| " Is really worth while to quote "A
paragraph from late letter of "Hol-
land' To- the Press of Philadelphia IT
is not the brief review he makes of
great gifts but of continuous employ
| ment and wages, naming but u few
names. that we reproduce:
when John ~ Rockefeller modcstly
and for Tho pose of illustrating his
point told mis- sons Bible class that
the corporation Of which h, is the head
had paid out 500, 900 900 in wages he
did no more than echo what Abram $.
Hewitt once told an audience of work.
ingmen. Mr.. Hewitts theme was that
no man can anass great wealth by the
aid of any industry or any invention
without increasing the wealth of the
world in far greater proportion than
his own was increased. He illustrated
that BY speaking of Sir Henry Besse-
"a & ,,f Iy, Ia, ,I,,,

increased the wealth of the world, ac-
curding To Mr.. FIewitt's estimate. by
as much as $1,000 900. 900, and almost
every person at least in the civilized
world was directly or indirectly bene-
iitad thereby. Edison once made n
computation that his incandescent
lamp supported l00o,000 persons and
increased the capital of the world by
heary $5oo o0o,o0o, although his own
share in that invention was only a lit
tie over $3.0OO.0O0. So, too, the inven-
tions of Westinghouse, Of Bell, have
probably Increased the wealth of the
world by as much as 81 900, 900, 900 and
the two corporations, one identified by
Westinghouse name and the other of
which Mr.. Coffin is the head, are pay
ing several millions every year. the
propOrtionate wages each one receiv-
ing from this payment being very
high"
This is the point Of view of the good
that enormous industrial enterprises,
that can only he carried on by i'm
mensc capital, are doing every day,
that is so persistently overlooked by
multitudes. Is it because it lies so
near them? 1t is no less worthy of
consdcrati ton than is the power Of
wealth held as a trust to regenerate
through education the social condition
of great section Of a great nation.

President Roosevelt comes from
good old Southern stock on his
mothers side and had two uncles
who served CALAMITY in the Con-
federate Navy and the President
spoke of them as brave men and
declared that he was proud of them.
This brought forth severe criticism
from G. A. h. Post in New
Hampshire, who declared tina; the
Presidents Confederate uncles were
traitors and he should be ashamed
OF them instead of proud of them.
But Roosevelt is too big man to
De worried by such narrow minded
bigotry and sectional intolerance.

They are selling at about sra per

The Kansas Supreme Court has
decided that Joint smashing is ille-
GAL just as this paper has claimed
all along when old Aunt Carrie
Nation was cutting such a wide
swath out there and breaking IN
and destroying property with the
excuse that the business was carried
on Illegally. The Court has de-
clded that even if these Joints

Incense and we're therefore public
nulsances' no person had any right
to break them up without proper
authority and due process Of law.

President Roosevelt will not
tolerate the name Executive Man
sion" for the White House. He
says there are IS executive mansions
in the United States, but only one
White House, and it IS his intention
to call his official residence by the
old familiar name, and not by the
more pretentious title. But every
statute appropriating money for it
calls il Executive Mansion.
Senators and others receiving
letters from him since he has been
President have noticed they have
all been dated white House -
Furthermore each Of the Presidents
letters or invitations have said.
"Come to the White House and
have a talk with me, or something
like that.
All the stationery, even 10 the
telegraph blanks used at the White
House for years have carried the
Two words Executive Mansion" on
ihe tor Of each sheet and flaps Of
the envelopes. As soon as the new
supply ordered By President Roose.
velt comes into use, the words
Executive Mansion" will be super.
seeded by the familiar phrase.
"Whte House" and the historic
old residence and Office Of the
President will be so known until
Mr.. Roosevelt leaves Official life.

 In reply to question of the court Ensign Cronan said that so far as he knew neither the Eagle nor the Vixen had made any signal requesting the squadron to slow down on the cruise from Cienfuegos to Santiago. | When Ensign Cronan was excused l George H. Warford, who was carpen- ter on the Brooklyn, was called. De- scribing the battle of July 8, he said that early in the action the order was passed by marine orderly stand by to ram" He also said that later, and during the chase, he had seen the Vis- caya turn as if to ram the Brooklyn before the former went ashore.
 Mir. Warford said he had made per sonal examination of the Brooklyn af- fer the battle and had found that she had been struck thirty times. He said that Commodore Schley's conduct and bearing during the battle were that or fearless officer. He said that during the engagement the turning tank ot the Brooklyn filled with water
 When MT. Warford was excused J. L.. Hunlv. who was chief machinist on the Texas in the battle of July 3, was call ed. He said that during the engage ment he had been on duty at the throt- tie of the port engine. He said III re- sponse to question by MT. Rayner that he knew Alfred Claxton, who had previously testified that on the day or the battle he was standing at the tnfot- tie of the port engine.
 "Is that correct?" asked MT. Rayner, quoting Claxton's testimony.
 "No. sir" the witness replied.
 "Was the port engine either stopped or backed?'
 NO, sir, not to my knowledge"
 "Was it slowed down?'
 Yes sir.
 MT. Hanna cross-examined MT. Hun ly. who said that he had been on outy all the time during the batrie.
 "Is there anything to fix the signals given in your mind?"
 Nothing at all. I don't remember stopping or backing. The only orders I remember were to slow down and for full speed.
 DO you know of anything that was done on the starboard side?'
 "I do not"
 MT. Rayner-"Who summoned you here?"
 CT don't know: I was ordered to come"
 Captain Lemly asked MT, Rayner to state the purpose of the question. He went on to say that this was an lmpu- tation which he resented. Replying MT. Rayner said he had mean no impu- tation; that Admiral Schley had not had the witness summoned, and that

ter M. Farmer of St. Louis is the chairman, will consider ways and means for the projection of the first ex- hibit that their race has ever made at an international exhibition. The rough plans reveal features which will make this exhibit one of the most in- teresting and instructive at the fair. It is the idea of the committee to cause the construction of a circular amphi- theater or coliseum, from which quadrant sections will extend like the arms of a Maltese cross. Tn one of the quadrant sections the raising of tobac- co will be shown, with negro hands in the field picking the natural leaf for market A tobacco manufacturing plant turning out tobacco for use would be operated in the same sec- tion.
 In another section the cotton fields of the sunny South would be reproduced with a fully-equipped spindle mill, which would manufacture the cloth from the raw material. Still another section would be given up to replica of the genuine old plantation kitchen of the ante bellum days, where negro 'mammies,' who were once slaves, will serve the same meals that made cele- brated the hospitality of the southern planter.
 The last quadrant would contain a +baater where the mirth- provoking talent of the black race might be shown
