Injustice of aHushins up.u

The flushing up' policy frequently involves injustice. Credit is due to Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, president gen. eral of the Daughters of the American Revolution, for her refusal to permit sentiment to override equity in the case of the embedding officer of the organ ization of which she is the head. Sad ly she has issued d letter to the mum erous chapters thriughout the coun- try. in which the culprit is formally named as the former curator of the so- ciety, Miss Sarah B. Maclay, an efn- pLoye of the organization from its in ception IS years ago.
 J. E. Bates, the auditor of the D. A. R., has been asked to resign, but it is denied that this step was taken because of his failure to discover Miss Maclay's dedication. The American Auditing company of Philadelphia has been re- quested to make an exhaustive audit of the whole financial transactions of the society since it became a national or ganization. Miss Maclay first fell un- der suspicion eight years ago, but was able to face it down and carry on her peculations It is said that one wonl- an died as a. result of grief brought about by fear that she was under sus- cicn of the thefts.-Milwaukee Wiscon- sin.

one-Man Power in Finance.

Estimates of the money power which can be exercised by J. Pierpont Nor gan within the near future, are diffi- cult, if not impossible, of accura-acy, but it can readily be seen that the fg- ures must be very large. Himself multi millionaire, the firm of J. Pier pont Morgan & Go. having immense resources. controlling at least one great bank, having virtual control of :he Equitable Life Assurance society which run into hundreds of millions. having just combined three trust cOmp1nf ss with assets aggregating $150,000 ,00e and being linked more or less closely with the Steel, Standard Oil and other great trust combinations, can anyone assert that MT. Morgan does not con- trol billions of capital and is the great est monetary power in this country, if not in the world or that he can. if he so chooses, make or mar political par ties promote or smash the stock mar ket. upbuild all kinds of business. and perpetuate or destroy our present form of government?
 Should it prove that he is aiming at the actIal control of the great oanH proposed by the Aldrich monetary com Q mission. and should he effect that pur- pose, would there be any limit to the power of J. Pierpont Morgan in this country? Should it prove that ne IS organizing an active competitor Tor Aldrich's great central bank, would not the greatest financial contest in the worlds history ensue, with dire con- sequences to general business?
 J. Pierpont Morgan is acquiring greater power than can be safely per- mitted to any man. He has been class ed as a conservative financier, as an upbuilder of business interests, and as an expert in the formation of trusts and combines, but it matters not what of good results he may have accom- plished. nor what may reasonably be expected from his record; the fact re- mains that he is evidently seeking to control the life blood of business for purposes as yet unrevealed and which may easDy not be generally benficial. Safety is not. in one-man power of whatever kind.-Bridgeport Telegram.

Law of Progress.

It is not alone by the dependenoy of inferior governments. n@ceesitatinE protective or punitive intervention by stronger nations. that the peaceful equilibrium is destroyed: a state need not be morally and pecuniarily bank rlIpt in order to become a monaco to it's near or more distant neighbora. Finan- cial or industrial instability resulting from unwise laws or bad management in any country makes itself fdlk rrhe world around The severest fnoney panic in Great Britain during the past generation had its origin in Argentn@.
 Minding ones business and all that is implied by the words is the gure9t means for the attainment of universal peace and for the advaucament of che human race. The 6wentieth century, thinks Ambassador Bryce, wili be re- nowned for commerce. for progress in the manner and comfort of hvtng, for the successful extraction from this world of all the boons 1t offere bo thoH o who are willing to go after them. Every nation will strive for comrner- cial supremacy; and this means that every one of its cftizens will have to work toward this end" But ahe com petition that wiIl follow will be but an incentive to advancing each nation on the path toward psrfection.-Phila- delphia Record.
