PROTECTION FOR THE GENEROUS


The Merchants Association of San
Francisco is a very live institution It
cuts a large figure in the affairs of the
city, political and sociological as we'll
as commercial. one service which that
association renders to its members that
has been much appreciated by them is
the establishment of what is known
as the charities Endorsement committee.
About two years and half ago the
themselves so frequently the victims
of their own generous disposition ,.nu
the INSCRIPTIONS methods }Of profess
sional beggars that they undertook to
protect themselves against imposition.
They did it by creating this indorSe-
ment committee, which issues Il card
to all the members of the association,
which announces in large poster type
that this establishment is a member Of
the association and contributes to no
charity not Endorsed by the special
committee When solicitor for chart
table purposes enters the office, his
attention is at once directed to this
announcements, and unless he can pre-
approval of the Endorsement commit
tee no attention is paid to his request.
The Merchants Association Review
prints page of testimonials from bust
ness men expressing how much they
appreciate this arrangement, an ar
rangement which protects them from
imposition. relieves them from all re-
sponsibility of investigating the merits
of the numerous propositions presented
to them and makes the giving of aims
a thoroughly scientific affair. These
business men say they would not be
what it costs them, ana that the eff
feet of it has been o practically kill
off all fraudulent solicitors.
The extent to which the public is
imposed upon by canvassers for osten-
sibly charitable purposes certainly
iustifies some such means Of prOtec-
ton as this and recent experience in
many towns indicates that there is need
of it here as much as anywhere. 1t is
probably not generally suspected, but
it is nevertheless true, that there are
people who are in the business regu-
larly Of soliciting for charitable instl-
tutions. They engage to raise money
for them ON a percentage basis, even on
a very high percentage, so that the
contributor is sometimes, when dOnat-
ing $40 presumably to the uses of the
institution itself, really giving 50 of
it to the canVaSSer.

EDUCATIONAL QUESTIONS.

The North American Review has an
dell, professor of English at Harvard
university. called our National Su-
perstitiOn." in which he compares the
munificence of American educational
foundations to the vast endowment Of
religious institutions in the middle
ages. Then. they founded the churches
and cathedrals; now, We found uni
versities and libraries.
1t has been Professor Weudell's duty
to examine collegians seeking TO enter
for degrees at Harvard ana he con-
fesses that he has found 50 many of
them without education that he begins
to doubt the value of the vast educa-
tionaI organization of the country. He
says that in all this newer education
from the kindergarten almost to the
degree of doctor of philosophy the stu
dent is compelled to study nothing. He
is merely allowed to pursue such sub
tertained and polished, but not educat-
ed. Year by year as the new ideas gain
ascendency the students enter coiiege

members to pledge themselves to reg
ulate the rate on lumber to Nebraska,
Kansas, South Dakota and other Mis-
souri, river points" One would sup
pose that every ell-informed bust
ness man would understand that the
legislature has no power to regulate
railroad rates outside of the boundaries
of this state. The lumbermen should
call upon the interstate commerce
commission if interstate rates are not
satisfactory to them.
The proposition of the lumbermen
is so absurd on its face that it looks
like it might be another phase of the
old game of the railroads to play the
Iumbermen of the west side against the
wheat growers of the east side. The
latter are demanding the creation of a
railway commission to regulate rates
within the state. Instead of joining
lumbermen demand a freight rate bill
drawn for their especial benefit. At
the Legislative session Of 1899 the Pres
ton commission bill was defeated by
just such methods. The railroads
granted a voluntary reduction of 20
per cent to the lumbermen in order to
secure the votes of west side leSisla-
tors against the commission bill. A
few eastern Washington legislators
also voted against the bill under the
pretense that the reduction in lumber
rates would mean cheaper lumber Tor

Not satisfied with the allowance OF
in the body of the magazine, he has
burst the bonds of editorial convention
and appropriated several pages in the
advertising section. part of which he
uses to reply to the scores of letters
and Inquiries which his remarkable
articles have brought him. He deals
with his critics in much the same spirit
he handles the financiers-Without
gloves. incidentally, the October issue
of Everybodys is $4,000; the issue of
September was $4,000. and a second
edition had to be printed.
The October instalment of 'Frenzied
Finance is devoted to John Edward
OSullivan Addicks, through whom Mr.
Lawson first encountered Standard Oil
and H. H. Rogers. There is nothing
mild or conventional about his descrip-
ton of the Delaware statesman. 1t is
a terrific and ruthless Indictment OF
the man and his methods, supported
by specific details and incidents, and
set forth with the same vivid art which
characterzes the study of H. H. Rogers
in an earlier number. The description
of Addicks capture of Boston and its
gan companies is one of the most grim
w humorous and entertaining pictures
Mr.. Lawson has yet given.
Otherwise Everybody's is as timely
and entertaining as ever. The several
articles are all about topics decidedly
