CAUSTIC CRITICISM
OF CARNEGIE

We find in the Christian Worker,
d bright little church paper Of North
Carolina, the following criticism of
Andrew Carnegie. which may posi-
bly, jar some of his admirers:
Col A. X. Mcclure of Philadel-
phia, was a brave soldier in the fed
eral army, and was wounded several
times. After the war he travelled
much in the South, and learned to
know and love the Southern people.
Not long ago he wrote Mr.. Carnegie
suggesting that he institute a fund
out of his many millions to provide
support for destitute Confederate
soldiers their states being unable
to care for them as the national gov
eminent was caring for old federal
osition made by one who had no
personal interest in its success save
the pleasure generous heart takes
in seeing distress relieved. Here is
Mr.. Carnegie's reply:
My Dear Friend: | have forgiv-
en- the Southern soldier, but l could
not bring myself to give to his sup
port as such. l have forgiven Gen.
Lee for his blunder, but | do not like
to see his statue in the Hall of Fame.
These people made a bad mistake,
having struck at their country. |
am afraid that | forgive. but do not
forget, etc.
Sincerely, with every good wish,
"Andrew Carnegie.'
What do you think of that! He
made five hundred millions by aid
OF the tariff levied for the purpose
Of defeating the Southern people and
continued for the purpose of plumb
ering them, and he refuses to give
cent OF it to their destitute vet
Grams because they ''struck at their
country" Perhaps his words would
not sound quite so mean if he had,
like Col. Mcclure, struck for his
country-but he cid not. All during
the war Mr. Carnegie was away up
North working as a telegraph opera
| tor and never came within five hun
| dred miles of the muzzle of a South
ern gun.
| But then. You see, he begun by
shutting his eyes to the goodness OF

In the Far East who assisted General
Skobeleff IN the conquest Of Turkes-
tan, died today.
General Grodekoff who succeeded
General Linevich In command Of the

any responsibility for the slaughter at

GOVERNMENT WILL
OWN RAILROADS,
SAYS NUDGE
President of Rock Island Lines
ForeseeS Passing Of Private
Control of Transportation
Systems,

asseiAl eoaa1sroHurnce 20 soaHae JOURNAL.
Chicago. Dec 26.-H. U. Nudge,
president of the Rock Island railroad
lines. believes that the private own
ership Of railroads win cease In the
United states and transportation ia
cilltics will be owned by the national
government He is firmly Of the opin-
ion that government ownership is the
ultimate solution OF the problem but
thinks the country is not ready for
this step yet.
"Thls country has the best trans
portation system, at the lowest rates
and operated by the highest paid em-
ployes. Of any system in the world
said Mr.. Nudge in a recent interview
1T would stin have this If a slight in
crease was made in the rates Of trans
portation. The railway stockholders OF
this country are made up Of hundreds
OF thousands of all classes Of citizens.
They can probably take care of them
selves, and It is because of fear that
they will take care of themselves ana
leave the railways to shift for them
selves. that / am disturbed regarding
the railway situation.
If private capital continues to be
withheld from railway investment, as
il is now doing, government ownership
will be the ONLY alternative, and while
this will probably be the ultimate So
luton Of the problem, | do not believe
the country is ready for IT yet Pend
ing the time when the people are
ready the splendid railway system
which they now have should be Kept
intnct and improved in accordance
with the necessities of eommeroe--in
order that when It Is taken over by
the government It will not have dete-
riorated so that the government VIII
have to tax the people for It's rehabil-
itatlon il may also be set down as a
certainty that II there Is no change IN
the conditions when the government
does take over the railways, one OF
three things must happen-either the
rates will be raised, wages reduced or
the deficit will have to be made up
by taxation
"some of the laws that have been
passed by the present congress Will
undoubtedly, prove beneficial ana
Others are probably needed, but this
may be safely said, that whether we
have high tariff or low tariff an In
come tax collectible at the source, a
change in the currency laws, or what
ever else may be passed, the people OF
this country will go on eating, drink
ing. carrying and giving in mar
riage. as they have done In the past
IN spite Of what is said to be the worst
currency system in the world and oth-
er similar conditions; but they cannot
live comfortably unless the products
of the soil are increased to correspond
with the increased population and un-
less they have the means Of preparing
this produce for consumption, and the
means for carrying IT from originating
point to the point Of consumption.
