OH IO , FRIDAY, JUNE §0, 1905. PRICE $1.00 A YEAR, “BACKTO THE M INGS ,” James B, Dill, the New York .. Corporation Lawyer, Delivered a Noteworthy Address to the Oberlin Clas Oberlin, Ohio, Jpne 28, 1905, n- ' JameutB. Dill, the corporation law­ yer drtNew York, in the course of a note-worthy address to .the gradua­ ting class of Oberlin College to-day, delivered a scathing rebuke tp men ' who misuse posItiOLB Of honor and trust for purposes of personal gain. ' In urging bis hearers to go “Back to the Beginnings,” Mr. Dill conten­ ds th a t “grafting” which was foreign to the.true American character, had b pen developed by onr mad rush for wealth and the recognition of false standards by educated, men in the compeditive struggle for business power and social prominence. .Without mentioning names, Mr. Dill referred Specifically to the Equitable disclosures and the con­ nection of respectable financial in­ stitutions with industrial promo­ tions that are calculated to deceive the public. • He said: “A large part of our modern prosperity consists of an over production of fraud and sham. The crisis is acute. A feeling of distrust is growing throughout the country. Many branches of finan­ cial business have been in one way or another taken possession of by the unscrupulous for the purpose of. deceiving the unwary. Trust com­ panies have been made the mediums of the flotation of specious and fraud­ ulent promotions. “ Some life insurance companies, the highest and what should be the most sacred form of investment, are, as we all knownow, conduits through which the savingsot the policy-hold­ ers are steered into operations for speculative purposes. “Credit and good faith, not mon­ ey, are the basis of business. Good or had, our modern prosperity is founded on public confidence. Take th a t away and the whole fabric falls. “Tne fact is tha t the unpreceqent- ed material growth of the country, the resulting creation of .immense private fortunes, the bringing to­ gether of great aggregations of cor­ porate capital, industrial combina­ tions and railroad mergers, all have tended to center the attention of the people'upon great financial deeds and to rank men accordingly, caus­ ing the people to forget elementary virtues of private individual life.” Continuing, JVTr, Dili said tha t the desire to secure unearned wealth was sidetracking educated men and women from their real careers, say-, ing that the essential, element of “graft” was a breach of trust. Mr. Dill added: “Graft is the ad- eaned money. I t is not only the de­ sire to get something for nothing, but It Is an attempt to get something for the grafter in consideration of his parting with ■something that does not belong to him. I t 1 b a wrong greater than th a t of the coun­ terfeiter, who merely makes and passes counterfeltcoln. The grafter is a man who robs the counterfeiter, who made the coin; the grafter then passes the spurious coin to the pub­ lic as genuine. “Another graft is th a t of the hank official, who is influenced in the use of his. institution's funds by any reason other than the- good of the institution. Such a man Is danger­ ous to the community. Hisposition is so high and ids form of graft so insidious that Its existence ofthnes is not suspected until the explof&m resulting from ids grafting has in­ jured the community and made the man and Ills practices notorious;but too late. “The director of a corporation who directs the affairs of a company from the viewpoint of his own pock­ et rather than from the stock-hold­ ers interest, although ho may not he indicted by aGrfthd Jitry, Is hone the less; a social highwayman.” As to the much-talked-of “ dum­ my directors,” Mr. Dill B a ld ; “The dummy director of a great company who dummyizes himself for pay, whether by the year or by the job; who uses his position to control the use ami disposition of other people's money for personal gain, is in no position to criticise the clerk who falsifies Ids accounts, or the employ­ ee who embezzles. Yet wo .all know of instances where men who have stolen a million have sent, to jail employees who took only hun­ dreds or thousands of dollars. “ Now whose fault la this? I t is ,ourfl. i t is i he fault of public opin­ ion Is our opinion, yours and mine • yours of me, mine ot you, ohm of all tin* rest. We have to learn to rec­ ognize graft and the grafter, and to to punish them, not alone by im­ prisonment and fiqe, bu t with all the might of the terrible scorn of society. We have to recognize that the seeds of socialism, anarchy and revolution ire sown by the man of ou r own classand kind who pretends to he what ,lio Is not; these seeds are cultivated by the hank and in­ surance officer, by the man In pow­ er in financial organizations, in short, by auy grafter who in his dealings with the public departs openly or secretly from old-fashion­ ed Ten-Commandment honesty.