John D. Rockefeller Is the president OF

he has just given 81 100000 to a university
In Chicago, and that he recently had the
Senate OF the United States pass a bill to
enable him to give several millions for
education in this city? You surely do not
expect him to give these great sums out OF
his private fortune. which, as we all know,
he has earned by his individual efforts, by
his thrift and energy and upright business

credit: why, therefore, should not the pub

tutions Of learning: these magnificent
marble palaces, enduring monuments to the
costless generosity Of our modern nobility,
for the sake Of few cents difference in
the price Of a foul-smeling, dangerous.

for you! Walk up and pay for your gallon
of oil like a man, remembering that while
the action of the oil trust or the beef trust
or the coal trust may at times seem to us
less gifted mortals harsh and cruel, yet we
can always shiver and hold fast to the
faith that their actions are at bottom
simply thinly disguised benevolence? We
in His infinite wisdom has given control OF
the property interests Of the country are
unselfishly looking out for our welfare.
Try to be reasonable. The people cannot
secure these institutions Of learning by d.
rect means: they cannot tax themselves and
erect them through the state, for that
would be socialism and socialism. as you
know, Is ''noxious exotic" a dangerous
foreign import alton. 1t follows. therefore.
that they must pay an indirect tax on their
food and drink and fuel in order that the
beneficiaries, when they have gotten more
than they know what to DO with, may per-
chance erect a college for their own glory
and the coed Of posterity.
Please do not let such editorials appear In
your paper. They SAVIOR too much Of i'm

Meaning Of the Civil War.

THE doctrine of 1851 and the years which
followed declared the natural right Of every
man to his own freedom, whatever might
be his race or color; and the natural right
of every man to make his dwelling wher-
ever on the face of the earth he might
think fit. These truths will, perhaps, be
accepted today as generally as they were
accepted then; but If accepted at all they
are accepted by the intellect only, and not
by the heart. They are not much talked
about except to ridcule them or to find
some plausible reason why they should not
be applied. the orator Of today puts his
emphasis on glory, on empire, on power, on
wealth. We live under, and love, and we
will shed our hearts blood for the same
flag which foated over our fathers, and
for which they were ready to die. But it
ent meaning, whether it float over the Cap
itol, or the ship-of-war, or the regiment on
the march, or the public assembly. We no
longer speak of 1t, except coldly and form
ally, as the symbol of liberty, but only as
the symbol Of power, or of a false cheap
tinsel glory. think the popular reverence
for Washington and Lincoln, and for Sum-
ner and for Webster, is not abated, but few
political speakers quote today the great
sentences which made them so famous or
the great principles to which they devoted
their lives.

True Sentiment of the Country.

True Sentiment of the Country.
But all these things are temporary and
superficial and cutaneous. The deep heart
OF the American people beats today, as
ever, for justice and liberty. There are
times of profound peace and unbroken pros
perity, when 1t seems to the unrefecting
view as If everything that was noble had
gone from the character Of the American
people. But 1t is a grievous mistake. Mr..
Choate as you rem ember, wrote to a friend
out Of the country. In 1855. Your estate is
gracious that keeps you out of our politics.
Anything more low, obscene, feculent the
manifold oceanic heaving Of history have
not cast up. We shall come to the worship
OF onions. cats and things vermiculate.
Yet six years later the lofty summons came
and the heroic youth Of 1861 answered the
call. The American people have never
cared permanently and in their hearts for
military glory. and have never in their
hearts been greedy for mere empire.
The war Of 1912 brought great glory to
the nation. 1t was crowded with naval
victories. It won for US the freedom Of The
seas. But there is no statesman who had
anything to do with the war Of 1872 who is
remembered now for the share he had in it,
That war left US but one name which may
fairly be called illustrious in our airy
history. the name Of Andrew Jackson. And
the glory Of New Orleans has been, think,
eclipsed by the glory Of putting down nul1i-
fication.
Inc war with mexico won Tor us great
addition to our empire and the dominion of
the Pacific. Yet the two generals who won
fame in that war. while both did their full
duty as soldiers, both were opposed in opin.
ion to the war. The statesmen Of that day,
who brought on the war with Mexico, are
almost wholly forgotten now, while Web
ster and Sumner and Clay and Benton and
Corwin hold their places in the affection Of
the people. and shine with undiminished
luster.
Benton. RooseveIt's Hero.
when Theodore Roosevelt chose his hero
for the imitation of the youth Of America
he passed by Polk and Pierce and Buchanan
and Cushing and the other statesmen who
brought on the Mexican war. He took Ben

and Office and popularity to protest against
It.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES.
 Rarely has Easter dawned on bright CT skies and seldom has the audience room of the Congregational church been filled with so large congregation composed so largely of children and young people. Easter lilies, hyacinths, aZalias, palms and many plants of green foliage were banked in front of the pulpit. In the choir were seated eight young ladies of the Sunday school, like unto so many more lilies, dressed in white, who, assisted by part of the regular choir, lead in the sing ing: Miss Ida Evans, daughter of MT and Mrs A. Evans, sang very 'SWeetly an Easter solo for the Offertory. A quartet rendered also very beautifully a selection appropriate for the day. Rev MT Stacks Easter message to his people was the thought that Christ's rising from the dead indicated His di- vine power and SQnship; the right to save His people on the earth through His resurrection life. A number of the congregation remained for the opening exercises of the Sunday school when the following children spoke ap- propriate Easter verses. Mary H. Fair child, Mahla Hallock, Leonard Huse, Helen McGregor, Gertrude Wheeler, Rena Platt and four little girls from the infant class, Estelle Baird, little daughter of John Baird, sang very prettily an Easter solo. The following girls rendered very nicely a motion song, Grace Slack, Pauline and Hazel l Andrews and Irene Judd. A short Sea- son was given to the classes for the Easter lesson and at the close of the school these officers were elected for the ensuing year: Superintendent,
 Arthur D. Fairchild, assistant, Miss
 Hattie Patchen; Miss Hattie Crofut, secretary; Floyd Wood, treasurer
