LCST OF MONEY.
Bishop Potter Says is Responsible For
Divorce, Crime and Corruption.
Xew Haven. Conn., Dec. 8. Bishop
Potter, in an address last night before
the Church club of Xew Haven, spoke
at length oa "Wealth and Common
wealth." 'I chose this subject because of its
paramount importance," he said. "Di
vorce, crime and corruption in all our
cities have one root the lust of money.
The one eager, dominant hunger which
salutes us from one end to another of
our broad land 13 the passion, the
huncer. the greed of gain.
'Challenge what method you will in
the complicated web of our industrial,
political and social life and you will find
the question of g-ain behind it. Listen
to what scandal you may in the haunts
of politicians, in tbe camps of soldiers,

ard in the w hole business may be ex
pressed by a dollar mark.
"Lister, to the talk of children as
they measure and compare their eiders.
Hear a group of young girls, whose
fresh youth one would think ought in
the matter of their most tender and
sacred affections to be as free from
sordid instinct as from the taint of a
Godless cynicism, and you will find that
they have their price and are not to be
had without it any more than a Cir
cassian slave in the market of Bagdad.
"Go where you may, talk with whom
you will with clergymen estimating the
promise of a field for spiritual labor,
with women rating the claims of other
women upon their social recognition,
