THE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY

John D. Rockefeller's recent gift of
! s.. 191 600 to the University of Chicago
brings the total of his donations to that
| institution TO more than 100000
After a conference with the late Will
liam R. Harper, twenty years ago, Mr..
| Rockefeller is said to have announced
| his willingness to back an educational
several hundred thousand dollars" He
has done decidedly more. Today the
| University of Chicago ranks as among
the most richly endowed-if it does not
actually head the list-universities in
the United States.
| And Standard Oil money has prac-
| tically done all of it. other people have
given money To the University of Chi
cago, it is true, but their gifts make
| paltry total when compared with the
! bulk of the Standard Oil millions. Has
the investment paid Mr.. Rockefeller?
More important. has it paid the coun-
try? Is il a benefit to any nation TO
have a great university that is built
upon d lOQllQdllOil VI uOlidIS UlCHeu
from the public by dishonest COMPETE
ton? Does it pay to send out annual
ly some hundreds of young men and
young women TO preach the doctrine
that Rockefeller can do no wrong?
Twenty-three millions of dollarsl Ac-
customed as the American people are
TO thinking in millions, the sum is al
most inconceivably vast. Yet it repre-
sents but a small part of the Rockefel-
Ter fortune. And how many indepen-
dent oil men were ruined. through Sc
cret rebates and other unfair methods,
to get together those millions for the
University of Chicago? How much
perjury was committed in the courts
and in congressional and state investi-
cations to hold the Rockefeller millions
together in order that now and then
he might give a small part of them to
his pet institution?
The University of Chicago is a great
educational institution, great in the
number of its students. great in the
learning of its faculty. But the faint
Of the Rockefeller millions is a shadow
upon it, a shadow that can never be
removed. The fact that the line,
Founded by John D. Rockefeller" ap-
pears on the stationery. reports and Of
fetal publications of the University of
Chicago. is enough to damn it In the
opinions of many farsighted, thought
full men and women.
A pastor who is justly held in high
esteem by the members of his flock
and by all who know him, said once:
There is no such thing as tainted
money. If we take money that has
been working for the devil and start it |
TO working for GOD, we are doing a |
good work" That rule may apply in |
small fields. Personally, we see no OBJ |
lection to taking money from profess |
sional gambler and using it to relieve |

remarked, among other things, that
and, as Horace has so truthfully ex-
pressed it, When a woman starts out
to perjure herself. all hell cannot keep
her recordr It's a good thing women
'cannot vote in Illinois, a good thing for
Jim Ham"
II they could, he would never, after a
speech like that. come close to being
elected to any Office. and Mr.. Lewis
certainly does like office, as his record
shows. But he went further. He de-
clared that a woman witness always
testifies for one of two reasons: Either
she takes the stand through a sense of
affection or duty, or she desires TO sat
isfy a craving for revenge. In either
case she will not, according to Mr.
Lewis, stick closely to the truth. On
the one hand she will see the matter
as her friend sees 1t; on the other, she
will stretch a point to make out a case
against her enemy.
"A woman" Mr.. Lewis continues,
has no idea of the sanctity of an oath,
and a woman will repeat when on oath
anything which she will say when not
OH oath" There is a remarkable as
sertion, perhaps the most remarkable
of all those contained in Mr.. Lewis
philippe. Is 1t so strange that a wo-
man should tell the same story when
on oath that she tells when she is not
on oath? Why shouldn't she? A wo-
man, or a man either, for that matter.
who will lie about an important matter
in ordinary conversation will also lie
when on the witness stand. 1t does not
seem to US that there can be any argu-
ment on this point
Also il is quite true that women are
no worse than men, certainly, and it is
to be doubted if they are as bad in the
matter of perjury. The man may be
little more skillful in his lying; he
about the only difference Every day
deliberate perjury is committed in the
courts of the country, in Utah as well
as in other states. And the women are
not the only people that commit it.
Men lie for the purpose of gaining
money, which is the most despicable
form of perjury; they lie to save their
necks or their liberty. and they lie to
help out their friends.
According to the best informed law
yers, perjury is as common crime in
the United States as can be mentioned.
And the people who are guilty of it are
very rarely punished. For, perjury is
a difficult crime to prove. One man
swears that a thing is thus and so. He
is positive, he cannot possibly be mis-
taken. Another man tells a story that
is Numerically opposite. The question
is purely one of fact. One of these
men commits perjury and the jury or
the judge that decides the case says
which. But no prosecution follows.
The woman witness needs no defense
from The Herald, but we'd like her to
know, God bless her, that in our judg-
ment 999 times out of each 1000 she
tries just as hard to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth,
as does the average male witness.

the distress of widows and orphans.
That is putting tainted money TO good
uses.
But the pastor we have quoted GER
tainly would not take money from a
gambler with the understanding that it
would be used for the purpose of start
ing a school in which the science of
gambling should be taught. Nor would
he take 1t with the understanding that
in the school to be built up with 1t
there should be nothing said or taught
about the evils of gambling.
That seems to us to be the answer to
the great question.

/ oCAL VITAL STATISTICS.

Time was when citizens of Salt Lake
City had pride in pointing to its vital
statistics We assured the stranger
within our gates that we had here one
of the healthiest cities in the United
States or in the world. And the sta
tistics abundantly supported the con-
tention. Comes now the report of the
board of health for December with a
total of IA deaths. more than were
ever recorded in the history of the city
in a single month, and a death rate of
20.34. That death rate is entirely too
high. Too high also is the total of in
fectious and contagious diseases, SIS in
all. of which 4S6 were cases of measles.
Due allowance must be made, of
course, for the fact that in most years
there are more deaths in December
than in other months. But every month
in 1907 showed a gain in the number of
deaths over the corresponding months
of 1906, with a single exception. 1t is
proper, in considering the increased
number of deaths, to consider also the
increase in population, which was I'M
dOubtedly considerable during 1907. In
fact. the city's population growth has
been very rapid during the last five
years.
Still, the death rate is too high. Ac-
oording to the census of 1900 the death
rate of Salt Lake City in that year was
100. Sc there has been a gain, if De-
of 4.34. The same census returns show
statistics fer SOS important cities in the
United States. Only ffty-three of
them have a death rate that is above
2O.S4. The natural inquiry is: Why is
Salt Lakes, death rate so high? What
is the reason for the increase? Is the
health department doing efficient work?
salt Lake should be the healthiest
city in the United States. No city has
more natural advantages conducive to
good public health. Few cities have
anything like as many. The water sup
ply of Salt Lake City is as pure as the
purest. 1t is purer than the supplies of
not less than ninety-nine cities out of
each 100. In most cities where the
death rate is high the trouble can be
traced almost directly to the water
supply. This is not the case in Salt
Lake City.
In addition 10 pure water we have
pure, bracing mountain air. We have
no malaria, no natural breeding places
for the diseases that afflict less favored
cities and communities. The only pos
sible conclusion is that disease is bred
here through the carelessness of some
body, through laXity in the enforce
ment of quarantine regulations, |
through inattention to the proper
cleaning and care of premises. and in
other ways that will suggest them |
selves 10 those who have studied the |
subject.
AT any rate, the situation is one that |
must be faced squarely and manfully |
II it is necessary for Mayor Bransford |
10 clean out the health department, he |
should by all means start upon the |
work at once. It is impossible not to |
believe the fault is there.
