FOUNDATION FUND IS TOO
POWERFUL, SAYS WALSH
INVESTIGATION SHOWS R0CKEFEL
LER TO BIZ DOMINATING FACTOR
Immense Profits Should BE Used to Pay q
Living Wage Instead Of Being Dis
tributed n Charity to Victims.

Frank r Walsh. chairman of the fed.
eral industrial relations commission
which has been investigating the great
philanthropic foundations. IN = statement
made in Kansas City this week declared
that John ID. Rockefeller, Sr.. dominated
the Rockefeller foundation. which could
apply the enormous power of the money
Il controls to almost any purpose it
chose.
The testimony at the New York h~ar-
ing declared Mr.. Walsh. showed that
the trustees of the foundation exer-
cised no authority that did not come
from him. Ii showed that the directors
OF the foundation also We're directors of
the industries from which the founda-
tion obtained its funds. A. an inter-
locking system il beats anything the
railroads and banks ever exhibited.
The powers il claims and exercises
virtually are unlimited, ms are its finan-
cial resources. They are powers which
should challenge the attention Of every
thoughtful American citizen. Whether
such powers can be permitted safely in
the hands of any authority less than
that Of the government of the United
States fs question which will form an
important part OF the committees forth
coming report. ! am inclined to believe
these powers cannot be exercised under
the American theory Of government.
"Thc commission is not through yet
with the Rockefeller and other founda-
tions. but this much can bc said: The
Rockefeller foundation is entirely with
out the realm Of government control.
II am not surprised that the directors
and trustees of the Rockefeller founda-
ton do not know anything about the
foundation. They do not see Mr.. Rookie
fcllcr twice a year.
Mr.. Rockefeller is very smart man,
perhaps the smnrtcst in this country.
But he could not tell the commission
why he did not use his profits to pay a
living wage instead of>nsing them in the
distribution of charity that constituted
power which many Americans have
come to look upon a. a menace

Russians Block Relief Work.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The State Department has received re- ply from the Russian government to the request that American Red Cross work be allowed among the German soldiers held as prisoners of war in Siberia. The Russians have prohibit ed the relief work, claiming that the prisoners are we'll cared for. Reports, however, have reached here to the effect that the condition of the pris- oners was pitiable and that many were dying as result of lack of care. The American ambassador at Pet rograd, who is in charge of German interests in Russia, will make an in vestigation and report to the State Department. Secretary Bryan has or dered that the investigation be thor ough and that it start a once. If the condition of the prisoners is as re- ported the United States will insist upon more humane treatment. The report here is that if the facts are

Abstractly the president is right, but he is raising the issue un- necessarily, and is risking his best asset before the country-his control of congress-for fleabite. The fact that he is right-and he is-will not change the public conviction that there are times when it is not well to insist on truisms.

MONDAY, JANUARY Il, 1915.
THE UNCALLED-FOR CHAL-
 LENGE.

President Wilson's success in mak- ing the country come his way during his first year and a half of admin, istration is now matter of common and platitudinous comment; and the explanations offered for it are many. But the real explanation is simple enough. He has obtained his remark able ascendency because congress, with that fictitious lurality of 1912 in mind, has been afraid to cross him. It has passed his Currency bill, his Tariff bill, it has even violated the traditions of Buncombe County in the Panama tolls matter-just be- cause it was afraid.
 In all past times the recalcitrancy and stubbornness of the Democratic party in office have been a proverD. President Wilson, the first Democrat since Pierce to disprove the legend, owes his success entirely to that fear entertained of him by the men in congress. It is an asset, an asset such as few presidents have had, and one he should not throw away.
 He is throwing it away. He IS throwing it away in a fight which never should have been made. The country will not back the president in a quarrel over patronage which he could easily have avoided. It was not necessary for him to quarrel with Senator Reed, Senator Maritime, and Senator O'Gorman over a few little offices of no interest except to the localities involved. The president may think that he is fighting for prin- ciple, but what he is actually doing is to jeopardize his great Influence and the future success of his admin'stra- tion, with all that that means, for the sake of proving to the senators that his understanding of a clause in the Constitution is right and theirs wrong. They have their own interpretation Ol luG WOIu duV1CC AC IAAAho iI wrong, and apparently he is willing to fight them to a finish for the sake of showing that his definition is the correct one.
 It is a pity. No president in many years has established the control ov- CT congress that MT. Wilson has. Seemingly, he is now willing to frit- ter it all away in an easily prevent able fight over few postmasterships. If he really had to challenge con- gress, it would have been wiser to issue his defiance on some question that really affected the welfare of the country. After a year and a half of splendid management he has seen fit to throw down the gauntlet over that age-old question which Hayes, Garfield, and Cleveland raised in vain. Undoubtedly the framers of the Constitution never intended that the clause giving the Senate the right to advise in the making of nomina-

BARS BULLET.PRoOF VESTS.

Judging from the number of adver-
 tisements appearing in some of the
 German newspapers, a brisk trade has been done in Germany in the sale of so-called 'bullet-proof vests. Such vests seem to have been favor ite gifts for friends to send to sol diers at the front Owing to the high force of modern bullets, however, and the great difficulty of manufacturing a really effective shield against bull lets light enough to be worn with out discomfort, the Berlin chief of police recently issued the following which was published in the Berliner Tageblatt:
 Many shops are selling as a pro- tection against wounds shields con- structed of inferior material. The use of such shields constitutes a grave danger to the wearers, as they are liable to splinter, and the effect of bullet wounds is much more ser ious owing to the metal fragments of the shield which are driven into the body. The commander-in-chief of the Berlin district has, therefore, given orders to prevent the sale of such articles unless the firms in question are able to produce an official guar antee of their value. The penalty of selling these shields without such guarantee has been fixed at 300 marks"

Kino's Counsel.

Kings counsel differ from all other English lawyers. Kings counsel are appointed by patent from the crown. on application from the lord chancel- Tor, and can act as judges of assize when named in the commission. They have in many ways precedence over other lawyers and rank among them selves according to seniority. The robes of kings counsel are of silk in- stead of stuff like those of ordinary barristers. It is the established rule of the profession that no kings counsel shall conduct any case without the employment of junior counsel.
