Ashland Adopts BitulithiC.

The city council OF Ashland re-
sends paving resolution and rele-
gates asphalt in favor OF bitullthic.
The Ashland Tidlngs says:
Myer presented resolution, re-
scinding the councils action taken at
previous time regarding asphalt
pavement, the measure submitting
bitulithic instead, to preserve uni
formity and for other good and suf-
ficient reasons. This provoked a
long discussion, In which Cunning
ham stood alone as favoring giving
the asphalt people chance In the
premises. The resolution recites
the prediction for the asphalt ma
terlal and It's virtual adoption early
in the season, but notes n decided
change of opinion in favor Of the bit
ulithic after close investigation
Party lines were obllterated In
adopting this resolution almost un'
animously, Cunningham only voting
against It.
This reversal Of the council re-
peals all action heretofore taken by
that body regarding the paving pro
position, and the entire matter VIII
have to be threshed over again as &c
prellminaries necessary TO be taken
before any actual work can be gotten
under way again, delay that Will
hinder active operations for some
time TO come.

for the moral and social condition Of
the country to import our iron than
to have it produced at home under
such conditions. The tactics by
which the steel corporation absorbed
its greatest competitor, the Tennes-
see Coal and Iron company, Is inter-
esting and instructive. BY means of
stock manipulations on Well Street
the managers of the steel corporation
had succeeded in cornering the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company, but
feared to give the grand coup on ac-
count Of the Sherman Antitrust law.
.J. p. Morgan visited President Roose-
welt and informed him that the af-
fairs of the Tennessee Iron and Coal
company were in bad way and that
the failure of the company would
probably precipitate financial
crisis; that his company would pre-
fer not to have anything to do with
the business, but in the interests of
the general welfare his company
would absorb the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company and stave off the
crisis, provided he had the presi-
dents guarantee that the law would
not be enforced against them. He
got the guarantee, and by an expen-
diture of about forty millions got
several hundred millions OF dollars
worth Of coal and iron lands and
steel plants. And yet, notwithstand-
ing all this, subservient congress
voted to maintain the duty on iron
to Increase the swollen fortunes OF
the vulgar Pittsburg mlllionaires.
The student Of history can distin-
guish but little difference between
the gifts OF libraries and colleges by
the owners OF unearned fortunes,
and the gifts Of corn and gladiatorial
shows made by the wealthy Romans
to appease the populace while they
were acquiring the resources and
wealth OF ancient Rome.
I should prefer to see the proffer-
ed gift flatly refused, but in the In
terests Of the employees Of the United
States Steel corporation ! shall sug-
gest that Mr.. Carnegie be Informed
that he will be allowed 10 build a

MESSAGE TAKEN TO
COLONEL ROOSEVELT
United States Senator Elihu Root
Carries II from New York
Republicans.

When United States Senator Elihu
Root sails for Europe on the Lapland
Saturday he will bear with him mess
ages and appeals from New York
political chiefs to Colonel Roosevelt,
asking the former president to re-
turn to this country prepared to take
over the leadership Of his party in
the state and rule things with an iron
hand. Incidentally, when the junior
senator meets the former president,
in whose cabinet he was, he will
present to him for the first time the
Taft side of the administration fight
against the insurgents in congress
and former Chief Forester Pinchot,
former Secretary of the Interior Gar
field and other close friends OF
Roosevelt.
The message Root will bear from
the New York leaders to the ex-presi-
dent will be an appealing one. He
will be told that the acceptance of
the supreme court justiceship by
Governor Hughes has demoralized
the party, that the old guard is dis
rupted, and that the disclosures in
the Aids investigation and the fire
insurance inquiry have discredited
the organization so that radical ac-
tion is necessary to prevent the demo-
Gratis from sweeping the state next
fall. Root will not return until Sep
tember, as he will be occupied for
some time with his argument before
The Hague court in the Newfound-
land fisheries case.

John d. Rockefeller has cut loose
from the University OF Chicago, which
he founded but before doing so he
contributed ten million dollars more
to the institution, bringing his total
donations 20 the university up TO thir-
ty-five millions. Mr.. Rockefeller now
believes the school should be support
ed and enlarged by the gifts of many
rather than those Of a single donor. Up
to the present a sum Of nearly seven
millions has been given TO the institu-
ton in addition TO Mr.. Rockefeller's
gifts, which amount probably will be
increased very materially in future

Now the University Of Chicago be-
longs in a greater sense to Chicago
and the west, yet it will stand as a
monument TO the generosity Of the oil
king along philanthropic lines. 1t is a
remarkable institution and one that
greatly enhances the cause of educa-
ton in the west. People generally will
noV be inclined TO regard it more than
ever a peoples university, although
Mr. Rockefeller has not interefercd at
any time in shaping the policies of
the institution. II will be re-
gretted by all friends Of the school
that he has made his final contribu-

no difficulty in finding a sufficient
number Of philanthropists who will
come to the rescue when funds are

Many people are inclined 10 think OF
such great universities as Yale and
Harvard as the clubs Of the sons OF
rich men. While il is true that the
sons Of a great many wealthy men dc
graduate from these institutions OF
higher learning II is equally true that
the proportion Of earnest young men
who pay their own way through col
lege is as large.if not larger today than
ever before The total amount Of
money earned last year at Yale, during
term time was nearly 100000 while at
Harvard the amount reached nearly
$40 600. These amounts were earned
by stenography, tutoring, and as wal
ters and janitors. The impression
that the present day universities are
simply places where they train men
10 live properly on Easy street and
enjoy club life is not as true as il
sometimes appears to be. The earnest
man with lots Of courage and high
purpose can find much that broadens
and enriches his possibilities when he
gets into life.

Colonel James NJ. Guffey of Pitts
burg, whose recent financial difficulties
caused sensation in business circles,
is one of the best known oil and coal
operators in the country and million
aire many times over. Mr. Guffey is
said TO be the largest holder of West
Virginia coal lands, his unsold holdings
in that state being l36,700 acres. This
property is said to be worth at least
S1J,000GO0 containing about 100000
tons Of coal.
Early in life the colonel, who began
as a very poor boy, took hand in
Pennsylvania politics, and for many
years has been acknowledged as the
leader of Democracy in his state. His
pocketbook was always open in both
state and national causes of Democ-
racy.
Seeming n natural leader he came
into national prominence In 1897, when
he was elected Democratic national
committeeman from Pennsylvania, re-
entered the political game as a Bryan
man. which made his quarrel with the
Nebraskan three years ago all the
more spectacular.
1t was two years ago at the Denver
national convention that Guffey was
practically read from the Democratic
party" by Bryan, who had James Kerr
made national committeeman in Cuff
fey's place. Kerr died soon after his
election, and Colonel Guffey was again
made a member Of the national COM
mittee by his Democratic constituency
in Pennsylvania, position which he
yet holds.
