PRAISES BIG PHILANTHROPY
President Schurman Of Cornell Thinks
Well Of Rockefeller Foun-
dation.

Ithaca.-John D. Rockefeller's phi
lanthropic scheme, which the Rookie.
Teller foundation bill, now pending in
congress, proposes to incorporate was
commended by President Jacob G.
Schurman In an address before the Cor.
nell congress Friday night. In sum-
ming up an exhaustive discussion of
the measure, President Schurman
said:
Il recognize that section No. 2 of the
bill. which, defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and
empowers thaa foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro.
mote and advance slman civilization.
that is to say; morals aEa religion, art
and science, manners and social inter-
course, and ill that concerns the po-
litical, economic, and material we'll

This is vast field for the exercise of
philanthropy.
But Mr.. Rockefeller has conceived

benefit of his fellow citizens and man.
kind. His character, ability and Or
ganizing skill are adequate guarantees
that he will carry out his scheme
wisely and successfully, with meal
culable benefit and blessing to man.
kind. It is in the interest of the ma
tion that he be given a free hand in
the exercise Of his colossal benefi-
cence. So long as he is active or his
influence remains it would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does it seem nee
essary to limit the scope of his benef1-
cence, which is coextensive with the
efforts of mankind to attain a higher
civilization.
"The only change would desire to
| see in the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination of the method of
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might well be left close
corporation, if Mr.. Rockefeller so de-
sires, for generation. But after that
time I am confident that it would inure
both to the efficiency Of the foundation
and to the public welfare--to say moth
ing of the satisfaction of the sentiment
of a democracy-if the majority of the
trustees were appointed by the presi-
dent Of the United States, with the
advice and consent of the senate, or
selected by some other high abiding,
governmental agencies that may fairly
be regarded as representing the peo-
pie of the United States, whose well
fare is the primary object of the i'm
mense and glorious benefaction."

LICENSE PART OF ASSETS.
Right to Sell Liquor Must Be Surren-
dered by Moorhead Woman.

Fergus Falls-An order was made
in the United States court here direct
ing Mrs. E. c. Magnuson to surren-
der liquor license which she holds
in Moorhead to the trustees in bank
ruptcy who have taken charge of the
other assets of her husbands saloon
The firm of Magnuson Brothers had
been conducting saloon in Moorhead
and went into bankruptcy. The IL
cense was issued in the name of Mrs.
E. c. Magnuson, and the contention
was made that she was not bankrupt
and did not have to give it up.
The court holds that the license is
in reality part of the assets of the
firm, regardless of the name in which
it is issued, and that the creditors are
entitled to benefit to the extent of the
amount for which it can be sold.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Ralph WheeIock Urges Claims Of the
Twin Cities.

Washington, D. c. - Minnesota's
invitation to the National Conserva-
tion league to hold the next conserva-
ton congress in the Twin Cities was
presented to Thomas R. Ship, secre-
tary of the National Conservation
league, by Ralph Wheelock, secretary
to Governor Eberhart
In his presentation to the league
Wheelock goes into details relative to
the interest in conservation in Mime
sofa as evidenced at the recent conser-
walton congress in March. He states
that local organizations of the Twin
Cities are already perfected, and that
in the important matter of publicity
the Twin Cities and the state as a
whole have already in perfect working
order exceptional facilities for cover
ing every detail of such work. In both
cities, the commercial clubs and other
business organizations, including the
Publicity Club OF Minneapolis, are
ready to push the congress in every
way possible.
Pledges Support Of Press.
Behind all this" says Wheelock,
newspapers of the Twin Cities are in
full accord with the conservation
movement in all it's bearings. It liz
safe to say that their efforts in behalf
OF the national gathering would be
measured only by the physical limita-
tons of their respective editorial STATS
and mechanical plants. What is true
of daily newspapers is equally appli-
cable to all other classes of publica-
tons in country"
Wheelock discusses climatic condi-
tons, hotel facilities, and calls particu-
lar attention to recent increase in
the latter in both cities and also to
nearby lake resorts, where such dele
gates as choose may secure quiet &C.
commOdation. He also calls attention
to railroad facilities, including twelve
of the leading railroads of the country
| which center at the Twin Cities
