"BLOoD MONEY"
Should Churches and Coll
Ie9es Accept It2

Lincoln, Neb., June 4.-Com-
menting in his CommOner Of to-
morrow on the practice Of church
es and universities accepting gifts
from those whom he terms monOp-
Olists, Mr.. Bryan questions the
propriety Of it. Making John D.
Rockefeller a case in point, he
says, in part:
The subject is worthy of con-
sideration, because, if private mo-
nopolies continue to grow, it is
likely to become a more and more
important issue. First, can
worthy institution afford to accept
money that is wrongly accumulat-
edi In order to establish the
principle, let us take an extreme
case, and assume that gang of
highwaymen should succeed in ac-
cumulating large sums by rObbing
travellers, and also succeed in so
terrifying the authorities as to es-
cape punishment. Would any
Christian college or any other
worthy institution feel justified in
accepting donations from such a
group of individuals while they
continued in lawlessnessi
"In the case of Mr.. Rockefeller,
it is a fact known to all that he
not only derives a part of his pres
ent income from the Standard oil
company, but that the dividends
of his Standard oil stock have fur
nished the money for his other in
vestments. The tremendous pyra-
mid of his fortune rests upon the
stock of the Standard oil company,
and it is a matter only too well
known that in acquiring his for
tune he has resorted to every evil
Ipractice known to the trusts. He
has forced rivals to sell to him by
cutting off their market or source
of supply, or both; he has bank
rupted men who refused to sane
ton his business methods. He has
violated the laws of the state aud
nation"

This comment from the Kansas
City Star, and let the old legisla-
tor warn other preachers too: The
Rev. Creighton s. Brooks. of JEFF
ferson City, the Christian minis
ter who helped largely in stirring
up a row over legislative cOrrup-
tiOn, is habitual smoker, but he
denied himself CbaceO in all forms
thruOut the session of the Legisla-
ture. He explained the other day
why he did so. 1t was his way of
paying a kind of bribe to Repre-
sentative Golden of NOdaway
county. Brooks was a candidate for
chaplain of the House, and asked
Golden for his vote. vI'll give it,"
said Golden, who has rather as
cetic ideas of morality, "if you'll
agree not to smoke during the
session.
l agreed" said Brooks. II
was beaten for chaplain, but 1 had
to keep my promise, and for sew
enty-fve days l did not smoke
single cigar" But this persistent
reformer of others could not, would
not, stay reformed himself. While
he was talking he was putting Wig
OrOusly at strong weed. The
minute heard that the legislature
had adjourned" be concluded, "I
lighted fresh cigar and went
back to my old habits"

The Same Old story.

Here is a little comment, by the
Kansas City World, which every
young lady reader of the MESSAGE
will do we'll to study, and never
forget:
When young woman shoots
herself after association with men
such as must blast the reputation
there may be no reason for com
ment. The affair constitutes an
old story. Out in Seattle there
was a young woman of refinement
dying in intelligence, fairly we'll
educated, of some personal beauty.
She travelled the path so many
have trod, and when she saw
whittier the path led, decided to
stop. She could not turn aside;
there was one way and she Dtook
it. There will be no inclination
to be harsh with her. When q
woman falls she merely falls to
the level of some man.
The strangest part of such an
episode is its commonness. 1t is
happening of every day, but the
experience of one unfortunate
seems to convey no lesson but
comes too late to her. Why can
not girls understand that the men
ready to lure them by the promise
of marriage are blackhearted
scoundrels, all? There no excep-
tiOns. Why cannot they learn
that when they get into the newt
able trouble they will be deserted
there and cast off, No fact in
life is palmer, aud yet it is fact
that the trusting feminine nature
does not seem to grasp.
There is a right way and wrong
way of living. In the main the
conscience of the individual is the
guide, and there are certain con,
ventions it is well to observe. One
of these conventions is marriage
The man who in good faith seeks
the hand of a woman in m arIiagt
pays her the highest compliment
in his power. When he seeks the
association that marriage implies
but would waive the ceremony, he
insults her beyond all fOrgiving,
and in inexplicable stupidity she
sometimes fails to see this soon
enough. When in her distress
she seizes a pistol and tries to es-
cape, she has seen it. The girl
with her own battle to fight car
fight it honestly and have the re
spect of all who know her. o.
she eau listen to the voice of thu
tempter and in the reports from
the mOrgue will be found the eli
max of her story.

Some day the people will come
to realize that practical politics"
in any department of the govern
ment is a gentle way of referring
to political dishonesty. The Off
cial who schools himself to doing
dishonest things for the benefit of
the party is but paving the way to
doing dishonest things for him
self.

Note this interesting item from
the WOman's Home Companion:
Soda is one of the least expensive
aud most indispensable articles in
kitchen use. Acid fruits, such as
gooseberries, rhubarb and plums
require less sugar if a little soda
half a teaspOonful to one quart
of fruits added before the sug-
ar. Bathing a patient in hot So
da water will reduce the fever. A
little soda put in water in which
meat and vegetables are boiled
will make them tender aud sweet.
besides Fastening the cooking aud
thereby saving fuel. When added
to dishwater no soap is needed,
and there is no greasy rim around
your dishpan. Ia warm weather
meats will be freshened by wash
ing in cold soda water before cook
ing.
