Chancellor Andrews of tho Nebraska

other day apropos of the chancellors
ill advised utterances in a speech down
east more than incidentally defending
such rich banditti as the Rockefeller
aggregation No rational American of
honest fair mind has aught against
honest honorably acquired wealth but
they have a controversy with the pred
atory multi millionaires or the billion
aires whose vast fortunes have been ac
quired by financial brigandage now
familiar to a school boy and that con-
rv
troversy
not
fait
to end until
conditions are bettored in this respect

sity and his able compatriot Chan
cellor Day of tho Syracuso university
to tho contrary notwithstanding Tho
warfare will not end as long as it is
possible for wealth to pile up added
riches by methods which send the pett
thief to jail and tho highwayman to tho
ponitontiary Let it bo understood
that no billioniare can screen himself
behind tho silly claim of genius or in
dustry upon industry from just criti
cism or from effort to make them amen
able to tho laws of the land

if not suicidal and tho sooner changed
to meet the insane high prices of today
tho better for the craft

Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture says that the unbounded
prosperity of the agriculturist is not duo
to chance but is the result of intelli
gent scientific business methods A
reader of The Weekly Inter Ocean has
placed before him each week the prac
tical and approved methods to which
Secretary Wilson refers It is a good
investment Only 125 for The Weekly
Inter Ocean and this paper one year
Most men who mingle with great
crowds or participate in an event of
many features are absolutely unable to
describe in detail any one particular
feature It is then that they find their
weekly newspaper most valuable Just
so it is with the readers of daily news
papers thoy have not tho time or the
inclination to follow every phase of tho
weeks events and so turn to a weekly
newspaper for a concise and connected
account of any event of more than local
interest This demand is easily sup
plied at small cost by The Weekly
Inter Ocean which can be obtained
