What gave Mr. Hanna his prominence
as leader of the Republican party? Is
he a statesman? No, he loaned Mr.. Nc
Kinley money to pay his debts and Mr..
Mckinley repaid him by beguiIing John
Sherman to resign from the senate %
take the Office of secretary of state Ito
throw him DOWN and then the legislature
Of Ohio was induced to "stand by the
administra ten" in making Hanna a
United States senator without any claim
upon that great office except the fact
that he was the money maker and loaned
the president enough to keep him from
bankruptcy.
c. P. Huntington did not agree with
his associates in giving large sums of
money to educational institutions. In an
interview shortly before his death he
said: Many young men make a mis-
take the office of secretary of state Ito
most important part of their lives in fill
ing themselves with knowledge of other
mems deeds of no practical use TO the
commercial world" This settled the
hopes of California that he might follow
the examples of Stanford and Hearst. To
a man like Mr.. Huntington, who deemed
money to be the end as well as the
means, higher education is superfuous
Get money and hoard it and then-die
and leave it.

the sea, as testimony If your dominion
over it. Let your successors annually
perform the same ceremony, that poster
ity may know that your valor has pur-
chased this prerOgative and subjected this
element to you, even as a husband sub
jecteth his wife" The espousal of the
Adrfatic, sea, with the Venetian Republic
was celebrated thereafter for many
years, a ceremony often described when
Venice was in her pride and splendor
