The Prince of Wealth
Reletee Hie Tale
Two things stood out prominently
In the examination of J. Plerpont
Morgan in the money trust Invest I
gatfon. First, the most hideous nose
ever inflicted on man. and secondly
the good humor hack of the man
who wore it for Morgan was a good
witness. When lie entered the hear
ing there was a feeling of deep pre
judice against him, but the atmos
phere of geniality in the great finan
cier's manner spread like contagion,
and a more friendly feeling crept
over the large gathering of specta
tors. Morgan was asked at one time
whether he was not one of the larg
est stockholders in a certain New
York bank, to which he replied that
he was "only a small stockholder. "
"Hut you have over a million dollars'
interest there?" "Oh, yes, over a
million," he replied, like one talking
about cigar money. The financial
king recited how he made the direc
torates of the country's greatest cor
porations, like that of the steel
trust, and his story disclosed many
practical lessons in high finance. He
asserted that he gave little attention
to t he affairs of the New York
banks, anil did not know who the di
rectors were of most of them. Mor
gan was positive a money trust was
impossible, yet the opinion of those
who heard his testimony was that
the control of such a large amount
ot the nation's money as to maki the
centralization dangerous, is vested in
a few closely knitted interests, Tie
money trust investigation promises
to eclipse all its predecessors in
point of popular interest, as one by
one the biggest financial giants o'
the 'nation will tell their story li
fore the committee. Morgan came
to tmvn with a retinue of attorneys,
incffiding lormcr AllilHMHMlilH JoOeph

Robbing the Oklahoma Indians
Representative liurke oft South
Dakota, tore the lid oir Ike Oklaho
ma method of handling dead Indians'
money. One-third of all the Indians
of the country arc in Oklahoma, and
each year special legislation is ask
ed' from congress for tke manage
neat of Indian affairs tkat do not
apply to the other states'. This year
the propositiou is to do away with
the special federal agents for Okla
homa Indians and to furthw cntrem Ii
stale control. In 190N a law was
passed which provided that the es
tates of decensed Indian should be
administrated by the local state
courts In the argument against fur
thcr authority being surrendered to
the local officials of Oklahoma. Mr.
Burke showed the operation of the
law of admlnistratlonof the eatates.
AS a part of the system of corrup
tion that has grown up Mr. Burke
showed that In 4. :!:!! cases no report
of the administration had ever been
filed. He showed thnt there existed
1,330 professional guardians In the
state. In the handling of estates ag
gre-gatlng f:i,X!i;.fi,s::.0K the expense
had been charged up and allowed at
l!..'! per cent In contrast he show
ed that in Oklahoma the percentage
of cost for administration of the es
tates of whites amounted to about
three per cent of the estate. In
many cases the expense of adminis
tration amounted to ninety per cent,
and then there was no evidence
that the remaining per cent was
never turned over. Mr. Hurke suited
that he had observed "that there has
been a. consistent effort to obtain
legislation to make' It easier to take
what the Indian has," nnd his con
elusion was that the removal of the
special agents of the government
from Oklahoma would be a step In
that direction. Hurke adds: "In my
opinion, in the probate courts in that
portion of Oklahoma where the Five
Civilized Tribes reside, some of the
Judges are 'corrupt and dishonest,
and a large number of thein are in
different." Some of the congress
men of Oklahoma, notably Mr. Car
ter, attempted to defend the system
that has grown up In the handling
of estates in that state.
Warships the Antitoxin of Strife
setts' declared that the "Hoston tea
party" originated In a saloon, and
he believes that the men who
threw King George's tea Into Hoston
Harbor had a Jag on. Whenever
Hostonlnns fall to agree American
history stands a chance to be set
straight.

Of labor, hut by all Intelligent, well

In the public welfare. In ibis elec

mand for a clear brain and a steady
hand. The president of the Denver
Chamber of Commerce well says
that "whatever stands In the way of

fic Is bOCOOatpi more and more an
economic question', and he calls at
tetftlOn to the commcri ial waste it
causes, nuoiing as proof a statement
made by Mr. Arthur liurrage Par-
well of Chicago.
Such an official stateim nf should
rive long and serious thougiliis to all
xisiniss men, and to all who claim
tart the prosjH'rity of town, atari,
or nalon is dependent upon revenue
from tiie liquor trade. It should al
so impress those who complain of
the high cost of living. It should re
mind them that the liquor traffic

ate. It detra.ts from the prosper

lives upon the earnings of Cher
trades. It creates want, waste and

of nine thou; and licensed saloons,
and they yield an enormous revenue
to the city trea-sjry. At the begin

Mapy of us who have long been

the house of shame Mould soon be
i v nic a thing of the past, fur the in-
inntew are girls and women who
have been captured throiagh strong

whose higher and nobler aenelbilltlee
are deadened by alcoholic poison, so
that they are forgetful of mother,
wife, slater or daughter. Our state
ments to thha effect, were onre con
sidered fanatical, but how la It to-lav"
"The W. C. T. U. has been mmy.
ing for many years that Impurity
and Intemperance are twin evils, end
thai a blow aimed at one falls with
equal force upoit the other. It la
unmlstaknhly evident that an arous
ed and enlightened Interest In the
white stave trade has enabled many
for the flrat time to see the heln
ousness of the liquor trade, and to
reallxe that thoee who believe in
the annihilation or the white elare
traffic and the abolishment of the
house of shame by the same token
adv.., aie the destruction of the li
quor traffic."
"We might produce reams of tes
timony and of opinions in favor of
woman's ballot, from statesmen, ,. I
ticators, philanthropists and reform
ers, hut it is a significant fart thnt
the great liquor trust are ev- r
and unalterably opposed to woman's
ballot, and In all the suffrage cam

greatest foes. Wherever the ques

men as those who in New York an I
eb-ewhere are working to secure tho
ballot for women, are, as a rule.
commanding respectful attention. I
will not venture to say that the wo
men of Ureat llritain are injuring
their ause by their militant pro
ceedlngs. They know all about the
t iitiis of their ancestors when
lone met rone and the reformers
won; but I sincerely trust that Hi
niffrage workers In America may
never reel the necessity or employ
ing similar warlike methods. The
president of the World's Woman'
hilstian Temperance Union, a truo
I rltlsher, and hr associate whito
riiiboners, are ardent believers in
voles for women, but, so far as I
Rtn informed, they have taken no
part In the property-destroying tac
tics of the Knglitih suffragettes."

reveals that only one party recognlz-
