THE SOCIAL CONSCIENCE.

A Chicago merchant, who died re-
Gently, bequeathed $250,000 upon his
employees. BY the terms of his will
net only the men working for his firm
at the time of his death but the
widows of those men who died in ac-
tive service of the company are pre-
sented with sums, all considerable
and some amounting to small COM
petence.
The act of this merchant is quite
novel, for it deviates from the accept
ed methods of philanthropy. A hos.
oital founded for the money might
have perpetuated the name of the
donor more conspicuous. BY taking
care of the widows of his former en-
p'oyes the merchant began with char
ity, where it should begin, at home.
This bequeathal of quarter of
million dollars by merchant to his
employees, like the acts of so many
more merchants and manufacturers
who are active promoters of move
ments which aim to make their help
profit sharers in their concerns are
symptomatic of the times. They are
acts of an awakened social conscience.
Tney show that many of our mer-
chants and manufacturers who hitn-
erto were wont to think only in terms
of dollars are now beginning to think
in terms of humanity.

FUSION AND AFTER
WARDS IN NEW YORK

The nonpartizan and anti Tammany
committee of 107, which was created
some months ago to nominate fu-
sion ticket for the municipal election
next fall, has finally made its choice
as to the mayoralty. The leading
candidates were Whitman, the eff
cient prosecutor; McAneny, the able
and constructive borough president
of Manhattan, and Mitchell, at pres
ent collector of the port but until late
ly comptroller of the city and CO.
worker of McAneny. Some fusionists
and outside citizens seriously suggest
ed Gaynor himself, the present mayor,
for the nonpartizan nomination, be-
lieveing that his virtues outnumber
and outshine his alleged political vices.
But that seems to have been too
subtle stratagem for the majority
of the committee.
Mitchell is the fusion candidate for
mayor. He is young, independent,
aggressive, and fearless, but the ques-
ton is whether the Republican and
Democratic voters who are relied on
to defeat the Tammany ticket Will
warm up to Mitchell. Strong anti
Tammany papers have stated that
the Republicans will generally bolt
Mitchell, because of his affiliation
with the Hearst element and the Pro-
gressives. Mitchell, too, is not likely
to be acceptable to many anti-Tam-
many admirers of Gaynor, who re-
sent the bitter attacks Mitchell and
his friends have made on the mayor.
Will the Republicans nominate a
ticket of their own? Will Tammany
nominate Gaynor. who seems to be
sure of nomination at the hands of
the citizens organization recently
formed for that purpose? The New
York Sun hints at serious develop
ments in the fall and ridicules the
activities of the "Amateures." The
situation is still confused and COM
plex, and it will take time and dis
cussion to clear it up and to ham
mer out the issues and features of the
New York municipal campaign.

COLORADO'S RICHEST
MAN DEAD AT PUEBLO

PUEBLO, Aug. 14.-John Thatch-
er, multi-millionaire banker and re-
garded as the richest Coloradoan, died
at Z o'clock this morning of heart
trouble while sitting in a chair at
his residence. During his two months
and a half of illness he was not con-
fined to his bed except occasionally.
Aug. 25 he. would have been "
years of age. He leaves widow and
three children, John, Raymond and
Miss Lillian, all of whom were pres
ent at the time of the bankers death.
Thatcher was vice president of the
First National bank here and twenty
other banks in southern and eastern
Colorado. He lived here fifty years.
Deceased was born in Perry county,
Pennsylvania, in 1886 and came to
Denver in 1868. He was one of the
first merchants who located in Pueblo.

E. An article by George Albert Schre-
iner which appeared recently in the
New York Evening Post was devoted
to showing that new conquest of
Mexico would not be picnic. The
writer, who served in the Boer war,
dwelt upon the difficult nature of the
country and the probability of COM
plete union of the people under the
influence of foreign invasion. In his
opinion the Mexican government could
easily raise fighting force of 200,-
900 men, which would be the equal
of $4,000 burghers. Guerrilla war
fare would be waged indefinitely.
Judging by the British experinece in
South Africa, a great army would be
required for offensive work and it
would cost some $5OO,OO a day. For
tunately the United States is not
planning an invasion; the Mexicans
are to be left to do their own butcher
ing. But we have had some talk by
swashbucklers on the subject and the
estimates are interesting. They are
reminder of the question once asked
by John Bright-was war the only
activity in which the government en-
gagged of which the cost was not to
be counted?

