What the Editors Say

While il is impossible to approve the
system whereby Mr.. Rockefeller has
amassed his wealth, to refuse a frac-
ton Of that wealth to be devoted to a
rlghteeus cause would seem to be
fatner me spun proceeding. The
cause is the thing. If the board can
not make perfect man of Mr.. Rookie
Teller, 1t can make good use of his
money in leading other men from the
error OF their ways. That is what
missions are for. 1t will certainly not
make Mr.. Rockefeller any the less a
monopolist to decline his gift. 1t might
even make him the less Christian, for
ne might be angry and that is wrong

Some of the Simon pure Republic

Gov. Johnson be hard man to defeat,
Out II he proves what is wanted in the
state, why defeat him? The steel
trust, the Standard Oil monopoly and
the pine timber thieves must not be
permitted to dictate who shall or shall
not be governor, even if they have the
able assistance of the mergerites. If
Gov. Johnson continues to perform his
duties satisfactorily and vetoes some
or the legislative woodchucks when
they reach him. he will earn the graft
