THE CARNEGIE PENSION.

NnarlOtte observer.
The Carnegie pension has
brought comforts to not a few
retired college professors lit il
increased in amount and broad.
ened so as to give its help to 9TH
er old teachers, the money will
be OF service to those who would
otherwise be not lar removed
from want IN old aye. This pre-
suming that the pension is to be
a beneHrence alone and that the
men who disburse the fund have
no voice in the management of
any educational institution and
no influence in its curriculum or
policy. II il opens the door Tor
even advisory pressure upon a
single institution, it were better
that the professors live on a crust
than accept the money. The fact
the professors live on a crust
than accept the money. The fact
that professors in church colleges
cannot share the fund indicates
q narrownpss of scope that cre-
ates suspicion.
Only two States-TexaS and
Nebraska have refused to al
low their State universities to- go
on the Carnegie pension roll. The
Omaha World. Herald says that
this has been spoken Of to sneer
ut these two States. and adds
"but the sneer might betterb I've di.
rrcted against the States which
did not have the intelligence and
independence to to stand with
Texas and Nebraska. With the
passing OF time it becomes grad
ually more apparent that the old
warning against the Greeks who
come bearirg gifts in peculiarly
applicable in this case"
IT. he Springfield Republican

gle foundation that should give
pause. 1t says:
cit is almost startling to OBJ
serve the progress already made
by the nothing but private pen
sion Carnegie foundation, which
IS agency, in dictating education
al policy to tn" colleges and uni
versities OF this country. The
coercive power lurking in the
simple meuace OF being dropped
from the Carnegie list Of "accep

tremendous in it's possibilities.

ing to share the income OF the
steel bonds, which Mr. Carnegie
graciously diverted to the sup

emphasizes the moral of the sit
untion. Thus State institutions,
supported by State taxes, are
coming to listen meekly while DR..
Pritchett suggests this, that and
the other education in their ed
ucational policy
Better the old log school hous-
es and teachers who must work
until the end than to ''listen
meekly" to oictation in order to
secure pensions. How many pro-
fessors. earnestly desiring .en-.

lu his declining years, Speaker
Cannon il assuming the role of
the comedian. In a letter made
public to the Illinois Editorial
Association the speaker ma d e
this reference to the tariff.
"The Republican party has car
ried out its tariff pledges in a
way to justify the Presidents
pride in that enactment, ETC."
Straining credulity, it NAV be
true that the Presidents pride
has been satisfied, with regard
60 nnfulfilled tariff pledges, but
how about the pride of'the great
American public.
Recently q Northern magazine
sent inquiries to Western Repub-
lican editors, asking what they
thought OF the new tariff bill, al
so what they thought Of t h q
Speaker of the House. An oyer
whelming majority, in fact al.
most all OF them, answered in no
uncertain terms that they were
righteously displeased both with
the tariffand the Speaker 8 course
in having it thrust down t h e
throats of the consumers. No
one appreciates more keeuly than
the S!eaker himself the popular
unrest over the makeshlft tariff
till passed, and the very fact,
that at studied intervals, t b e
speaker, Senator Aldrich and the
President himself, find it neces-
sary to publicly defend the meas

tempting to quiet the popular
nphpaval. The party pledged
downward revision. The Presi-
dent reueated his assurance that
the tariff would be reformed The
present law represents neither re-
form nor downward revision.
The public knows this for the pub
lie watched every move made in
the game of evasion.
Again the Speaker assumes the
jestpr's role when he solemnly as.
serts that the present Congress
has been most energetic and sue.
cessful in enacting remedial legis-
ton OF any other Congress for
years.
1t will be remembered by the
public that the present Congress
has been in session now for over
four months, and that asid e
from investigating conduct of
public officials, and investigat-
ing causes and effects OF actions
OF the previous Congress, nolaws
whatsoever have been passed
save the Postal Savings Bank
bill.

by accident the cage OF the hoist
was raised too high, striking the

"swEAR NOT AT ALL"
Biblical Recorder.

