accept them. So far as a direct min istration to the suffering and the destitute is concerned, this money is misapplied MT. Rockefeller has built up colossal educational in- stitution at Chicago. The University of Chicago is noted chiefly through the bizarre utterances of some of it's freak professors. How much bet ter would it have been if the oil king had endowed free hospitals for the poor or turned his money into homes for the aged. MT. Carnegie has devoted many millions Of dol lars to the foundation of libraries in smaller cities, but so far as the poor and the sick are concerned, these libraries are of no value. Had this immense fortune amassed by the steel magnate been used to es- tablish free milk dispensaries in our congested cities and to provide for the sick and helpless, much suf- fering and many lives would nave been saved annually. The libraries are of little benefit to the poor, who have no time and little inclination for reading when the demands of their bodies cry for reliet. Mrs. Russell Sage in an honest and sin cere effort to do good with the inn mense fortune left her, has estab- lished a foundation" which will allow a lot vf long-haired theorists to live upon her bounty while they study" the conditions of the poor. Had Mrs. Sage built number of hospitals, provided for freee wis iting nurs's assocition or fitted up country homes for poor children, there would have been no problems involved and she would have lived to witness the beautiful fruits of her philanthropy.
 Unquestionably Bishop Lillis is right in his declaration against the mania for endowment" What the poor need is quick attention, and it were better in the sight of man and God that dollar be spent prompt ly for pure milk or other food Tor sick mother or infant than that numberless dollars be poured into libraries or freak institutions oi learning. The way to help the poor is to go and help them. They will profit not at all from knowing that great mass of granite is belne piled up in the neighborhood large ly to preserve the donors name.

the success of the experiments, be- cause if the corporal existence of the soul is proven it will put an end to infdelity.
 Mr. Price may be correct in his ideas about the soul And he may be wrong. To the great majority of men, most of them busk with mater ial things and some of them engaged in efforts to live upright, God-servine lives, it makes little difference. With the average man the main point is that it may be said of him, in tho language of Virginia poet, that after he shuffiled off the mortal coil
 He Tapped his wings,
 And away he went
 To that Celestial shore"
 Boston scientists may think they have weighed the soul, and MT Price may think he can photograph it, but in the matter of weighing or phot. graphing so impalpable thing most people will continue to be doubter: until they are given an ocular dem. onstration.

CHARITY AND CHARITY

According to the Kansas City Journal, in an address dedicating St Anthony's Home for infants in that city recently, the Rt. Rev.
 Bishop Thomas F. Lillis took oc- casion to criticise what he termed
 the mania for endowing" which
 possesses many of our American
 people of wealth. And in this regard
 the distinguished churchman has
 touched upon one of the real prob lens of modern philanthrophy. He
 was impressed by the beauty and the usefulness of such an institution as that designed to care for waifs left alone in the world to fight the battle of existence unaided except for such helo as that which comes through the sweet charity of those unselfIsh souls who devote their time and energies to the cause, and this is the kind of charity that he
 believes in and recommends.
 There is no doubt that American
 are hysterical money-spenders. In
 their enjoyments, as we'll as in their
 philanthropies they go to extremes.
 Bishop Lillis hinted at some of
 these misguided philanthropica1 eff forts when he cited the millionaires who endow great institutions of learning and others who build splen- |, did libraries for the towns that will

A MATTER OF JUSTICE

A recent convention of the Daugh- ters of the Confederacy in Rich mond, adopting resolution asking for the restoration of the name of Jefferson Davis to the tablet which marks Cabin John bridge in the vicinity of Washington. The brdge which spans Cabin ohn Creek was constructed when Jefferson Davis was Secretary of War and his name with others, connected withe build- ing of the bridge was placed on commemorative tablet and subse- quently erased by order of Secre- tary of War Caleb Smith during MT. Lincoln's first administration.
 Congressman Adolph Meyer has taken up the petition of the Daugh- ters of the Confederacy, in this be- half and will ask congress, at it's next session to restore the inscript- ion.
 The contemptible spirit that or dered the erasure ought not to be sanctioned by a great and generous people and when the matter is pre- sented to Congress The Graphic does not doubt that MT. Davis name will be restored. MT. Davis public ser vices were very great before he be- came president of the Confederacy, and the effort to erase them from his country's annals is unworthy of so great a country as these United States.
