CAN THE LEOPARD
CHANGE HIS SPOTS?

The industrial commission charged
with the investigation of the Carne-
gle, Rockefeller and Russell Sage
foundations" furnishes lesson to
billionaires and beggars.
The charge has been made that
these gigantic and magnificent chari-
ties are designed "to perpetuate the
present position of predatory wealth
through the corruption of the sources
of public information" The commits
sion coldly proposes to study out
whether these benevolences constitute
menace or benefit to the nation
1t is not likely that any sane inves-
tigator will find that these founda-
tons will strengthen predatory
wealth. In times like the present,
when men are jobless all over the
country, they may be seen crowding
into Cranegie libraries to read books
on socialism.
Men and women will use the educa-
tion Rockefeller provides to hasten
the day when there will be no more
such monsters of acquisitiveness as
the Standard Oil trust.
The Russell Sage foundation, found
ed on the fortune of a man who
sliced every advantage, will go to
help those who are disadvantaged, and
to give the handicapped a share in
life's successes.
Yet the investigation shows that
there will be little thanks for whatev-
er is done. The reward of these do
nations will not be national gratitude,
but rather an intensified feeling, and
some suspicion and some scorn.
Rockefeller cannot make good"
declared Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell, after
she had completed her history of his
company.
Rockefeller will always be known as
great getter of wealth, not as a
lover of mankind. No man can buy
himself a seat among the great and
good of earth, especially not with the
money of monopoly and rebate.
Nearly 1000 years ago King David
was forbidden to build the Temple of
the Lord, because he was a man of
blood. No man can turn from a ca
reer of industrial rapacity to conse-

THE LITERACY TEST.

The proposed literary test for immi-
grants that has been agreed upon by
both branches of congress, is rot so
much an educational as it is an eco
nomic proposition.
1t is peucliar that Cleveland and
Taft and Wilson should be opposed to
admitting or excluding immigrants in
proportion as they answer to the lit
eracy test. 1t admits man who is
immoral, who lives by his wits instead
of by his muscles, who has no desire
or intent to give value received for
whatever he may do, if he can read
and write, has a few dollars in his
pocket, and can pass inspection as to
his health.
1t excludes the industrious and am
bilious man if, in his youth, he has
been denied the privilege of going to
school and picking up a smattering of
education, no matter how intelligent
he may be. What Mr.. Taft said when
he vetoed a former literacy test bill,
is worth repeating:
81 have an abiding faith in the
influence of our institutions upon
all who come here. no matter how
lacking in education they may be,
if they have the sturdy enterprise
to leave home and come out to
this country to seek their for
tunes"
No one who conscientously STUDIES
the problem of immigration can es-
cape the conclusion that a ,/literacy
test is no barrier at all to undesirable
immigration. Education is matter
of opportunity solely,H If a man is
sound in mind and morals, if he is will
ling and anxious to work, if he is
moved by tha ambition to give his
children S&tter opportunities for in
teiiect1M and material advancement
than Tell to his own lot, if he has
good health, to exclude him is to de-
NY him the right to earn living
Where he can obtain for his services
: the greatest amount of compensation
with the least exertion.
The demand of organized labor for
the literacy test is simply the desire
to restrict competition in the labor
field. 1t is based on the assumption
that there are not enough jobs to go
round, and that keeping jobless men
out is really doing them favor. If
organized labor would use intelligence
in taking down artificial barriers to
jobs, instead of trying to exclude the
iobless, it would do itself and the
country a service commensurate with
its power and influence.
The literacy test is uneconomic, and
being unecOnOmic, it is immoral

Representative ]. C. Adkins of AL
achua county will be candidate for
Speaker of the Florida House of
Representatives. Mr.. Adkins is a
most capable man and in the event of
his election would fill the place with
dignity and in manner to reflect
honor on the State of Florida. But
Mr.. Adkins is not good mixer and
neither is he a man who attracts
warm friendships at the start. His
friendships are made, but they are of
slower growth and of the sticking
kind; this is not to his discredit, but
it is to his disadvantage when he
comes before a body at its organiza-
ton asking the one place of power it
has to bestow.

NEW STYLE
PREACHING,

More than 10000 people assembled
in special tabernacle in Philadel
phia the other day for the WORSHIP
of God. After the usual opening ser
vice Of song and prayer the grea
congregation was startled to see
man of athletic build leap to the to,
of the table, clap his hands together
with report like the crack from /;
gun, and yell:
Come on, you forces of evil in
Philadelphia that have made the
church door mat to wipe your
dirty feet on; come on, you triple
extract infamy! Come on. you as
sassins of character! Come on,
you defamers of God and enemies
of His church! Come on, you
bull-necked, beetle-browed, hog
jOwled, peanut-brained, weasel
eyed four-fiushers, false alarms
and excess baggage! In the name
of Almighty God, | challege and
defy you! I'm here for nine
weeks. Come on, and I'll de-
liver the goods, express prepaid!
The preacher was the Rev. DIR.
William A. Sunday, d. D., better
known as Billy Sunday. Men who
have been looking to God for spirit
ual awakening, will be little sur
prised to learn that BILLY" modestly
claims that he is the 81 who will de-
liver the goods.
This is new idea of the gospel
of meekness and humility. II is some
different from the way of the late
D. L. Moody, who prayed that "God
would. would keep + him humble /.
Strange? YES, and yet BILLY" Sum

SULPHUR DRIES
Up ECZEMA AND
STOPS ITCHING
This old time skin healer is
used just Like any
cold cream.

Sulphur, says renowned. dermatol-
ogist, just commOn" bold -sulp hur made
into thick cream will soothe and heal
the skin when irritated and broken out
with Eczema or any form of.seruption.
The moment it is applied. all itching
ceases and after two or@three applica-
tions the Eczema disappears, leaving the
skin clear and smooth.
He tells Eczema sufferers to get from
any good pharmacy an ouncee,of bold
sulphur and apply it 'to%Ithe irritated
parts the same as you would any cold
cream.
For many years common bold-sulphur
has occupied secure position in the
practice of dermatology and cutaneous
affections by reason of its parasite-de-
stroying property. Itais not only para
siticidal, but also antipruritic, anti
septic and remarkably healing in all
irritable and infammatory conditions of
the skin. While not always effecting a
permanent cure it never fails to in
stantly subdue the angry itching and
irritation and heal the Eczema right
up and it is often years later before
any eruption again appears on the skin.
