I 1 5 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1913. MR. CARNEGIE AND (BY BISHOP THE CHURCHES W. A. CANDLER M R. ANDREW CARNEGIE in his recent communincation to the Chancellor of Vanderbilt Uni versity stated most unequivo cally his opposition to the ownership and control of colleges and universities by any church whatsoever, “whether the organization be a Methodist Con ference, or a Presbyterian assembly, or a Catholic order". This is nothing new. For years Mr. Carnegie has held and published this view, and he establish ed the Carnegie Pension Fund on the basr* of this idea. Whatever may be said of him concerning this matter, he can not -be charged with any want of candor. He knows what he wants and tells plainly what he wants. He wants no church schools in the United States. He does not seem to be over-well informed about the history of educa- • tion: for he seems to ignore or con demn the vast work of the churches in the field of education for a thousand •years. It is quite possible that Mr. Carnegie knows more about making millions of money out of steel combi nations than he knows aoout education, and that his financial accumulations have ministered to a certain conceit of universal knowledge upon his part. It not infrequently occurs that a man who has made much money indulges the de lusion that his information is as ex tensive as his fortune and his intellec tual ability as great as is his monetary success. Mr. Carnegie assumes to in termeddle with all knowledge, and often shows himself more confident than wise. But let all this be as it may, Mr. Carnegie knows what he wants and gives millions to get it. On the other nand, the churches also know what they want, and they are beginning to see that they must make a square issue with Mr. Carnegie and his followers. The issue is already joined, and it will be drawn more sharply from now on. For example, early in the month of July the Educational Association of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States met in the city of New Orleans. \mong other resolutions passed by the oody are the following, which mani festly are aimed at Mr. Carnegie and his methods. "Whereas, liberty of education has always been recognized in our coun try as a basic principle, and “Whereas, the right of the par ents to educate is one of those fun damental rights which cannot with out injustice be interfered with; and “Whereas, the continued recogni tion of this right is essential to the preservation of a most cherished prerogative of American citizenship; be it “Resolved, That the Catholic Edu cational Association views with alarm the activities of certain indi viduals and corporations whose ut terances and efforts threaten to in terfere with the just liberties of private educational institutions. “Whereas, the Council of Educa tion of the American Medical Asso ciation has elicited the aid of the Carnegie foundation in the examina tion and classification of hospitals; and “Whereas, said Carnegie founda tion has shown a spirit antagonistic to institutions under religious con trol; and “Whereas, there are more than 500 hospitals in the United States under the direction and control of Catholics; be it “Resolved, That we hereby pro test to the American Medical Asso ciation against the action of the medical council; and be it “Resolved, That we request the American Medical Association to intruct its Medical Council to dis continue the services of the Carne- dation. The association all but denounced Mr. Carnegie’s educational schemes as an attempt to form an educational “trust,” as will appear from the careful reading of the following: “We hold that the life and well being of our republic depends on re sisting the influence of centralizing and devitalizing methods that have throttled enterprise In industry and has created our trusts, and that in the name of efficiency are now ap plied to education and are in dan ger of stifling initiative and private endeavor.” This action of the association is not without justification. A few years ago it was announced that the Rockefeller Board and the Carnegie Board would co operate very “sympathetically.” Sev eral persons dre members of both Boards. Mr. Carnegie himself Is a member of the Rockefeller Board; and when he accepted membership on that* Board Mr. Rockefeller expressed his gratification at the fact in these words:* “If a combination to do business is effective in saving waste and in getting better results, why is not combination far more important in philanthropic work? The J general Idea of co-operation in giving for education. I have felt, scored a real step in advance when Mr. Andrew Carnegie consented to become a member of the General Education oBard.’ ” The country knows perfectly well what Mr. Rockefeller means by “a combina tion to do business". In the dialect of the Standard Oil Company and the Steel Trust that phrase has meant to destroy all competitors in the oil and steel market, and then do as you like with the market. Shall we have that sort of thing in the educational world? The Federal Government has been prosecut ing 1 “trusts” and trust-makers; but here Is forming before our eyes the most dangerous of all trusts. Already the Carnegie Foundation is undertaking to dictate educational standards and methods to the whol6 continent, and to “black-list” schools which do not bow to its demands. We hear much of “Carnegie units” and the like. The purpose to dominate education in the United States has been distinctly and unequivocally announced. for the Rockefeller Board, of which Mr. Car negie is a member, and whicl> is In close alliance with the Carnegie Board. At the time of the organization of that Board it was announced in statements of identical fcfrm in the New York papers what was intended. In view of the fact that the same notice appeared in several papers it is fair to assume Jt issued through all the papers front a common and authoritative source. In it appeared these words: “While certain colleges will be selected for donations or endow ments, forming a chain across the continent, others not so favored will be left to their fate, as it were, and many of them will be. it is, expected, forced to close their doors In the face of such strong support of their fortunate rivals.” About the same time the OUTLOOK. Dr. Lyman Abbott’s periodical, spoke as follows editorially: With this financial power in its control, the general board is in posi tion 'to do what no body in this country can at present, even at tempt. It can determine largely uyriyht !!