SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.
It is interesting to note the express
sions Of several Of the famous men Of
the earlier days Of the republic relative
to special privileges and to note that
Thomas Jefferson was not among
those who thus express themselves.
In the April number of Tom Wat
sons magazine Mr.. F. u. Adams has
compiled some quotations from the
speeches of several famous men Of
that time, which are given below.
Roger Sherman-"The people should
have as little to do as msy be about
the government"
Elbridge Gerry-"The evils we ex-
perience flow from an excess of
Democracy, the worst Of all possible
evils"
John Dickinson-"A limited mon
archy is one Of the best governments
in the world"
Rufus knight is immaterial to
the people by what government they
are possessed, provided they be well
employed"
Alexander Hamilton-"The British
monarchy is the best government in
the world" and he doubted if any
thing short Of it would do IN America.
Their house Of lords is a most noble
institution"
Alexander Hamilton-He aclnowl-
edged himself not to think favorably
of Republican government Inequali-
ty in property constitutes the great
and fundamental distinction in so
clety"
Cunning Bedford-"Are we to act
with greater purity than the rest Of
mankind? Our votes are actuated by
interest and ambition"

must have the aristocratic spirit; II

eRowTH OF STATE COLLEGES


The state institutions Of learning
seem to be gaining more rapidly both
In. numbers and educational worth
than any other class of colleges. Those
Of Oklahoma are madng especially
rapid strides.
The colleges founded by the million
aires. either from good motives or to
hide evil deeds. appear to carry with
them less Of the pure, free, healthful
atmosphere of American institutions.
Somehow they either taint with the
arstocratic air or get the fad idea
and put to sea with it.
There has perhaps been no institu-
tion either state or endowment that
has served as an incubator Of so many
fads as has Chicago university, father
ed by the Rockefeller millions. Scarce
~ a day goes by but that some one Of
Its sensational faculty breaks into print
with some hot spark from a diseased
or overheated imagination. They
seem TO think that a college must ad-
ve-tise even If It has to resort 20 the
humbug Of the circus.
The Chicago Record-H Herald takes a
jab at one of them like this:
Professor J. Paul Goode OF the Uni.
versity Of Chicago, thinks this country
would be three times as productive as
it is if the Rocky Mountains extended
east and west instead OF north and
south We hope, however, that Pro
fessor Goode will let the Rockies
stand until he rearranges the gull
stream so that it viii flow up through
Lake Michigan"
The institution seems to be attaint
ed by the kind Of money used in its
support
An Oklahoma professor. who per
sisted in working off fool notions like
those incnbated in Chicago, could only
hold his job until the next board
meeting. The state institutions gen
orally are quietly but surely taking
up the work Of making good, reliable
citizens OF ability, learning and moral
ity and letting the millionaire institu
tiosn handle the fossy fakes.
OF course no general statement will
justly apply to all the institutions Of
any class but a good, healthy growth
Of state colleges has been going on
and never 50 rapidly as in the last
twenty years. This is the result OF
the confidence Of the whole people in
their own schools and the best evi,
dence that that confidence Is deserved

Tse doctrine of Thomas Jefferson,
the founder u the Democratic party
was equal rights for en-. special privi-

when it was announced. it was
strange thought to the old Federaliet

Republican party To them the pro

Of the purposes Of government The
present Republican party has given up
some OF its old tenets and # is only
fair TO say that SC is drifting toward
the high Democratic standard, marked
out by jeners1n's axiom, but It stil1

The creation of an under class such

Philippine islands is quite within the

When one reviews the last eight
years of Republican rule and the
enormous extension of special priyi-
leges by trusts, tariff benehciaries and
specially privileged combines and
monopolles Of which the Standard Oil
and meat trust are only samples it
is not difficult to realize the tendency
and destiny Of those who stand in op-
position to the Democratic party and
the axiom of its founder
The whole thought of the centrai-

Where 1t Goes

We were amazed a few days ago
to read an account or summarization
of the investments of the funds of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society.
OF the great sum. running into the
hundreds of millions, only about four
million dollars were invested in gov
ernment securities. OF the many who
were users Of the funds of the Equit-
able, the name of E. H. Hartman
came first on the list. Mr.. Hartman
used the funds of the Equitable in
the securities of the railway proper
| ties he controlled to the amount Of
over fifty millions. George Gould
had many millions of the monies of
the Equitable. as did a long list OF
other great monied kings. 1t is no
wonder they represent so many mil
| lions. when they can borrow from
the funds of the great Equitable so
ciety to the extent of fabulous sums
of money This money came from
the pockets of policy holders in the
Equitable. and for security should
have been invested in the most con
servative securities. 1t is generally
conceded that government securities
are the safest of any, but only about
$4,OOO.000 of all the immense re-
serve of the Equitable found invest
ment in government bonds. The men
who were the users of the Equitable
reserve funds were men who were
Gould. Hartman, Rogers of the Stan
dard Oil Company, and many other
money barons had their names added
to the list of directors so that they
could thrust their hands into this
gigantic pile of money reserve of the
Equitable. 1t is no wonder that pol
icy holders hesitate now to place
their assessments in the hands of the
association. 1t is the way of the
world through, that men who are
supposed to be wealthy are simply
able to use other peoples money.
