Any extended discussion of the press
explanation of the blowing UP of the
Maine seems to us Improbable. The
probabilities are that the tale itself
is of the cock and bull order. 1t comes
from a confessed criminal, avid of no
toriety as most such men are. 1t
comes too long after the event to adj
Nor is it the first of its kind. There
have been a lot of alleged explanations
of the destruction of the Maine since
that act startled two countries into
war, and none of them has been found
worthy of credence. Let this one go
with the rest.
The real facts in the case will no
more be revealed than the old Maine
herself will sail the seas again. 1t is
not even desirable that they should.
The act served it's part in the history
and the progress of the world. 1t was
the signal for ending a situation that
must soon have been ended without IL.
1t gave new turn to history. Its con-
sequences are written in the annals Of
the nations for all time. Nothing
could now turn them back. nothing
could now materially alter them 1t

advantage to no one-if we had the
veracious history of the destruction Of

its source, stale by repetition and in

NEITHER MAN NOR MONEY, BUT
METHOD

The statement made by Rev. WASH
ington GLADDEN. represents faithfully
the attitude of those who oppose on
conscientious grounds the acceptance by
the American board for foreign mis-
sions of John d. Rockefeller's gift Of
100000. 1t is next to impossible to
keep this matter straight. Sentiment
and prepossession run away with peo-
pies judgment, and they talk about the
iniquity of accepting his gift on ac-
count of the man behind it, and speak
of tainted money" and make other as
sertions equally ridiculous or irrele-
want.
The whole question is whether a re-
ligious organization can afford to put
itself in the position of accepting and
using a large sum of money without
inquiry into the method by which that
money was originally obtained 1t is a
very ancient question, originating
many centuries before Mr. Rockefeller
or the Standard Oil company were ever
heard Of. 1t states in another form
the immemorial inquiry whether the
end can justify the means.
Those who nationally object to the
acceptance of this gift have no refiec-
tons to cast upon the personal charac-
ter of Mr.. Rockefeller. They are not SO
foolish as to invest cash with moral
qualities, or to believe that the mere
coin or greenback is better or worse for
having been honestly earned or filched
from the poor. They do assert that he
who accepts and uses funds for any
purpose is bound to inquire into the
method by which the money was orig
inally obtained. There are charitable
organizations whose work is so noble
as to be almost divine that are always
in need Of money, that could put every
dollar where it would become a bless
ing. and that certainly would not ac-
cept purse from a thief who was
known to have snatched it from its
possessor, even although detection might
be impossible and the refund could not
be enforced. They who inculcate high
moral ideas must be true to those ideas
in the best sense in their own practice
and in their own hearts.
This is the issue raised. The founda-
tons on which the Rockefeller fortune
is built are well known. The charac-
ter of the operations of the Standard
OIL company has been thoroughly ex-
planned. Can great organization
whose purposes are religious afford to
sustain itself upon money so obtained

AN INCAPABLE LOT

Ahe uepuDllcdn legislature or this
state has shown itself thus far to be a
BODY of rare incapacity. This is not
wholly an evil. inasmuch as there is
little call for legislative activity. Few
things need to be done, and that COM
munity is best off which is least fur
nished with an overlooking abundance
Of new laws. At the same time there
! are always a few things that ought to
be done; and these our legislature.
which is practically solid Republican
body, has displayed neither disposition
nor ability to do.
The latest exhibition of this is the
( failure of all the bills relating to the
primary election laws. This was an
excellent test. The direct primary sys-
tenn is firmly established in the favor of
the people Of the state 1t has been
only partially applied, however, and its
practical operation has displayed Ger
tain defects 1t was the part of a COM
petent and careful legislature to study
/ these, to thresh out differences and TO
pass such additional legislation as
would perfect the primary system in
the light of recent experience.
In particular, it was desirable that
the safeguards of the primary law
should be extended to the selection Of
delegates to state conventions. There
has been practically no difference Of
opinion on this point between parties
or among intelligent, conscientious men
in either of them. So, also, has it been
especially demonstrated that the judi
ciary should be taken out of politics
as far as changes in the law can do it,
and separate primaries and separate
elections for the choice of judges have
been suggested.
Not one of these matters received Sc
rious consideration. After having vari-
Gus changes in the primary law before
it for the greater part of the session,
the legislature INDUCED in a hunting
bee, killed them all off indiscriminately
10 save Itself further trouble ana re-
Election, and then engaged in delight
full exhibition of horseplay because it
had disposed, of this troublesome mat
ter.
This is fair gauge of the legislative
body that the Republican party has set
to rule over us. Its action on the code
was a startling and scandalous exhibi-
ton, which is not even yet completed.
1t has spent lots Of time on petty little
measures designed to harass and an
noy such holders of office as happen to
be Democrats, but it has displayed
neither breadth of mind nor intelligent
comprehension of public need in deal
ing with matters of real Importance
and of larger scope. If the tree is
known by its fruits. the voters of Min
nesota will chop down the Republican
legislative majority at the first oppor-
tunity.
