Fordney of Michigan urged the Re.

AGaod Reason For Liking Mr.. Hearst.

Rich men often use their riches
in commendable manner; they do
good and give employment and
good positions to the deserving;
they derive great pleasure ard per
sonal satisfaction in being useful to
their fellowmen. But the curse of
riches usually falls upon their own
families. President Eliot of Har-
ward, after an experience OF fifty
years with rich mems sons, makes
the following statement:
"The most serious disadvantage
under which the very rich have Ia
bored is the bringing up Of children.
1t is well nigh impossible fora very
rich man to develop his children
from habits OF Indifference and lazi-
ness. These children are so situa-
ted that they have no opportunity of
doing productive labor, and do moth
ing for themselves, parents, broth.
era or sisters, no one acquiring the
habit of work"
What a striking contrast between
President Eliots description of rich
mems sons and the life of William
r. Hearst? He was the son Of a
very rich man when he graduated
from Harvard. His father wanted,
at that time, to invest several mil
lions for his benefit, giving him the
income only, upon which he desired
him to live a life of idleness and
supposed pleasure. The fathers
generous offer was refused. William
r. Hearst wanted no life.of leisure,
nor any relations with the leisure
class. All he asked or was willing
to accept from his father at that
time was money enough to purchase
a newspaper in San Francisco, and
all he asked Of society was the priv
ilege of loving a poor girl, a girl so
poor that he instead OF her parents
had to pay the expenses Of her edu-
cation. That newspaper has multi
piled until its publisher is now at
the head Of the greatest system Of
newspapers in America, and that
poor girl is now the honored wife Of
that rich mans son.
William R. Hearst is never happy
except when he is battling for hui
man rights, and at the salient point
where the blow Of the contestants
fall fierce and fast. He is so differ.
ent from the ordinary millionaire's
son that many admire him on that
account, and for good reason too
Mr.. Hearst is a young man who has
done more to awaken the conscience
OF the public, and voice the present
protest against the corrupting in
fluence Of predatory wealth, thar
any other man or half hozen men ii
the nation.

STATEMENT FROM GUTHRIE.
Says Wynnewood Democrats Have
Done the Proper Thing.


The Democrats of Wynncwood have

mont of the candidacy of the pree'.
dent of Indianola college for memna..

ing statement with refcr-nce T. thc
matter:
THE statement that the Bsmocrp, ;
Of Wynnewood have joined the Repub-
lican club and have eals,sed ltc
publican for dclegd,a tO the c1nstiiu.
tional convention IS without fuunda-
tion of fact. The gentleman who re-
ceived the Democratic endorsement
had been member of the Wynne-
wood Democratic club for six months
past and while / have NO authority
o speak for him / am free to state
that the 95th district will be repre-.
Scntel by as good Democrat as any
district in the territory.
The Wynnewood Democratic club
endorsed Rev. J. f. stowe, president
of the Presbyterian College at Wynne-
wood, by a majority of about 200 to
q, and his democracy Is of the Hon.
Lee Cruce variety. The latter gentle
man was listened TO by Republican
for thirty minutes last Saturday and
when he had finished this Republican
remarked that "he AL not know
whether he was a Democrat or Cruce
was a Republican, but added I'VE
think just alike and am going to vote
for him. and there will be 1900 or
900 of this kind of people in this
neck of the woods, who will vote for
Cruce and stowe because they are
Democrats and because they are lead
ers in the commercial and education
al circles of the new state.
