The "Tainted Money"
Issue.
By Dr. fArtemas Jean Hay.tes.
'_ JESUS were here in the world today the few who have
made themselves strong out of the many, those who have
have robbed the poor by trading upon public privileges for
private gain, who have bought and sold lawmakers and those
set to administer laws, who have openly defied every state
and federal authority and prostituted those institutions on
which free government rests-those men, if Jesus were here
in the world, would find a great gulf fixed between themselves and the Christ;
they would find it utterly impossible to get into any sort of alliance with Him
tUitil they had become penitent.
But what evidence have you that Mr. Rockefeller would fall into this class
of the few concerning whom you have spoken? may be. asked. May you not
be doing him great injustice? Did not our Lord say, "Judge not," and have
you, a Christian minister, any right openly to violate that command? Let me
answer by saying, "Yes, our Lord did say judge not," but Ho also said "By their
fruits ye shall know them."
The fruit of this man's life and work is in ten thousand homes today, and
it is exceedingly bitter to the taste. No legal judgment, men say, has been
passed upon him, therefore you should wait. But what are we to wait for?
What are juries and judges and courts and legislatures to this man? They
are but the playthings of an idle hour. More than a dozen state legislatures
anld the federal government itself are today investigating charges against the
company of which he is the head. What will it all amount to? Nothing, until
the people speak.
The courts can be bought, but the American people cannot be bought,
The legislatures can be bought, the churches can be bought, but the American
people cannot be bought. The plain people are used to giving blunt names to
things, and they call this man a robber.
Great heavehld is there nothing certain in this world until some court of
law has passed upon it? I have not the lawyer's mind, but I do have the in
telligence of the average man, and for seven years since I read Mr. Lloyd's
"Wealth and Commonwealth" to the tifie of closing Miss Tarbell's:vivid story, I
have studied this man's company and its methods. If this man has not per'
jured himself no man ever did; if this man has not robbed the people, no man
ever did; if this man, through the company which he dominates, has not brok
en the laws no man ever did.
It would almost seem that Provid2nce had arranged this offer of $100,000
In order to give the Congregational church an opportunity to take the high
moral ground which would enable it to speak with authority the message that
this age requires. No other such opportunity has ever come to us as a church.
Above all other men in our American nation this man is despised. His
membership in the Ch-rist an church and his alliance with religious organiza
tions have done more than any other single influence to alienate the working
man from the church. Gcd has given us our chance to strike, and to strike
in the place where the blow will cut the deepest. What is the extension of
our educational work when measured against the opportunity of speaking the
fine, clear word that might have been spoken?
How shall we answer such a blunt old proverb as this? The answer is as
bad as a thief. We cannot answer it.
Th e Right of Suffrage, t
+and Domesticity
By Charlotte Perkins Gilman. ,r+
t*IH !.+++.+ T SEEMS to me that the honest objection of most people to
woman suffrage is that it would not be good for the world
it would not be good for the race, It would not be good for
mothers.
We know that in all nations the level of civilization it
always on a plane with the level of womanhood, that no
matter how intelligent and free and strong American men
. .+.I.p are if they had Hottentot wives or Turkish wives they
would not have as fine children. The development of the
woman is necessary to the birth of strong brains.
America today is going forward to a world position such as no nation has
ever had, and we need bigger brains. We need the power to see things as a
whole, to get the entire drift of affairs. Everywhere in government people fail
for lack of breadth of mind, the power to balance all the considerations, to see
far ahead and all around. We shall need it mope and more as our range of
p-awer increases.
At present half of our citizens, the mothers of the country, the people who
do more to build brains than anybody else, occupy their minds all their lives
hong with small private affairs. They do not spend time thinking and caring
about large private affairs, They do not participate in matters of public in.
tere.t, and they can neither bear nor rear as broadminded, as public-spirited,
as able children as if they were abler themselves. It takes strong, wise, able
wolmen to make strong, wise, able men.
Now, if women have the right of suffrage and think aboul
public affairs, feel the responsibility of them, give their minds to
thyeip, turn their consciences on them, it will give us a breed of people better
able to take the large pace of which I have spoken, having the larger honesty,
not the small man to man honesty, but the public honesty that is so bitterly
meaded everywhere, and for the lack of wihich Russia is going to pieces.
I believe that will come to the human race much sooner than otherwise by
eflowing the women to share the responsibility of government, to *exercise
their minds and their consciences on the duties they owe to their cities, to the
states, to the country and to the whole world.
The right of suffrage does not interfere with wifehood or motherhood or
Jomesticity. That is proved by the experience in the states that have it.
We, as a nation, are standing where if we, as people, as individuals, can
rise to the demands of our time we can make a bigger place in history than
has ever before been attained-a wiser and stronger and nobler power than
the world has ever known. But you cannot do that with little people-you
maust have big men and big women.
Chief Obstacle to
Philippine Progress
By James AG. Le SRoy.
HE chief obstacle to social and political progr'ess in the Phi
ippine islands is "caciquism," the term by which "bossism
in the United States, is, however, not an accurate transl;
tion of the Philippine word. A "cacique; in those islands '
a combination of our political "boss," the schoolmaster 1
Goldsmith's "Deserted Village," the old Virginia landlor,
and the leader in a local "four hundred," or the husband c
such. One may glean indications of the existence of such
jamily, or of a few such families, in the life of quiet rural villages of New En
land in faoner times. But the picture one may imagine of such rural "bos
ism" will not quite fit the Philippine conditions. One must introduce sonm
thing of the color of "the south before the war," even partially to realize i
Imagine a rural community, secure in the political dominion of one "selec
man," or of one or two families of "selectmen," and at the social wink and n<
of the unofficial "manor house;" but picture that sort of leaders'hip set up in
community where only two, four or twelve families out of a population of t<
thousand or more live in stone houses with wood floors, and the rest in cal
shacks; dependent on those above them for employment, or a piece of land
till, or the money advances inevitably needed each year to till it; finally, tran
