THE MENACE OF "GRAFT."
An 0bsrIin College Speech on
Bodies Far Preaching
Effects.

0berlin, o., July flames B.
Dill, OF New York, In the course OF a
speech to the graduating class OF
Oberlin college, gave scathing
rebuke to men who misuse positions
OF honor and trust for the purpose OF
personal gain. In urging his hearers
to 20 "bsck to beginnings" Mr.. Dill
contended that grating" which
was foreign to the true American
character, had been developed by the
mad rush for wealth and the recogni
tion OF false standards by educated
men in the competitive struggle for
business power and social promi-
nsnce. He said in part:
A large part OF our modern pros
perity is to a perilously large extent
bottomed upon an overproduction OF
fraud and sham. The crisis Is acute.
A feeling Of distrust Is growing
throughout the country. Many
branches OF financial business have
been In one way or another taken
possession Of by the unscrupulous for
the purpose Of deceiving the unwary
Trust companies have been made th'
mediums Of the fiotation OF speciou'
and fraudulent promotions.
Some companies in the field OF lii
Insurance, the highest and, In sense
a sacred form OF Investment, are, a
we all know now, conduits through
which the savings Of the policy hold
ers are diverted into operations 10
speculative purposes. Credit AM
good faith, not money, are the basi
OF business. Good or bad, our mod

FRANK I. HOWE, Editor and Publisher
Newspaper Making.

There are no people in any commun'
ity who work harder or more consci-
entiously for as small margin of
profit as the newspaper makers from
Office devil to editor, and the following
from the Mortified News is no more
than affair statement;
''In no profession, trade or industry
in Vermont has there been a greater
advance than in journalism. A com
parison OF the newspapers OF today
with even those Of ten years ago, will
convince anyone of this fact. The
number Of newspapers has not largely
increased during that time and perhaps
this is one OF the principal reasons
why the quality is much better.
"The daily press has made great
strides and its general as we'll as It's
local news service compares favorably
with that of any other state The
weekly newspapers, with few eXcep-
tions, cover their respective fields
most thoroughly, and are strong, en-.
thusiastic advocates of the upbulding
OF their communities. Editorially, the
Vermont press, as whole, is indepen-
dent and progressive-mor so today
than at any other time in its history.
Vermont provides for very little
legal printing in its newspapers, less
perhaps than In almost any other state
the income from that source being
nominal. A reasonable percentage of
the merchants in almost every town
where newspapers are published are
progressive and consequently good pa
irons Of the advertising columns of
their local journals. In thus availing
themselves OF this opportunity, the
business men not only bring increased
trade TO their stores. but by their lib
eral patronage, encourage the publish
ers in making newspapers OF quality
which are credit to their towns and
whose influence does much for the ad-
vancement morally and financially of
their respective communities. YER
mont people also give their local
newspapers loyal support in the way
of subscriptions, and get their mon
ey's worth, too.
''The best newspaper in Vermont +?
To answer this question, taking into
consideration the field and conditions
governing the publications, would re-
quire a list of more than seventy five
per cent. of the journals of the state.
"If the press of Vermont makes as
marked an Improvement in the next
ten years as it has in the past dec ade,
il will no doubt, keep fully up to the
general progress of the state. 1t can,
and undoubtedly will do this. if it
continues to deserve the co operation
of the business interests and of the
people generally"
