WHAT ROSS THINKS
NEBRASKA UNIVERSITY PROFESS
SoR is OUTsPokEN
Denounces in Good, Round Terms the
Captains of Industry Who Have
Turned Out to Be Liars. Thieves
and Hypocrites

In view OF : Chancellor Andrews
views regarding predatory wealth it
is refreshing to quote the ringing
words of Professor Ross, spoken at
a convocation of university of Ne
braska students few days ago. After
reviewing the testimony in the insur-
ance investigation he said:
Sham RespectabIes
mot that the principles Of the life
insurance companies are uasound or
that all the insurance companies are
rotten, but that many OF the adopts
of high finance, who for years posed
as captains OF industry, men who do
things authors of our prosperity,
'saviors of the country's honor and
from the vantage ground of wealth
and prominence and of social prestige,
have stigmatized as anarcnistic, So
cialistic,' and dishonest movements
that have APPEALED largely to the plain
people OF this country, are now proven
to be liars, thieves and hypOcrites.
power has been conclusively demon
strated.
The secret of the magic growth Of
mushroom fortunes that rise in a
night, like the fairy palaces of the
Arabian Nights, is out. Economists
must now list graft as among the
sources of many great fortunes. One
of the causes of the oft deplored de-
cadence of our state legislatures is
uncovered The Capitalization OF
credit institutions in the neighbor-
hood of Wall street has been shown
to be needless and dangerous.
Concentration Of Control
"The concentration of the control
of the powerful corporations of the
United States in the hands OF about
eighty men, who are directors in
twenty, thirty or forty corporations
apiece, results in dual allegiance,
dummy directorates, perrunctory dis
charge of the duties or trustees and
the elevation of the hired officer OF
the corporation from the position OF
servant to that of master.
One result of the revelations will
be a greater reliance upon the home
corporations and a broadening OF
financial control by drawing into the
directorates OF the corporations new
men who have time TO attend to the
duties of director"

Whetsell said that until a complete

to make any statement for publica

Mr.. Whetsell did say, however, that
the alleged shortage arises from annu

made by the then cor ptroller general

general was auditing clerk and made
the settlements himself and pronouc

husbands in Revolt.

Thoroughly disgusted by the univer-
sal giving up OF their wives to social
functions, go citizens of Williams.
port, Warren county, Ind, have en-.
terer vigorous protests against the
practice, and have demanded In no
uncertain terms that there must be
more conservation to home duties and
less devotion TO clubs. The recent
utterances OF Mr.. Cleveland on the
sui oct caused much comment among
tue husband, and it was concluded
that the OK president knew a thing or
two about womcn that he was not
afraid to tel, and the Williamsport
husbands d ttcrmined to be equally
bold. This led to protests home, and
when there were ignored, another
plan WAS advanced. The husbands
met yesterday afternoon, had a pink
tea OF their own, and then marched
in a body TO the various places, where
their wives were being entertained
and burleSqued their social functions.
The husbands were followed by o lar.
sc crowd OF boys and single mon and
the affair was made as grotesque as
possible.

own Your own Homo.

1t is surprising the amount Of rent
a man will pay, If he stops long enough
TO figure it out. Many young men who
marry and settle down" and begin to
pay rent will be far better IF in ten
years If they begin purchasing property
this year than Il they conti! US to pay
rent. Many of them do not stop long
enough In their daily work to think Of
q possible rainy day and years Of old
age, but go on spending the fruit of
their toll until the time comes when
they have to step down and out to
make room for the young men Of the
future. Then comes the old, old ques-
tion. They are not prepared for an
emergency of this kind, and they wish
that they had bought when they were
young and have a home Of their own
Wien the the time OF acquiring it Is
passed. Ninety.nine times out OF a
hundred the property purchased in.
creases In value. Why not 6gue this
out to your own satisfaction, make up
your mind and start at once to pre-.
pare u home, Where were you six,
eight, ten, or fifteen years ago and
what did you have. If you have paid
rent all these years you have your rent
receipts to show where your money
has gone, but where is the home you
night have owned IL you had been
paying your money towards a home OF
ytu r own. What will you have them
WIN 1t be a home Of your own or a
bundle OF rent receipts. All real es
tate has a value, and II purchased at
this value the buyer cannot possibly
lose. Lock around you, If you are an
old resident OF this city, you know
about what certain pieces of property
sold for ten or fifteen years ago.. What
are they worth today? We do not
need to answer. In the history Of the
past you have many models, and all
before you is an almost absolute Ger.
ta!Dty that real estate valures will
continue to rise, with the increase Of
population and the natural demands
for residential and business locations.
Which do you prefer, the comfort Of
y"ur own home or a package Of rent
receipts, and live in the other fellows
house. Why longer pay tribute to
Caesal? Why not be independent?

Tho Explanation OF the Summary Dis
missal OF n Cierls.

t.. EG" H.llg .N4r.E..f
The biggest sensation In government
service In Waahingtcn IN year was the
dismissal. without hearing or chance
of defence, OF Walter 8. Elvidge, a
messenger Of the bureau of standards,
which comes under this department. CO
commerce and labor.
No reason was assigned for the dis,
miSsal, bat Ii Is 10 known that Ely.
idge Is the man who was driving an
automobile a few days ago In front of
the carriage of President Roosevelt
and would not move out Of the way to
let the carriage Of the president, by
annoying the president by the dust he
threw behind.
AS q result Of the act Of Elvidge,
who was appointed from Minnesota,
the President Tuesday issued an order
comforting upon cabinet officers and
himself the righr of instant dismissal,
without notice or nearing, Of any en-.
ploye OF the government service ob
served to be conducting himself em-
properly or to be inefficient. 1t Is sup
posed that the president Immediately
gave orders to Secretary Metcslf to
have Elvidge dismissed, and this was
done Thursday. When seen on the
subject Secretary Metcalf declined to
give the reasons for the dismissal OF
Elvtdge or to admit that he was the
man who had kept in the way Of the
president. The action Of the depart
ment was accomplished with the great.
est kind CT mystery.
President Roosevelt himself, under
civil service regulations, that existed
until Tuesday, could not bring about
the dismissal Of Elvldge without filing
charges agaist him and permitting
Elvidge to file a defence, but under the
new order Eiyidge was not allowed
defence.
The statement Of E.v,dge is that he
did not know that he was keeping lie
front Of the Presidents carriage. HI
did not know whose carriage he was
In front Of. He remembers that som
II (ne now understands it was a sec
ret service otficer) motioned to him tx
get out OF the way, but that he die
not pay any attention, because If hi
had crossed to the other side of tn,
street he would have violated Distric'
regulations and laws as to keeping tt
one side Of the street, allowing the
other for vehicles coming from an op