^ “Many men of education, of pow­ er, financial and political, -seem to develop a two-faced conscience, one for business use and another for the individual life. This is a fraud.” In closing,' Mr. Dill reiterated his belief in the ^thorough-going honesty of the common people and declared himself an optimist on the outlook: “Don’t chase the easy dollar. Money is good,. hut money will come if you do your work well, Give the world full value, and the world will prize and pay you for the character your honest efforts will have developed. And even th e . bad world appreciates character. Did you not notice how a few weeks ago one of the great financial institutions, pnder charges of financial graft, searched the-country to find a nat­ ional reputation and of shining pur­ ity of character? , “That I -may not in any wise he misunderstood I say- to you again th a t this indictment of onr business life is not based upon an inherent, incurable defect in.'our American characteiybut, on the contrary, these evils are an outgrowth of our American stremiosity in the riotous race for the easy dollar and the many dollars. I wish to distinctly avoid. leaving the impression' upon your minds tha t an unduly large proportion of the American people are of the class which I have-sought to call to account. Rather let me, in conclusion, emphasize the fact tha t in the hearts of the genuine men ana women or our country there is an appreciation of the im­ portance of charai i.er; tha t the rank and file of'the American people not only believe in, but stand for right living and. a conscience undimmed and unfettered by! business environ­ ments. “Therefore right and honesty will triumph ; saturnalia of graft aiul an, era of grab w ilifind itself shortlived, eliminated by the uplifting influ­ ences of educated men and woriion of character, a consmnntion which will-receive"Tresh vigor and renewed impulse from you who to-day are a t ’the beginnings’: - “Wherefore, ladles and gentle­ men of Oberlin, 1905,, start right, steer right, stay right and—make the rest of us come ‘Back to Begin­ nings.’, " !WHITELAWREID IS —The cheapest place to get your carpet paper .is a t McMillans. —Farmers yon cati get sections for McCormick.

A t the banquet were many of England’s foremost men who warmly welcomed'the dis­ tinguished Oedarvillian. Mr, Reid said in part: “With a ll my heart I thank you. With all my poor abili­ ty I shall try'tOidomy duty. I shall not equal my distinguished prede­ cessor in winning your plaudits. What American in fhlH generation can? But in one thing he shall not surpass me, in pride alike in the country which sends me and the country which receives me, as Avell as in the profound conviction that what is in a large way for the real interest of one will generally he found in the long run to bo in the interest of both, and that common institutions, character and aspira­ tions must make up our great ad­ vances lie henceforth in parallel lines. “ Of course we ought to he oh good terms. Why not? Let me put it a little differently. We are on good terms. Why not? What conceiv­ able reason is there now why the two great branches of the English- speaking family should not; be as they are, actually enjoying friendly relations? We are told tha t it is our duty to bring these about. That is their normal state. That has- been increasingly so lof a good many years—their historical state. I t is a thing which now comes naturally. The opposite is what would be un­ natural and different, against in­ stinct, mons'trous. “The chief duty, in fact, of the Ambassador Iqwffeen to raise him­ self to the demands of British wel­ come and British hospitality, which have given a new meaning to the W‘»rds and iittpbse a new’ definition of the labors of dlblomacy. “ I t is a g re a t.pleasure that Lord Roberts is going to America. He wilifind there an enthusiastic.wel­ come, which wifi spring spontane­ ously from every branch of our com­ posite citizenship unanimously, such as even American public lead­ ers rarely command. We want more such men to come to us, • “Give us frequent meetings on each others soil. Give us visits of friendship,'visits of trade and visits of study, observation, travel and sport. Give us intimate and con­ stant personal correspondence, and may I add without indiscretion, give ns facilities for the transmission of our correspondence somewhat less archaic than the . two countries -m}w-provid<.vmore-neftriy-uf>-to-Hie demands of the wideawake twenti­ eth century. I;. “After all this ab o u t’the benefi­ cent effects'of intercourse and inter­ national cooperation in causes of of common interest, I may close by saying tha t .whatever brings the, church and philanthropy of the two countries together clasps the whole English speaking family on what­ ever contlneptscor lands it may be scattered In a single bond, the strong­ est. that lias ever held them or ever will—the bond of the historic rever­ ence of the race for conscience and duty.” _______ __ LIST or* UETTERS.

On the Fourth of Jt ly last year fire-works caused eight, en fires and in the previousyear the number was thirty-three. One would anticipate that a larger part of this fire loss would he from rockets, they being used almost en­ tirely in the cities, but such is not the case. The rocket’s vanity seems to induce it to expend its energy en­ tirely in display nod the long fall of the stick does not faii embers to a red heat. The fires nearly all started from the ignition of some sort of rubbish by a spark and most of these from the explosion of the small fire crackers.- In the exciting Instant of explosion of one of these crackers in a hoys hand, he is likely to throw it with out mature deliberation as to the point a t which it is likely to alight. ( The cannon cracker is barred by ordinance in many ciiies-^as TF should he every where. Last year in a saloon in Coltinibus, toe fuse of one ignited accidentally and a man who caught it to throw It. Into the. street had both of his hands blown oil above the wrist. So great was the heat of the explosion that the hands were consumed,’nails and all, save a piece of one finger.