>):: When it became known that Electa Smith was going to marry Louis Mar tin there was instant protest. Every body in Westmore knew ISteeta Smith and she had a good many friends. She had been for eleven years saleswoman at -Stapleton’s and a position of that kind is pretty apt to give one either a good or a bad name with the public. Louis M? **tin was ‘ a big fellow, who LISKOF W. A. CANDLES, what institutions shall grow, and in some measure what shall stand still or decay. It can look over the terri tory of the nation, note the places where there is a famine of learning, and start new educational plants of any species it chooses, or revive old ones. It can do ih many ways ivhat the government does for edu cation in France and Germany. Its power will he enormous; it seems as if it might be able to determine the character of American educa tion. The funds it hoMs represent only a fraction of che amounts whioh it will contrc*; by giving a sum to an institution on condition that the institutirn raise an equal or greater amount, it will be able to direct much larger amounts than it possesses.” There is disclosed the scheme to domi nate American education and it is open and fully exposed to view. That such a scheme is good for the counttry can not be believed. Let the motives of the men who are prosecuting this purpose to control the higher education of the United States be what they may, no such power is safe in their hands or the hands of any body. That very able paper the NEW YORK JORUNAL OF COMMERCE states the case suggestive ly in an editorial from which this ex tract is taken: “A system of giving which has its own rules and' customs, which is governed by principles of selection * laid down in the beginning, which ramifies throughout the country and embraces especially those smaller institutions that are hampered by narrow means, is an infinitely more powerful force in the shaping of opinion than any single capitalist who makes separate and often un conditional gifts to be controlled and invested by the institutions them- ' selves could ever be. As a mechan ism for controlling academic epinion there has, perhaps, never been any thing in the history of education that would compare with the Board .system of subsidizing laming.” “Gifts to education are like cam paign contributions in that they are best made in relatively small amounts and from many sources. Under such circumstances they are likely to leave the recipients in posi tion to choose their own course in matters of opinion and teaching. If they must be large, it requires greater force of character to main tain independence of thought and action. Such freedom has been lack ing in too many quarters. The spec tacle of a university president preaching the maintenance of some of the worst abuses of capitalism and another meekly bowing the knee to receive the money offered by those for whose acts he had but lately suggested social ostracism as a penalty is not edifying. In stances can be given in abundance where the mere prospect of an im mediate gift has changed the whole current of a college administrator’s thought and made him trim his sails on an entirely new track to catch the favoring breezes of pros perity. The craze and competition for large numbers of students has greatly crippled those who would uphold the older traditions of inde pendent economic thinking. In creasing numbers mean increasing expense in college administration and lead to growing dependence on wealth of doubtful origin. This, ‘among other reasons, is ground for thinking the enormous benefactions of the past few years, whether as pensions, endowments or annual gifts to colleges, may put our aca demic thinkers into a moral strait- jacket at the same time that they are freed from the cramping in fluences of limited means.” In the last national campaign Presi dent Wilson and his friends avoided large contributions from individuals and, corporations. Dominating donations to colleges and universities are likewise not the most desirable; and when they come from huge boards, chartered to live through generations with cumulative power, they are positively dangerous. Herein is the value of having colleges like those of the churches,—institutions which owe their life life and support to a large number of pious people who by their gifts aim at nothing but the intellectual culture and moral welfare of the country. Such institutions stand in the way of institutions dominated by boards established and controlled by a few rich men. They are stumbling blocks in the way of the avowed purposes of Mr. Carnegie. Can he put them out of the way? Har<l- iy. The churches are not going to die; they are going to live. They are not going out of the work of education; they are going to do more work in that field. Mr. Carnegie does not understanl churches as well as he knows politics and steel-making. He will find that he j can not overcome the churches. They can not be bought, and they can not be over-awed. They are not going to allow Mr. Carnegie nor anybody else to modify their educational policies, or pull down their institutions of learning. Nor will they permit their colleges and universi ties to be denatured by Mr. Carnegie and his board. When they are fully awakened to what is going on, their answer to all these schemes will be cogent and conclusive. They will answer with both words and works. The gifts of thousands and tens of thou -a”us devout people can not be despised. That the churches are awakening to the menace of Mr. Carnegie's methods is evident from the resolutions of the Edu cational Association of the Catholics at New Orleans. The members of that as sociation have sounded a true note. It is but the beginning of what will speedi ly follow. Mr. Carnegie and his board have under-rated the power and pur poses of the Christian churches. When He Came Wooing 1 She Favored Him. would have been bigger still if he had not hunched his shoulders and sloughed in his gait. He was careless about his personal appearance and