In few weeks the bishop learned
that the old man was "shoutin' eld-

pal meeting house.
Several weeks later the bishop heard
that he had resigned that membership

professor of the Baptist persuasion.
When next the bishop met the old
negro he asked:

a SENSIBLE INNOVATION.

Chicago is to build Commercial
high school building and introduce an
innovation in city school work by Of
lering thorough commercial training
rs part Of the high school system. The
move Is the outcome of long discus
zion and the result of the demand that
children In school shall be given the
training to enable them to earn liv-
)ng and face the contingencies Of
business life with confidence after
graduation. The course will be at once
thorough and practical and the inno-
walton has the support of Chicago
merchants and manufacturers as we'll
az Of the great mass Of school patrons
whose children must look for remuner-
alive employment Immediately follow
ing their school days.
The practical value of this school is
illustrated in the growing number OF
business colleges and their increasing
patronage. Young men and women
lust out of the public school furnish
the greatest proportion of the students
OF these institutions. They find some
training in business forms and meth
DDS necessary to secure commercial
employment. What the Chicago COM
n1ercial high school is intended to do
10 to give this training and more to
the prospective employe and the future
employer.
The commercial high school seems
to fill q common need and its establish
ment wise addition to the school sys-
tenn of the larger cities. 1t is in the
same line as the teaching Of agricul-
ture in the country schools.

pay the city FOR seventy-five saloons
is receiving from 200 and at the same
time eliminate much of the open vice
and Indebtedness that under present
conditions groups itself about the low
err drinking resorts. The question for
Los Angeles to consider is whether 1t
is best to set greed against appetite
and reduce the number Of it's saloons
while raising their tone and getting
more into the treasury from the traffic
fashion. 1t may be urged that eXcu-
sive control would make the syndicate
a close corporation in city politics. no
this 1t may be returned that the sa-
looms are already a close corporation
in politics not only In Los Angeles but
everywhere else in the United States.
Reduction Of their numbers raises the
morale of the saloons-if the whisky
traffic may be admitted to have a
less public offense and modifies a
nuisance. The liquor trade in any city
would be infinitely cleaner with sew
enty-five saloons instead Of 200.
The profrer of this syndicate appears
to make very patent the fact that cities
may secure as much or more revenue
from few saloons as from many. 1t
is the evidence of hard headed money
breeding capitalists in confederation
of the assertion that a city with TWEEN.
ty-one saloons may derive more pub
lie Improvement and less crime from
less than half that number. The Los
Angeles syndicate Is ready to divide
the saloons by two and two thirds and
pay three times as much for the privi-
lege than the present holders of IL
censes are paying. Taking their fig
ures as a basis where twenty-one sa-
looms pay $4,000, ten could easily bear
a tax Of 100000 to the advantage of
their owners and of public decency. II
a Los Angeles syndicate sees money
in a heavy investment, In fewer saloons
and higher licenses as a private enter
prise, why wouldn't a few saloons
paying what the traffic will bear" be
an excellent present policy for Iowa

church members not only to refuse
this 100000 but TO say frankly why
they refuse it. the gain cannot be fig
ured in dollars and cents it will have
on the men of this country who work
for living.
The writer thinks it was the pres
ent president of Yale College that not
long ago publicly advocated social os
tracism for the owners OF the millions
gathered as are those of Rockefeller.
Wouldn't it be a curious thing If our
best society people should refuse to
associate with the families of the
Rockefeller's. To be sure there is now
in all of large cities. Boston in partic-
ular, "a set" in society that will have
nothing to do with the newly rich
crowd. This they do with the orig
ina "shoddy" manufacturer, but do
not refuse to have their children assoc
ciate and marry the next generation,
especially Of such newly rich sons and
daughters are graduates of Rockafel-
ler's University. And this reminds us
what if the millions of this
Rockefeller money, DR.. Harper
is using to build up the
the big Chicago University. To be
consistent all of this money should be
refused, for hundred thousand dol
lars given DIR. Harper is the means of
educating, i. e., saving many a heath
en- here at home. Has it come to this
that Rockefeller home missions are
all right and Rockefeller foreign mis-
sions all wrong?
But to return to the original state
ment. It's not because Rockefeller has
acquired millions that the wage earn
err prefers to keep away from church
that harbors and honors him. Carne-
gle has and is acquiring millions
Would the Congregational missionary
society refuse OF talk of refusing $780,
900 from Carnegie? If Carnegie saw
fit to devote part of his wealth to
building churches instead of giving it
away to public libraries and assisting
the smaller colleges, would we find the
press of the country devoting so much
space to a debate similar to the pres
ent one? Carnegie today, in Pennsyl-
vania and elsewhere, has thousands of
personal friends and admirers. The
writes believes Carnegie could actually
run Sunday school class and escape
criticism. But Rockefeller, self deceive
ed as he undoubtedly is, must know
something of the public estimate Of his
financial transactions. He probably
has read DR.. Gliddens remark on the
100000 offer to foreign missions.
Wouldn't it be interesting reading to
know what Rockefeller thinks of Glad
den and his printed words?
