The Money in It and the Price of Belief
Joe Chapple, editor of the National Magazine, argues that happiness should be a habit rather than bought, and warns that modern society sacrifices noble emotions for money and public approval. He cites the older sacrificial mindset of the Aztecs and notes American pursuits of personal revenge masked as honors, urging that manhood cannot be bought. Rankin is praised for loving his fellow man, and Chapple contends enjoyment comes from vivacity and patience of taste rather than material abundance.
