Ubiquitous Methods.

1T has been forcibIy done. [ say: it
has been largely done through illicit
and iuiQuitouS control of railways.
Standard Oil has never ceased to use
this power in this way 1t is using it
today as effectively us it ever did.
MI Rockefeller may deny that re-
bates are now given to the STANDARD.
But the Standard now controls about
tWO-thiTds of the railroads Of this coun-
try, and its power is eXerted IN fixing
the classification of freights in such a
way that il can kill competition Re
bates are no longer necessary. Thus
this stupeudous power. which owes its
existence TO a shameful prostitution Of
agencies created by the public for the
public service. is now able to lay it's
paralyZiuE hand upon all the indus
tries Of the nation and to force them to
contribute to its enormous revenues
And this is the money which is offered
10 the American board, We have no
right to take it. 1t does not belong to
the man who offers it It belongs to
the people from whom il has been eX-
tDTteu.

Deadly Indifference.

1T is often assumed, L fear, that We
90 not need to be very scrupuIous about
money which we can use in doing
good That Indifference is deadly. The
good that is done by lowering our
ethical standards might better be left
undone. Shall the young men and wo-
men of the missionary colleges be
taught TO regard Mr.. Rockefeller as n
great benefactor2 The colleges might
better be permanently closed"
The American board also has received
a communication from Rev. A. H
Bradford Of Montclair, N !, former
moderator Of the national COngrega-
tOnai council and president of the
American Missionary association. ia
voring the acceptance Of Mr. Rockefel-
ler's gift DR.. Bradford's statement. III

Mr.. Bradford's Letter.

Mr.. Rockefeller is not seeking vim
dIcdtion and Is not trying TO. find some
one 10 shield him i'm evil courses. He
is. as il well known. minority stock
holder in the Standard Oil company,
and a large part Of his wealth has been
derived from other sources. This was
not a case of Mr. Rockefeller's seeking
a means of self justification. but it was
that of a noble enterprise in its extreme
need making its appeal TO him To that
appeal he yielded, not in any way
making the board his partner and not
asking il to give him any approval
Why refuse Mr.. ROckefeller's money
and accept the gifts of other stockhold-
ers Of tho Standard OIL company? no
one doubts that much money derived
from that and other similar sources

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The result of the election Tuesday,
AZ rule, must be gratifying to those
who believe In honest government. VI
course this will not satisfy the rabid
partisan. but The Herald Is not OF the
kind that believes a party should sue
ceed when harboring grafters and cor
ruptionists. The election Tuesday was
not political In any sense OF the WORD
one of local interest to those d.
rectly concerned and the people.

Durango semi-weekly herald., 1905-11-13

At a recent conference of Durango
business men, when a comparison of
present trade conditions with those
of the past nine years was made, it
was shown that collections are about
~ per cent better than they have been
FOR nine years; in fact. better than
they have ever been in the history OF
the city. 1t was shown, too. that cash
sales are for the last three months
more than double what they have been
during any similar period in the his
tory of the city.
And these better conditions arise
from the natural growth and progress
of the countrys industrial and COM
mercial interests.
A visitor from Denver who has
made a careful study of conditions
throughout the state says Durango is
in better shape than any other town
or city in Colorado.
The casual observer could not have
failed to note that the city has en-.
ioyed steady and increasing trade
during the past year.

EMPIRE STATES POPULATION.

The largest state in the Union is
still growing with great rapidity. AS
Just announced by the enumeration
bureau at Albany, New York states
population in 1905 is S.066,672. an In
crease OF 797.77S, or II per cent, In
the last five years, This gain at the
rate of 20 per cent in ten years is a
vast expansion for such a big com
munity. 1t means that population
greater than that of Kansas or Cali
fornia is added to the total of the
state of New York every ten years.
Though Illinois, Texas and a few other
states grow in larger ratio than New
York, none OF them makes anything
like such large addition to it's pop
ulation aggregate every decade.
AS was to be expected. New York
City has grown much faster than the
rest of the state in the past FIVE years
and has now 4,O14,304 people, as com.
pared with 4,052,36S for the rest OF
the state. Practically half of the
states population is gathered in the
big municipality at the mouth of the
Hudson. BY 1910 the city will be
ahead Of the remainder Of the state.
New York City added 577 900 to its
population since 1900. which is more
people than st, Louis had in 1900. or
any other town in the country had
In that year except New York itself
and Chicago and Philadelphia. Its ex-
pansion in the past five years is at the
ros r>f in, rhn
present indications are that the ratio
in the next five years will be larger
than in the past Ave.
New York City is so far ahead OF
all the other towns in the world ex.
cept London that there is no third
In 1901 the city of London had $1,000
people, the county had 4,536,0 and
the metropolitan district, or Greater
London, had 6,5S0,000. II the popula.
ton of New York's entire metropoli-
tan district, in New Jersey as well as
In the lower end of Westchester coun.
ty, was counted In, New York would
have 100000 people now. At the
present rate of increase OF the two
towns the existing New York City will
pass the Greater London by 1925. 1t
is ricner than London now, does more
business. has greater bank clearings.
and will beat 1t as foreign shipping
point by 1912. When. at the opening
of 1861. the New York Herald wanted
New York City to cut loose from the
rest of the state and join the Confed-
eracy. nobody In that town or any
where else could have foreseen its
present magnificent dimensions.-
