Wlicn tile rich man dies we arc
prone to think on the folly of hu
man greed; lie toiled and worried
to ge( chink that no mortal could
ever need. For 'cars and years
he had no repose, no rest from
the beastly grind; and now when
down to the tomb he goes, he
leaves all his junk behind. He
leaves his bonds and he leaves
his stocks, and the deeds that he
jirized so high; and he leaves his
gems and his shining rocks—all
junk when the rich inep die. Of
no use then to the plutocrat are,
the markets, weak nr strong; for
a suit of clothes and a while cra
vat are all that he takes along.
Like Lazarus, to an open ditch,
he goes with his wreath of flow
ers, and then he’s mourned by
the idle rich for seven and twen
ty hours. Not long, not long shall
the tear drops flow, or the dead
be kept in mind, for the pluto
crats, when at last they go, leave
all of such things behind. Few
earnest mourners shall weep
above the graves that the rich
men hold; they never wanted such
stuff as love—their efforts were
all for gold; they had no faith in
such things as. hearts, no knowl
edge of human souls; they spent
themselves in the busy marts, in
creasing their bulging rolls. They
bear no wealth to the golden isle
where the angels sing their song,
for a white cravat and a wintry
smile are all that they take along.

WANT MAYOR LUNN
TO SPLIT UP HIS PAY
Schneclady, N. Y.—In this city
uf Socialist government, the high
ly paid officeholders find them
selves confronted by a demand
that they share their salaries with
their party organization. The de
mand, coming from a powerful
element in Ihe party, is putting
political Socialism to a severe
test and may prove fatal to it.
The effect of the demand will he j
felt at the municipal election next
November, when the rank and llle
of the Socialist party may refuse
to vole for Mayor George It.
Lunn, who is a candidate for re
nomination and is bitterly oppos
ed to dividing his $3,500 salary
with any person or organization.
The demand for a division of
salaries was started by Charles
VV. Wood, editor of The Citizen,
the weekly paper founded by the
Rev. Dr. Lunn, the present may
or. Mr. Wood, who ran as a So
cialist for state senator last fall,
was brought here by Dr. Lunn to
edit the paper, which is now pub
lished oy a stock company, in
which l)r. Lunn is the controlling
element.
An ardent supporter of the idea
that Mayor Lunn should divide his
salary is Robert A. Bakeman, who
resigned as assistant pastor of
Dr. Lunn’s church to become
foreman of a gang of street
cleaners at $2.50 a day, because
he could belter uplift humanity
in that way. With the editor of
his own paper and his former as
sistant pastor trying to make him
split his salary, and the two pro
ponents hacked by a majority of
the members of the leading So
cialist organization, Dr. Lunn is
in an amusing predicament, llow
IfVer, he is supported by nearly all
the city officials.
The total of the ycurl.v salur
! ics of $1,000 or more is $15.(105.
: There are enough Socialist city
; employes drawing from $2.50 to
i.si a day to increase | lie total di
visible under lln* demand to $00,—
000 a year. and. with the excep
tion of Bakeman. every one of
them is opposed to sharing his in
come with any one else. But Ihe
two-dollar—day street cleaners
'and a majority of the Socialists
j not on the city pay rolls favor (lie
I division, and that is what is wor
Ieying Mayor Lunn. The majority
|of the Socialist aldermen, who
draw .1-500 a year each, are in fa
vor of division.
Wood’s demand underwent
nioditlcation before it was pre
sented at a meeting of the Social
ist organization. At first, Mr.
Wood contemplated abolishing
(lie city official board of esti
mate and apportionment alto
gether, and putting in iha&tlaee a
committee of Soci$H§|¥f who
would take the total stuiv of mu
nicipal salaries and apportion it
equally among officeholders and
employes, mayor and « street j
.sweeper alike. But this idea was j
abandoned, and the proposal as it
now stands for debate is for this
private, supplementary board of
estimate and apportionment to 1
fix the amount which each man j
may keep out of his pay. This is :
to be passed on what Hie could
earn at his trade, calling or pro
fession, but the maximum is to
be placed at $1,500 a year.
Mayor Lunn and the higher
paid officials naturally winced
when this practical sample of real
Socialism was laid before them.
Non-poisonous Matches on Sale.
It is encouraging to see non
poisonous matches on sale in New
York City in many places several
months in advance of the require
ments of the federal Esch-Hughes
law. That will begin to go into
effect ne'xt July, although another
year is allowed for t*ie disposal of
poisonous matches which dealers
may have on hand. Manufacturers
say they are getting their big
plants into shape to make non
poisonous matches, and if the
women of the country rfeally want
the new match there will not he
many of the poisonous phosphor
ous variety on hand next July.
It is encouraging to see what
tvomen can do when they make
up their mind.
