THE MONEY CHANGERS AND TRUSTS
HAVE JUDGE CLARK CONDEMNED.
The treatment Of Judge Clark by
the Trustees OF Trinity College shows
to what an alarmingly extent the
trusts and monopolies are gaining In
nuence and control over colleges that
accept big donations from such sources.
Judge Clark's crime is that he Is
friend Of the people and an able and
dangerous opponent to the trusts and
monopolies. The trustees of Trinity
College, in their action toward Judge
Clark, have clearly taken the side of
the trusts and monopolies and indicat-
ed clearly that the gift which the trus-
tees have accepted from the trusts has
caused them to stop cOndemning trusts
and to really become the champions
and defenders of the trusts and mono
poles. 1t is sad! It is shocking! 1t
10 alarming! In oder 20 break the con-
spiracy Of gold and monopoly to Ell.
slave our people ard undermine our
institutions, it is necessary for the
churches and colleges and newspapers
and every religious and moral agency
to stand solidly together and fight the
money power and the monopoIies and
trusts and at least to keep themselves
pure by driving the money changers
out of the Temple. The money power
and the trusts know this and therefore
they have determined to muzzle as fal
- possible these moral and religion:
forces.
Judge Clark in the speech which hi
prepared to make before the Trustee:
Of Trinity College, warning them o.
this danger and pointing ont the con
spiPacy formed by the bankers and tn,
trusts to control the colleges in tn,
interest Of the gold standard and mo
nopolies, says:
