NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 26, 1917.
People may be devided into two
classes by tiieir ambitions. There
are uiose wno want money and ah
that money means. Their day dreams
•ire lnled with visions of luxuries 01
all sons—motor cars, country and cily
homes, obsequious tlunkies, cringing
h'leimgs, deicrre-ntial merchants anu
bunk clerks, and awed officials of city
a^iel (state who will overlook their
piccadilloea. Their inuginations sume
tiines picture great social successes
and the slights they will impose on
some who now ignore them. They see
themselves boarding their palatial
yacht, the enevy of many who took
op. In short they hope lor great ma
terial welfare and all the pleasure^
of the tlesh.
Aside tronr the fact that only about
one in three hundred, as shown by
the income tax returns, receives over
four thousand dollars a year which
ircncaies how little hope there is for |
the common man or woman to enjoy
riches, the end sought is a chimera
wringing neither happiness nor longe
vity. Nor can any one who hopes to.
life beyond the grave find in the chase
for wealth uuy soul culture that by
uuy chance will add to the richness
f such a future life. In fact the
freatest Spiritual Teacher of all time
said distinctly that the man who wor
shipped wealth had small hope of a
.ife beyond.
But putting away any considera
tions except thoje of this life, It niuy
be seriously questioned whether the
ambition for wealth and the kind of
power which goes with It, even if
fully satisfied brings the greatest
benefits and pleasures of which hu
man beings are capable.
The requirements of those who have
obtained wealth and social position
are speed, ever more speed. Their
lives must go faster and faster or the
pleasure fails. Just as In gambling
where the stakis must be higher and
h'gher to sustain the excitement so
In the whole life of the average pos
sessor of large wealth greater speed
must be attained to hold up the In
terest. One dinner and dance after
wards is not enough. There must be
ap elaboiate dinner and a number of
bulls which are visited at top speed.
Then a supper at some place, anu
more excitement. After a troubled
sleep there eonu s the hurry of a day
In which the scores of things incident
to this sort of life must be attended
to followed by another night of ner
vous tension. In order to continue
in the game the pluyers must speed
up continually and fight always to
rc*pln the ground already won. The

end of such a career Is shattered
nerves and ea.'v death and the mem
ores of it can only be a blurred im
pression of a chaotic whirl.
The essen ;e o* such a life is more
and more wants. When they are
supplied, there are still more un.,

so many Such a life U in fact over
whelmed by iu wants and is a fall

because at no time did the soul show

The other class of people exact,
opposed to those who ure thus -
gulfed in their wants is composed m
those who ret. ucc theii needs .o r

too many cl nines a burden, and too
elaborate a ahellei a constant soure.
of worry and care. By eating simpU
.ood they keep well, by having onl>
a limited wardrobe they do not wast.
..me in buying the fitting, nor monej
n paying; and by preferring a simpl
abode they are freed of the care o.
useless blic-a-bac and imposing be
mngings. Their gains are that the.\
aave time and desire to look abou
13 the wonderful world in which the.
live. They look at the heavens an
anow something of their wonders
They examine the earth on whicl
.1 ey tread, and find increasing food
.or thought. They become more an
more masters of themselves and thei
Jestinles and less and less the croa
ures of their environment.
Wealth. preferment, und position
are not necessary to them. The>

ibundant life of summer, rejoice h

The life based on wealth and pow
r and which ends In failure In spite
of its glitter is possible by its ver>
nature only to a few. That all ma;
lot be very rich and employ a hos
of servants is self evident. But lha 1
.he simple life is possible to all i
equally evident. And the simpler on
makes life the more successful it be
comes.
A great outcry is now going up a
over the country because of hig
.u ices. It is within the power of an;

away without loss of a single essen
dal. The constant frittering of money

inanciul worries can be ended. But
bis requires will power. It calls for
i personality that cares nothing for
.chat the neighbors, who themselves
are worried nearly sick by their own
•lilure to master the problems of life,
will think or say. It disdains the ory
of fatuous business that all Is w*U
with a community that lives to the
unit of Its means, saving nothing for
the future. The simple life Is the
uticnal, natural life, and if It is not
olunturily adopted by a large portion
it the people of every community. It
.dll be imposed sooner or later by
hat economic condition known as
'hard times," and the transition pe
