Does it pay to send out annually
some hundreds of young men and
young women to preach the doctrine
that Rockefeller can do no wrong?
Accustomed as the American people
are to thinking in millions, the sum
is almost inconceivably vast. Yet it
represents but a small part of the
Rockefeller fortune. And how many
independent oil men were ruined,
through secret rebates and other un-
fair methods, to get together those
millions for the University of Chi
cago? How much perjury was COM
mitted in the courts and in congress
sional and state investigations 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 euucationai institution, great in
the number of its students. great in
the learning of its faculty. But the
taint of the Rockefeller millions is a
shadow upon 1t, a shadow that can
never be removed. The fact that the
line, Founded by John d. Rookie
feller," appears on the stationery, re-
ports and official publications of the
University of Chicago is enough to
damn 1t in the opinions of many far
sighted, thoughtful men and women.

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
it to working for God. we are doing
a good work" That rule may apply
in small fields. Personally, We see
no objection to taking money from
a professional gambler and using it to
relieve 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
1t would be used for the purpose of
starting a school in which the science
of gambling should be taught. Nor
would he take 1t with the understand
ing 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 quesuon.-Salt Lake

EMPRESS DOWAGER
MAY RETIRE.

Pekin, Jan. 1.-THE leading
Chinese statesmen have presented a
joint memorial to the throne urging
the retirement of the empress dow
ager from the control of the admin
istration after the next Chinese New
Year. This is looked upon as a most
extraordinary event in China's his
tory. but it has wholly failed to carry
conviction among the Chinese popu-
lace and the foreign residents. The
empress dowager has certainly q
right to be weary of the cares of
state II ever a sovereign had, but there
have not yet been any indications of
such weariness.
The time when foreign residents
found difficulty in mentioning the
name of the empress dowager with
out vehement Jetraction has passed.
and it is now generally recognized
that few wiser heads have supported
crown. 1t is admitted that there
may be among the reforms recently
undertaken in China some features
which suggest the advisability of the
empress dowager's retirement, but
the fact that such reforms have been
inaugurated under her regime COM
pletely disposes of the charges that
used to be brought against her on
the ground of conservatism.

DOES IT PAY TO
SEND THEM HERE?
A Powerful Editorial Regarding the
Rockefeller Unievrsity-Is 1t
u Benefit to the Nation?

John d. Rockefeller's recent gift of
$2,191.0OO to the University of Chi
cago brings the total of his donations
to that institutions to more than
$4,000, 900. After conference
with the late William r. Harper,
twenty years ago, Mr.. Rockefeller is
said to have announced his willing
ness to back an educational institu-
tion to Chicago to the extent of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars" He
has done decidedly more. Today the
University of Chicago ranks as among
the most richly endowed-if 1t does
not actually head the list-universi-
ties in the United States.
And Standard Oil money mas prac-
tically done all of it. Other people
have given more money to the Uni
versity of Chicago, it is true. but
their gifts make paltry total when
compared with the bulk of Standard
Oil millions. Has the investment
paid Mr.. Rockefeller? More import
ant. has 1t paid the country? Is it
benefit to any nation to have n
great university that is built upon n
foundation of dollars filched from the
public by dishonest competition?

FIRST THE DAUGHTER
THEN THE FATHER
Joseph Sullivan Old Time Resident, Died Within few Hours
After His Young Daughter Had Passed Away
Undertaken Goes to Bury the Latter
Finds he Must Arrange

Joseph Sullivan, aged % years, one
of the best known citizens of the
county and for many years leading
ranchman of the Kannah Creek sec
tion, died last night at his home, af-
ter an illness of pneumonia.
Only few hours before he
breathed his last his daughter Ada,
the wife Of Robert ii. Bowen and
aged but 10 years, died at the Sulli-
van home after an illness from the
same malady, the two deaths forming
one of the saddest and most unusual
bereavements that ever befell u Kan-
nah creek home.
The young daughter of Joseph Sui
Ivan, who had been the bride of Rob-
ert Bowen but short time, was
stricken i'll about ten days ago and
her condition was grave from the
very start. About the same time her
father was stricken with pneumonia
and he, too, was in n dangerous con-
dition from the very start Of the i'll.

Undertaken Bannfster left this city
at an early hour this morning for
the Hannah Creek home, taking with
him IA casket to contain the remains
of Mrs. Bowen. He reached the home
about noon and found that the father,
Mr.. Sullivan, had passed away during
the night. 1t was then decided to
hold a double funeral on Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock from the Sui
Iivan home, the interment to take
place at the Whitewater cemetery.
A casket to contain the remains OF
the father wss sent to the home this
afternoon.
The family is one Of the most
prominent in the eastern section of
the county and the two deaths cause
widespread sorrow.
Joseph Sullivan was widely known

"Ehe attempt to drag t.,

into the tumult of a nationa

one. 1t is an invasion Of the
grief Of the noble lady whe

a blow at party concord; it is
the act Of a shameless hypo-

Denver, July 4.--(Special )-Bryan and Gray on the first ballot, with a platform closely following the lines of the Ne- braska platform written by Bryan him self
 This is the prevailing opinion among those on the ground here tonight after the result of the democratic national conven- ton which will convene here next Tues day.
 It means the complete triumph of w. J. Bryan, the rout of the Ryan Belmont wing of the party and the total eclipse of the New York representatives at Den yer.
 q am convinced that New York will be represented on the ticket" said Sen ator Grady tonight MT Bryan has more than the necessary two-thirds to nominate him. We have had scouts out all day Joking into the situation, and every one has brought in report to MT. Murphy which shows conclusRely that MT Bryan cannot be beaten. It is all over.
 New York accordingly will support Bryan, who will receive the entire vote of the Empire state in the convention. The name of Justice Gaynor will be pre- sented to the convention as the states choice for vice president but with little hope of landing the prize, for 1t is now generally understood that Judge Gray will accept.
 New York, that Is to say, the pluto cratic wing of the party, will get just this much: The. election of MT. Connors to succeed Norman D. Mack as national committeeman.
 This is the final slap of the anti Bryan wing, If there was any way for Bryan to prevent this it would be done for Mack has been consistent Bryan supporter for the past 12 years and it is hard for Bryan to have to sit idly by and see his friend sacrificed But the seec- ton of national committeeman lies entirely with the New York delegation and New York has been so completely fattened out that tllere is no other pun ishment that Murphy can be menaced

Observance In London.

London, July 4-The thousands of Americans who are visiting in London en- tered today upon an enthusiastic celebra- tion of Fourth of July. There were many private entertainments at the town res idences of Americans as well as at the hotels patronized by visitors from the other side. The Stars and Stripes were much in evidence The holiday was ob- served in even more elaborate fashion at various country houses, to which large parties were invited over the week end. Unfortunately a sudden change in the weather prevented the carrying out of any outdoor festivities.
 The American consulate and the em- bassy are closed today, but Dorchester House, the residence of Ambassador Red was thrown open for a couple of hours this afternoon and several thousand peo- pie were received by the ambassador and his wife Those present included dele gates to the Pan-American and Lambeth conferences, members of the American rifle and revolver teams and number of athletes who are over here for the Olym- pic games.
