A WORTHLESS OPINION.
P oor Uncle Bussell Sage ha« sue-
teeded in drawing down upon his
hoary head more abuse and criticism
through his ill-timed and wholesale
Condemnation of vacation than gen
erally falls to the lot of the average
hian in a life time. Hardly a news
paper in the country but what lias
proceeded to show the old man that
When he attacked the sacred vaca
tion custom ha stirred up a veritable
hornet's nest.
it is not the least bit likely that
the grilling process the press has put
him through will make bun «.verve
the slightest from the even tenor of
his ways of drudgery and grinding.
During his career as a financier and
Juggler with other people’s belong
ings, some bitter pills have been
served him uncoated by the public
press, but, as far as any one knows.
Uncle Sage has remained the same
Uncle Sage, criticism ind vitupera
tion notwithstanding.
The general wave of indignation
that his latest utterance has sent
bounding, is breaking hi<rmles-ly
about hl» scheming old head. The
outburst against him is doubtless in
spired mainly by altruism and good
sense, though an undercurrent ol
self interestedness with a most nut-
Ural desire for selfprotection, may
be detected. Had Mr. Sago given
expression to the identical sentiment
Six months later, say in the month
Of November, it would have attrac
ted scant attention. But now, right
st the.tlme when every overworked
quill pusher in the country Is keep
ing his optics glued to the calendar
’Watching for his vacation date, the
statement must arouse the wrath of
the whole clan. Most every one
able to hold a pen—and some who
were not—have been drafted into
service to refute with logic, scorn,
ridicule, abuse and all the numerous
Weapons handy to the scribbler, Mr.
Sage’s shameless deprecation ot the
toys and benefits of vacation. Schol
ars and aitisaiis, merchant princes
and train conductors, everybody has
been given a chance to take a fling
St the old man.
But no one has stopped to Inquire
Why all this hubbub should be raised
because of Mr. Wage's opinion. Only
the man who has reached a full mea
sure of success in life has the right
ts lay down to his fellowmen a cer
tain rule of living. The babbling of
others is unworthy of attention. Ho
then, whether there is any value in
Mr. Sage’s opinion on vacations or
anything rise worth while, outside
the “bearing” and “bulling” of the
stock market—and who shall say
that Is worth while at all—depenils
solely upon his being n successful or
ail unsuccessful man. The f ct that
herd has so extensively been paid
to his latest utterance would lead to
the natural inference that he is al
most universally cotisideted a sue-
i cessful man.
Is it then true that the amassing
'of millions is hi this country uyuon-
! ymous with success? Does Russel
Sage represent any type of «nece«s
I in the broad and true sense of the
word? Has he ever been a producer
of wealth? lie has handled millions
in railroad stock, blit has he ever
accompllsned anything besides en
riching his own coffers? Has lie
opened up any new country to the
benfitsof civilization and commerce
t>y the building of railroads? Has he
out of Ids many millions raised any
monument to his life, looking at
which future generations may bless
his memory? Where is his success?
No. we have not yet become soul
less mammon worshipers. We are
inclining that way, however, and
the danger signals are clear enough
tor the most obtuse to see. The duty
of ttie press does plainly not lie in
ignoring this trend, much less In en
couraging it, even though in the neg
ative way of attacking liis opinion.
'I lie ah-importance ol wealth, how
ever obtained and ii < waver used, is
a poisonous doctrine instilled in the
mind of the youth by a press guilt
ily ignorant of its duty and respons
ibility. The ideal of successful man-
licod is not measured by a stick, the
graduating marks o’ which are $ $.
Let us measure success with a
truer, saner rule and then declare
' from a genuine, inward conviction
that Mr. Sage, or Mr. Jay Gould, or
Mr. Rockefeller, or any of their ilk,
never did nor ever will stand for
what we believe is THE .SUCCESS
FUL M a N.
Ergo, Mr. Sage’s opinion on vaca
tions ia worth nil .
A UNANIMOUS cry is going up
from the farmers in the valley for
rain and they are joined in their
prayer by everybody else, for upon
a good and abundant crop depends
the prosperity of this section. The
spring-sown grain is generally poor
this year anil threatens to be a fail
ure if Juo’ter 1‘luvius does not soon
come to the assistance of Cerus with
a strong and steady downpour.
