On the social side Rogers was gen.
ial, winning moral, charitable and
the gentlest of men. Mark Twain
was his boon companion and he was
kind and considerate in domestic re-
lations. lie seems even to have
had a vein of sentiment running
through his granite nature and never

but spent many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars upon that town.
It must be said that Rogers gave
away enough money in charities. The
question comes back to us can a
man ride down his fellows with bat

tion of hospitals, or to the needs OF
the poor and the neglected, or to
the promotion Of art and science, or
to sanitation and health?

AMERICA
NOT SO BAD
Moral Conditions in This
Country no Worse than
in Europe.

Paris May 22--America is no more
corrupt than Europe, though the
wave of "muck-raking" which has
prevailed in America has led Europe
to think so. On the other hand.
America preserves the Puritanical at
tributes of its fathers which has em-
phasized the country's criticism OF
itself.
These two statmeents contain the
gist of Signor Gugnelmo Ferrero's
letters in the Figaro in explanation
of the moral upheaval of America.
He says that Europe to comprehend
America and its crises preparing
there should not confound the anti
plutocratic movement with European
socialism. The crusade of individual
writer's and official inquiries, he says,
have made Europe believe that Amer
lea was seething caldyon of moral
corruption. Signor Ferrero insists
that close examination compels Il
different conclusion.
Philosophers find" he continues,
that immortality and corruption in
modern society are forces which lead
to better things but the masses in
America are not imbued with such II
profound philosophy. There, remem-
bering the simple, austere days, the
reaction is instinctively against NOR
al disorder.
1T is the protest of elementary
morality" Signor Ferrero writes,
that is imbedded in every soul not
blinded by passion nor perverted by
vice against the artificial and sophis-
ticated methods of the higher civili-
cation. History affords nothing more
tragic than this battle between ele-
mentary and eternal morality and the
passions and interests of complex
civilization. Europe does not appre-
ciate the grandeur of this struggle
because its living is obtained by arti-
fcial compromises.

children of youth may have left the
parental nest, going out to solve life's
problems for themselves, while those
of later years still remain as objects
of loving solicitude to their parents.
Lies afternoon should bring some
what more of leisure than the earlier
part Of its day has brought. The
spiritual life has its demands and its
deep questionings will not cease till
the rending of the veil shall bring
experiences Of which now we dare
not guess. That event, 'the last OF
EARTH" may still be years away, but
the shadow will at times fall
athwart the pathway of liGe's after
noon.
There are those, indeed, to whom
grinding toll makes fifty years a
weary load, who must TON on with
failing strength and no relief i'm
sight. 1t need not be said of them
that life Is not good, nor its prolonga-
ton blessing. Some of them, not
always those least burdened, would
repudlate the thought, daily thank
ing their Heavenly Father for mercies
ever new and ever welcome.
Lifes afternoon may be to those
who attain it the best part of life. for
it may be the harvest time OF the
years gone by. A selfish life may
long ere that time be an intolerable
burden; but a life of kindly regard
for others and of loving trust in
heaven may not lack the bitterness OF
pain and sorrow, but will, in spite OF
all that, be fountain of perennial
Joy.

Press Opinions
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.


The following story, for which we
undertake to vouchs was related a
few days ago by a woman who has
spent her life teaching in South Car
DINA. We commend its pathetic
truth to the careful perusal of Sena-
tor Tillman and Others who profess
a dread that compulsory education
spells negro domination. Said the
the teacher:
ION my fathers plantation, were
two families, one white, the other
black, living as hired laborers. The
head of neither family could read nor
write. Naturally tried to get the
parents of the white family to send
their Children to school. They persis-
tently refused. The negro parents
sent their children to school volun-
tarily. When cotton picking time
came, the weighing and the recording
of weights, even for that white fam
lily, fell to one OF the negro boys
taught to read and write Today that
negro boy, now a man, owns land and
is taxpayer Every child of thai
white family is illiteate and owns no
land. have tried to get at least
one of these white children, now a
mother to send her children to
school. She, like her parents, re-
fuses to educate her children, saying
that if she sent her girls to school
the first fruit would be love letters to
some mani!
And shall we leave 1t to the votes
of those illiterate whites to deter
mine whether they shall be compelled
to send their children to school?-Co-
lumbia Is. c. State.

Said to Reach Into

Tokyo, May 22--Day by day the
scope of what IS now known as tho

arm of the law is being stretched in
to places high and low to arrest and
expose those responsible for the most
gigantic series of irregularities ever
brought to in light in Japan. One
member of Parliament after another
is placed under arrest. The consti-
tutional party has been the chief suf-
ferer and will find it extremely diff
cult to rally under the blow. SO far
twenty members of Parliament and
six directors OF the company have
been arrested.
A determined effort has been made
for the last two sessions OF the Diet
to get the government to take over
the sugar company from the stock.

alleged to have been made by arrest
ed directors that to bring thus about
a sum of 100000 was spent in bribery,
and the names of some fifty members

been mentioned in this connection.

Supreme Court of New York to speak.
With regard to his refusal to recog-

inclined to take friendly view OF
such men, says:
"All his business life he had swept

COURTS OF

May be Called Upon to Pass
on Mrs. Boyle's Guilt
or Innocense.

Cleveland, o., May 22.--Mrs.
Helen Boyle. serving a twenty-five
year sentence 1or kidnapping Willie
Whitla, of Sharon, Pa, may yet be
brought back to Cleveland for trial.
John Marion, Pittsburg GRIM
inal lawyer, has taken charge of her
case, and will appeal 1t to the super
ior court of Pennsylvania.
He believes that the evidence on
which Mrs. Boyle was convicted at
Mercer was insufficient and that the
court was without jurisdiction. II
Is also his opinion that a non-preju-
diced jury could be more easily OBJ
tanned here than in the county where
she was tried.
AIarron has visited the Boyles at
the Allegheny penitentiary, where
they are serving their sentences. In
the case of James Boyle an appeal
may also be made at the time that
the motion for his wife Is filed In
the higher court. The hope IN Jim

1t will be a year before the super
ior court of Pennsylvania will be
able to grant a hearing in the APP
peal of Mrs. Boyle, as the court does
not sit again until next May. Marion
has six months in which to fle in
his appeal During that time, Mrs.
Boyle expects that William MdDer-
mott, her brother, OF Chicago, will
prepare to provide the costs OF the
appeal.
Pending against Mrs. Boyle here
are two indictments. One charges
her with harboring a stolen child, and
the other with blaclnail,s On the
first of these counts. If she were con-
victed here, and we're given the max
imum penalty, she would receive
twenty years, and on the second five

twenty-five years can be reduced to
fifteen by good behavior.