CoNTAINs MUCH rRuTH.

In its series of articles on the high
cost of living the Record Herald
prints supposition case which is not
very far overdrawn. There is no ques-
ton but that the high cost of living
is partly due to the demands of the
public to have goods delivered. 1t
costs the consumers of Durango in the
neighborhood of 81 500 mcnth TO en-
joy free delivery by the merchants
$4,000 to 100000 year for small
city like Durango. Here is the sup
position case in the Record Herald:
Mrs. Cornelius Flutter lives in an
aristocratic suburb of Chicago. She
has a wealthy husband and an estab-
lishment that is quite pretentious for
the suburb, although it might not be
counted much on the Lake Shore drive.
She has her own social and club in
terests, which occupy much of her time
and it will be evident from this story
that her household is not well organ
lied. Therein we got an item of the
increased cost of living.
!. Mrs. Flutter's cook needed some
things that the grocer supplies, such
rs flour and a breakfast food and a
few vegetables, SO she telephoned for
them and the grocer delivered them.
Mrs. Flutter's maid discovered that
abe needed some cleansing prepars-
tion for her work. SO she telephoned,
and the grocer delivered it.
Mrs. Flutter herself then invaded
Semi-weekly herald., 1913-08-18

the kitchen and decided that there
were some things needed, SO she tele-
phoned, and the grocer delivered them.
Then the cook discovered that she
had forgotten something, SO she tele-
phoned and the grocer delivered it.
A second maid discovered the need
Of something, for which she tele-
phoned, and il the garage the chauf
feur decided he had need of meta
polish that the grocer could supply, sc
he telephoned. One Of the grocer's
wagons made two more trips to gel
the things to Flutter's house.
Unexpected company for luncheon
made Mrs. Flutter feel that it was in
cumbent upon her to get few lux
uries in the vegetable line and rush
order went to the grocer over the tele
phone, and again he delivered the
goods.

THE REVOLVER FOR DEFENSE.

A man who would sell gun to a
19-year-old boy should be put in
prison If it were not possible for any
man or boy to purchase revolver, my
son would probably be living today.
The father who said this is an agony
of grief said this from per-
sonal experience such as has come to
many people in this country. Cases
of suicide, of accidental shooting, due
to the influence if liquor, of shooting
suggested by the passion of the mo-
ment, of shooting the wrong man by
mistake, all traceable to the ready re-
volver, so far exceed the shooting of
thugs in self defense that the list
of the latter is insignificant by COM
parison.
But we are told that the general
sale of fire arms is necessary be-
cause of those comparatively few in
stances in which thug is shot by
a law-abiding citizen. Undoubtedly
this is put forth as the most plaus-
ible plea for gun-toting. Undoubted-
ly it meets with the enthusiastic ap-
proval of persons who make large
profit out of the sale of deadly weap-
ons.
What it actually amounts to in
practice is indicated by comparison.
1t means bolstering up custom that
results in death to scores on the slight
chance that the law-abiding !citlzen
may happen to do up burglar or
footpad.
And there is still another view of
the matter that we should like to put
before the advocates of gun toting
for self defense. They are willing
to admit, apparently, that if the thugs
could be disarmed, a. general dis
armament would be good thing. But
they never make helpful suggestion
toward the desired end. On the con-
trary, they say that they can't pre-
vent the thugs from getting revolv-
ers. Such logic might perpetuate
reign of vigilantes in any community
and give the courts and the police an
indefinite leave of absence. ,I.
The above is from the Chicago
Record Herald where campaign
against the hip pocket fiend is being
waged. The Herald has often called
attention to the evil and although it
is against the law we have no doubt
hundreds are toting guns around in
Durango.
