Coal OH JoHntiy To tHc Rescue Just when interest In the Thaw trial threatened to cast his fair and oily name Into temporary oblivion, tin D. Rockefeller comes to the rescue with a donation of $32,000,000 the cause of higher education. What a wily old codger he is. John Wanaaiaker, the merchant prince of the country, spends some two millions of dollars annually advertising his goods. John Rockefeller, high mogul of our piratical financiers, spends $32,000,000 at one clip advertising his saintly name. This makes a total of $13,000,000 the oil king has given for higher education. There are many people who would say that this $43,000,000 represents money which our oily saint has filtched from the people of the country. They would say that he has raised these necessary copecks by increasing the price of oil and gasoline and that he Is really donating our money and is getting all the credit for it himself. . How wrong such reasoning is! It just shows how foolishly some people think. They never take into account the preliminary work John D. Rockefeller had to do in order to build his gigantic oil trust. They do not realize the many sleepless nights he spent scheming how to get more rebates from this railway or additional drawbacks from that one. They forget the vast amount of time and money spent in bribing or corrupting our various state legislatures in order that Standard oil senators might form the majority in our senate at Washington, and that thus no injurious legislation might be enacted against the great and good-for-Johnny-and-hls-gang oil trust. As to complaining that this great donation was raised by increasing the price of oil that only goes to Bhow how absurdly tho people really are In their reasoning. It absolutely proves how impossible they are as compared to the great brains of

our master financiers. Demand and supply decides the price of oil. That is, if Coal Oil Johnny finds his funds getting low, in order to increase their supply, he simply demands more money for his oil. That is as simple a problem as any contained In elementary arithmetic. Now then,in order to squelch the criticism3 of the envious of course it Is only the envious who are complaining about his business methods Coal Oil Johnny has determined to dump ti few of our beg pardon HIS surplus millions into the cause of higher education. What a great soul to thus return good for evil. How he heaps tons of gold we mean coals of fire, upon our unworthy heads. Maybe if we are able some day to take advantage of the education offered by one of his subsidized colleges, we shall be able to truly understand this sanctified oil king. For surely all the colleges he is so kindly helping with our beg pardon HIS money, will have a course devoted to explaining the life motives and methods of this great man, from bis own standpoint. A Woman's Sacrifice Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has proved to be the star witness for the defense in the Thaw trial, and, maybe, will be the means through which her husband, Harry Thaw, will secure an acquittal. Her testimony Khowed Stanford White to be a devil In human shape, a man whose paternal and protecting manner was but a cover for the rank and devilish devices by which he enticed young girls to their ruin. Mrs. Thaw's graphic recital of the vile and ghastly plot through which Stanford White robbed her of her honor has aroused the pity and sympathy of the whole country. And such a recital cannot but have exerted great effect upon the jury that Is to decide her husband's fate. Everyone knows the great sacrifice Mrs. Thaw has made in making such a story public. She has bared her shame at the hands of Stanford White to all the world In order to help free her husband. The man who can command devotion such as this from a woman surely has some good traits. The fact that Harry Thaw knew the story of his wife's downfall before he married her, and in spite of it did marry her shows a new side to his character. He saw In her not a fallen woman but a girl whose innocence and honor had been besmirched by a viliian when she was but sixteen years old. And the world is taking tho same view -as that of Evelyn Thaw's husband, adding respect, however, for her courage in revealing this sad chapter of her life on the witness stand. The effect upon Thaw or this story can well be imagined. He could never forget it. Always it would be knawing at his mind, and the utter devilishness of Stanford White in so wantonly destroying this young girl's life could not do otherwise than raise murderous thoughts. And if as Mrs. Thaw says Stanford White tried to get her to renew her relations with him after her marriage with Thaw, the knowledge of this fact alone would have been sufficient to drive Thaw to commit murder even as he did.

The stiff punishment meted out on Friday to the negro insulter of a white woman Is a good thing. It will put a check to the wholesale number of insults women have been subject to recently. The police have done well so far, but they will have done still better when they round up for punishment the white man who has also been terrorizing women after dark. Our streets must be as safe by night as by day for the women of Richmond.

