DEFINITION OF PHILANTHROPY

DIR. D. K. Pearsons, called by An
drew Carnegie the prince of giyers,
has made good his promise that he
would, upon his ninety-frst birthday.
distribute the last installment of his
generous gifts to schools and colleges
amounting to s5.00o,G00. In a state
ment issued by him he says that for
the past TWENTY-FIVE years he has made
il his business to give away the for
tune that he has acquired. He says
that he in the past has objected to
being STYLED philanthropist. He is
willing to accept the title if it simply
means one who loves his fellow man.
Like Abou Ben Adhem he is content
with this title, and, like Abou, he may
find his name leading all the rest
because of the spirit in which his CIV
ing has been done.
Very sflrewdly. however, he puts a
veto on any further appeals to him for
aid from anyone or any institution. He
has given away his all except that
which he has provided for the needs
of his declining years. Pe declares
that he will listen to no solicitors,
ard will read no letters soliciting gifts
The Springfield Register in speaking
OF it suggests that his argument
against being styled philanthropist
in the common acceptation Of the
term is about as shrewd as that Of
Abraham Lincoln, who, after an
argument with a friend as to the
nature of selfshness, was told by his
friend that his act in res ruing little
squealing pig from the mud of the
roadside was truly disinterested, and
answered. Not at all. II was purely
selfish. If had left the little fellow
there, would not have been able TO
sleep tonight on account of hearing
him squealing Or. Pearsons says:
Il used to deny that | was a philan-
thropist was accustomed to say
that had no benevolence in me. But
if philanthropy means loving ones fell
low men, then perhaps | am entitled
to the term. But I still maintain that
If I had chosen my course with A
simple view TO selfish pleasure. | could
not have chosen better than ! did. for

years of constant joy. ! had a good
time making my money. but have
had a better time spending it.
This is a kind OF philosophy that
ought to make any man happier if he
lives to it.

DEFENDS ON TIE CASE.

DR. w. Draper Lewis of the Law
| School of the University of Pennsyl-
sania discussed the constitution prob
lem of the workman's compensation
act in the presence of the American
Civic society in its annual meeting
last week. DR.. Lewis recognized the
great difficulty underlying that kind
of legislation and in the course of a
singularly able paper he sought to
show that the workman's compensa-
ton act is constitutional as far as
il leads to the protection of workmen,
otherwise they would be helpless in
the making of contract
He doesn't refer to the risk of in
jury. The man may take that risk r
whatever price he is willing to work.
But there are cases where. as in the
case of a monopoly, that workman
has no alternative. He must accept
the work offered by the monopolies
or try to make living at something
unfamiliar and wherein he is unskill-
full He is as much tied UP to the
particular work to which he has been
trained as the tenant in Ireland is to
the landlord when all the landlords
stand together in a particular policy.
DR. Lewis does not attempt to show
that any particular trade or industry
in the United States is in that posi-
ton He simply holds the abstract
conclusion that where it can be shown
that workman's compensation act
is based upon such situation. that
the man is helpless, as in the presence
of monopoly, then such an act might
be constitutional He recognizes the
hardship of having single employer
bear the cost of injury to workmen
when he cannot add that cost to the
price of his goods and thus collect OF
society at large
In other words the employer in
such case cannot shift the burden
from his own shoulders TO the should
ers of society by means of adding
the price to the consumer. That is
the great reason why the constitutions
al basis for workman's compensation
act is so difficult to find, not because
of the principles of the common law,
nor because of any statutory formula
OF more recent growth, but because
the fundamental principles of justice
have to be reached before one can get
TO bed rock on the question.
In sentence DR.. Lewis says that
"the economic justification of work
mans compensation act will be found
on investigation to be the same as
the economic justification for laws
against monopoly. Laws against
monopoly interfere with freedom OF
contract and yet are held constitu-
tional. and so compensation acts may
be held legal, if they meet a condi-
ton which requires the interference
Of society in its legislative form for
the protection of those who are other
wise without defense.

FACTS ABOUT THE BIBLE.
Suggested by the Booth Anniversary
Of the King James
Version.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
The Bible is a library of sixty-six
volumes, the books written by differ
ent people at different times and
places, mostly unknown. Many wor-
ship ii as an idol---a fetish, as the
only word spoken by the Father to his
human children. They say that no
other word is needed and it has no
error even in q syllable or letter
Others regard it as 2 human book,
the best thought of the best minds of
the times. Today is. celebrated the
three hundredth anniversary of the
King James version. There are
numerous versions of the Bible and
parts of it before the year 1911, in
various languages and many have
been printed since. The very first
book ever printed BY movable types,
upon the invention of printing, was
a portion of the Psalms about 1850,
or 100 years before the authorized
version
Some Bibles have taken on curious
titles, for instance, the Breaches
Bible. The word aprons in Gen.
iii-7 when Adam and Eve sewed fig
leaves together. The Vinegar Bible
where that word was printed for vine
yard. The Beetle Bible, where the
wcrd was translated for arrow"
Psalm xcl-5. Thou shalt not be
afraid of the beetle (arrow) that
fyeth by day There are also He
Bibles, and She" Bibles, according to
the translation of the pronoun in Ruth
ills. And many attempts have been
made to change the grand old Ian
guage into the phraseology OF the mar
ket place. For instance Matth. vi
10 when we fast, be not as the hypo-
critics of a sad countenanca, it Is
written: Don't put on dismal air
as the hypocrites do" Again, Luke
xvi "A certain man had two cons,
is translated: "A gentleman of splen-
did family and opulent fortune had
two sons. And Matth. xx-3l, and
the multitude rebuked them because
they should hold their peace, but they
cried out the more saying Have
+
reprimanded them to make them hold
their tongue, but they bawled out the
more, Have mercy on u.s.
Miles Coverdale's translation was
the first complete printed English
bible, in 1885, probably in Antwerp,
and our texts are builded upon this
and William Tyndale's Bible. New
versions will be made as new discov-
cries OF writings and OF records buried
for centuries in the ruins OF nearly
forgotten cities are made. These will
rot impair the Wilderness OF the
Books, but in the process of evolution
viii add to their strength and enhance
their beauty and excellence.
The Bible is the best selling book
in the market The demand for IT

With the smiles of appreciation from

With shout we raise in triumph our
bespangled orifiam
AS we go bravely on.
We have seen the troubled waters roll

We have watched its strength with

We have found it in it's bosom. in it's
flowing strong and free,
As faith goes marching on.
We have read the glowing tribute of
its greatness from the pen,
We have heard Its famous praises from
the lips of cultured men,
We can hear and zee its glory beam
wherer our eyes may ken
As hope goes marching on
Ii has sounded forth its wonders like
an ancient magic seer,
And the men OF every nation of its
power stand to hear;
They have gathered at its waters now
in this the golden year.
AS love goes marching on.

When affairs OF, prosperity will burst
