Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 97: March 7, 1935 Magna Charta, ruled without a parliament. His usurpation of power and his refusal to recognize the rights of his subjects proved his undoing. However, the aristocracy of birth as a universal force has crumbled. In many lands the thrones of emperors and kings are today unoccupied. Titles may be bought for the fourth of a common fortune, or the wealth of an actress. In the meantime there has arisen in the world another centralized power which may be called the aristocracy of wealth, in which success and in¿uence seem in proportion to the amount a man possesses. Under that regime big business appears more concerned about raising the value of things than in raising the standard of living. Men are used to make money, instead of money being used to make men. Of course, man is the ultimate means of wealth, but this personal power should not be exploited by any man or force advantageously Situated. We are living in an age of changing opinions, of swiftly shifting human relations. Man's wisdom seems baf¿ed. In all our readjustments, plans and policies we cannot do better than keep in mind the divine admonition that the worth of souls is great in the sight of God.
