Show Bleb. Men Too Greedy. If I had my way there would be a. law requiring men to retire from business busi-ness as' soon as they gain a competency, compe-tency, says a writer in the New York Press. Our population is increasing so rapidly that there is nothing for the newcomers to do. The aged encumber en-cumber the ground. We don't want the dear old veterans to die, but to retire re-tire to ease and comfort on the interest of their investments. What a happy jolly, contented world this would be if the successful man should step down and out at 50 and give the boys a chance. But he will never do it. He works harder at 60 than at 40, harder at 70 than at 30. It is a kind of insanity. insan-ity. The poor, starved, friendless creature is obliged to toil on and die in his poverty, but the rich man, the fortunate millionaire, toils on because his soul is filled with greed for gold and dies in his riches poorer than the other. |
