at Carnegie Hall in his address
Prof. Adler strongly condemned the
spirit greed for the
employment of child and
adulteration of food attempt |
of wealthy men to the evils |
by wosing of surplus wealth
through philanthropic channels Dr. |
Adler declared to a fallure both |
individually and so far as society
was concerned The speaker also
said that the lot of the wealth getter
was anything but an enviable one
Child labor, Dr. Adler said,

the men employing it did not care |
what the future of the child would |
be-—that its physical, mental and |
moral growth would be perverted |
made no difference to them so long
as they got labor cheap. Utterly
mean and contemptible also were the
men who filled their neighbors with
worthless stuffs and poisons in the
adulteration of food products and
drugs, he declared. Only the vilest
of creatures could so plot against
their fellow-men, Dr. Adler said. Yet
many fortunes had been bullt up up-
on such methods. One of the great-
est existing evils, Dr. Adler contin-
ned, was the corrupting influence of
such men upon the country’s politics.
Dr. Adler then condemned the type
of men who rendered great and real
social services, but only that they
might advertise themselves; men who
made the interest of soclety incident
al to their own selfish purposes.
Thousands of poor persons envied the
great wealth of the few and envied
the possessors of it, and their minds
were affected by that false idea, Dr.
Adler said. The transmission of such
wealth to the getter’s children had
proved in most instances a curse, and
ruined the children physically, men-
tally and morally. The wealth-getter
himself struggling after power was
anything but a man to be envied.
The country seemed to be breeding
a race of “"supermen’’ —of $100,000,
000 “supermen.” “But,” asked Dr.
Adler, “is the type of race advanced?
Does it pay society for the sacrifices
in breeding them.
“Some very rich men have hob-
bies,"” said the speaker. "What right
have men to have hobbies? What
right have men, trustees of surplus
wealth, to possess capricious hob
bles?" "New York Times,
