Possibly the Sun may be right

can hardly be possible that q

brought to do 80 wicked and fool

son for such action would be for
the purpose of perpet',ating the
Republican party in power and the
breaking of oil precedents by the

pie are not yet daft, we will

WHAT IS OWNERSHIP?

Stewardship is not ownership,
was the burden of the talk OF
Bishop Ingram in Trinity Church,
New York. That Church is at the
head Of Wall Street, and most of
the Bishops auditors were from
Wall Street. I'm law, the Bishop
was q little mixed. There is in law
a vast difference between steward
ship and ownership; but in morals
he was right. Private property is
the result cd the social compact.
1t is artificial. IL is not mat
Ter of religion or morality, but of
compact. Yet all solemn and
general compacts must be respect
cd. Good faith requires this. But
bad faith en- the part of the
holder, or owner, of private prop
erty is and always has been,
ground of forfeiture. Bath faith
is treason to the public. What the
good Bishop meant was that owner

In endeavoring to attract atten-
