HENEY's ANALYSIS OF GRAFT

Francis J. Heney. the graft prose-
cutor of San Francisco, is not one
to make a public statement without
authentic facts to back it. When He
ney charges that f. II. Hartman as
the head of the Southern Pacific
railway, was chiefly responsible for
the corruption of San Francisco, he
speaks as one having authority. In
deed, the corrupting influence of
this great corporation, before and
after Hartman gained control of it.,
has been notorious in California and
throughout the nation, says the Kan
sas City Star.
Heney did not mean that Harri-
man, or any other corporation head
who combined with him to control
state and municipal government,
were pals" with Ruef and Schmitz
and the boodlers under them. He
meant that the graft system of Ruef
and the "low brows' was the direct
offshoot of the larger graft system
by which public service corporations
control politics and exploit the peo-
pie of their own advancement.
The experience of San Francisco
is not unique. In Pittsburg, st.
Louis, Minneapolis and wherever
coarse hood!ing has assumed a yiru-
lent form, the foundation of it has
been the corrupting influence Of
bigger privilege grabbers. This is
logically and inevitably the case. The
people have no use for boodlers.
There never was a bride given On
behalf of the people. The boss is not
useful to the people. He is needed
TO do the work that the heads OF
corporations, the brewers, etc. can
not take the time to do directly.
And the same thing is true in
state and nation as well as in the
municipalities. When great interests
graft through a tariff or through
beating the public out of taxes, or
through gaining franchise privileges
for less than they are worth, or
through selling watered stock. then
the lesser order of CRATER will be
on hand TO sell out his city or state
or nation. He is part of the system
which is controlled from the top.

HOME INDUSTRY.

Home industry and the Texas
sample case are getting into the
spotlight of editorial discussion.
Keep EN- there. Speaking about the
scheduled gathering of Texas manu-
facturers in Fort Worth, for the for
nation of an organization intended
to further home consumption of
Texas products and promote the
good work of the sample case the
esteemed Brentwood Democrat
says:
Manufacturers from all over the
state will meet in Fort Worth early
in April to organize state league
and devise ways and means to ad-
vance the manufacturing interests
In Texas. This movement will doubt
less be felt throughout the south"
That's good. Meanwhile the Beau
mont Enterprise puts this one over

you of your birthright. Balaam is an
example of one who had good inten
tons, yet he did the very thing he
said he would not do. That Is the
way some of you are. You are the
kind of person Satan wants to
hold. Moses Is an example Of ano-
ther class. He left Egypt and gave
up all this glory that he might serve
God. Moses knew what was best. He
could have spent his time In world
Illness In Egypt but he chose rather
to suffer affliction with the people
Of God, than to enjoy the pleasures
of sin for season, esteeming the
reproach for Christ greater riches
than the treasures in Egypt. Agon-
ize to enter in at the strait gate. We
ought to obey God rather than man.

ufacturers of Texas are to meet in
Fort Worth in April to form an or
ganization for fostering manufactur-
ing in the state. One of the things
that should be taken in hand should
be a propaganda on lines of patron
age of home industries" Corpora
ton and organization create wider
markets and stimulate home patron

not an overly ambitious step from
home markets to export business.

not willing to make the sacrifice
Then besides the struggle with sell
tshness there must be also a strug-
gle with the world. The great sin of
today, the sin of young people, is
worldliness-bei Like the world.
A young man once said certain
young lady was a remarkable young
lady. He said he and another young
man called on her one evening-just
before O'Clock. She arose and said,
Young men, you will have to ex--
cuse me as we have our Endeavor
meeting at O'Clock. | must be
there. / would be glad for you to go
with me, If you can't must be there
anyway Christianity for this
young lady meant personal sacrifice
for Christ. She was not carried away
with the world. What a beautiful
characteristic it is to see people
faithful to their trust.
Suppose every christian in Waxa-
hachie had the same idea of fidelity
to their Lord and Master instead of
these goddess young men spending
their time on the streets, the young
women would bring them to the
churches, where they could hear the
gospel. This responsibility lies large
ly with the young women of this
town.
Worldliness is the crime that has
crept into the hearts of the young
people. All honor to the girl who is
faithful to her Lord Not only must
there be battle with selfishness and
with the world but there must also
be a battle fought with the devil 1
mean sinful influence-things sin
full in themselves. For example a
young man or woman may be here
with some besetting sin and long
ago you would have come to Christ
but you were unwilling to give this
thing up. You must be willing to
give ii up or you can never have
Christ as your savior or home in
heaven. When you get to that place
where you can say, 20, ! hate this
sin, | come to you, Lord, to help me
give this thing up" Then you are
agonizing.
Let us look for awhile at these
two roads. One, we are TOLD, is the
strait road-the word strait here
does not mean not crooked. II means
narrow. This road leads to Hfe-and
few will travel this road. The road
that leads TO death Is a broad road
and many travel this road. What
makes this broad road so attractive?
The devil has many things to attract
us. Satan has put many beautiful
dazzling lights there to lead US on.
Not only this but Satan has provid-
ed music, Then there is the wine
cup with its rudy glow, the mad
dapca thfo is all hqautiful at first
but what is the end Of this road?

As a result Of action taken by the
charter convention recently elected
for the purpose of revising its mu-
uiclpal government, it is probable
that Colorado Springs, Colo, will
shortly join the ranks Of American
cities employing the commission
form Of government. The convention
has declared in favor OF placing all
power and authority in the hands Of
a council composed Of mayor and
four other members and OF abolish
ing the ward system. 1t is proposed
TO place the mayor in charge OF the

MANUAL TRAINING
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
WIDELY DIVERGENT VIEWS HELD
BY LABOR LEADERS AND
EDUCATORS.
NEW YORK CENTRAL OFFICIAL
POINTS TO GROWING SCAR
CITY OF SKILL.

Washington, Oct 23-Widely di-
vergent views upon how the big prob
lem of industrial education can best
be worked out for the betterment of
boys and girls were vigorously voiced
yesterday by labor leaders and edu-
Gators attending the meeting of the
industrial education committee of the
American federation of labor.
Many labor leaders fear that if ''vo-
cationar' manual training is not intro
duced in the public schools, capital
will seek to set up a specialized or
contracted system of education. Some
educators are convinced that technic-
al training in the public schools would
be ill-advised. Others favored the APP
premiership system. John Mitchell,
vice president Of the federation, is
chairman of the committee.
Congressman Wilson of Pennsylva-
MIA, the minor statesman" declared
for technical training as a part of the
public school system, and declared
that instruction in the higher grades
should be in two divisions; one pro-
fessional, another mechanical.
Revelations of the divorce courts,
according to Ella Haas, Ohio factory
inspector indicate that the primary
cause of domestic infelicity is the
lack of the technical training of girls.
c. w. Cross, superintendent of ap-
prentices, of the New York Central
lines, declared that the growing scar
city of skilled workmen already was
a problem to railroad officials. Some
speakers had little faith in trades
schools, but strongly endorsed indus
trial training in the public schools.
Combating this theory were sew
eral industrial educators, who wanted
the committee to sound a warning
against such phase of education in
the common schools. Others who
spoke were John B. Lennon, fedora
ton treasurer, and Mrs. Raymond
Robins of Chicago. The session will
continue today.
