American soldiers and sailors. under

1t could have been easily foreseen
revolt against the attempt of few
multi-millionaires to shape the educa-
tion of the country through the big
Educational Foundations financed by
these possessors of overgrOWn for
tunes. One of these multi-millionaires
some time ago set apart a large sum
for the pensioning of college profess
sors who had spent given number of
years in the work of education. A
condition attached to the granting of
these pensions was that the recipients
of them must not have been a men,
Der of the faculty of any sectarian col
lege. This was all indirect way of
boycotting Christian teachings in
American colleges. Later on, the
same individual made a grant of
million dollars to university founded
by the Methodist Church South. The
grant was conditioned on the proviso
that all official connection with the
Methodist Church should be broken
off,
The multi-millionaires who are seek
ing to mould education in this country
after their own pattern have not con-
fined their attention to our colleges.
They are also seeking to popularize
their views about primary and second
airy education. Their activities have
become so pronounced that they have
attracted the attention of the United
States Senate which has concluded
that it is time to put curb on them.
This it proceeded to do when it voted
on Friday of last week to GUST from
service in the Federal Bureau of Edu-
cation all educational specialists in the
pay of the Carnegie and Rockefeller
Foundations. Senators were moved
to take this action because the paid
agents Of these Foundations were try
ing to dictate who should hold office
in educational institutions and were
reaching out to get control of the nor
NAL schools of the country. All this
was work preparatory to carrying out
the educational views of the pay

been found wanting.
Many of her enthusiastic friends be-
lieve she would make likely candi-
date for governor or Congress and
plans for her to run for one of those
honors are mentioned as possibility.
Her admirers point to her keen in
sight into political affairs and her un-
usual ability as a public speaker as
amply fitting her to hold either high
position with credit.
When the issue of statehood for Ari.
IONA was in the balance in 1911, Mrs.
O'Neill went to Washington and added
her eloquence to the pleas of distin-
guished citizens who sought the boon.
Last fall she was nominated for the
lower house in the state from a field
of 13 and was seriously mentioned for
the speakership. She took an active
part in the state and national cam
paign.
She is especially interested in pro-
hibition and raised her voice in favor
of the law that made Arizona "bone
dry" in the last election.
Mrs. O'Neill was the wife of Cap
tain Buckley" O'Neill, who fell at the
head of his Rough Rider Company at
San Juan Hill. Later she married Eu-
gene Brady ONeill, brother of the
Arizona hero, and active in politics.
Mrs. O'Neill is devout Catholic and
it is said that she brought her husband
back to the faith after he had fallen
away. Mr.. O'Neill was candidate for
United States Senator from Arizona
four years ago. He was defeated by
the present Catholic senator, Ashurst.
