the last. You ought to be proud of a
brother like that. He never should
have gone to the rope, but we were

seemed to have developed desire to
finish us. I'm going, too, some day.
They did not get done IN time to let

CHRISTIANITY AND MoNopoLY

Editor Independent: For the last
ten or twelve years the money power
has had powerful ally in the Chris
tian church. Nearly every denomina-
tion has been more or less guilty in
this respect Whenever the great
money kings and trust magnates
needed the services of the church they
were very liberal with their contribu-
tions towards its institutions and
their money always proved to be well
spent, "for the gift blindeth the wise
and perverteth the words of the
righteous"
But in these latter days when we
pops are about TO give up our noble
fight, we find that here and there the
clergy is getting it's eyes wide open
to the fact that these plutocratic con-
tributors are undermining the very
foundation of the church. For in
stance, Der Christliche Apologize,
published by Jennings & Pye, CinciE-
natl, o., official organ of the German
M. e. church, in an editorial sever al

wound up with congratulating its
Baptist brethren on possessing such
Q pillar in the church and wishing
for similar one in the Methodist
church. But notice the editors recent
change of mind. In the following arti-

ence with their robberies Of the con-
suming public The average repubii-
can official owes his election to the
railroads and not to the middle
class" citizens; he is encouraged by
his hackers to build up a strong ina
chine" no matter what the cost--for
the other fellow must pay for it.
But populists and democrats in Of
fee have no such sanctions. Every
item of extravaganza is felt by those
to whom they owe their election, and
as the middle class" has no special
privileges to ask for at the hands Of
the legislature, the natural result is
a better, more economical and more
honest administration by democrats
and populists than can be had at the
hands of republicans. 1t is not so
much matter of personality as en-
virOnment; not so much the officials
themselves as it is "the power behind
the throne"
1t is true, as the News says, that
the legislatures are srowiLg more
and more extravagant" And for the
reason that they are growing more
and more republican. The majority
are republicans. elected by railroad in
fluence, and under obligations to the
railroads and other corporations. TO
a great extent, too, legislatures re-
spond to the demands for appropria-
tions made by the executive officers
and heads of institutions. There may
be some pruning in places but as a
general rule these administrative Off
cials get what they really 60 after. A
glance at the total appropriations
made in recent years will show why
the state debt is increasing-and that,
too, in the face Of greatly Increased

"ROCKEFELLER'S RELIGIOUS
PROFESSION.

Americas richest man, John D.
Rockefeller, is, as is we'll known, not
reserved with his religious profession,
but unfortunately his deeds are large
ly at variance with his profession.
His minister frequently calls on him
to speak word during the testimon-
ial hour which follows the Sunday
morning sermon. At such an occasion
Mr.. Rockefeller recently said, among
other things: The personal comfort
and inner peace which lie for me in
the Christian religion make me often
wish for an opportunity to tell it to
all the people from the pulpit" His
wish to change his vocation with the
minister shows his respect for the
ministry, and one could delight in the
glorious profession If the deeds of the
man were in harmony with it. But
a man who in three decades aceumu-
lated nearly billion dollars-his
wealth is estimated at 1865, COO ,000-
can scarcely have come by it justly
and honestly. Through heartless
manipulations in the oil business he
has crowded every competitor to the
wall. He successfully evsded the
laws of the land and marched over
the vast realms of ruined existences
like the great Napoleon over bloody
battlefields. In business he knows no
respect. feeling, nor generosity. In
his financial transactions he Is as

HOW CLARK BUYS A BOND
Which Guarantees His Family an Els.
tate, If He Dies, and Himself a
l~ Home, if He Lives.

Mr.. Clark, aged thirty-fve, is man.
ager of the elevator In the town of Sa-
lem. The position pays him good
salary, enabling him to support his
family and lay aside about 5000 per
year. Though he is now living COM
fortably, he realizes that he must de-
wise some way of providing an income
for his declining years.
His idea is to buy farm. During
period Of meditation as to whether
or not he shall purchase certain quar-
ter section of land which is for sale at
5000, he is interviewed by represen-
tative Of the Old Line Bankers Life In
surance company Of Lincoln, Nebraska,
who endeavors to interest him in Life
Insurance.
Hardly does the agent get well start
ed, when he is interrupted by Mr.. Clark
who tells him of his intention to buy.
a farm. He states that he is about to
make small payment on the purchase
price and will, If the agent can offer
anything better be an interested
listener.
We'll" said the agent, suppose you
buy farm worth $4,000 by paying the
small sum of $17525 annually without
interest, for twenty years, the con-
tract for same containing a clause spe-
cifying that, should you die at any
time. the party from whom you buy
the land will cancel all deferred pay
n1ents, and give your estate clear
title; or if you live to the maturity OF
the contract, give you not only the deed
to the land, but pay you as large per-
centage of profit as you could reason
ably expect to make from the property.
Would you buy farm on. those
terms?"
OF course Mr. Clark was interested,
and since the Company secures each
and every contract issued with a de-
posit of approved securities with the
State of Nebraska, he expressed a will
ingness to become party to such an
agreement
WELL" continued the agent, "if you
will pay annually to the Old Line Bank
ers Life Insurance Company of Ne
braska the sum of s17525 they will, il
you die at any time, pay to whom You
nay name the sum of $1,000. If YOU
live twenty years, they will give you
cash settlement consisting of the guar
anteed reserve and an estimated sur
plus, amounting to 5,49125. You will
readily see that you receive $1,986.25
more than you pay In, which is better
than four per cent compound interest.
Then. too, having the assurance that.
should you die, you would leave COM
Portable estate" Mr.. Clark bought the
insurance, and what Mr.. Clark did you
can do.
Permit our agent to explain a con-
tract to you. III you do not own all
