At Kansas City, Judge Gaynor made an address in which he referred to the Rockefeller donation of $32,000.000 for education, and declared that we make a mistake if we construe the ability to make such a gift as an indication of our prosperity. J’he judge then argues in this manner: “It we find the railroads being used to allow a few to acquire stfch fortunes at the expense of their fellowmen by having their freights carried at a rate lower than others have to pay, so that they are able to create monopolies in themseves, our condition is not one of the-perpetuity of our free government.” This seems to be a clear statement, says the Ohio State Journal, of how that $32,000,000 was made. Whether it can be utilized in the furtherance of worthy objects, is a question of great interest. We do not see any better way of settling it than to take a note of the kind of prosperity that comes to those institutions that have accepted any portions of this great bounty. Such an inquiry can easily be made, and it would prove one of the most profitable investigations that could be attempted. It would take the question from the academic plane to the levels of actual experience. On one side it is said that money made unlawfully or dishonestly cannot, in the nature of things, serve an honest purpose. Or, in other words, there is a taint in it that removes from it the power of doing good. It is a question that touches the very heart of eithics, and can be debated on principle without hurt. But how will experience decide. Let us hope this matter will be settled by the facts. Not, of course, by the showy facts or stately statistics, but by the actual good to men that has been accomplished and the battles for a pure national life that have been won. The basis for these conclusions is getting in shape, and in a few years the doctrine will be established as to the socalled tainted dollars —whether there is good in them or not. —Ft.

GAME WAS CLOSE Locals Take Third Game of Season FROM ROD AND GUN CLUB Score Was Six to Four and Interesting Notwithstanding the Zero Weather. Perhaps a hundred loyal fans braved the “almost snow” weather yesterday and were well repaid for the effort. It was a close game for nine innings and one in which the spectators never lost interest a moment. The opposing team was the Ft. Wayne Corner Rod and Gun club and they proved themselves a worthy foe. The visitors scored in the first inning. The first batter up went out at first, but Miller, the next one, got on through an error by Behringer, and scored on Dawling’s long hit to center. In the second inning the C. R. & G. tallied again. Meyers got a hit, went to second on a sacrifice and scored on Bakers safe one to center. In the fifth round with two men out, Jack Smith of Bluffton fame, walked, was advanced to second when the next batter was hit by a pitched ball, scoring on Dawling’s two bagger. They scored their last run in the seventh, Boseker hitting safely, was sacrificed to second and crossed the rubber on a two base hit by one of his comrades.

Decatur got her first run in the second, when Burns walked, Way turned a sacrifice into a hit, advancing Burns to second. Pierce sacrificed Burns to third and Way to second and both crossed the plate on a two sacker over third by Arthur Daniels, tieing the score. In the fourth Pierce put a safe one into center, stole second and came home on a two base hit by "Kid" Ayett The locals got their next one in the sixth, Daniels going to first when third baseman Smith fumbled his grounder, Winger sacrificed and advanced Art to second from where he scored on Geyers clean one to center. In the last half of the seventh, with the game four to four, the locals put the "clincher” on by securing two runs. Linderbeck put on against the right field fence for two sacks, and Burns landed one over the left fielder’s head for the same amount scoring "Dutch.” Burns went to third when the second baseman fumbled Ways slow one and scored on Pierce’s drive to the second baseman. The score by innings: DECATUR.

ers and gentlemen. Braden, of Ft. Wayne, umpired, and gave good satisfaction, no objections being made. Daniels, Ayette, Linderbeck and Burns each made a two base hit yesterday. Guess wer're some stickers. Oscar Way has won a home. He is a brilliant outfielder, a wonderful batter and an A-1 pitcher. The team goes to Garrett tomorrow, Portland Monday, back here to meet Frankfort Tuesday and Wednesday go to Richmond Friday and Saturday. Somebody should send in an order for some better base ball weather. This kind puts the treasury on the bum rapidly. The verdict is that our team will develop into a faster bunch than our boys of last year. They sure look good. Porland defeated the fallen champs of Bluffton yesterday at Portland in a fourteen inning game, by a score of nine and eight. This makes the Wells county boys per cent even five hundred.

