NUMBERING The AGED.

Editor Times Republican,: Over for
ty years ago a very brilliant young
man was editoc of religious journal
in New York. Boss Tweed, as he was
called, was then for time the auto
cratic ruler of that city, which he did
by INSCRIPTIONS and corrupt means.
The young editor admitted Tweed's
power and wrote about it, that it was
useless for the better people to waste
their efforts against him. 1t was not
many years TIL Boss Tweed was in
the penitentiary where he since died.
Later this young editor wrote of the
United States senator, stating that if
said senator did not make six thous-
and a year he was not making use of
his opportunities. Again, he wrote
bringing out the thought that when the
aged person becomes feeble and the
lamp of life burns low, when the
memory weakened, and the appetites
and desires have failed, when friends
of past years have almost all gone to
their graves, and poverty adds it's bur-

RocKEFELER,s MONEY.

ICedar Rapids Republican,
In all probability If the clergy of
Philadelphia had it within their power
to determine, the millions left by
Stephen Gerard for the education of
the orphans of Philadelphia and Penn
sylvania would have been rejected be-
cause Gerard was an intidel. Had
such been the case, what a strem of
benifience would have been diverted to
less noble ends. Money is power
either for good of evil. The money
which Rockefeller has accumulated
cannot be taken away from him, for
whatever may be thought of his meth
DDS, they were presumably within the
limits of the law, and in all probability
the methods employed by him are en-
ployed on a small scale in many places
by men who are equally oppressive
within their narrower limitations. Rock
efeller's methods have become con-
spicious by reason Of their ma gnitude.
If a portion of this great fortune be
given over to humanitarian purposes,

There are a good many people who

WHAT IS A BUSINESS FAILuRE7

For many years the statement that
men who engage in business fail in
the undertaking, has been accepted
without question. Many young man
contemplating business career has
sought advice from supposedly good
sources only to hear the chilling re-
ply: Better let business alone; re-
In one hundred of succeeding"
In this connection, some figures COM
piled by the editor of Bradstreets, are
of interest. They prove conclusively
that the old saying, SO far as condi-
tions prevailing for the past few years
are concerned, Is without foundation
The statistics in question, based upon
figures compiled for several years, in
dictate that the average annual per-
centage Of actual failures with inabil-
ity to pay debts, is less than / per
cent.
The term Success" however, is a
relative one. A man, for instance,
might engage in business for time
and although holding his own, or even
making small financial gains, would
ure and abandon the project. Another
man, under exactly the same con-
ditions, would be satisfied with the
same returns and consider the ven
ture a success.
These failures to succeed, if they
can properly be classed as failures,
can not be accurately counted, but it
Is shown by the figures above alluded
to that from the business register of
1903, there were 2S4,393 names erased,
and that during the same year there
were 322,0Os names added Without
doubt, many of the new enterprises
were the results.of the discontinuance
of others

fact, comparatively few, even of the
most successful firms, remain many
years under the same title.

always raean ultimate failure. 1t is

cons MONEY IS CLEAN MONEY.

DR. George l.. Cady, OF DUBUQUE
Hhose lecture before the Searchlight
Club has made him personally known
to Marshalltown people is out with an
open letter to the board of foreign
missions protesting against acceptance
of Mr.. Rockefeller's proffered gilt OF
100000 for foreign missions. DIR. Cady
recounts the offenses of the Standard
Oil Company and the unchristian man
ner in which the Rockefeller fortune
has been accumulated and asks, III
the American board shall accept this
money from this highwayman without
a, mask shall it not logically also share
in the spells Of any highwayman with
q mask?"
DIR. Cady's disgust at the money
vrenched from the commerce of the
country by the Standard OH system OF
business piracy Is natural and easily
understood 1t may be compared 10
the disgust of q community at the
stencil of paper mill. rendering
