GIVE THE PEOPLE
OPPORTUNITIES.

John d. Rockefeller IS planning &c
give away his fortune. His idea is
to give four-ffths OF it to education
and the rest to charity. Professional
educators will no doubt acclaim this
purpose. and professional charity
workers viii also give it their approx
AL We already have learned articles
from both sources telling about how
much good can be worked in those iii.
reotions by the proposed benefaetioa.
and we will doubtless hear much more
along the same lines.
Bnt the millions who are not wrap
ped up in educational and charitable
work will hardly agree that the propcs-
ed disposition Of about half a billion
dollars IS the best that could be con
ceived for the benefit Of humanity In
general We have plenty Of educa.
ton in this country. outside of the
public school system, which. Of course
Rockefeller will not help or be per.
mitted to hep. If there is any fault
TO find with the quantity of education
in general 1t is because so much OF
it is misdirected Our colleges are
turning out thousands Of young men
every year who are not as fit to take
hold Of the practical affairs Of life as
the average high school graduate
They have to learn it all over again
begin at the foot of the ladder. SO %
speak. The same amount Of money
now spent could bring about better
results and vastly increase the scope
of education. without calling upon
the Rockefeller fortune for help.
If the Rockefeller fortune could be
used to give the people greater op-
portunities to make living, to become
self respecting and self supporting
and at the same time add to the wealth
and prosperity of the country, the
proposition would receive instant rec
ognition and Endorsement, something
the educauon-charity idea has failed
to command. For illustration. there
are vast arid regions of the west and
southwest which could support pop
uIation of 5O.Oo0.eOO if properly re
claimed. That vast population would
not have to be given anything but the
opportunity to work on the land thus
made fertile, and the addition of ma
terra, wealth would not only be Of
the best character. but would make
Rockefeller the greatest benefactor
the world has ever known. Every
dollar would count. and nobody would
lose his self respect Wealth can
perform no better charity than TO give
the people opportunity 10 work and
earn a comfortable living. Rookie
Teller could confer this boon on many

scheme would benefit thousands oniy

A dispatch from Washington con
corning the statehood bill ordered
reported favorably from the senate
committee on territories last Friday
says that not only the Arizona edu-
cational qualification law was an
nulled but also that the direct pri-
mary law in this territory was an
auIled as well. We are inclined to
doubt the accuracy OF this story.
The direct primary law has been
growing in popularity throughout
the entire country and we cannot
imagine why anyone in the senate
should want to deny the right OF the
people of Arizona TO choose their
candidates for delegates to the CON
stitutionai convention under the d.
rect primary law. The primary law
was enacted in Arizona because of
a widespread demand for 1t as a
means of taking the control Of cleo
tons away from political bosses and
machines. The passage of the sen
ate statehood win with such provis-
ions interfering with Arizona's cleo
ten laws viii cost the republicans
many votes in this territory and
should make the democratic party in
vincible The republicans are en-
gagged in highhanded business in
their treatment OF Arizona now. but
there will be a day of reckoning
in the future.

WHAT THEY WANT.


Now that the statehood bill has
been favorably reported it is very
clear that its passage hinges on
whether or not the administration
fears Democratic success in the COM
ing congressional election and con
sequently the passage of a statehood
bill that win make the territories
Democratic unless they are admitted
at this time.
The territories viii be admitted
provided the interests believe they
can put the two new states in their
pockets
There is 10 trick the Gang has
not resorted to to do this. Once
upon a time the satellites Of this
crowd of political pirates and trust
syeophants framed constitution at
Santa Fe absolutely controlled by
the interests, and the document was
so outrageous that the people forth
with killed it in contempt.
The same spirit even more objec-
tionable. is now dominating the New
Mexico machine from Washington.
Every congress for the last twelve
years. in line with repeated promis-
es, has made tentative dashes with
flourish OF trumpets as to how it
was going to admit New Mexico and
Arizona. The Republicans feel the
pulse Of the public and they fear
TO ignore the matter altogether. but
by ways that are dark they killed
The bills.
This time they have taken the
bride as of a runaway horse and
openly and defianhy injected a
clause telling the people Of New
Mexico and Arizon9 that we VIII let

fering person great deal of good.
About six years ago, l was dangerously
i'll, consulted three doctors, all of whom
said l had kidney trouble. One of the
doctors analysed my urine and reported
that 1 had gravel, and further said that
in order to regain my health and life, an
operation would be necessary. did not
want to be operated on as I was afraid
that I would not recover. Someone told
me of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and said
it was a reliable medicine for kidney
trouble, SO I decided to try it and went
to Mr.. Rose, the druggist, at 1903 Central
Ave-, Minneapolis, and bought bottle,
took it, noticed results and continued
taking it until I was entirely cured.
Having been free from any kidney
trouble for over six years, consider that
I am absolutely cured and know that
Swamp-Root has the credit.
/ never fail to tell my friends about
your remedy, as believe it is the best of
its kind. Your u & o Ointment is also
very good. We are never without jar
in our house.
