WILL CONSOLIDATE SCHOOLS
Des Moines Question Wins by Majority
Vote of Three to One.


Special to Times Repub lican.,
Des Moines. May 22.-No excitement
and not much interest marked the
election here yesterday, but the ques-
ton of school consolidation in Des
Moines carried by a majority vote of
over three to one. The ballot was one
Of the lightest in the history of the
city, being about a third of the aver
age. At no time during the day was
there any fear on the part of those
favoring consolidation that the propo-
sition would not carry by a heavy ma
jority.
The totals received in the rooms Of
the West Des Moines board Of educa-
ton last night substantiated the belief
that the residents of the west side of
the river felt only a passive interest
ins the outcome of the plan for CEN
tralized school government. The vote
in East Des Moines was much heavier,
.altho the lack of; interest is the sec
tons most affected by the change was
marked.
The chief opposition to the CONSOLE
dalton centered itself in the outlying
districts and in the heart of West Des
Moines.

is tactful, as wass demonstrated When
he brought harmony out of chaos two
years upon assuming charge of the Ida
Grove schools. He is an athlete and

it is due to his ability in this direction
that Ida Grove. can claim the cham

J. PIERPONTs PATRIOTISM.

Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan has been
bepraised from one end of the coun-
try 10 the other for throwing his In
fiuenoe and his millions into the
breach and staying the financial panic
In New York two weeks ago when
many Of the banks and trust COM
panies OF that city were tottering on
the brink of ruin. His action proba-
bly, prevented a terrible financial dis
aster to that city. and he deserves
much credit for what he accomplish
ed. but we seriously doubt that ne
was'infiuenced and animated by pure
patriotism and public spirit alone.
There are good grounds for belief
that he and Rockefeller and the 9TH
er great financiers who cooperated
with him in bolstering up the banks
and trust companies that had been
sapped OF their strength by other
great financiers In their stock jobbing
operations. were largely influenced by
purely selfish motives. Self-preserva-
tion was the first consideration. mas
much as a great panic would have
played havoc with their own for
tunes. and to save themselves they
had to save others. Besides saving
themselves II Is safe to conclude that
they forced those whom they saved to
n lxyae
efeller and all that ravening crew Of
highland pirates are not given to
working for nothing.
A collateral circumstance that tends
to substantiate this conclusion Is the
fact than on the heels of Morgan's
patriotic" and generous rescue Of
the Trus, Company Of America comes
the announcement that the controll-
ing interest in the Tennessee Coal &
Iron Company has been transferred
to Morgan and by him passed over to
the steel Trust. which has long look
ed with greedy eyes on that valuable
property.
No one outside the inner circle
will ever know how great was the
profit on this deal. but Morgan ct al
undoubtedly paid themselves hand
somely for their patriotic and heroic
| efforts out OF the rake off, and there
were probably many other deals that
afforded fat pickings. The Morgan.
Rockefeller brand Of financial "pa-
| trlotism" is exercised and exploited
for profit and To call IL patriotism is
/ to cheaper the word.
