ANOTHER OPINION ON ROCKEFELLER.
HIS MONEY and FARLtIAM COLLEGE

What. Not accept a donation to
Earlham from John D. Rockefeller!
There seems to be nothing more
conducive to activity of the con-
science of certain class of people
than stimulant administered in the
form of an offer of money to an cdu-
cational or religious institution by
John d. Rockefeller.
But, their conscience can sleep
peacefully while the saloon keeper
deposits his license fee in the city
treasury to help pay the expense of
teachers to instruct the children in
the public schools. Not whisper OF
tainted" disturbs the tranquility
Also, what man who passes the COL
lection basket in our churches, ever
withdraws it with dignity and looking
to the pastor and righteous people of
the church whispers, tainted! ard
passes on?
The worst that / have read of Mr.
Rockefeller in these few years of SEN
sational exposure of Successful" men,
has been successful over-reacaing in
business matters, not once of trying
to destroy the soul and body of our
young man.

AWAIT ENGLISH TEACHERS
NO WORD YET RECEIVED
Supt. Mott Hears Nothing Definite
Concerning the Visit of John Bulls
Pedagogues to the Schools of
Richmond.

AS yet Supt T. A. Mott, of the local
schools has heard nothing further in
regard to the plans of the English
school teachers who are to visit the
Richmond public schools along with
the schools of other Western cities.
The first corps OF teachers which ar
rived in this country, passed the Rich
mond schools over, with apparent dis
dain. but as Mr.. Mott has received as
surances that some of the parties
which will visit this country will come
to Richmond, he is inclined to think
that the visit will be made by party
which has as yet not left the British
Isles. The government is sending
the teachers to this country at its own
expense and parties are leaving every
few days in order to study the school
of this country. A large
party of John Bulls pedagogues arei
expected to arrive in New York next
month or some time in March and it
is probable that those coming to Rich
mond will be in this party, although
nothing certain is known.

must cease or my letter will reach
the waste paper basket, but l plead
for consistency
Mr.. Rockefellers money is 10 more
tainted, than the saloon keepers, or
many another's, who help 70 pay pas
tors and professors salaries and to
build institutions tending to uplifu hui
mainly.
Why not accept the money offered
toward the developing of our loved
young people with thankful hearts,
and let the giver answer to God and
his own conscience for the way he
obtained it?
II, as Rev. Case thinks, the gatherer
of these tainted millions IS still "a
good old man, how can the use OF
the money have deleterious effect
when expended by wise Christian
men?
If you commiserats the Giver's con-
dition, why not remember him in your

true way to make restriction for VI
gotten wealth.

MAKE FAVORABLE REPORT
ON BRANTLEY LIQUOR BILL
The House Judiciary Committee Rec
onmends Measure Making Intoxi-
eating Liquors Special Class in
Interstate Commerce.
lPublis hers Pre.s.1

Washin- The house
committee on judiciary decided to
make favorable report on the Brant-
ley Dill, making intoxicating liquors a
special class in interstate commerce
and forbidding the collection of money
on c. o. d. shipments of such liquors
In states where the sale of liquor is
forbidden by state laws. This bill is
not as broad as the Littlefield bill,
which the committee reported a few
days ago. and it is believed by Repre-
sentative Brantley to be a measure
which will not be found unconstitu-
tional. The measure does not attempt
to interfere in any way with the trans
portation OF liquors into prohibition
states, but deals only with the actual
collection of the purchase price of
liquors. Representatives LittlefleId.
Pierre and Terrell voted against the
bill in committee.

Belfast, ~ by the
overwhelming uly Of S35 900
votes against 30.o0J, as represented by
the delegates. the international labor
conference rejected a proposed amend
ment to the constitution, the effect Of
which would have been to transform
1t into an avowedly socialistic organi-
cation. The proposed amendment was
contained in a resolution suggesting
the insertion of the following new
object in the constitution:
This annual conference hereby de-
clares it's ultimate object shall be to
obtain for workers the full results of
their labors by the overthrow of the
present competitive system, or CAPT
talism, and the institution of public
ownership and control of all means of
life" Opponents of the proposed
amendment declared that it would
create irreparabie dissension in the
party, as trades unionists are opposed
to pledging themselves to socialism.

Former dead Head" no

men who Serve Him.
"OLD TIMERS" COMMENT
PANHANDLE CONDUCTOR SAYS
HE is GLAD THE PASSES ARE
GONE BUT MISSES THREATS"
OF THE TIMES NOW PAST.

A conductor on the Pennsylvania,
of the Oldest men on the system, grew
laxative yesterday, after his train
had stopped in Richmond for several
moments, and during the course of
his conversation touched upon the
discontinuance of issuing passes by
the company and the effect which it
had upon the travelling public who
were prone to ride on railroads here
tofore, only because they held a COW
eted little ticket which read Pass
one John Smith,
Yes it is strange, said the man
with the blue uniform as LIE slightly
shrugged his shoulders, when passes
were in the heighth of their glory,
nothing was too good for the conduc-
tors upon the trains. on which the
pass holder was riding. With a iol-
ly effervescent and hilarious manner,
these men would reach out grasp
your hand, or slap you on the back,
with cheerful words of greeting. The
conductors were the whole show with
them, to all appearances. Nothing
was too good for us. Why when we
would reach the end of our line they
would invariably ask us to drink with
them or in the meantime would hand
us cigars or other tokens of their
good will, but now it is different. l
don't want you to think that we solicit
such things. No not that. But when
a man presents us with such things
in friendly way and sociable mood.
we cannot help but accept or we
would insult them. 1t is all over
now" (here sigh of regret escaped
the old timer.) Yes it is all over"
he continued. Those very same men
who rode on passes and formerly
greeted us with OVERLOOKING spirits
and address now pass with a mere
nod of recognition, veritably stink
into the coaches and that is the last
we hear of them until their tickets, |
for which they have to pay actual iron |
are collected. They don't |
seem to recognize us any more. |
suppose it is all because the railroad /
took away their passes. |
Those passes however meant more /
work for us and we are glad that they |
are gone, although much of that effer-
vescent friendship formerly bestowed |
upon us, finds it's course in other
channels. and we are the losers so far
rs cigars and treats are concerned"
