In the senate Friday a bill providing county depository for Washington and Logan counties was read third time and passed. Sena- tor Wingo voted no.

ROCKEFELLER HUSH MONEY


 We are told not to look gift horse in the mouth, but every gift from Rockefeller, whence arises the smell of coal oil, at once suggests an inquiry into the motives of the g.ver and the source of his wealth.
 We are told in an official report by a committee from Congress, made to that body. that the Standard Oil Company operates the most con scienceless grinding monopoly in the world, that it's methods of doing business, both with competitors and consumers are utterly dispicable and unfair.
 is, presumably. from the enor- nous profits of this business that Rockefeller has given total of forty-three million dollars to the general education fund of an incor- porate body of philanthropists and educators.
 But the gift of this vast fortune is not without conditions and there in appears the ulterior motive of the plutocratic donor. The money is to be distributed to such institutions as he shall direct. He is thus enabled to exercise an influence over such institutions as receive, at his direc- tion, the benefit of his money and 1t has been shown that at the Chicago University and especially Syracuse tN. Y.) University, the heads and faculty of the recipient colleges are susceptible to the influence of Rocke- feller money, and not only do lec- turers refrain from attacks on cor porate greed, but. in the case of Syracuse University, it's head, Chancellor Day, is the most servile and fawning syncophant imaginable, always ready to laud Rockefeller and defend his methods of acquiring great wealth.
 It is from such considerations as these that the term hush money Y as applied to Rockefeller donations, is not inappropriate. If one is con vinced of the justice and reasonable ness of this view it is not hard to follow the gift and it's motives to it's conclusion.
 The recent exposures of Standard Oil graft and greed, in which other corporations have been involved, has shocked the country and stirred up deepseated distrust of and resent ment against great wealth.
 President Roosevelt, at a recent club dinner, at which sat represen- tatives of the Standard Oil. and of the great railroad monopohes, said in substance, and shaking his finger in their faces: Eff you do not sub nit to the curbing restraint of the conservatives you must eventually face the mob"
 Neither is agreeable to Rockefel Ter, so he proposes, one may infer to continue in his methods of amass ing the wealth of the country, but to avoid the mob by insiduousls instilling into the minds of the peo pie, through schools and college: whose influence they have bought false and servile notions of civic economy and manhood.
 About the only way Rockefeller could disposess himself of his ab normal fortune, in a way not tt offend the ethics of the situation would be for him to pay off tho national debt. Fort Smith Times.
