PASTOR CALLS RoSENWALD'S
GIFT ONE OF TAINTED MONEY
Kansas, City, Mo-, March 11.-The
Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady of st.
Georges Episcopal Church today de-
manded that Kansas City reject Jul
Jus Rosenwald's $25, 00O, contribution
to the Welfare Congregation of this
city. Mr. Brady writes as follows:
''In view of the recent disclosures
of the attitude of Mr.. Rosenwald of
Sears, RoebHck G. Co. of Chicago
toward his women employees, / re-
specially but earnestly protest
against acceptance by the citizens
of Kansas City for the Helping Hand
Negro Y. M. c.. A.. and other public
works which started the recent cam
paign, of the $25, 900 he donated.
"Mr. Rosenwald has not given the
money himself; he has ground it out
of the poor, and what makes it es-
pecially heinous, the poor are women.
No protest against the heartlessness
of the man would be so public or
emphatic as the return of the money
or the withdrawal of the acceptance
of it.
''To make up for this loss, will
double my small subscription, and am
morally certain that there are
enough men like me who will do the
same, so that the great work will not
suffer. If no one else will make it
up, the workingmen and women will
certainly do it themselves. If ever
money was tainted, that money GER
tainly is. Your sincerely.

RESUME WORK ON OIL
WELL At L|TTLEF|ELO

LlTTLEFlELD Texas. Feb. a.
Work has been resumed on the oil
prospect well near the headquarters
OF the yellow House ranch. Several
months ago J. +. White. manager
OF the yellow House ranch, decided
TO put down a test well and invest-
gate the oil indications. his inten-
ton being to sink this hole TO
depth OF twenty-five hundred feet II
necessary. The hole was put down
10 a depth OF thirteen hundred ana
fifty feet. and indications were grow
ing better all the time. when an ac-
cident happened which put a stop
TO operations for some months A
big piece OF steel was lodged in the
bottom OF the hole. and though II
was driven to one side and the drill
ing was continued the hole was
crooked and had 10 be abandoned.
MIR White is now having the casing
drawn and will put down another
hole a few feet from the present one
Mr. White is confident that oil VIII

ter can be adjusted, and the more
quickly adjusted the better. From what
We have seen, 1t is our opinion that the
row had it's origin in politics more than
anything else. A majority of the COM
mission, or rather practically all Of 1t,
being bitterly hostile to the governor,
sought to ignore him and he has not
been willing to be ignored. If in the
recent campaign there had been a full
ticket of candidates on the governors
platform there is good reason to be-
lieve that the people would have made
a clean sweep. The election of the at
torney general, the only other candi-
date running on that platform is very
good foundation for such a belief. In
the circumstances therefore, 1t would
seem that If the general assembly de-
sires to voice the will of the people, 1t
will take hand and see that the gov
ernor's ideas with reference to refund
ing the state debt, receive proper con-
sideration. Such action will insure the
speedy refunding of the debt, and 9TH
erwise there is promise of long, un-
necessary litigation that does not in
volve any principle more important
than the question as to whether the
men who constituted the sinking fund
commission last year or the governor,
should have their way in the matter. AS
we see 1t the people have decided with
the governor in the matter, and the
general assembly will show good sense,
and save a lot of trouble If 1t will do
likewise. ......

Now that the senate, by two-thirds
majority has passed the bill seeking TO
amend the Federal Constitution SO as
to limit the presidential term to six
years, it will be interesting to see what
the house will do. 1t is all very nice to
talk about what the other fellow should
and should not do, when the other fell
low is on the other side; but when the
matter directly concerns our own in
terests we are inclined to look upon 1t
differently. OF course the Republicans
in the house will vote for resolution
that will make impossible a second
term for Wilson; but many Of them
have hopes that Roosevelt may have
another show and that will make a diff
ference. However, we will see what we
will see, what the house will do and
then what the various state legislatures
will do. AS we see it. the proposition
is all right; but we have an idea that 1t
is going to have long, rough road be-
fore it becomes a part Of the Constitu-
ton.

Where a school district Is willing to
put up half the price Of new school
house to cost s4O0, $500 or $500, the
state and county will put up the other
half, each contributing one-fourth. The
countys half comes out Of the general
school fund. Of which no more than
per cent may be expended for the pur-
pose in any one year. The states part
comes from a special appropriation
Many school houses have been built
throughout the state on this basis
during the past few years, and when a
school district comes to think over the
matter, 1t is not difficult to see what an
easy proposition 1t Is. The lot and lum-
ber are generally sufficient to make up
the districts half, or very near 1t, and
the county and state pay the cost OF
building. Where a school district votes
a special levy Of two mills, and Is un-
able with the money raised to run a
school five months, the state contrib
utes one hundred dollars to make up
the deficiency. In practice this law has
been a great boon to weak districts.

Work is Progressing Nicely and Some
LEGISLATION is Practically Through.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:

smoothly with the York delegation In

a strenuous one. The house Of lords (?)
(the senate) and the house Of repre-
sentatives each have been holding
night sessions and great deal Of work
has been done. After fillibustering for
more than an hour Friday night the
house foolishly adjourned to meet on
next Tuesday night. tN
The big Corn show Is on, and the
city Is in gala attire. Visitors are here
from practically every state in the Un-
ion and the attendance from all parts
of the state Is fairly good. ., s,,. %. 49,,

THE FIRST MONDAY.

There were as many mules and
horses in Yorkville yesterday as on the
first Monday In January. but not so
many people, and it was not good
day for business on account Of the
weather.
The rain which had commenced
with a drizzle Sunday night, broke
into a downpour early Monday, and
the day was wet, sloppy and disagree
able throughout. During much Of the
time the visitors had to keep indoors;
but still many found opportunity to
get into the back lots and the horses
and mules that were being offered Sc
cured a good deal Of attention.
There was quite a. lot Of swapping
and a number Of sales; but most Of
the business Of the day consisted of
the development Of prospects for fu-
ture trades or sales. a-
