CAPITALISTS


Of the late Bishop Charles G. Grafton a Fond du Lac man said: "Bishop

Grafton was remarkable for the neatness and point of his pulpit

utterances. Once, during a disastrous strike, a capitalist of Fond du

Lac arose in a church meeting and asked leave to speak. The bishop gave

him the floor, and the man delivered himself of a long panegyric upon

captains of industry, upon the good they do by giving men work, by

booming the country, by reducing the cost of production, and so forth.

When the capitalist had finished his self-praise and, flushed and

satisfied, had sat down again, Bishop Grafton rose and said with quiet

significance: 'Is there any other sinner that would like to say a

word?'"
