THE NOMINArION OF DIR. CRrM

The President surprised sone people
yesterday afternoon by sending to the
Senate the nomination of DIR. Crum to
be collector of the port at Charleston.
South Carolina. DR.. Crum is a negro,
and there has been a long controversy
over his case. OF course the white peo-
pie of Charleston didn't want DR.. Crum
appointed, and they have not hesitated
to say so. Some of them didn't hesitate
to make Charges" against the doctor.
These charges didn't stick very well,
and it has been understood that the
fight against him was wholly on the
ground of his color. 1t has been estab-
lished that DIR. Crum was good enough
morally and mentally to be a collector,
and the President has said that if moth
ing worse could be found against him
than the fact that he was a negro that
objection should not debar him from
the same consideration any citizen
would receive. All the other federal
offices in Charleston are held by white
men.
The situation is an interesting one. 1t
is expected that the nomination will be
confirmed, and if it is there will prob
ably be no earthquake. DR.. Crum will
doubtless make good collector, and his
appointment will encourage all who be-
lieve with President Roosevelt that the
negro should have a fair show, and not
be shut out from the rewards of merit
or of skill solely on the ground that his
color isn't in accordance with the most
prevalent tint.

In the old copy-books "politeness
pays was one of the copies" Some
times it certainly does, and perhaps in
large sense it always does. Anyhow.
it pays often enough to justify the as
sertion in copy-book that it pays. S.
II. Brown, a conductor on the New
York Central, is just now sure that it
pays, although there have doubtless
been times in his experience when he
wasn't sure. In October, 1901, he was
conducting" a train that ran to and
from the Pan-American Exposition. In
going through his train one day he met
a woman and her two daughters. who
had been rendered temporarily penni-
less by the loss of the family purse on
the exposition grounds. Conductor
Brown advanced the necessary money
to pay their fare to the station where
they desired to go, and then sent them
to their hotel. The other day Brown
received at Niagara Falls a letter bear
ing the Philadelphia postmark When
he opened it new ne-thousand-d dollar
bill tluttered to the floor. Brown was
astonished when he read the letter,
which was unsigned. The letter re-
called the exposition incident and told
how the writer had been impressed
with Browns courtesy and kindness,
and that the bill was remembrance
of his deed. The writer said the amount
sent was nothing to her.
This is a delightful incident. Of
course everybody who is polite can't
expect a thousand dollars. but the fact
that such a prize has been drawn by
anybody is encouraging. The story
should be cut out and pasted in the
hats of all men and women. Action
under it would benefit all concerned,
and hope Of thousand-dollar bill could
spring eternal.

Religious emotions and sentiments of
charity, propriety and self-denial seem
to have taken the place in him of no
tiOns of justice and regard for the
rights of others"
Traits like these account for the read
mess with which the great oil mOnopO-
ly seizes the present opportunity to
take advantage of public distress and
intlict hardship upon millions of people
by advancing the price Of its product,
while the head of the concern seeks to
do good" by giving a million dollars
every now and then to pet institution
Of learning. 1t is pity that men like
him cannot be brought to realize the
fundamental truth that selfishness and
evil are Identical and that therefore no
amount Of giving for charitable or
other benefiCent purposes can atone for
the sin of violating just laws before
which all men have a right to equal
treatment. 1t is no wonder that there
is rapidly growing sentiment that it
would be a far greater economy to sup
port such institutions at the public
charge than to have the treasures of
oil, Of coal and Of other things which
God in His infinite wisdom placed in
the depths Of the earth for the good Of
man exploited by a few individuals,
mainly for their own advantage and
perhaps. incidentally, to enable one Of
them now and then to crafty his own
notions Of what might be for the good
of his felloWs.-Boston Herald.

The Standard Oil Magnate Mixed Piety

In her admirably written history of
the Standard Oil company, now appear
ing in McClure's Magazine, Miss Ida
Tarbell has concise estimate of GER
tain contradictory aspects in the char
acter of the chief figure In that huge
monopoly. Mr.. Rockefeller was
good, writes the author. There
was no more faithful Baptist in Cleve
land than he. Every enterprise Of that
church he supported literally from his
youth. He gave to it's poor. He visited
its sick. He went with its suffering.
Moreover, he gave unostentatiously to
many outside charities Of whose worth
mess he was satisfied. He was simple
and frugal in his habits. He never
went to the theater, never drank wine.
He was a devoted husband, and he
gave much time to the training of his
children, seeking to develop in them his
own habits Of economy and of charity
Yet he was willing to strain every ierve
to obtain for himself social and illegal
privileges from the railroads which
were bound to ruin every man in the
oil business not sharing them with him.

year the outgo of grain through that
port aggregated only 16,4S1,455 bushels,

shrinkage was due to the corn-crop fail

dropped on one knee and made a dec

Municipal ownership Of public utili-
ties" sounds as we'll In Macon, Mis-
souri,, as in other places, but it doesn't
seem to work as well there as it's ad-
vocates say it does in other places. J.
J. Heifner, editor of the Times Demo-
crat Of Macon, gives some interesting
testimony concerning the doings there.
Eleven years ago, he writes, Macon
voted $4,000 for electric lights and
water works They have succeeded in
paying 500 of this debt in eleven
years and in putting the city 1000
in the hole. They have robbed every
other fund to run the electric light and
water works, with the above result. We
have been able to have plenty of water
when it was raining all the time and
plenty of light when the moon was
shining. We can give no reason for
this save bad management and favor
itF'n. 1t is an old saying, What is
everybody's business is nobodys bust
ness and this seems to be the motto
Of municipal ownership SO far as Ma
con is concerned. These are the facts
according to the record and can be sub
Stimulated upon investigation"
OF course facts like these don't have
much weight with the thorough advo-
Gates Of municipal ownership" etc.
They know that their theory is all
right and if 1t doesn't happen to work
it isn't the fault of the theory, or of it's
advocates.

output last year being nearly half that

ton yesterday, and, it is understood. con-
suited the board as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
securing superinte ndent to succeed Dr.
Givens. No definite action was taken.
Should a change be decided upon, how
ever, it is believed the appointment will
be given to DIR. Hoover of Montpelier.

the board will insist on the removal of

Nav Extend Tramway to Lookout

Lookout, April 9-The proposition is
now advanced to extend the upper ter
minus of the Summit tramway to this
place, which would make an additional
four miles. The tramway. as originally
planned, was to extend from Summit, on
the highlands above the Clearwater, to
Agatha, on the Clearwater Short Line.
Monday the Summit Tramway company
bought the Lenore Grain company's i'm
terests at that place, and it was dec ded
to make the lower terminus at Lenore.
II is not Thought that this change in
the plans will increase the cost OF putting
in the tram, but If it is decided to extend
the head of the tramwAy TO Lookout, the
expense Of erection will be greatly in
creased. However, it is admitted that
with the upper terminus at Lookout
the amount of country served would be-
greatly enlarged and that it is probable
the tramway now projected from the
Melrose country would not be built.
