ing Just as Rockefeller was thinking of
a generous gift to Brown.
"Then, again, it is said that the only
thing that deferred Rockefeller from
aiding Brown financially this week,
when his son was graduated, was a
suspicion that President Andrews had
too radical ideas on some matters of
the greatest moment
President Andrews built Brown up
from the dimensions of a boarding
school and placed it in the list Of the
big universities. There are few here
who will not concede that. But this
fact seemed to count for little at yes
terday's meeting of the trustees
Representative Walker, of Worces-
ter, led the attack He alluded to the
political attitude OF the college presi-
dent and thought he ought to be cen :
sured for what he called President An
drews' outside work, in which, he said,
the university was bcing misrepresent-
ed. When Mr.. Walker had finished he
was openly endorsed by William God
dard, the millionaire cotton manufac-
turer and chancellor of the university.
"There was long and heated dis
cussion of the curriculum at Brown
and it was argued by Col. Goddard and
others that the free silver and free
trade views of President Andrews
should not be tolerated as long as he
remained as the educational head of
the college.
"The trustees and fellows voted to
appoint a special committee to take
President Andrews in hand as soon as
he reaches home This committee coz
sists of Chancellor Goddard, former
Chief Justice Durfee, Of the Rhode Is
land supreme court, and Francis Way
land"
The above is simply mild statement
of one of the many such shameful and
shocking occurrences. This same fell
low Rockefeller endowed the Chicago
university, aud one of the ablest pro-
fessors in that institution was Prof.
Bemls, The public will remember
how he was dismissed over a year ago
because he taught the boys in the
class room that trusts were destructive
to individual enterprise and would UNI
der mine and destroy republic.
A few weeks ago certain Christian
missionary protested against his de
nomination bowling to Rockefeller for
funds to carry on their holy work.
The high mucl-a-mucks of his church
promptly sat upon him and Inundated
him for his freshness.
Now Mr.. Rockefeller has it given out
that he would have given million
dollars to Brown University if Presi-
dent Andrews had agreed in the last
campaign to turn goldbug and apollo
gist for trusts The crime of Presi-
dent Andrews is that he refused to
bend the knee to the shyloclts. He
stood for the money of the constitution;
he stood for the doctrine and principles
of jefferson, jackson and Lincoln.
Surely this must be not only shocking
but alarming to every true American
to every man who values free speech
and free thought, to every man who
believes in the principles of jefferson
and Lincoln, to every man who is
follower of the teachings of the lowly
Nazarene.
Shall our colleges be sold to monop-
olies at the highest bidder? Shall the
minds of the youth of the land be
poisoned with the corrodiug heresy of
the "divine right of trusts?" Shall the
temple of christianity be bartered and
sold to the money changers for part
of their ill-gotten gains in order that a
fine church building be erected and the
preacher get big salary to preach
anything but religion? Think how
many of the subsidized college profes.
sors and preachers openly took the
side of monopolists and the gold syndi-
cate in the last campaign Think how
many of them degraded their class
rooms and prostituted their pulpits to
the service of mammon! 1t is shocking
it is horrible! Where will it lead to,
where will it end? 1t is enough to
make every man who loyes his country
and who believes that there is a God,
cry out "Oh, Christ, come back, the
money changers are in the temple -
The Caucasian.
1t is great thing, this payment of
s9s, 900, 900 Of indebtedness. 1t means
that there have been $4,000 foreclosure
cases on an average of $1,000 each
There was not one case in ten where
any actual money changed hands. 1t
was merely transfer Of the title to
Nebraska real estate from Nebraskans
to bankers, and bond holding mort
cages in the east il is q great evil
