Senator Dolliver, republican, rep resents in part .1 state which never voted for a democratic presidential candidate lie is a stawlart partisan whose loyalty to the organization is no more in question west of the Mississippi than is that of Senator Aldrich on the shores of Narragan sett Hay.

His wealth is \ar· iottsly stated at from fifty to one hundred million dollars let us av erage it at seventy-five millions.

This is an enormous in come. and if honestly earned, it measures an extraordinary service to society Will the friends of Mr. Rogers point out just what he did, so that the public may judge as to whether his income exceeded his earnings?

The average income of Mr. Kogers for more than fifty years lias been twenty times as great as the income enjoyed l>y the president of the Uni ted Slates. Did he perform a work twenty times as important, or render a service twenty times as valuable'.'. Opinions differ as to Mr. Rogers' ! idea Is. H is friends emphasize '.lis char ities while his opponents call atten tion to his business methods. The opinions expressed seemed to be | largely colored by the sympathies of those who have spoken—those who speak from the standpoint of the monopolist see in him a great representative of industry; those who regard a private monopoly as indefensible and intolerable cite him as an illustration of the manner In which habitual wrong-doing will sear the conscience and distort the vision. Amid such a variety of wit nesses it is not strange that the readers should be confused by the .conflicting testimony, but there is one witness whose evidence ought to bp accepted without question, and that is H. H. Rogers himself. His will doubtless revealed the Inner I Rogers, and gives us the real meas ure of his soul. He leaves practically all of his immense wealth to ...his ; family. He makes a gift to the town of his birth, but beyond that there is nothing, or next to nothing, to in dicate that he recognized the claims of the public. His sympathies did not go out to hospitals and institutions I of mercy; his spiritual life was not such as to link him with the fhter ests of the church in the spread of (lie gospel or in uie e.xieusiuu ni missions, domestic or foreign. He seemed to be little interested in phil anthropie enterprises. But possibly it is just as well that his selfishness manifested itself in the disposition of his goods. If he had been generous and large hearted in his bequests, his will would have been used to give a hallway justifi cation to the methods which he em ployed in the accumulation of his money; but as it is his will pre sets an indictment not only against hitu„ lint against that peculiar type of business life which he represent ed a life in which the soul is shriveled and the better impulsés stifled by business practices which deaden the conscience and rob life of that which makes it. worth living.

Thomas A Edison sent word to the newspapers today that he had completed his cheme for building a concrete house for $1200. which, if constructed of stone in the same de sign, would cost between $-3,000 and $:!0,000. The price he names could not pre vail if only a single house was to be built. That he wants to be under stood clearly. What he means is that if ihe reinforced concrete houses were built in blocks, by his design and through the use of his molds, the cost of each house in a block would not be greater than about $1,200. The Edisou house building plan calls for a one family house, on a lot 40x60 feet. Tile floor plan of the house is 25x30 feet. Each house will contain six rooms and a bath, and the cellar will extend beneath the entire house and will contain the boiler, washtubs and coal bunker. The decorations will be cast with the house and therefore will come from the molds as part of the struc ture and not merely be stuck on. Cast iron molds will be used in building the houses and they will vary in design. After the concrete foundation has been laid and has hardened the molds will be set upon it. Edison says it will take four days to set up the molds. The liquid concrete can be poured into them in six hours. The molds will be kept in use for four days until the con crete hardens and then it will re quire four days to remove them. That means the house will be finish ed in a fortnight.—Kansa City Star.
