NOME, ALASKA, OCTOBER 24, 191b
Vanity is probably as common
characteristic as can be found among
the rang ana me of numauttina. 1- tv.
there are inueeu mat are not a triiii
vain over some aitnouie or accom
plishment. in the majority of lnai
vu :.a!» i»ersonal vanity amounts to
little ltss than downright seif conceit.
Hardly more than one individual in
five that does not view himself as a
trifle higher, a little better in uios:
particulars, than the majority ot tiiuio
with whom be is in contact. Very few
men are willing to admit that then
are others wno arc superior to them -
selves. That others succeed, climb tin
ladder ot attainment, mount to higher
places of power, attain greater wealth,
is not often attributed, to their
capacity but to unuaual good fortune,
luck, "pull," or fortuitous circum
stance. Excepting those whoso su
perior capacities lift them so fur above
the common herd that their superior
g /
Itlea are plainly recognizable, very few'
are willing to acknowledge that otners
are superior to themselves. The ma
jority of ordinary folks usually pos
sess little over which to be vain.
Doubtless a great many have some
quality or accomplishment concerning
which they may be proud, but the
greater number possess within them
selves very little of anything over
which they are justly entitled to be
vain or to feel themselves in the slight
est degree superior to their fellows.
But, while acknowledging that vanity
is ons of the dominant traits of human
kind, one cannot but view with some
thing akin to pity the person who
coneieves that an accident of birth
confers upon himself a distinction
which lifts him above his fellows. Uf
all foolish vanities, the vanity of birth
Is the most foolish; save and except,
perhaps, the vanity of wealth. There
is undoubtedly a certain sense of sat
isfaction in being in the line of descent
from honorable men and women, in
bearing a name that has stood for
worth and achievement in generations
past. But this satisfaction should
oonsist largely in knowing that one
is starting out with no handicap, that
aU the advantages of heredity aro on
one's side. That any human being can
aotually plume himself on the fact
that him great grandfather was a gen
eral or his great grandmother a poet
ess passss understanding. Uood blood
la a considerable recommendation but
it is also a great responsibility. No
man goes so low in human estimation
as he who violates the traditions of his
bloodL But whoever presents himself
in public decked in tho hard won glor
ies of his ancestors cuts a ridiculous
figure, to say the least.
Pride of wealth Is, If anything, sill
ier than pride of birth because merely
to be rich Is not to one's credit—not
even if one makes tho money one’s
self. Often it is decidedly discredit
able. We remember tho statement of
a noted American who declared that
oo man can gain a fortune in business
l»y strictly honorable methods. For
tnnas made by sharp practices, by
Cheating the government, by grinding
the poor or by taking advantage of
another's ncsesslties, are disgraceful
relher than honorable. But, even
where no discredit attaches to the ac
< nmillation of a fortune, it is seldom
anvthlng to be proud ol and then only
as a symbol of the brain and fore
thought and industry that built It up.
The man who has made himself rich by
cgitimate means through intelligence
and application, admittedly has a.
right to feel a trifle complacent over
his success, but that his children
should think themselves superior to
the sons and daughters of poorer folks
is nothing short of ridiculous. To be
proud of wealth that one has not earn
ed Is as sensible as to be vain and
conceited over the color of the sky
One has as much to do with the one
as with the other. Probably all vanity
is foolish, but the two cases mentioned
are particularly unreasonable. Unless ,
one can And some better reason for
holding one’s head aloft than their |
grandfather’s renown of their father’s
money, they have tittle personal claim
to unusual respect from others.
