DISTRIBUTION OF FORTUNES.

The Rockefeller gifts to education
now total $79,O0O,OOO Andrew Car
negie. who is not as wealthy. has given
to libraries and universities an aggre-
gate of $3.50, 100000. The Rockefeller
addition of $32, 100000 to his prior gift
of S11, 100000 for the assistance of ed
ucational institutions OF various sorts,
to be disbursed by the general educa-
ton board, is much the largest contri-
button for educational purposes ever
recorded. If the fund drew no more
than per cent, this would put the
board in possession of an annual reve-
nue. of more than a million and a
quarter.
There may be some question wheth-
er the greatest good is to be attained
by such sudden and liberal endowment
of libraries and Institutions of the
higher education. OF the benefit of a
wide diffusion of education in its COM
mon grades there is no question, and
its importance is such that it is pro-
vided at public expense with general
approval. How far it is wise to re-
lieve those who aspire to the higher
grade and those who provide the
means for it from the necessity Of SELF
support is a serious question.
This view of the matter leads the
New York Journal of Commerce to
suggest that:
There are many other ways in
which benevolence may be displayed in
relieving or improving the condition of
those who need aid and encouragement
and who will be stimulated rather than
enervated by it. The Peabody fund for
housing the poor has done vast
amount of good in London without
making the beneficiaries feel depen-
dent or weakening the incentive to ex-
ertion on their own behalf More
might be done in our large cities in a
businesslike way for improved dwell
ings without increased rents by we'll
directed endowments. There may be
ways of stimulating research of ex-
tending Industries and providing bet
ter means of training for them which
would result in Strengthening econo-
mic forces and increasing efficiency
for self help.
Fair and equitable distribution in
the processes of production and ex-
change under sound methods of deal
ing would prevent such abnormal ac-
cumulations and the benefit to the
community would be far greater than
any practicable method of subsequent
dispersion. But having the fortunes,
what to do with them to the best adj
vantage for the repute of those bur-
dened with them and for the welfare
of those upon whom they are bestowed
is a problem calling for economic wis
dom even more than philanthropic
sentiment Certainly one of the strong
est arguments for prevention of ex-
cessive fortunes is the difficulty of
their wise distribution

AS MIR. GRINIEs SEES TT.

The placing of honor and the esteem
of one fellows above money has be-
come so rare that the action of Frank
Grimes in declining reimbursement for
money returned to the state treas
ury is especially notable and re-
freshing- The Grimes story is familiar
to the readers of the State Journal.
After he had retired from the office
of state treasurer a shortage was found
in his accounts. Mr.. Grimes reimburs-
ed the state to an amount something
over $1,000.
During his absence from the city
Senator F. Dumont Smith introduced
bill in the legislature to pay back
this sum to Mr.. Grimes.
Mr.. Grimes letter asking the senator
to desist from further action along this
line and declining to accept such ap-
preparation if made, published in this
paper yesterday speaks for itself.

CoNsoLING THOUGHT.

I've known a lot of things that I
Have missed with very keen regret.
We often heaved a bitter sign
For something would soon forget.
I'd NOPE and mourn and stew and fret
And curse the luck for quite SPELL
1t seemed a tragedy, and yet
l fancy it was just as well.
The nomination that they gave
To one whose claims were less than mine
The girl of whom / used to rave
For whom do not now repine.
The stock in that Golconda mine
cts dropped frop ra today to nine)-
l fancy it was just as well.
Time very often in its flight
soothing consolation brings.
We see things in another light
And learn to harp on other strings.
Our sense of sorrow seldom clings,
Or we would have more griefs to tell.
We've got to think of other things,
And that, of course. is just as well.

STILL AT IT.

The fake story writers have not all
gone out of business yet. The call
down which Secretary Coburn gave
them was not wholly effective.
The Chicago Tribune, the other day,
published this dispatch from Wichita,
under a scarehead: Ten deaths were
reported today, nine of which were
caused by the grip. The number of
cases is over 100 with zero weather. A
gale is raging and snow drifting. The
suffering among the poor is great.
There is a scarcity of coal, two loaded
cars on the st. Louis & San Francisco
railway were almost completely un-
loaded before officers drove the con-
fiscators away"
In commenting on the story the
Wichita Eagle says:
with the exception that there were
not ten deaths from grip, there was no
gale and drifting snow, there was no
coal confiscated on the Frisco road
this story is correct. The correspond
ent who sent out this story wanted to
earn his fifty cents, and in order to do
1t he imposed on his paper"

RAILROAD TEMPERANCE.

Dispatches from Wilkesbarre report
that the Lehigh Valley railroad has is
sued, or soon will issue orders that ev-
cry employe in the operating depart
ment take the pledge of total abstin-
ence and keep it. The officers of this
and all other railroads are very anx-
ious that their employees in the oper-
ating and all other departments be
temperate. The great corporations
take more pains in this matter than
most people suppose. They have op-
portunities for finding out just what
are the habits of their men. If they
drink or gamble; that fact is reported
to headquarters and the man who Is
guilty is called into the office and CIV

go so far as to employ detectives for

Roosevelt: Tho worlds peacemaEer


And the same spirit of fairness
the leader of his own people in adjust
ing their economic differences, has
given him the confidence of the prin-
cipalities and powers. And even though
he had no record at home, he would
be renowned as the worlds peacemak-
er. 1t was he who saved The Hague
tribunal from failure, by referring to
it the Plus claims. 1t was he VINO sent
out the invitations to the second Hague
conference; it was he who brought
about the settlement of the Japanese
Russian war. The blockade of Vene-
zuela was stopped through President
Roosevelt's intervention, and the diff
ference between Venezuela and the
European nations was settled at The
Hague court. The Alaskan boundary
dispute, a contention of long standing
was settled during President Roose-
velts administration, and Turkey was
induced by a display of power to keep
her promise to this government The
SantO Dominican custom house was
administered by President Roosevelt's
order, and a revolution was prevented.
The observance of Chinese neutrality
in the japanese Russian war, was Sc
cured by a note to the powers, sent out
by President Roosevelt. Russia was
reminded of the wrongs done to the
Jews at Kishinef, and Rumania was
reminded of the oppression of the
Jews, by President Roosevelt. That
record of diplomatic endeavor, always
for peace. always for the weak who
were oppressed, and against the strong,
