A RICH MANS WILL.

Some comment has been made on the
fact that Senator Sawyers will gave
practically all his estate to his own rel
atives, and nothing to charitable or edu-
cational institutions. The st. Paul Pho
neer Press criticizes severely this dispo-
sition of the property, saying that any
man who has accumulated millions by
being the first to take up and turn into
money the natural wealth of the coun-
try should be under a moral obligation
to return part of it to the public who
helped him to fortune This is true.
But the Pioneer Press failed to note the
generosity of Mr. Sawyer during his life
time Some men of wealth prefer to
retain everything they make during
their lifetime for their own use, and
then perpetuate their memory by en-
downing "A college or hospital by gift
payable after death. This generally re-
suits in the donors name appearing on
a marble tablet, or being made and kept

endowed, at the cost not Of the giver in
his lifetime but Of his heirs after his
death AS the heirs have not accumu-
lated the wealth, they have no reason to
complain of the disposition Of it in any
way the testator may see fit But the
credit TO him Is scarcely so great ~ If he
had made the gift when it involved some
sacrifice TO himself Senator Sawyer gave
away thousands Of dollars every month
for many years. He helped struggling
colleges, though he was not college
man himself. He helped charities, or.
gained and unorganized, public and
private. He assisted relatives and friends
almost without number. His benefac-
tiOns were made not with the idea Of
placing his name with those Of Girard
and Peter Cooper but because he in
tended to accomplish good in each in.
stance. No libraries colleges, art gal
leries or hospitals are named for him,
because he did not make that "a condition
of any of his gifts. But the gifts were
made, and the good was done 1t is
hardly fair TO criticise him because he
did not confine his charity to one 81 two
large lcgacies, with his name attached.
