Big FORTUNE WELL HANDLED
Millions Left by the Late Russell Sage
Are Being Expended for the Wei
fare Of Humanity.

While the late Russell Sage vas in
the flesh he was one of the most pru-
dent. shrewd and persistent money
grubbers in Gotham. The astute iinan-
cier never plunged nor risked any
money in wildcat schemes. He was
a ''sure-shot" operator in Wall street,
and when he died he left in the hands
Of his lone widow a fortune of some
thing like $75.OO0.O0O. Since becom-
ing possessed of this enormous for
tune she has worked as persistently
and assiduously In scattering the
money as her husband did In gather
ing 1t. The scriptures tell us that
the miser is the man that heaps up
riches and cannot tell who shall gath
er them" Russell Sage knew better,
and the good lady upon whose shout
ders was imposed the burden Of this
enormous sum Of money has worked
hard in tightening the burden. Her
philanthropies have been productive
of as much wisdom as marked her hus-
bands operations in the market. She
Is reported to be failing In health, and
her task Is only begun. Should she
be taken from the world thousands
will regret her departure, and 1t is
very earnestly to be hoped that fur
Their care of the property will fall into
good hands.

NO MEASURE OF SUCCESS
Childish Work Of Democratic Con.
sressmen Bids Fair to Reeoll on
the Party.

| 1t looks as though the Democratic
congressman have overreached them
selves in their determination TO make
showing of economy for the effect
it may have In the presidential cam.
paign. Again they have been play.
| ing 1t low down" and the result prom.
ises to be the unexpected one which
often comes to contestants who re-
sort to unfair tactics.
They passed bill which, If enact.
ed into law, would seriously cripple
the state department 1t would undo
much work of value to the country
which 1t has been a long time In nc.
complishing. The bill contemplates
the adjustment of the bureau of trade
relations and the office of director of
the consular service.
These agencies have been estab.
lished as the result of long.continued
efforts to make the consular and dip.
lomatic service of the United States
as useful as 1t should be, not only
from the International and political
standpoint, but to the commercial In
terests of the country as well. They
have enabled the state department to
obtain and act upon information hav-
Ing vital bearing on the possibili-
ties of American trade abroad, espe-
cially with Latin-America and the
awakened far east. Their develop
ment has but Just reached the point
where practical results are being OBJ
tanned.
Nobody knows better than the Dem
ocratic congressman the value OF this
service. And they should be given
the credit of not really wishing to de.
stroy 1t. They feel certain that the
bill Will not be passed by the senate,
and have every reason to believe that
II 1t we're 1t would be vetoed by the
president.
Whatever aid and comfort the Dem
ocratic party will be able to get from
the putting across" OF this petty lit.
tie scheme they will probably be able
to crowd into small tin whistle. 1t
looks as If the Democratic congress-
men, in wading into mud, have mlred
themselves.
