The pro- BETTER. THAN RICHES In his address at tho opening of tin; 152nd year at Columbia rol.epe, President Nicholas Murray Hutler laid special FtrcFS upon the Investigation that Is being made Into the affairs of the three big life Insurance companies. He nnld the American people are receiving some painful lessons In practical ethics. They are, he declared, having brought home to them the distinction between character ' and reputation. The men who for years stood most prominently be fore the public as the leaders In the Insurance world and commanded the respect of practically a.l men because of their seeming Integrity, uprightness of character, their probity and their honor, have quickly fallen from that high estate and all of their riches cannot compensate them for the fall. Like a white-hot brand Is the seal of public condem nation on the man who has commanded the respect of his fellows. To the Insensate criminal, bearing on his gloomy ; brow the indellible stamp of despair, only prison wads possess the element of terror. But to the normal, Intelligent, self-respecting man the respect or his fellows is as necessary m water to the soil, as slunshine to the growing crop. The whispering tongues of envy, the poisonous shafts of malice, and all of the Unged thoughts that perjurers can utter leave no lasting trace on the soul of the upright man. He has lived his life like an open book that all may read. When through lack of moral principle men who have risen above their fellows lose the public respect and es teem which they commanded before their guilty acts were heralded to the four winds, there Is no compensa tion for them In the long category of knavery. Marble palaces offer a cheerless retreat for a mind tortured by the lash of pub.ic obloquy. In the final analysis the man whose career Is based upon the question, Is It legal? carries in his heart that swift poison which blinds the vision and stunts the soul and makes him a pariah in the marts of the world. De tection may not deter, though it may finally destroy. The Bible tells us a good name Is rather to be chosen than great riches. Might it not be a good Idea to distri bute a few Hiblos, with marked passages', among the in surance men? TRIBUTE. TO PRESS James Parton said: "The newspaper press is the people's university. Haif the readers In Christendom read little else." Thomas Jefferson said: "The basis of our govern ment being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers 'without a government, 1 should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." Cardinal GibboftH recently said: "The dread of ex posure in the public press keeps many a man sticking close to the path of rectitude who otherwise would stray off into the byways of graft. The bright 'spot is the fact that degradation is made known. Corruption cannot exist nowadays without being discovered after a whiie. The greater the evil, the greater the possibility of remedy. And that possibility of remedy has now become Buch an assured fact that it counterbalances, almost, the evil which the present condition of money madness creates." But the truest of all sayings on this subject Is attri buted to William Cullen Bryant: "The press Is good or evil, according to the character of those who direct it. It Is a mill that grinds all that is put into its hopper. Fill the hopper with poisoned grain, and It will grind It to meal, but there is death in the bread." Where personal gain Is the sole object of publication; where depraved intellectual and moral tastes are still further vitiated by continual pandering; where truth, honor and Justice are recklessly sacrificed for temporary success; where evil doing is condoned in the party sup ported and i condemned only in the party opposed; where money is made acceptable by precept and example, regardless of the tainted channels through which it may come where any or all of these evil pur poses and practices, together with others that might be mentioned, preside at the fountain head of the publica tion and are exhibited in Its successive issues, then such member of the press is a contageous putrifaction and a curse to its community. A tSILrlvY STORY ' A correspondent of the El Paso Times from Alamo gordo says that a move is on foot by the friends of joint statehood "to have a slice of Texas cut off, the El Paso end, and added to the new state to be made of New Mex ico and Arizona. This gentleman claims that by such El Paso would be the capital, and because of its geographical location both New Mexico and Arizona would readily com promise the jointure question and in this way one of the greatest stated In the Union would come Into existence. Our informant states that the question has been quietly but intelligently agitating the minds of Joint statehood ad vocates for some time, and that the matter will come up at the proper time." The friends of jointure are men of intelligence. .They know that not an inch of Texas territory can be taken from that state without its consent, and that Texas would not surrender a foot of her domain for all the "greater Arizonas" which could be placed between El Paso and the North Pole. If any such talk as that Indicated has been whispered about, it doubtless has been by the "antis" desirous of prejudicing Texas congressmen and senators against joint statehood. Some luxuries this life affords Which few can understand; His gold one person fiercely hoards, Another seeks command. Hut he who most, since earth began. Has been beneath the sway Of one Idea, Is the man Who wants to have his say. He gives small thought to raiment fine, Nor asks where be shad sleep, For Providence, he doth opine, A special watch should keep O'er him.' He hurries forth to speak, Or writes both night and day, No other pleasure does he seek He wants to have his say. Perchance the hearth is dark and still. Perchance his coat is thin; Perchance the. larder fares but iil. And coal forsakes the bin He still will scorn the marts where gain Directs the toller's