seventy-five thousand dollars year,
over government under which more
than eighty millions of people live.
The average income OF Mr.. Rogers
for more than fifty years has been
twenty times as great as the income
enjoyed by the president of the Uni
ted States Did he perform work
twenty times as important, or render
a service twenty times as valuable?
Opinions differ as TO Mr.. Rogers
tiles while his opponents call atten-
ton to his business methods. The
opinions expressed seemed to be
largely colored by the sympathies
of those who have spoken-those
who speak from the standpoint
of the monopolist see in him a great
representative OF industry; those
who regard a private monopoly as
indefensible and intolerable cite him
as an illustration of the manner in
which habitual wrong-doing will
scar the conscience and distort the
vision. Amid such variety of wit
nesses it is not strange that the
readers should be confused by the
conflicting testimony, but there is
one witness whose evidence ought
to no wit
that is H. H. Rogers himself. His
will doubtless revealed the inner
Rogers, and gives us the real meas
ure of his soul. He leaves practically
all of his immense wealth to 4, Ibis
family. He makes a gift to the town
of his birth, but beyond that there
dictate that he recognized the claims
of the public. His sympathies did not
go out to hospitals and institutions
of mercy; his spiritual life was not
such as to link him with the inter
ests of the church in the spread of
the gospel or in the extension of

his selfishness manifested itself in
the disposition of his goods If he
had been generous and large hearted
, in his requests, his will would have
been used to give halfway justifi-
cation to the methods which he EN-
ployed in the accumulation of his
money; but as ii is his will pre-
sents an Indictment not only against
him, but against that peculiar type
of business life which he represent
ed-a life in which the soul is
shriveled and the better impulses
stifled by business practices which
deadcn the conscience and rob life
of that which makes it worth living.

THE CHEAP HOME AT LAST.
Thomas Edison Announces That His
Plans Are Perfected.

Thomas A Edison sent word to
the newspapers today that he had
completed his cheme for building a
concrete house for $1,000, which, if
constructed of stone in the same de-
sign, would cost between $25, 1000
and $4,000.
The price he names could not pre-
vail if only a single house was to be
built That he wants to be under
stood clearly What he means is that
if the reinforced concrete houses
were built in blocks, by his design
and through the use of his molds,
the cost of each house in a block
would not be greater than about
$1,000.
The Edison house building plan
calls for a one family house, on a
lot 40x60 feet. The floor plan of the
house is 25x30 feet Each house will
contain six rooms and a bath, and
the cellar will extend beneath the
boiler, washtubs and coal bunker.
The decorations will be cast With
the house and therefore will come
from the molds as part of the struc-
ture and not merely be stuck on.
Cast iron molds will be used in
building the houses and they will
vary in design. After the concrete
foundation has been laid and has
hardened the molds will be set upon
it.
Edison says it will take four days
to set up the molds. The liquid
concrete can be poured into them in
six hours. The molds will be kept
in use for four days until the con-
crete hardens and then it will re-
quire four days to remove them.
That means the house will be finish
ed in ight.-kansa City Star.

In the political world says the
Waco Times Herald, there is con-
slant reversion to discarded systems
to theocracies and monarchies
and aristocracies, to the hurt of
pure and undefiIed democracy. We
make no argument for Bourbonism
We believe in progress-in the pro-
cess of elimination But certain
things are fundamental: They lie at
the base of ali that's worth while,
and to despise these is to get lost
in the wilderness. We are persuad-
ed that the time has come for lay
ing again the foundation, for revert
ing TO fundamental truth, religious
ly socially and politically. The love
of novelty; the play of passion
the lust of power; the greed of gain
these are corrupting influences in
American life, and they tell all too
plainly of departure from the ideals
of the fathers, who built in truth
and who established equity" And
as usual, our esteemed contempor-
AIRY is correct. Having strayed, re-
ligiously and politically, into for
hidden paths, it is now time for
getting back to fundamental prin-
ciples and cardinal truths.
