as "a choice bit of post-mortem snobbery." He pointed the linger of scorn at the men ivho strive for notoriety and fame, and nok occasion to severely criticise Andrew Carnegie. Rarely, if over, has there been delivered in Portland such a strong de nunciation of men In the public eye as that by Dr. Wise last night. He had a large audience, which was deeply Inter est in the brilliant address., He said In part. ' Lo and behold, we have a childish Barnumlstic imitation of the. French Academy, with the only difference that, happily for them, the victims of the Advertising agents of the New York Uni versity are dead, and, as it were, beyond he reach of their champions. In all ser iousness have we not enough of the cir cus spirit in American life and in Ameri can letters, without thus insulting the memories of our truly great men? That tl.e absurdity, the banality, the inanity of this undertaking did not occur to tho projectors thereof Is almost incredible. According to the rules of the shall we say? game, great merchants constitute one class to be included in the Hall of Fame. John D. Rockefeller Is certainly a great merchant, for ho is roputed to sell a very considerable quantity of oil in the course of a year. It may bo that by 1950, Rockefeller's name will be in scribed immediately adjoining that of his contemporary and alphabetical neighbor, Roosevelt. Condemns Hero Fund. "Behind the erection of the Hall of Fame is the Implicit assumption that the greatest thing In the world is fame, when, In truth, the least thing in tho world is fame, and the only thing in the world is duty; the greatest thing in the world is service. Life's posts of honor are the places of duty and of service in every sphere, whatsoever be the station or rank and not only the places that lead to fame. We must be ready to do right and to live aright and to stand by the right and truth, f-.- right's sake and truth's sake; not with a view of being voted into the hall or receiving a modal or a ponslon r.t the hands of that insulting and pat ronizing institution, the Carnogie hero fund. "Parenthetically, et me observe, that 1 m this nothing could bo more cheap ening and belittling of heroism, as if 1 r-oism required recognition or stipu lations as to a reward. If men are to be rewarded for deeds of heroism, let suh reward and recognition come from the hands of the Government, and to from an individual who, in abund-rn"-e of his unaccountable and unac countably acquired possessions, arro gates to his plethoric self the per formance of almost governmental func tions, "What our day needs, heretical though it may sound, is to glorify fail ure. Success, at any cost through haz ard, under every circumstance, is our National deity; hence our captains of Industry, voracious, unscrupulous, ty rannical; honco the presidents of tho three Ue insurance companies which lavo been paradod as the three most successful organizations of their kind 'n the world. When everything is said. I deplore the institution of the Hall of Fame, because It stands for the exter ralization of life, tho glorifying, yes, the apotheosis of the things external to ourselves, fame, success."
