night when a street railway gang,
stealing a street against the opposition
of citizens. deposited several loads OF
rails amid terrific confusion, Harry
Hamlin turned over in his bed with the
remark, Heavens! Fingey Corners
must be moving In" The newspapers
got hold of it and all Buffalo laughed.
'Fingey's" fight has been hard an.
bitter one. To a friend who asked him
one day why he had bought a newspa-
per when he could hardly read or write
he replied:
Il began life a poor man, working on
the highway breaking stone and on the
docks as a laborer. I've got two dear
little boys, and I love 'em as love my
life, and Vim going to give them the
best education that money can buy.

when anything is asked about who
their father was and what he did for
living that they'll have to say that ne

only 'Fingy' Corners, a contractor, VINO
didn't know nothin but how to make
money. When they grow up want
them to be able to say with pride;
My father was William ]. Corners,
publisher of the Buffalo Courier-'
Here was the secret of "Fingey's
soul. The story is a pathetic one. A
coarse, brutal man, ignorant. but pow
erful, ambitious and ashamed of his
past. yet rich and conscious of the
n ! Il
contempt in which he was held, ne
fights for a place of responsibility
for the two dear little boys" whom |
he loves as he loves his life. Perhaps
"Fingey' could not have grown rlcf
had his methods been more respectable,
perhaps he never would have owned 1
the Buffalo Courier, but 'Fingey"
would have been far happier himself
and the two dear little boys" woulI
have had greater opportunities If Fin

school education and let them win
places and names for themselves IN
the world. 'tFingey's" ownership OF
the Buffalo Courier will not do as
much for them as an honest name ana
respectable past could have done. The
man who didn't know nothin' but
how to make money may we'll alarm
him. He may rejoice in the honor con
ferred upon him by his selection as
chairman of Hearst's democratic cam

THRIFT.
Huntington Hawk Eye1


Here is pertinent question that
will bear repetition many times and Is
worthy of continuous publication until
the young men of this country learn
the value of money and the wisdom of
saving it.
''Why is it, inquiries the MARSHALL
town Times Republican that the fore
man at 500 per month wears store
clothes and owns home, while the
STRIPPING at s35 per month must wear
tailor made suits and spend 80 cents
a day at the cigar store? III every

but he ought to be an economizer. III
other words, use good common sense
and have an ambition to acquire prop
erty. That will be one step toward
good citizenship.

call loudest for governmental control.
Rockefeller and Standard Oil, the
man and the corporation have done
more to advance socialism in this
country than any other factors. Ifey
are unfortunate In that they deal III
and control, necessity, MS much as
air or water. The private ownership
of material that supplies light, heat
and power, necessarily reminds every
consumer every day and hour, of q
monopoly. outrageous and Ubiquitous,
that seems to have only one cure, one
method of relief-that of governmental
ownership and control SO when John
ID. attempts to utter words of wisdom
on such a subject, the public Is dis
gusted.
Another man George F. Baer, he Of
"Divine rights" fame, or infamous, just
as you please, "has hide as thick as
bull" He, too, is unconscious of real
public opinion concerning himself and
his business transactions. Right in the
face of the newly enacted rate law,

Roosevelt has said it, others men

the majority dread such a. form of rev.
olution, such men as Rockefeller and
Baer fastened the day. There is one
more thought connected with this sub
ject. 1t is this. If the people of this
country continue to allow the success

opolies. they can only blame them
selves. Not so many years ago the
public would have cut off their heads
and confscated their properties Now
we proceed along the lines of law and
order But are we progressing? Or,
have we only a spasm?

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

None so blind as those that viii not
see, just fits the case of john D.
Rockefeller. This man, evidently I'M
conscious Of the real feeling the
community has for the man and his
methods, allows himself to be inter
viewed in a daily paper, on g subject
that of government control-which,
while every word that he utters may
be true, while majority of our best
thinkers must agree on the soundness
Of his logic. is an irritant to every
reader. this because of the source.

nous words the world over, represent

A FREE MAN

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 25.-With his
face wreathed in smiles Theodore
Wright, once prominent f1nancier and
railroad man, today stepped from Burn
Brae asylum, at Clifton. Pa, a free
man. He went Immediately to Atlantic
City, where he will pass the holidays,
and then go to California to join his
wife
Wright was regarded as one of the
keenest business men in Philadelphia
until his strange disappearance a, decade
ago. II was a long time before Mr..
Wright's friends learned what had be-
come of him. Gradually the story
leaked out that his son. Mention B.
Wright, had placed him in an asylum.
Since his confinement Wright has been
fighting for his release. A jury COM
posed of eminent physicians carefully
examined Wright last month and
agreed that he is now sane, whatever
may have been his condition in the
past An order for his release was
therefore issued.

shoulder. The wound is not severe,
but that of the bride is serious No

SARGENT NOW To
TAKE A HAND
Commissioner Will Make a
Report to the President
on the japanese Question
MESSAGE EXPECTED

WASHINGTON. Dec. 25.-There is TO
be a new and independent report on
the Japanese immigration question, and
when it is completed the President will
transmit it to Congress with another
message. making the third on this sub
5ect.
Frank Sargent, the Commissioner
General OF Immigration, is to give Pres
4oent Roosevelt a review Of what he
learned in his investigation of the Jap
anese tide Of immigration into Califor-
MA by way OF Hawaii. AS he has just
arrived here and has not even begun
preparation of his Official report, the
Commissioner General was unwilling to
give an outline OF his conclusions to-
day.
His report viii have great bearing
on the settlement Of the japanese diff
hculty on the Pacific Coast, however.
because al Of tfise Oriental immigra-
fion nov comes from the Hawaiian
Islands. and II the flow from Japan to
Honolulu can be stopped the fear of
Calfornians of an inundation of Japa-
nese viii disappear.
When the japanese Embassador
called at the White House while ex-
citement IN California over the Presi-
dents first japanese message was at its
height a statement was made on the
authority Of some japanese that
treaty was being negotiated between the
United States and Japan to -povide for
the exclusion Of the laboring class in
each country from the other. This
story was promptly denied at the State
Department.
Since then. however, certain people
from the Pacific Coast and some East
ern Senators have been let into the
secret OF negotiations which they be-
lieve win settle the japanese difficulty
without even the necessity OF making
e treaty or Of provoking further public
anfmosity toward Japanese on the Pa
ci1c Coast.
AS he left the White House Commis-
Eioner General Sargent said; There
are now probably $4,000 Japanese in
the islands. They are arriving there
at the rate OF from 500 TO 1000 a month.
The new arrivals do not remain long,
however, but soon go TO the Pacific
Coast. In the last twelve months II, 900
Japanese have come from Hawaii to
this country"
