New York, May 19.-H. II. Rogers,
president of the Standard Oil com
pany. and one of the most noted cap
tains OF Wall street, died at his resi-
dence in this city at o'clock this

Mr.. Rogers arose as usual at 6
o'clock and in about thirty minutes
he mplained of numbness and nau-
sea, medical attention was at once
summoned, but before anything could
be done for him he expired.

surprise to his business associates,
and there was a sharp decline in all
stocks in which he was interested At
the opening of the exchange, but the
condition of the market in general
remained firm.
Mr.. Rogers was one of the most
active of the large group of million
aires and only recently he completed
a railroad from Deepwater, Va, 20

Fair Haven, Mass, May 19-Fair
Haven, the town in which Henry H.
Rogers was born 60 years ago, and
where the extensive Rogers summer
estate is located, everywhere bears the
marks of the generosity of the great
capitalist. His benefactions have ag-
gregated more than three million dol
lars. Rogers many years was super
intendent Of the streets and chiefly at
his own expense he macadamized
every street in the town and placed
walks at all crossings, curbed all side
walks and paved the cutters. He
built a magnificent church, parish
house and parsonage, costing in ex-
cess of two millions and decided it to
the Unitarian society, and later gave
q handsome building and lodge room
to the local Masonic lodge.
New York, May 19.-Johh d. Ryan,
one of the most intimate business as
sociates of Rogers, while expressing
profound regret at the death of his
friend, said 1t would not, in his opin-
ion have any influence on the invest
ment and business situation. William
Rockefeller expressed a similar opin-
ion.

CHOICE BETWEEN
GOD AND MAN

When 1t Is known the public, lat-
urally, will ask the question: why
has the First National Bank OF WEIGH
West Virginia changed presidents?"
The change was caused from the
fact, only Of its former president re-
fusilg to comply with the law of
man, which law Is that he should
make oath, or affirm, in order to
maintain the presidency. He at
once said he would neither make
bath nor affirm, and was consider
ed unqualified for the office. No 9th
er reason, thank God, only that he
would not dlsobey the command
ments OF the Savior. Weak-kneed
preachers and oyster mouthed
church members have been whip
ping the devil around the stump"
for 10 these many years by affirm
Ing. Adam whipped the devil
around the stump with Eve" but
this did not keep Adam from being
driven out OF the Garden of Eden
and from the presence OF the Lord.

yea and nay cometh OF evil" See

HIGH COMMENTATOR

The Following endorsement of
the Galveston form OF government
which, has been adopted IN slightly
mod fed form in the new Hunting
ton charter, Is from the C'ncinna att
Post:
When xerxes invaded Europe
and came within an acc OF annex
Ing II to Persia and making orien-
tails of all of vs--he brought alfalfa
along for fodder for his horses.
Xerxes was beaten back by tho
Greeks. His feet was sunk, the
bridge he threw across the Helles-
pont was disastrously wrecked, his
cohorts were turned back In slaugh-
ter by Spartans and Lacedemonians.
and Europe was saved. 1t was ew-
full war, and it left Greece plos-
trated.
But the alfalfa seed remained,
and did more good than all Xerxes'
armies did of harm. We of Ameri-
ca are now getting rich through
xerxes' horse feed. All the states
west Of the Mississippi. and much of
those east OF that river, are trust
Ing TO alfalfa to make them richer,
better land, happier homes than
could possibly be the case Il xer-
xes had not so many centuries ago
swept down on the west Ike cloud
OF evil.
A few years ago terrible tenn
pest overwhelmed Galveston Texas.
People who lived there at the time
and survived still shrink from the
awful memory of the WIND and cloud
and tidal wave that made a wreck
OF the city. Its b story has never
been adequately written. Perhaps
1t can never be.
But out or that dreadful calamity
came something new and good-the
Galveston plan OF city government.
The wrecked city had to have good
| government. There was nothing left
to steal and the grafters were
| quiescent--for once.
The plan has been developed since
but its main principle has been pre-
served. At Des Moines, Cedar Rap
Ids, Portland, HaverhIll and in a
half dozen Texas cities the good
thing left by the reced1ng waves OF
the Galveston cyclone Is growing
Ike Xerxes' alfalfa In our fields, TO
bless the world.
That principle IL the one OF elect
ing a very few men 10 govern a
city, giving them full power, and
holding them responsible.
The new plan bids tar TO redeem
America from 1.-The shame OF the
cities"
1t offers hope TO despairing c1ti-
zenship. II reviyos confidence IN
the ability OF the American city to
govern itself hone tly.
The Galveston hood was a horri-
bic thing, but Il 4 turns out to be
the mysterious agency for the re-
demptto1 OF our cities, what bless
Ing It will prove.
The wisest man that ever lived
Shakespears--told us long ago of
this: There IL a soul of goodness
In things evil"
