A DANGEROUS ELEMENT

“In tims of stress the most danger- ous person in the public life of any country is the man of great wealth. He has been so accustomed to a life of luxury and to the gratification of every personal whim ,that he is not prepared for anything else. In a cri- ; his mind becomes panicky or des. pondent and he throws. himself upon the mercy of others, and, as a last resort, frequently commits suicide. He looks upon wealth as the only thirg worth living for; and, if he cannot continue to have wealth he would just as soon die, It is the heathen philo- sophy we so often hear expressed by men of great wealth.

The men of great wealth in the Un- ited States proved their helplessness in the spring of 1933, when they came on the run to Washington imploring President Roosevelt to help them. They had carried their exaction too far. They had robbed the industriss and the homes of the people to the point of exhaustion. in convulsion and ran away tor.

Cloudburst and heayy rainstorms in the Lillooet, Ashcroft and Spences Bridge area last week haye made highways and trails rough and m places washed out the roads.
