PHILANTHROPY AND HOMES.

Men of great wealth and of philan.
thropic bent who are considering
means OF doing good for humanity
will do we'll to read the will of the
late Peter B. Burns, of Liberty, Mo.
Mr.. Burns was not millionaire
He was one of that rather numerous
class in this country the representa-
Itiyes Of which are spoken of in the
press as having "amassed eompe-
tence," generally by hard work and
close economy" Mr.. Burns died not
long ago, leaving an estate somewhat
in excess of $4,000. The terms of
his will have just been made public.
The entire estate is left to the widow
during her lifetime. At her death
one-half of it is to go to the county
Of Clay, ito be administered by the
County Court in loans to men who de-
sire to build homes" The loans, 1t is
provided. may not exceed $4,000 to a
single individual They are to bear
interest at per cenr They are to
be secured by a mortgage on the real
estate, and they are to be paid back
at the rate OF at least 500 year.
Half Of Mr. Burns estate will
amount to $4,000. Should the Coun-
ty Court go the limit in loans, under
the provisions of the will, ten men
could borrow $4,000 each and thus en-
ter upon a home building enterprise.
Should the court limit the loans to
$1,000. twenty men would be benefited
while $500 loans would enable forty
men to make start in life as prop
erty-owning citizens. AS the fund
perpetuates itself it may readily be
seen that Its benefits are likely to be
far reaching. 1t presents an oppor-
tunity whereby a good many indus.
trious and deserving men may be en-
abled to secure homes, whereas with
out some such assistance they would
not hope to do So
Home owners generally are good
citizens. The man who owns his
home, humble though it be, is a man
of some influence and standing in his
community The man who is seeking
ways and means to establish for him
self permanent living place Is the
kind OF man that will make a decent,
lawabiding citizen. The philanthropist
who helps deserving families to build
homes is doing a great and good ser.
vice and is promoting the public wei

PROSECUTION DEFEATED.

During the present term of circuit
court States Attorney Wilson has
been compelled to enter "nolles" in
the cases OF ten men charged with
serious offenses against the com
munity, because the important prose
cutting witnesses were not available.
The offenses charged in these cases
were. one bribery. one manslaughter,
two assault to murder, five robbery,
one mahem.
In all these cases the grand 1uries
composed of painstaking, conscien-
tious men, had found sufficient evil
dence to justify "a reasonable pre-
sumption Of guilt" and returned true
bills accordingly. Whether or not
the same evidence presented to trial
iuries composed Of equally intelligent
and conscientious men would have re-
suited in final verdicts of guilty is at.
least an open question; and in the
present state of things the judgments
Of the grand juries probably will
stand unchallenged in the minds of
most people.
Perhaps the important point in con-
nection with these cases is not that

Ottawa, Ont, Dec 2T.-The Canadian
railway commission has directed the e4
press companies of the dominion to file
lower tariff rates within three months.
The commission declares that express
rates are too high, and that, as the ex-
press companies are owned by the rail-
way companies, there is no occasion for
the existence of separate companies to
handle the express business
A rate reduction of at least 10 per
cent. in through express traffic is ordered,
local rates to be correspondingly cut.

sion holds in its judgment fled yester.

is unreasonable and designed to enable
the companies to escape responsibility
for shipments lost or damaged

of disposing Of profits which otherwise
might be so conspicuously large as to

WHITE HOUSE XMAS
GETS A WORLD ARRAY
One, Horace Vose Turkey-Supplies
Yuletide Feast for Presidential
Family.

Washington, Dec. 27. The celebration
of Christmas by President Taft and his
family was simple. 1t commenced at
9 o'clock, when the family arose and
opened the hundreds of presents. Each
member of the presidents family re-
ceived many and varied gifts The presi-
dent was remembered more than any
other member of the first family Of the
land.
For more than week gifts from all
parts Of the world have been arriving
at the White House for the president.
Mrs Taft took them in tow and slowed
them away from the prying eyes Of
Master Charles, and none knew until
Sunday morning what old Santa had
left.
The president himself was generous
giver, but it is doubtful if he gave nearly
as many gifts as he received. And,
unlike the presents he gave, those he
received We're varied Admirers in one
section gave something symbolic Of their
locality, while others of another section
did the same. Many of these gifts were
in the nature Of edibles. II is certain
that if the president and the members
of his family were compelled to sample
all the edibles sent to the White House
for Christmas dinner there would be
an epidemic of indigestion at the staid
old mansion.
OF the many articles Of food sent one
surely found its way to the presidents
table for the big family dinner Sunday
night, and that was the chestnut fed
turkey from Farmer Horace Vose Of
Rhode Island, who for forty years at
Thanksgiving and Christmas has fur,
nished the White House turkey.
Following the distribution Of gifts, the
president, accompanied by Capt. Butt,
went for a long walk Returning, Mr.
Taft dressed and attended service in
All Souls Unitarian church Mrs. Taft.
Miss Helen, Robert and Master Charles
attended services at st. Johns Episcopal
church. An automobile ride and anoth.
er walk in the afternoon completed the
presidents day Of exercise, At s o'clock
he had dinner with his family in the
state dining room.

completely The Frenchman was among
the aviators who answered the starting
gun at one o'clock For two hours and
fifteen minutes he fought the wind,
which blew directly off the ocean. Then
an adverse current sent his aeropane
downward into a fence under the brow
.of hill, and threw the aviator into a
gully,
The Frenchman was unhurt, but his
machine was mangled mass Of wire
and silken fabric. The motor was the
only part left intact, and Latham said
that having enough parts for three ex.
ira machines. he would build a new
monoplane and be in the air before the
end OF the meet.
Parmalee, driver Of the "baby' Wright,
attained an altitude Of 6,625 feet and
went through spectacular performances
apparently with ease.

graph reading Of Hoxsey's record flight
were sent to Clifford b. Harmon and

OF the National Federation OF Areo Clubs
Of America.