Twice within the past two months has the price of gasoline been raised. So, likewise, has the price of oil advanced. We thought at first it must be on account of that generous ten per cent increase in wages. But we were wrong. The deadly truth has leaked out at last. It is because Coal Oil Johnny has given $32,000,000 more to tho glorious cause of higher education.

RETIREMENT OF THE BATTLE SCARRED POLITICIAN THE EXCUSE FOR MANY DINNERS AND RECEPTIONS.

f Publishers Pressl TTashington, D. C. Feb. 9. William lden Smith, the new senator from

Michigan, was sworn in this week. He

will fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Alger and will then take office in his own right. Mr. Smith succeeds Mr. Mulkey, the thirty-day senator from Oregon, as the senate "baby." Mr. Smith's christening establishes a new record in the matter of

senate babies, for there have been four admitted to the roll since September Dupoint, Curtis, Mulkey and Smith. The junior senator from Michigan has a committee chairmanship

awaiting him, for he Is to take charge

of the examination and disposition of useless senate documents.'

A terrorist, known as "LaGrippe,"

has forced "Uncle Joe" Cannon, czar

of the house, to abdicate. Speaker Cannon is the latest victim of the disease, which has laid hold of many of the statesmen in Washington. He has not attended the sessions of the

house for some days, and during his absence Representative Daizell is occupying the chair. "Uncle Joe" is chafing under the restraint laid upon him by his physician, who refuses to

allow his patient to leave the sick room. The speaker's condition, however, is reported to be not at all seri

ous, although his temper is said to be

decidedly frayed about the edges.

Senator Hale is becoming known as

the "Schoolmaster of the Senate," and he has advertised on two separate oc

casions now that he has a rod in

pickle for any unruly members who

may attempt to retard the passage of the appropriation bills by the introduc

tion of other measures and the delivery of long speeches. Last week,

Senator Hale referred sarcastically to

Senator Beveridge's Illuminating dis

cussion of child labor, and this week he paid his compliments in no uncertain terms to certain other members who contemplate extended dissertations on pet measures. Mr. Hale's warnings are given added weight for the reason that he is now taking active charge of the appropriation measures because of the physical disabilities under which Chairman Allison is laboring. In congress there Is noticeable a healthful tendency to ignore discus

sions of the aged, but nevertheless

The senate held a session this forenoon, while the house rested. The senate however, transacted little business, the only bill passing being that which Increases the salaries of every circuit court judge in Indiana to $3.500. Judge Fox would profit $1,000 per annum if this bill should pass tha house. It took two hours of oratory to push it through the senate this morning, however, some of the members opposing it on the ground that it was "useless extravagance." Senator Moore, who led the opposition, said that he had never yet heard of a county where the salary was so low that nobody would take the judgeship. AImoff- every lawyer in tho senate advocated the passage of the bill and made speeches for It. It passed by a vote of 34 to 9.

Uo You Like Honest, Square EDealing ? Dr. Pierce's world-farued medicines are put out under the belief that publicity is the best possible guaranty of merit, and that the most intelligent people generally want to know what they take into their stomachs, whether it be as food, drink or medicine. Although it was a bold step to take, and quite out of the usual practice of makers of proprietary medicines, j et Dr. Pierce, some time ago, decided to publish broadcast and on all his bottle-wrappers all the ingredients entering into the composition, or make-up, of his celebrated family medicines. A square deal is therefore assured every one using his medicines, for one knows exactly what he or she is paying for when purchasing them, since every ingredient is published in plain English on the bottle-wrappers and iht correctness of the same attested under solemn oath. These several ingredients are selected from among the very best known to medical science for the cure of the various diseases for which these medicines are recommended.

The most eminent and leading medical teachers and writers of all the several schools of practice have endorsed each of the ingredients entering into Ir. Pierce's medicines in the strongest possiblrterms. The makers of Dr. Pierce's medicines believeSlhat intelligent people do not Vish to opa their mouths like a lotof I young birl and gulp down whateveijnrtjseeto them, either in the way oituOT, mk or medicine, without knowing 6orn)uhing of the properties and harm lN character of the agents employed.

They are therefore, in a class all by themselves , being absolutely and in every sense non-tferrt.
