RABBI COHN HOME FROM EAST
Jewish Minister Discusses Worst of

Rabbi Frederick Conn of Temple Israel
returned yesterday from a four week's
visit In the east, a part of which he spent
at Buffalo as an offlolai delegate to the
national conference of Charities and Cor
rection, June I to 11 He was so muoh
Impressed by th work of. the confer
ence that he will make it the subject of at
least one of his lectures later in th sea
son. "It was an inspiring gathering," says
Rabbi Cohn In speaking of th confer
ence. "Immigration proved to be me
chief subject and most popular subeonfer
enoe of the meetings. .. Miss Jan Addanv,
who presided over that department, made
her work overshadow everything else. She
was subsequently chosen president of the
national conference for the oomlng year."
The immigration work was what Inter
ested Rabbi Cohn th most, and tils prom
ised talk will apply chiefly to that line
of work.
While in the east, he spent two and a
half weeks visiting his parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Cohn, at his old home, Provi

OMAHA, July L To the Editor of Ths
Bee: The traveling man who signs him
Belf E. O. H. In your letter box contribu
tion of yesterday has his views ot what
constitutes a demagogue and a few oiher
persona have theirs. He complains of the
long-haired, dlrty-looklng man who stands
on the street corner and in an harangue
to the people attempts to tear down "all
the accepted Ideas of Christianity."
Let us reflect. Jesus was long-haired and
often unkempt and a man without educa
tion. He assailed wrong wherever He saw
it and that was In the ministry, the
churches and persons In high places. He
slept where he could, duubtleKs in alleys
at times, for He said of Himueif, be It re
membered: "The son of mun hath not
where to lay his heal.'' His followers
were men and women ot the people, His
closest associates were of the humblest
kind and, of course, uneducated. Of Him
there were trose who made complaints,
who asked to have Him removed from the
corners and cast into prison.
May one not speak of abuses in clerical
life? It would be most uncharitable to
point out the culprits, to be sure, because
they have paid or will pay for their mis
deeds, and then there are their kindred to
think of, to spars a much as possible.
But broadly to state that some of the most
atrocious crimes on the calendar of the
past two years have been committed by
wearers- of the cloth can meet with no ex
ception from the fair-minded. l'erhaps
some of them were led to their misdeeds
through assimilating the "vile" and
"coarse" things that they found within the
covers of the Bible.
As for the second speaker, the one on
ecur.onilcs, why nut? Suppose that ills
Ideas are a mixture of wheat and chaff,
the discerning may sift them to their own
liking. These men havsn t the means to
hire a hall In whl :'i o air their views as
. O..U. suGuests. But why sjiould they?
We have many hot-air orators on the
Chautauqua platforms, just fliin-flammers

In Miss Shirley's letter on educationa.
affairs graft is given the prominence it
deserves, for the usly thing permeates the

but speak out and up In , meeting. Miss
Shirley's bravery Is a - thing ot beauty.

DISMISS OLD CRIMINAL CASES
FROM FEDERAL COURT DOCKET
W. H. Mason, Unas Lambert and
Joel Z. Teeter Among Others
Freed from Entanglement.
There has been a general overhauling of
the criminal docket of th United States
district court and a number of obsolete
cases have been dismissed.
One of the Interesting cases Is that
against W. H. Mason, who was indloted
In May, 190J, for "giving a show and en
tertainment for money without first having
paid the special government tax therefor."
Mason gave a cash bond of $i0 for his ap
pearance before the district court, but
later forfeited It by non-appearano. The
show tax was a special tax levied by the
government during the Spanish-American
war against . shows or entertainments
for money. The law was finally repealed
In July, 1S02.
Among the other cases was that against
Logan Lambert of Pender tor retailing
liquor without procuring the special tax
required by the government. He was In
dicted In May, liw6, found guilty In July
of that year and sentenced to one year and
a day In the penitentiary. Sentence was
suspended, and now th case is stricken
from the docket entirely.
Other oases dismissed ara those against
Solomon Odell for selling liquor without
paying the government tax. The jury dM
acretd in his case in December, 108. Joel Z.
Teeter, Indicted for a similar offense In
l)t, the case never coming to trial. Dis
missals are ordered for similar offenses
against John GUstrap, indioted in 190G, and
Ell Warner, indicted In 1W)L

And it's because the clothes they buy

No matter how particular you may be

WHO OWNS OUR VAST WEALTH?
Corporation Stock and Bond Dis
tributed Among Two Million
Persona.
Tha railroads of th United States are
not entirely owned by the Harrimans,
Vanderbllts, Morgans, Hills, Goulds and
the other magnates with which their names
are popularly associated. Approximately
the Pennsylvania road at this moment has
60,600 stockholders, the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe has 25,000 and th New Tork
Central has 23,000. The roads are owned
by the 1,500,000 or more persons who hold
their stocks and bonds, who are scattered
all over th country and who comprise
all sorts and conditions of men and women.
So it Is with the steel trust, or, to give
it its official name, the United States Steol
corporation. Gary, Perkins, Frlck and
others are among Its officials, but th
100,000 persons, residing in every state and
territory, who own that combination's
stocks and bonds, have a voice In the ap
pointment of those offlolals and are de
cidedly interested In th company's for
tunes. Th Standard OH ha over 7,034
owners' or partners whatever you may call
Its stockholders.
It la the same In th case of th mines,
steamboats, street car systems and the
rest of th great Interests of th coun
try. Each ot these activities stands for
a sum of money whloh bulks large In the
aggregate. When divided among their
hundreds, their thousands, or their hun
dreds of thousands of shareholders, the
sums which they represent to their Indi
vidual owners are seen to b in moat cases
quit moderate. Soma ot th persons hold
a large number ot shares larger than
dosens or hundreds ot others in th aggre
gate but the great bulk of them are very
far from being plutocrats. Moreover, th
bonds of all thes Interests are also dis
tributed among a large number of persons.
Many thousands of owners ot stocks and
bonds are women.
Many millions of dollars of bonds and
stocks are held In trust for women and
children. The number so held and the
number held In small sums by Individuals
are constantly and rapidly Increasing. This
is especially true at th present time.
Speculation Is relatively dull. Th opera
tions on th great exchanges are small
compared with those of recent times. This

shows that a far larger number of the
stocks hav been bought outright and are
held as investments than was th case
In any previous time. More than a third
of th 100,000 persons who hold stooks of
the United State Steel Corporation are
employes ot th many score of mills and
mines whloh are represented In that com
bination. In the approximately 7,000 na
tional banks, with a capital of 11,000,000,-
000, ther ar about 400,000 stockholders, a
fourth of whom ar women. Tet, accord
ing to the popular view, the national banks
ar owned by their officers and directors.
Th 2,000,000 stockholders of the various
corporations of the United States were
only about 1,000,000 ten years ago. They
are likely to be 4,000,000 ten years hanoa.