the Office, the factory, the high
way is tainted with it and Vita
ted by it. Boys and men. who
claim to be self.respecting and
who move in the best society as
gentlemen, are often guilty oftbe
very un.entlemuuly vice ofswear
lng..
Profanity is the impious use OF
the name oil God. In a moment
OF rage or rerklpssness the uibri.
died tongue voices a bald and
bitter oath, sometimes in bias
phemous irreverence. What per.
son, upon a moments thought,
can harbor such q spirit, hurllng
the poisonous hate OF a polluted
heart upon the head of associate
and f.llow.man? Yet it is lament
ably true thatin many men there
are reservoirs OF oaths issuing in
frequent and blighting streams.
Again, there are many non
swearerS who have the FAULT of
repeating profane conversation
AMI emphasizing the oath used.
This is little better than original
swearing. In there nothing else
to repeat hut caraless oaths and
abusive profanity? Where are
godly men and women that We
should stop with eyes and ears
and mouth open to catch and re-
tain and nonl'ish the silly stories
OF the contemplate swearer?
Where arr Shakespeare and Mil
ton aud Longfellow and Father
Ryan-volumes sparkling with
gems of golden iruth-that any
man should parade the streets in
search OF the sinner who takes
the name of God in vain? Where
is the Bible, with truth in every
line and love in every verse and
Christ in every page, that we
should never repeat it's sublime
passages, but fondlc and hoard
and cherish as sweet spices the
profane utterances oI the swear.
er?
Further, there is no valid de.
frnde to be made for the un-
thoughted by-word which is pro.
fanity's twin brother. The Eng
llsh language, with it's rich vo.
cabulary and endless varieties
OF expression. is insufficient for
some mtn to give their ideas to
the world in apolite manner. By.
words are called in to enhance
the value Of weak savings and to
support flinsy assertions; b u t
they are defeated in their very
object, for, while intended for
emphasis, they indicate weakness
OF statements. They also lead to
unmistakble profanity. The user
OF by-words will after a while be-
come the nser ofoaths. The mea-
nest thief that ever stole h j u
thousands began by taking pen
MES. The basest assassin that ev.
er drew a dagger began his career
in trivial misdemeanors. So the
foulest blackguard and the pro-
fanest human brute that ever
strobe the earth bryan their
lives "f mischief with testing bv-
words and petty vulgarities. Be.
hold The vicious end and beware
OF the insIdious beginnings!
What, then, may be SAID of
swearing?
1t is totally useless. Listen to
Herbert:
"Lust and wine plead pleasure; ava.
rice, gain;
But the cheap swearer throught his
open sluice
Lets his soul run for naught."
1t is Indecent. Chaplin has this
to say: Profanity is u brutal
vice. He who indulges in 1t is no
grntleman-I care not what his
stamp may lie in society, | care
not what clothes he wears or
what culture he boasts. Despite
all his refinement, the light and
habitual taking OF Gods name

$4,000 NEEDED FOR
NEWARK'S ADVERTISING.

1T will require at least $50, 900 to
properly start the kind of a campaign
that will insure satisfactory results
said James NJ. Reilly, secretary of the
Board of Trade, yesterday in speaking
of the proposed plan to start a pub
licity campaign similar to those being
carried on by other cities throughout
the country.
Such an undertaking is no small
matter" continued Mr.. Reilly, and one
of the most essential details is to be
properly equipped in the matter OF
funds. Every city that has thus far
taken up such a campaign has been
backed by a large fund, and when you
consider that several of our local firms
spend from $2O,0 0 to $780, 900 a year for
advertising their business in Newark
alone, you can see what would be re-
quired TO advertise the city in the way
that is intended.
I'VE are gathering much data on the
subject and are outlining ways and
means to pursue the right plan, but It
will take a little time and our people
must respond when the appeal is made
for the kind of support that win make
the movement successful"

GOVERNOR FORT OBJECTS TO
SUNDAY GAMES FOR GAIN.

Governor Fort expressed his SYM
pathy with a CLOSED Sunday in a
speech before the annual meeting of
the Centenary Fund and Preachers
Aid Society, held in connection with
the Newark conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church last night at the
Central Methodist Episcopal Church.
The Governor criticised those who
wished to have games and other world
~ attractions permitted on the Sab
bath for purposes of gain. I'VE do
not mind it so much when people them
selves advocate these ~recreations, but
we do object to the mar at the gate
admission coming forward in an eff
fort to get these things for his own
gain,' said the Governor.
Eulogizing the late William H.. Muir
ply, who founded the fund with a
donation of $4,000, the Governor
showed keen interest in the aims and
objects of the society, suggesting a
pension for preachers similar to that
now provided in New Jersey for judges
more than 10 years old. A pension
FUND would stimulate many ministers
to more earnestly work while the
knowledge that the ~poorhouse was o
his ultimate destination would be a
source of great comfort. He was sur
prised hat so many went into the
ministry when the average salary is
about equal to that of a s-tenographer.
Milton E.. Blanchard, treasurer, re-
ported an increase of $19,230.2S in the
assets of the society during the last
five years and an increase of s1.179.S6
In the interest paid to conference
claimants. The total assets are now
$S7, 254.23, and last year $4,270.7e was
paid to conference claimants as in,
terest.

FIRE BOARD RECOMMENDS
HIGH PRESSURE EXTENSION
Cost of Maintaining Department
Last Year Over 100000.

The annual report Of the fire depart
ment of Newark shows that there are
800 men on the payroll and that the
city's apparatus consists of twenty
four steamers, two chemical engines.
twenty combination chemical and hose
wagons, five hose wagons, ten hook
and ladders. one water tower. 52,4O0
feet of 21a-inch hose, 800 feet 3-lnch,
$500 of %-inch. One hundred and sixty
horses are used.
The cost of maintaining the depart
ment last year amounted to $601, 340.09.
Among the recommendations was an
auto fire engine for Vailsburg and an
other for Forest Hill. which were asked
for last year, but the Fire Board was
unable to get the money from the Com
mon Council. 1t is believed, however,
that the Council will provide the money
this year.
The board also recommended the ex-
tension of the high-pressure system in
the manufacturing districts and the
building of a central fire station at
Halsey street and Branford place.
