These great so-called charitable or benevolent foundations have aggregate resources of over one billion dollars. " Among the great oiYcs are those founded by "Rockefel ler, Carnegie, Yauderbilt and Russell Sage. Thu support of these foundations comes from the income Wf bonds and stocks of different industries, and this means, of course, from the profit on the labor employed. Mr. "Walsh learned lhat these great foundations, like the railroads, have an interlocking directorate, all being controlled bv the same men and all traceable to the place of business of our commercial lords Wall street. Go to Rockefeller, thou fool, and learn wisdom! Think of one billion dollars invested in philanthropy and the influence it can exert in corrupting and influenc ing public opinion 1 This is the most insiduous, damnable influence that man can use, because it takes advantage of human suffering and preys upon one of the noblest of human traits gratitude. If there is one svstem which more than another is cal culated to debase, destrov and efface human aspiration and intellectual libortv, it is that which seeks control of the intellectual and spiritual part of man through tho needs or the sufferings of thfc physical man. It is the voice that says, ''Because I fed you when you were hungry or gave you drink when you wcro thirsty, your mind, your soul, you must give into my keeping and your body to my service." And it is innncasureably in famous because such an influence would blight the" gen eration growing and to come. Therein lies the reason that enabled a few noble minds to prevent the granting of a federal charter to Mr. Rocke feller's foundation. They realized tliat the granting of such a charter meant the stamp of government approval. They realized the enormous power it would exert, and that it could be nscd to decide the destiny of the nation. If it was found useful in maintaining the status quo, the billion assets could iu two or three generations be increased to five billions. q Mr. "Walsh lias made. another discovery. He hasf ound that the employing power of the United' States is almost entirely invested in New York City and is almost entirely subject to the will of Rockefeller. Plutocracy controls the nation because it controls the industries that give the peo ple work and also controls the charity the people must depend upon when they are not permitted to work. "Whether the laborer lives by toil or begging depends upon one man and his associates. The- wage he receives and the crust he bees must come from the same source. If he wishes to escape this dependence he must flee the con tinent. This' economic condition is the result of legislation for Jialf a qqn.tury that had no other basis than a purely commercial one. It is the product of party statesmen thatj had no ideal other than party success acquired through million dollar campaign funds given as the price of ex plditing the masses, through protective tariffs and exor bitant transportation charges. And yet tnerc arc those who pray for a return to those conditions that enabled the financiers of Wall street to gain their despotic control of the lives of the American people. Those who ask the restoration of the good old times of robberv and plunder do so on the theory that if the people .can be skinned some more, they may yet get their piece ot hide. MRS.

"We scatter f)00,(XM), city dwellers over an area that abroad would house 5,000,000, and the realty speculator waxes fat. Good thing! Spread them out morel -And one of the chief advantages this added area gives sjthat at our sev eral back doors we liave the opportunity to grow the greater part of our living. The average American city has enough idle and vacant property in it to feed its population. A city lot, say 50 by 100 feet, will, if properly gardened, not only supply the average family with vegetables for the spring and summer; but with enough surplus to can for the winter time. An idle block, if properly cropped and fertilized, and cared for, will raise 400 bushels of potatoes; that means $200; it means thousands of meals, and ' how many idle blocks are there in Mcdford? The owner of idle property should be Christian enough to be willing to have his property farmed; potatoes and corn and peas and beans are better than thistle and dock and sunflower and briar. But if ho is a grouch and a turnip heart and a manger dog then the city should demand that ho either make some use of hjs. property or allow those who will use it to do so. Instead of an anti-weed ordinance, let's havo a potato and pea and bean ordinance. And tho biggest, best part of it all is that the hour you spend beloro breakfast aim the hour 3'ou spend in the twi light in your garden, and that's all you need spend, will bring you health and peace and independence of spirit. If you haven't started, it's a good time now to get out your hoc and be happy! THE CoIlegeWidow Dy Ocorgo Ado PGETHEAXER Tuesday,.
