RErRIBuTIoN roR GRAFTERs

The graft epidemic" seems to have spread to every
nook and corner OF the United States No word in the
English language is worked overtime In degree equal
to the demand upon graft" in its new sisnhcation.
IN locality and in every stratum Of American life
it appears to be common shells on the seashore
In all American newspapers the word stands out in
relief like minarets on a mosque.
From high places in the national government down
along the political line to the village level the graft
bacillus shows It's In the countys greatest indus
trial institutions It is in evidence seen in the revela
tons of railway rebates and disclosures concerning
such great corporations the beef trust 1t appears
in such prominent duciary lines the life insurapce
business Witnessed in the startling revelations at
New York And in its most disgusting form it shows In
the highest level of socetygraft and bac1ma operat
ing twin leeches in the service of yellow Journalism
What will be the outcome Of this alarming condition
in the whole fabric of American life? Will the down
ward be stopped in time VIII the end be like
that expected of uncontrolled automobile plungng
down hill?
The answer is seen in the setting of brakes at the
front. The government by special direction of the
president is pushing grafters to the wall wherever they
be found National land sharks, scoundres In the
agricultural department and thieves in the postoice
are pursued reentessly In New York the law is get
ting It's grip the hitherto respectable millionares
who have been fleeing widows and orphans by whole
sale life insurance grating. In other parts Of the
United States the people and the honest element among
their officials awakening as If from nightmare to
the enormity of the graft inquty.
Unless the present signs Of the times are greatly at
fault the graft upas will be closely trimmed in the near
future although there is hope that it will be entirely
uprooted. But the epidemic" that manifests itself
SO widely in the United States will be subdued by the
force of the popular outburst of Indignation and the
energy of honest official action.
No. the graft bacillus will not prove to be as de-
structive to the nation the phyoxera has at times
been to vineyards The American people will stand
a great deal of imposition at times but when the pres
reaches such stage the present graft epidemic
something is likely to drop with distinct thud.

TAINTED MONEY
IS NOT EARNED
so SAYS MILLIONAIRE PROFIT
SHARER
PRACTICES HIS PREACHING
N. o. Nelson Of st. Louis Addresses
Venice Assembly on Popular
Theme and Gives Three
Remedies

Tainted money Is money not earned.
1t is what / term getting something
for nothing. There is an honesty test.
A real estate man who buys land to
make q quick turn by discounting the
future makes tainted money 1t is
Just as much tainted as Is the money
Of Wall street"
This explanation of the term was
given by N. o. Nelson, the millionaire
profit sharing manufacturer of St.
Louis in an address upon Tainted
Money, It's Making and Spending" at
the Venice assembly yesterday morn
ing.
He owns three large industrial plants,
located at'St Louis, 1eclaire, ILL.,, and
Bessemer, Ala, in all of which he puts
to practical operation his doctrine of
profit sharing with his employees.
He has radical ideas regarding So
ciety and politics and expresses his
sentiments on the lecture platform oc-
casionally and through the press, as
we'll as by practicing what he breaches.
He said in part:
Rockefeller In Limelight
THE only difference between you
and me and Rockefeller is that he is in
the limelight and we are not. We are
just as evil in drawing interest upon
the unearned increment of our invest
ments as were the Barbary pirates or
the robber barons of the Rhine.
"The invention of the cotton gin, an
invention which has been counted a
blessing to humanity, makes tainted
money every day, for it has brought
about child labor in factories and has
been at the base of the race war in
the south.
THE greatest evil, however, in con-
nection with this tainted money is the
use to which it is put.
Tainted money leads to our personal
indulgence and that in turn leads to
desire to get instead of do. 1t is
what man puts into a thing that is
worth while, not what he makes out
of it. 1t leads to Indulgence in the
home, injuring the children.
Big Endowments Harmful
"Great educational endowments are
harmful rather than helpful, for they
tend to make men who would other
wise be hard workers into a lot of
overpaid. easy going, leisurely pro-
fessors. Among the students it fos-
ters a spirit of class, instead of mass.
Tainted money creeps into politics.
university has an endowment of
vested properties. Immediately from
the faculty and the alumni goes up
cry for exemption from taxation and
the people foot the bills.
Tainted money is not such great
goal after all Consider a moment the
difference between the happiness en-
joyed by John D. Rockefeller, potter
ing around his flower beds, knowing
himself an outcast, and the gardener
working out somewhere under the Cal
ifornia sun.
There are only three remedies pos
sible for this evil of tainted money.
First, the fostering of an individual
spirit of doing instead of getting; sec
ond, the public ownership propo-
sition, and finally, cooperation such as
we are experimenting with in Lee

Russians Reach Kirin.

Toxic, April 14.-It is reported that
the main force Of the Russians which
retired in the direction of Hsyingking,
has reached Kirin. The rear guard,
which is estimated at II. 900 men, con
tinues in the vicinity of Harlung
Cheng, closely in touch with the Jap
anese vanguard. The main force
which retired from Kaiyuan over the
Kirin road, is reported at Kirin with
a rear guard of 5000 men at Itschuow
Lakluzu and at Salipao, keeping in
touch with Japanese forces. CancheHl

though a force, estimated at 10000
men, has been detailed to occupy
FenchUa, and 5000 to hold Pamien-
cheng, the latter force seems assigned
to check and retard the Japanese ad-
vance.

SOLDIER WOULD sECEDE.
Movement Started to Cut the Town
ship in Two.

There is an agitation among the resi-
dents of Soldier township for a division OF
the township into two townships.
Soldier township, north of the Kansas
river, has the largest population of any
township excepting Topeka township. The
population of Soldier is 2769 and of Tope-
ka township 5.697. The township witt the
smallest population is Williamsport, with
a census enumeration of SCI.
Those who are agitating the division
would have a division line running east
and west and divide the township into
North Soldier and South Soldier.
The agitation comes from the fact that
the people in the north part of the town
ship think that the south end of the town
ship has been the most favored by the
rnad overseers.
