NUMBER 30 1.

Tainted Money. Touching on a subject of much local interest the Indianapolis Star said yesterday: "The Rev. Mr. Case of Richmond objects to Earlham College receiving a donation from John D. Rockefeller for a library building on the ground that Mr. Rockefeller- money is tainted. Curiously enough he states that he considers Mr. Rockefeller a good old man, but objects to the gift because the money came through the Standard Oil company, and yet Mr. Rockefeller practically is the Standard Oil company, and has always been. Uut the more interesting question presented is what is to become of tainted money? Suppose Mr. Rockefeller's money Is tainted, he cannot take it with him when he leaves this mundane sphere. Some " disposition must be made of it by somebody. On Mr. Case's theory it can not be properly devoted to any good purpose. The only alternatives left would be to destroy it, or to let it go to bad uses. "Mr. Case seems to confuse moral principals. lie is a graduate of Earlham, and was presumably instructed in morality from "the essay3 of Jonathan Dymond, like other' Earlham students. Mr. Dymond plainly teaches that a good man can not personally accept the profits of sin or wrong of any kind. He teaches further that such profits not only may not be taken directly, but also may not be taken as a gift or a legacy. Hut he does not teach that such money may not be accepted for a charity or for some other good purpose. He commends the example of a Quaker who was part owner in a merchant vessel that captured a merchantman of the enemy during a war. He could not, under his church principles, accept his share of the prize money, and turned it over to h?s church brethren for "disposal. They returned it to the owners of the captured vessel as far as possible. "But suppose the owners could not have been found? That is the case with Mr. Rockefeller's money. If it be assumed to be tainted, it has been taken from the oil consuming public in driblets, and the nearapproach to returning it would be to apply, it to some public use. If anything could purify tainted money it is a beneficial use of it. Whether Is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifleth the gift?' Is Mr. Case aware that fines for all sorts of sin and vice are put in the common school fund and used for the education of the children of the land? The money with which those fines are paid is certainly tainted if any money is tainted. What would Mr. Case have? Shall a moral man take his children out of school because tainted money is used in paying the expenses? Even the rampant Prohibitionist, who objects to a saloon license especially a high license does not refuse to patronize the public schools because they are in part supported by liquor licenses. "Really Mr. Case ought to get out his Dymond and review it, reading with, especial care the chapter on "Inequality of Property," in which the man who feels that he has more wealth than he ought to have is urged to diminish it for two reasons 'to benefit others, and next to benefit his family and himself and as a mode of diminishing is commended 'the claims of- benevolence.' What is 'a good old man' like Mr. Rockefeller, who has inadvertently come into the possession of tainted money through secret rebates and relentless crushing of competitors, to do a1out it, if it cannot be accepted for benevolent or philanthropic purposes, and there is no way of returning it to the original owners? Is he to be condemned to risk his immortal soul by keeping the tainted money himself? He surely could not, if repentant, give It to the wicked, whose consciences raised no objection to taking it. Mr. Case's theory seems to make the case of the wicked rich man who repents an utterly hopeless one."

fact's Help Ourselves

The only question Is whether the legislature is willing to do Its duty by the people of Indianapolis. The bill . ought to pass both houses by a unanimous vote. We are glad to have the help of the Richmond Palladium in this fight. "Let's help Indianapolis," it says. Very good we welcome all such reinforcement. But In helping Indianapolis in this struggle the, people of the state will be helping themselves. For in these days of the expansion of monopoly there is ho community in the state that is safe. Tomorrow it may be Richmond, Evansville, Ft. Wayne, Terro Haute, Lafayette or any other city in the state. It is a time for all the people to stand together against monopoly. This we believe the people of Indiana propose to do. Indianapolis and Richmond have spoken. We should be glad to hear from the other cities of the state. -. We have quoted above part of an editorial which appeared in last evening's Indianapolis News relative to the gas situation in Indianapolis. The News strikes the right keynote when it declares that the people of Indiana in helping Indianapolis secure the passage of Senator Cox's bill, aimed at the Indianapolis gas trust, are helping themselves. As the News says, "in these days of the expansion of monopoly there is no community in the state that is safe." Richmond knows that only too well from past experience. We do not nor shall we ever forget how our city suffered beneath the heel of monopoly as administered by the Light, Heat & Power company and the Central Union Telephone company. The power of both these monopolies has now been broken, in the first place by the Municipal Light plant and in the second by the Home Telephone company, otherwise known as the Independent. In this latter case, however, in view of the inefficent service rendered the past six months the citizens of Richmond appear to have been gold-bricked and independence, like charity seems to be covering a multitude of sins. Indianapolis through the News has helped Richmond in regard to our Municipal Light plant. Only a month or so ago the News in a masterly series of articles, showed how the grasp of the electric lighting trust was tightening on the cities of Indiana. One of the series dealt entirely with the relentless figh;t of our local branch of the trust, the Light, Heat & Power company's, upon the city's plant. Let's turn to them and help Indianapolis "bust" its gas trust. In helping that city win over a monopoly we are but help--ing ourselves, as the News says. The best way to meet the monopoly issue Is to give it a stiff knock in the head every time it pokes its head above ground. It is our honest desire, therefore, that our two representatives, Ratlift and Elliott, and Senator Kirkman will do their utmost to further the interests of Indianapolis by helping thes passage of the Cox bill.

Smith of Atlanta, governor-elect o

Georgia, was the principal speaker at the Southern Cotton association. In view of the recent controversy between the New York,cotton exchange and southern cotton growers his re

marks were given close attention. There were two reasons, he said, why cotton has not sold for its real value, the use of unfair means by outsiders to depreciate the price and the failure of the farmers to use business like methods to maintain the price of cotton. '"Cotton buyers," he continued, "are largely influenced in the prices which they voluntarily offer for cotton by government reports and by the publications which go all over the world from the New York cotton exchange. If government reports are manipulated to show a larger production that the real crop the price is depressed and the farmer is the loser."

dishonorably at the time of his visit

On the contrary, he made no. oath nor affidavit of any kind, nor did he sign any statement or any writing. Further, it did not appear that any person was deceived or mislead, or corruptly persuaded by Fairbanks to do any of the things set forth in the charge made against him, nor was there any evidence whatsoever that Fairbanks made any effort to change his appearance or to disguise himself by wearing unusual apparel, or by doing any other act or thing to deceive or mislead in this respect."

He is married and has several grown children, and his home is in Pittsburg. As illustrating the character of the man the story is told that one day in 1S74, when he was an assistant engineer of the Pennsylvania, a wreck occurred, and when he reached the scene it had been fairly well cleared up. Hunting up the foreman of the wrecking crew, he said, "What can I do to help?" "Nothing at all, sir," said the foreman. "Nothing!" exclaimed McCrea. "No, sir; everything's looked after except carrying up some of those cross ties down there in the ditch." Throwing off his coat, James McCrea went down into the ravine, picked up a cross tie, put It across the shoulder and carried it up the bank to the wreck. One after another heavy piece of timber was carried up the embankment until the work was completed. The wrecking crew named him "Cross Tie Jim."

The statement has been made that

horses average from twenty to thirty years of life and dogs from twelve to fourteen years. A French encyclopae

dist credits the horse with thirty to

forty years, the dog with twenty to

twenty four. There is a sufficient range of uncertainty in these figures to cause doubt whether detailed study has been made of the subject.
