SUCCESSFUL ONE IS RARE flfcted Speaker Asserts That Majority of Millionaire's Sons Are Failures i and Should, Without Excep- tion, Be Pitied. CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-" Along with the ether social settlement in Chicago, let us orea a settlement on the South Side for the benefit of the millionaires' sons. Most of these rich young men are fail ure. The successful one. as we count isueceas, is the exception. It seems to me that the rich are to be pitied." Thus spoke Dr- Emil G liirn' of Sinai temple in an address las-t night at the dedicatory exercises of the New Maxwell street Jewish settlement, at Twelfth and Clinton streets. Dr. Hirsch asserted that the charitable acts 'of rich men were effort in many ces to compel the administration of their friends. He emphasized the necessity of true philanthropy in settlement work nd not mere charity on the part of the rich who sek to secure praise fori . . i their own selfish enjoyment. It is a privilege for the rich to have the chance to contribute to an inti tution of this kind." said Dr. Hirsch. "and when the founders of it allowed men to turn over to it dead money to become a power for good they were do ing those rich men a favor. Charity as the word is known today, is only a bribe on moneyed men to make a com munity forget the wrongs heaped upon it Charitable people give money so that they may appear in the guise of benefactor. In place of the word charity let us substitute the word philanthropy. This is the better word. It means the love of mankind, not simply charity for mankind. It is this spirit that has moved the founders of all settlements. As a matter of fact, the people of the Ghetto here are often superior to the residents of the avenues and boule vards.

Adjournment w then taken JOHN SEGALOS: HERO! The Railway and Murine News has the. following editorial regarding the latest stunt of John Slgaloa, "Hero of the Valencia," who lias entered the rank of vaudeville performer i Webster gives this definition of a hew: "A person of distinguished or extraordinary valor or enterprise t a kind of demi god, offspring of a divlue and a human being. The heroes were mortal, but after death were admitted snung the gods." Does John Segalo. Oicek fireman, come under this interpretation t Hardly. If he were a real hero he would act like one, notwihstanding the fact that nature did not endow him wih the brain of hi illimtrloiu race. In agreeing to swim ashore from the Va lencia he thought only of saving hla own life, and it was not until someone aboard the doomed ship suggested that he take a line in his attempt to reach shore that his dull brain evolved the thought that he would he pulled bek hould the attempt fail. He jumeJ overboard -nd struck boldly out. He I a strong swimmer, the greater portion of his life having been passed, and it is there he has risen by degree until he has attained the proud position of fireman and hero. He was a pigmy in the arms of thoe mighty wave, and when he realized he could not make shore, he remembered the line that would drww him back to the ship a live hero, and give him another opportunity in urnni whifh he did later on tiir raft, and was picked up by the Tope.