TO SETTLE DISPUTE (Continued from Page 1.) cannot be sent over independent lines. Telephone men expect that if the Indiana independents will agree to the compromise offer of the Bell interests the latter will follow the agreement by a proposition to Ohio independents similar to that in Indiana. Although the independents companies will discuss a business arrangement designed to restrict competition to some extent there will be no general concession of effort to extend the independent lines. Telephone development of the country, the independents contend, depends largely upon competition. As proof of this they point to Kansas City, a competitive city, which has 22,000 more telephones than Washington, a non-com-petitive city with 70,000 more population. Like argument is presented by the figures from Minneapolis and Cleveland, which, combined, have 712,000 population, but support more telephones than Boston, a non-compe-tirive city with 1.307.000 population. The telephone convention to continue three days, will be called to order on June 4, by President James B. Hoge, of Cleveland. Representatives of thirty state organizations of independents, having a total of 7,000 companies on their membership lists, will be present. ■ o WANTED —A boy to learn the baker’s trade.

ANNUAL COM MENT (Continued from page 1.) uals. With the commencement of the 15th century he pointed out the markings of each century up to today. He said the one achievement of the nineteenth century was the making this world mighty small by means of steam, electricity and other inventions. Tfle 20th century he declared, will be a complex one for there is a specially trained man for every work. His definition for an educated man was this: “A man who is on to his job, knows what he is doing and does it well, and who has the ability of putting the grease where the squeak is.” He was given a rousing applause as he closed. As a speaker he was easy and graceful, and he possessed a splendid voice. The next to the last of the program was “Presentation of Diplomas” by Wm. Beachler, who gave each one excellent advice. The exercises closed with Rev. A. B. Haist, pastor of the Evangelical church pronouncing the benediction. These excellent young people, who are Misses Winifred Johnson, Fannie Frisinger, Leonata Winans, Messrs. Harry Dibble, Walter Baltzell, have come to graduation day with credits equal to any %-ho have taken a place in the ranks of the high school alumni. and the world will bid them welcome to its busy life. May they be useful citizens.

Nearly two hundred invited guests attended the reception last night after the close of the commencement exercises given by the Seniors, who received the guests at the door and their congratulations were numerous. Six young girls, dressed very pretty, served the guests dainty refreshments, after which a social hour was enjoyed, which proved the Seniors royal entertainers. PLEASE RAILROADS (Continued from page 1.) on states that brought J. Pierpont Morgan here to see the president, last February, and nearly every railroad president that has been in Washington since congress adjourned, spoke regretfuly of the disposition of state legisaltures further to regulate railroads.

First and foremost your true riverman can ride a log. This does not mean merely that he is able to stand upright or to jump from one to another without splashing in. though even that is no mean feat, as a trial will convince you. That is the kindergarten of it The saw log in the water is not only his object of labor, but his means of transportation. Your true riverman on drive seldom steps on land except to eat and sleep. A journey down stream is to him an affair of great simplicity. He pushes into the current a stick of timber, jumps lightly atop it, leans against his peavy and floats away as graceful and motionless as a Grecian statue. When his unstable craft overtakes other logs he deserts it, runs forward as far as he can, the logs bobbing and awash behind his spring, and so continues on another timber. Jack Boyd once for a bet rode for twelve miles down Grand river on a log be could carry to the stream's bank across his shoulders Fully half the time bls feet were submerged to the ankles. Nor does quick water always cause your expert riverman to disembark. Using his peavy as a balancing pole and treading with squlrrel-llke quickness as his footing rolls, he will run rapids of considerable force and volume. When the tail of a drive passes through the chute of a dam there are always half a dozen or eo of the rear men who out of sheer bravado will run through standing upright like circus riders and yelling like fiends.—Stewart Edward White in Outing Magazine.

Marriage Expenses. Careful observation, extending over a period of forty-two years and supplemented by thousands of interviews with storekeepers, hairdressers, modistes, milliners, collectors and others, leads us to believe that the average cost of a bride's trousseau in this coun-try-taking the rich with the poor—is the sum of $66.38. Equally careful observation convinces us that the average cost of a bridegroom's sartorial outfit Is slightly less than one-third that amount, or, to be exact, $22.01. Thus we have $88.39 as the cost of the garments worn by bride and bridegroom at the average wedding and in the course of the average honeymoon. —Baltimore Bun.
