DR.. Jordan on the Rich.
He then went through the ceremonial
of delivering his orders to those who
had to take part in the ceremony.
Chairman Lewis introduced DIR. Dav-
id Starr Jordan, president Of the Le-
land Stanford Junior University as a
personal friend of Andrew Carnegie
His name was greeted with applause
81 hardly came on this short notice
to he n representative of Mr.. Car
negie,' began DIR. Jordan. "The people
in the United States" he continued,
complained that they we're getting too
many rich men. Men we're growing too
rich, and little rivulets of money were
flowing from the pockets OF the poor
people into the pockets of the wealthy
men.
European rich men were also growing
| constantly richer. Over there they had
| systematized on this matter; they were
keeping the money for coming gener-
ations. In America, however, il was
found that the men who had made the
millions were men of their own kind,
who had made il for the pleasure of
making it, and not to keep it for future
generations
Mr.. Carnegie Benefactor.
In Mr.. Carnegie would be recognized
a disposition to aid the poor man all he
could. The first great thing Mr.. Car
negie had done with his millions was
to assist scientific research. Now men
We're investigating different things

of the earth and many other things

Poor men could not work very long
without money.
How Carnegie's Millions Grew
Another fine gift was that for libra
ries. Mr.. Carnegie had told him, the
speaker said, that the way in which he
made his money was by not, employing
men who only knew the old methods of
| steel working, but by employing steel
workers who could read bound books
and could carry knowledge of steel max
] ing as far as anyone could carry it, and
| then go in and investigate for them
selves as to further methods. An edn-
Gated man was one who could read
bound books that contained suggestions,
| hooks that contained the gathered ex-
periences of the world. The value of a
library was that it brought to all the
experience of the world on any subject,
and put it where it could be got at.
| With this experience one could always
add to the knowledge already possessed.
Science was merely human knowledge
tested.
The Nation For the People.
Americans were coming to recognize
that the nation served the people; it
was not the people who served the
nation. The United States was the
peoples country, and it will have to
become what the people want it to be-
come. The time had now come when
knowing little is inadequate for the
managing of the nation. There is NO
use doing simply what our fathers had
| done. These times are strenuous. There
, are only one hundred years in which
to do this century's work, and already
over ten of them have slipped away.
The many discoveries and inventions
OF the past century have made the
times exceedingly complex. 1t IL not
now easy for man to see his way.
Making For Democracy.
There was constantly going on the
interchange of thoughts. Vessels were
coming and going, and there was an
exchange of thoughts and articles with
the mainland, and with all other parts
of the world from Hawaii. This all
made it necessary for the people of
today to be more alert than were our
fathers. This world is more and more
becoming democratic world. When
men are wanted TO do things, the search
is not made among the sons of princes,
nor among any particular race The
men are wanted who can do things.
who can carry a message TO Garcia.
Never mind what man = religion
is or what is father WAS, or where he
was born, IL he has the knowledge. The
nation Is work can only be done by those
people WHO can find out what is neces-
saTy 10 be found out.
