The Rockefeller Foundation.


Evening Telegram: According to
the dispatches, the senate committee
having in charge the bill to incorpo-
rate the Rockefeller Foundation have
decided that by amendments all the
dangerous features of that founda-
tion have been removed, so they will
recommend its passage, says the Jop-
lin, Mo, Tribune. The danger which
they apprehended, and which they
think removed, was to the minds of
thoughtful students the smallest of
its dangers. 1t is not of much i'm
portance who appoints the directors
of the foundation or who they are.
They will in any event be men and
subject to the temptations and weak
nesses of men. The attachment to
an institution of which they are gov
ernors and their loyalty to it, forget
ting other interests, will be as great
if they are appointed by the presi-
dent of the United States or by a
member of the Rockefeller family.
The real danger is in the perpet-
uity of the estate which the founda-
ton secures. If it is right that such
an estate should BE- made perpetual,
or that the Astor family should by
means of trust establish an estate
which is to remain in the family per-
{ petually, and cannot be alienated
then were the founders and early
| jurists of the nation wrong. 1t was
and continues to be the policy of the
nation to prevent the passing of titles
| to estates in perpetuity. No right of
entail has been recognized in this
country except one of very limited
for this, but chief among them all is
/ the intention to prevent the estab-
lishment and growth of great estates
and landed families. To avoid this
principle by means of corporations
and trusts is but a subterfuge and
is calculated, if persisted in, to break
down one of the strongest bulwarks
of the peoples liberties.
The establishment and growth of
families. wealthy I'm goods and proud
in pedigree, means the establishment
and growth of caste and class. 1t
means separation of the people into
division like the division of Eu-
ropean peoples, wanting only the til
tie of nobility, which in few years
will follow through the separation
An aristocracy of wealth and pedi-
gree and democracy cannot endure
side by side in a free nation. Soon
er or later the democracy is wiped
out and the aristocracy, controls until
! it becomes so oppressive that worn
human nature can bear it no longer
and revolts.
1t is history, it is human nature,
which the senate committee is for
getting when it counts the dan9er
r. moved from any scheme which con-
'e nplates the avoidance of the rule
AGAINST estates entail of whatever ma
ture. 1t is bad enough to allow the
accumulation of such great estates
as the one in question and Others too
numerous in the country; it is worse
a thousand times to allow them to
be made in perpetual tenure. Accu
mutation and distribution should go
hand in hand in nation in which
the people are ana wish to remain
the sovereign rulers

HUERTA AND CARRANZA

1t is a mistake to assume that The
people of this country. especially those
of them who live along the Rio Grande,
have no direct interest in the war now
devastating the republic of Mexico. 1t
would also be a mistake to assume that
our interest is in the least concerned
with any issue between Hucrta and Car
rama, or between Huerta and any other
aspirant for the presidency Of Mexico
If YOU ask the average citizen OF
Brownsville what issue, if any, there is
between Huerta and CarranZa, he would
be bound to say he does not kn3w-cX-
cept that both are after the presidency
of that country. If there is any other
point Of difference between them then it
must be looked for in the list Ct hard
names each bestows upon the other. The
question of whether these names are de-
served by either party may constitute
an issue but in those things, however,
we on this side Of the border are not
concerned.
AS to Carranza and Huerta we
should be well content to see either of
lutlI III bONStNSlpn VI liz IlANi'A III
office. if either of them is able t. bring
about peace in Mexico. With us it is Il
question of peace rather than Of what
particular citizen of Mexico shall occu-
py the presidents chair.
No American citizen feels in the least
inclined to raise any issue Of honesty Of
either Huerta or Carranza nor of the
perfect loyalty Of either to his country
and its institutions. Yet it is TO he great
Nv wished that the two distinguished gen
tlemen might find it in their way to
bring about some peaceblc adjustment
of their Observation-Disclosures their diff
ferences may be.
AS Americans we are not called on to
take part in their quarrel, but as Amer
leans and as humanitarians we can't look
upon this ruin Of Mexico with equanim-
ity. No san man at all acquainted with
the facts can doubt that the country
is being ruined.
A nation is never ruined by itself.
The destruction Of human l;fc III Mex
leo. apart from all considerations Of
Christianity, is a calamity which touches
her commercial and business affairs in
ways that will react harmfully upon her
neighbOrS. If We were the mcreSt bar
barians, actually Indifferent To the sor.
row and agony of our n%eighbors beyond
the river, we must nevertheless, for the
sake of our business interests. desire to
see an end Of the war in Mexico. From
either the humane or the selfish stand
points what difference can il make to
us whether Carranza or Hucrta rules in
MeXico-or whether either Of them rules
there.

Wednesday was the coolest day in
June in Florida in forty years. No one in
Brownsville remembers anything about
the temperature Wednesday. We seem to
have a hazy notion that it was a bit
stormy-like it used to be up north after
a rainy day in midsummer. Which means
there was nothing about it to attract
particular attention.

Brave Girl Acts Quickly.

The girls face grew deadly pale as the
man spoke, but she did not lose her presence
of mind or her courage Without word
she grabbed the knife which the young man
had dropped and before he realized what she
was doing she had cut away his sleeve and
had pressed her lips to the two small black
dots In the arm that showed where the rat
tiers fangs had struck.
The youth tried TO push her away, but
Miss Ernst stopped further remonstrance by
grasping him by the throat She knew she
had fever blister on her lip and she knew
also that if the one who sucks the twin pune
lures through which the snake sends death
has broken tooth or an abrasion of any
kind in the mouth or on the lips. it Is as
though the snake had thrust its fangs there.
But she did not hesitate.
Rescuers found the two practically uncon-
scious. For week Schoenhut lay deIirious,
and for week the girl lay silent and still.
There had been enough of the venom in the
rams veins to bring him to the portals of
death. Through the little blister on the girls
lips enough poison had entered to bring her
near to the door of death, too.

then shrug his Indifference. All the pleasure
of pursuit has been lost for him. He has
been beaten at his own game.
But other things seem to be passing on in
Paris besides the traditional man. There are
the children. They, too, seem to be moving
on 1t seems as though the Pied Piper had
gone through the gray walled streets and car
ried away the youngsters to a country of
green fields and quiet. For when thousands
upon thousands of women are only painted

are chi,dless, how can children abound? In
the gardens may be seen few with their
nurses, while here and there are groups of
children. pale faced, delicate, walking in line
with their attendants. These certainly will
not be the vigorous French soldiers of the
future.
One recalls that when the Pied Piper car
ried off the rosy youngsters of Hamelin town
the lame little boy could not keep UP and had
to be left behind. So perhaps these children
are the descendants of the unfortunates who
could not keep Up with the piper's pace as he
pped his melody through the Paris streets.
