SOCIOLOGICAL
Ostentatious Wealth Scored.

In a recent address at the New York
state Chautauqua assembly Bishop
Henry c. Potter, speaking on the rela-
ton Of the church to Social unrest, stat
ed as his belief that among the greatest
causes of this unrest were the lavish
and extravagant expenditure by the
rich and the presence Of luxury in the
midst Of the slualor and pfivati0n of
tenement life. He also arraigned the
church for it's indifferences, inaction
and lack of personal sympathy for the
physical and mental ills of the people.
The same note was struck by another
speaker at Chautaugua, Mrs. J. G.
Phelps Stokes, wife Of the millionaire
Socialist, who denounced the methods
by which many Of the rich secure their
wealth as we'll as their ostentation in
using it. She said, ''That men and
women who crush the life out Of the
people that they may faunt the power
to luxuriate and idle and still further
Cypress should dare to give big dona
tons to charities is almost unendura
BILE"
Restricted Birth Rate Desirable.
Professor Edward A. Ross, head of
the sociology department Of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, in lecture to the
students said that restriction in the
birth rate is a movement which at the
bottom is salutary and that the evils
in it's train appear to be minor or tran
sient or self limiting or cura ble," thus
taking direct issue with President
Roosevelt's well known idea as to race
suicide. Professor Ross says he Is
with those who hate famine, war,
saber toothed competition, class antag-
onism, degradation Of the masses, vast
ing Of children, dwarfng Of women
and cheapening of men," and asks if
the time will come when the mother Of
more than three is regarded as pub
lie benefactor and placed on the pay
roll of the state" Professor Ross him
self is the father of three children.
Causes of Social Unrest.
Among the addresses recently made
before the Chautauqua IN. " assem-
bly, was one by Erman J. Ridgway,
publisher Of Everybody's Magazine, on
Journalism and the Social Unrest"
He contended that the press, instead
Of arousing class war, performed a
great work in checking it, even the
much criticised yellow journalism. He
said, 'The yellow journalist, when he
literally yells the 100000 poor fami-
lies Of this country out Of their mental
apathy and compels them to take an
interest in life and affairs, Is a public
benefactor." He said that John D.
Rockefeller knew the real secret of the
newspaper and "when he wishes to i'm

thus deliberately violate this law
wound society more deeply than does
he who counterfeits the coin or steals
letters from the mail" He held that
the railroads had no more right to
make secret rate for a shipper than
board Of assessors would have to
make a secret assessment of any par
ttcular piece Of property. At the con-
ciilsion of his opinion, and after an

III an extended interview at his
c. Gland home Mr.. Rockefeller said
TT he was "harnessed to the cart in

fcr all and that all this 'persecution"
OF industry must injure not only the
capitalists, but all investors and labor
ers as well.

Arkansas Custer Forbidden.
Judge Van Devanter, in the federal
circuit court at st. Paul, issued tenn
porary order restraining the secretary
of state Of Arkansas from FORGETTING

DECIDED
FARM, DRIVEN OUT

GEORGETOWN, DEL, Dec r.
(SpeciaD upon the world in
his old age, with all his property
gone, and no one to care for him, is
the strange fate of Joseph Ward, Sr,
a former prosperous farmer near
here, according to his own story.
Mr.. Ward testifies to one of the stran-
gest stories of filial ingratitude. He
stated that some time ago he made
his house and farm over to his only
son on condition that the latter keep
him the rest of his life.
The son did all right until he mar
ried and brought a wife to the home
stead, who objected to the old mans
smoking and to the way be handled
his knife and fork at the table until
finally the day came when he was
told to pack up his personal effects
and leave.
The old man objected on the
grounds that the place belonged to
him, but the deeds of the farm, made
over to the son, were showed in his
face and he was told to go. Ward
threatens to begin suit for the recov-
cry of the farm for noncompliance
with the conditions of the deed

An interesting interview was re-
Gently obtained with l.. 7. Cooper the
young man whose theory and medi-
cines have created such sensation
during the past year.
Mr.. Cooper in speaking of the re-
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: My medi-
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why it is successful. The human stom-
ach today has become degenerate and
is the cause for most i'll health. In
the horse, the dog, and the wild ami
mails generally, you see no nerve eX-
haustion, no chronic debility They
are not shut up day after day with
practically no exercise, and they are
not able to stuff themselves with food
when their bodies have not had
enough work to justify it. The hui
man race has been doing this for
years, and look at the result-half
the people are complaining of poor
health, not real illness-just half
sick, tired, droopy feeling. They don't
really know what is the matter with
them.
Il know that all the trouble is
caused by weak, overworked stom-
achs. / have proved this with my
medicine to many thousands of peo-
pie in most of the leading cities Of
this country / expect to do the same
thing in Europe next year. This is
the real reason for the demand for
my preparation"

been converted to Cooper's theory is

DOUBLE EAGLE DESIGN
WILL BE MODIFIED
Handsome, But Not Ser
viCeabIe Coin.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec. ~
(SpeciaD Coinage of the new $40
gold pieces designed by Augustus St.
Gaudens, which met such severe crit
icism from business men, has been
stopped at the United States Mint,
pending a decision of the Washington
authorities as to a modification of the
design.
Only 5000 of the coins were made,
and a large number of these were inn
perfect, so that the number placed in
circulation is very limited The
Philadelphia Subtreasury got 500 of
them, and the demand was so great
that the supply was speedily exhaust
ed, When a requisition was made
for $50 more notice was given that
no more could be had.
1t was said at the Mint that rec
concentrations had been forwarded
to Washington that new dies be
made, with modification of the pres
ent design which will do away with
its defects and make it a practical
piece of money, instead Of hand
some medal.
When st. Gaudens sought to inn
prove the coinage of the United
States he little thought of what a
furore of criticism would be caused
by his entire breaking away from
old and established designs. When
he died last August the designs over
which he had labored for months We're
still unfinished, but they were COM
pleted in his studio They bear the
unmistakable mark of an artists
hand No one denies that they are
of the most beautiful and artistic
United States coin that has come
from the Mint But their service
ability is almost as universally dem
led. Between the demands of art
on the one hand, and of utilitarianism
on the other there is not much doubt
which Uncle Sam will choose. 1t
is hoped, however, that it will be
possible in this case to serve the one
without altogether violating the pur-
pose of the other.

think of sacks of diamonds by the ton staggers the
imagination; indeed, the average annual output
of the famous Kimberley mines is not more than half

Statistics have been published recently at Cape
Town. giving the output for several years of the
Kimberley mines and the river diggings. These
yielded in the last three years nearly million
two hundred and fifty thousand carats-equal to
about and half tons Their monetary value
sxty-two million two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. Since the first diamond was discovered
by the banks of the Vaal in 1867, down to the end
of the present fiscal year, it is estimated that the
total weight of diamonds extracted from the Griqua
land mines has been thirteen and half tons,
of market value of fully four hundred and seventy
five million dollars.
If statistics of this sort can be trusted-a in

proximate to the facts,-only seventeen tons of
diamonds had been mined all over the world to the

that time from Brazil and India, the worlds output
of diamonds is more than twenty tons These
figures small considering the ages diamonds
have been worked in India and elsewhere in the