way. He smiles at hunger and at pain For he must have his say. And if mankind should hear the word, With feeling sointense That earth to tumult would be stirred. And deeds of violence. He'll sit upon some burnt out pyre, And sigh without dismay "It Isn't quite what I desire, But I have had my say!" WILLFUL, PERSISTENT AND PROTRACTED EFEORT TO STEAL From San Francisco Chronicle III m-wr-- V f " llg'TTl'f j ynrj-M,-,: W,Mtt&4':' rjZ&UTSj DERBY W i'' iky Matt qJ&mxl, Alpine The Southern Pacific company Is again at its old tricks of grabbing the state lands along the Oakland wat er front.. The first grab made by the corporation on the western water front of the city was successfully carried out by the construction of the broad gauge mole, over twenty years ago. It was followed later by the construc tion of the narrow gauge mbole, on the south side of the south training wall at the entrance to Oakland harbor. While the public was then conscious that state lands were being stolen in both cases, no complaint was made against either, because each of these moles abolished pile trestling and incrwased the safety of transbay travel. Em boldened by these successes, the corporation attempted thirteen years ago, by driving a line of piles along the harbor line, to inclose the area lying between the north training wall of the harbor entrance and the broad gauge mole, embracing over 380 acres of ntate lands lying out side the ordinary low-tide line, which has been decided by the supreme court to be the outward boundary of the Oakland Water Front company's property. Governor Pardee, then mayor of Oakland, prevented that grab by employing a contractor to draw the piles under the cover of the guns of a special posse. A few years ago another attempt was made to gain possession of the Bame land by running a bulkhead northward from the north training wall to the end of the broad guage mole, with the view of filling the tract behind it with dredgings from the bay That was stopped by the order of the United States en gineers. The bulkhead has, however, been allowed to re. main, and the Southern Pacific company Is now narrow Ing the gap by broadening the western end If the broad gauge mole. It wiss soon be a simple operation to close the gap and absorb the whole area of state property A minor absorption of state lands is also being carried out by the same corporation on the south shore of the estu ary, in the neighborhood of the drawbridges. While this is going on the state is taking no steps to protect its rights in the land. When it wakes up it will probably find the railroad company in possession of prop erty worth millions of dollars, from which it may be Im possible to oust it. The state should safeguard Its inter ests, eltheiby creating an Oakland harbor commission which will protect its rights on the eastern shore, or ex tend the Jurisdiction of the San Francisco harbor commis sion across the bay for the defense of its property against the land grabber, or force the company to recognize the state's ownership by paying a fair rental for the land.

The one most potent obstacle to single statehood for Arizona is the fact, of the Mormon hierarchy dominating the democratic party which is in the majority in Arizona when in alliance with the Mormons and the like objection able fact that the Mormons by turning over to the repub lican party can place that party iu power. Thus it wi.l be seen that the Mormons are the dominating political element iu Arizona. There is no escaping this fact. Do the people of Arizona wish to be governed by the Mor mons? This is the one sirong objection many people have to single statehood. It is one of the strong objections congress bus to single statehood for Aii.onu. Tucson Star. ' Years ago Herbert Spencer, one of the greatest ot English thinkers, put his fiuger on the weakest spot iu our educational system lack of character building. Pro testing against mere Intellectual education lie said "you cannot et golden conduct from leaden instincts." Our leading school men at the recent meeting of the National Education association backed up Spencer's criticism when iu a series of resolutions be depiored the lack of moral teaching in our schools. They have realized that culture of the head to the exclusion of heart culture Is vain. HiKht feeling is more necessary than right Judg ment. Confounding morality wilh sectarianism, the right ful rejection of the latter from the public school curricu lum has resulted in the banefui neglect of the former.

SOME STORIES WISE AND SOME OTHERWISE it art Talent v. Facet. "It may surprise those familiar with the ways of managers," says Hartley Davis, in bis discussion of "The Players" in Everybody's Magazine for October, "to know that they are extremely particular about the personal ap pearance and characteristics of the players. Applicants whose persona.lty is unknown to a manager are required to set forth their weight, height, coloring, and other de tails, which are .badly entered in a book kept for that pur pose. It often happens that an individual's physical characlerlstlces go a long way toward making him score a part. It was not Raymond Chase's previous experience, although he has had a fair amount ot it, that gained his opportunity to play 'Hub' Hicks, the freshman, in 'The College Widow," but the fact that he looked as if he might be Hub.1 " He Had a Grievance. "It's an outrage," said the man, who, as he talked, hammered bis left hand with his right list. "A down right public outrage. That's what it Is!" "What are you talking about?" asked the auditor, who had Just woke up. "This time and trouble and expense to which the government is go to to propogate young lobsters." "Hut unless something is done, the lobster will be come extinct." "Wed, the lobster ain't a national necessity is it? And 1 fail lo see why we taxpayers should put our bauds into our puck'ts to minister to the avarice of restaurant keepers and the luxurious appetites of chorus young wo men." Washington Star.