sometimes careless about the company he kept. He had light gray eyes that could nar row wickedly, a jaw as hard and steep as a cliff, and 'a voice that resembled the growl of an angry bear. He had. it is true, his friends and followers, but most men let him alone. He had money enough to make him .a certain power in the community, and his house had all the angles and cupolas and plate glass windows necessary to make it conspicuous and unsightly. Louis had built that house just to suit himself, but his wife had lived in it until she died. She had been a Ter- williger and the Terwilli^ers were people of importance socially. They were, however, poor, and that was sup posed to be the reason why May Ter- williger had married Louis. She was a big, handsome woman, full chested, rosy, proud—a very queen when she had on her good clothes. But Louis had actually worried the life out of her. abused her by word and act. For ten years Louis had been a wid ower, but from no fault of his. He hacl besieged the heart of every mar riageable woman in the town. But the women knew too much about him and they were wary. They walked by him and his big house with their noses up, even the poorest of them. Then one day Louis went into Sta pleton’s for something and saw Electa Smith. He had never noticed her be fore. From that day he noticed nobody else. Electa was plain. She was a tiny thing, thin, dark and sallow. She was very quiet, almost shy and timid in manner. But she had a swset way with her eyes and a singularly winning smile when she smiled at all. She "vas, indeed, grave almost to sadness. fe>e worked so long at Stapleton’s that she seemed to have become a kind of ma chine that knew little besides handing down bolts of goods and measuring them off. She had never had a lover. Life had been a mere mattter of work for her ever since she was left to face the world alone. It is no wonder that, though she had known the worst of Louis Martin all her life, when he came wooing she favored him. He gave her a solitaire, which had not been his ; first wife’s, and she wore it proudly. | But she kept on at work and would un- ; til her wedding day. I As soon as she heard of what had I happened Mrs. Jim Daly went to see i Electa. Mrs. Jim Daly came as near ; loving Electa as any one ever had. She | always bought her dress goods at Sta- ! pleton’s because Electa could measure j them off for her. And every Sunday she made it a practice to have Electa up to her house to dinner. Mrs. »Jim was big and sweet hearted and emo tional, for she had a strain of Irish blood in her veins. “Electa, darlin’,” she said. “I hear you’re going to marry Louis Martin. I i wish you’d told me yourself, instead of | waiting for somebody else to do it. i iatill, that’s neither here nor there. I’ve come, darlin*, to talk things over with you and ask you if you know what you’re doing.” Electa sighed. "I don’t know. I’ve got to find out.” “May Terwilliger found out and she died. She would make a dozen of you, darlin’, in body and soul and courage. Yet she was no match for that man. What do you expect?” I don’t expect. I’m hoping,” Electa sighed. ‘Darlin’,’ pleaded Mrs. Jim, fervent ly and tearfully, “the first time he blats out at you you’ll fall right down .dead, you’re that gentle and timid. I’d rather see my white kitten mated to a young tiger cub than you mated to Louis Martin.” Electa took a deep breath and an swered nothing. “What are you doing it for anyway?” demanded Mrs. Jim. "I’ll tell you all my reasons,” Electa answered slowly. “I’m so tired of the store. I want—I’ve always wanted—a place to live in other than a boarding house bedroom, with the use of the par lor when company comes. I want a home. Louis has got one to give. And then I want Louis. I love him.” “You—love—him!” cried Mrs. Jim, and nearly fainted from astonishment. Electa smiled faintly. She nod/ded. But she would say no more. Indeed, after that there was no more to be said. Mrs. Jim rallied herself nobly and helped Electa with her wedding clothes. She wept over them as though she were preparing vesture for a human sac rifice. She wanted Electa to be married at her home hut Electa said no; they would go quietly to the parsonage. Mrs. Jim replied that in that case she would ac company Electa. So on a Wednesday evening Electa put on her new gray suit, her new vio let toque and her white gloves, got into the cab with Louis and drove to the parsonage, where a small company of her friends and Louis’ waited to wit ness the ceremony. And there she plighted her faith forever to West- more’s ogre. As Mrs. Jim said after ward, it was a good deal like seeing a mouse caught under the paw of a cat. “But she won’t squeak even when she’s scared enough to die.” They went away for a few days, then came back to the house of the cupolas ana corners, which Louis had made no attempt to fix up for his bride. In ten years of emptiness it had grown rather shabby. Housekeeping was new to Electa, but she attacked it bravely. And for a I whiie Louis found no fault with her. Then j trouble began. Mrs. Jim Daly went in unexpectedly one morning and found Electa crying her eyes out. “Oh. darlin’,” she moaned, “I know what this means.” “No. you don’t,” pobbed Electa. -t wa~ the buckwheat. cakes. They were sour. And—and—oh, I wish I didn’t j love him so much, Mrs. Jim.” "You won’t long,” prophesied Mrs. I uim. “He’ll kill your love for him, poor . darlin’.” j So the story got about that Electa , was having a w’orse time even than, j poor May had had. j “She’ll leave him,” said Mrs. Jim “She can’t live with him.” “She’ll stay on until he pesters her into the gi‘ave the way he did poor May," snarled Miss Tousely. So it went on for six months or so. Then something happened—so quietly and. secretly that nobody in all West- more save, indeed, Electa herself knew anything about it, Louis Martin re formed. One day it was ticed that he was wearing a clean collar. This was suf ficient surprise in itself. But greater surprise was still to be: One Sunday morning he walked to church with his wife and sat decently beside her until service was over. It was the first time Louis Martin* had ever been seen inside a Westmore church. Electa gave a tea party for all her acquaintances, and Louis, in a really mannerly way, helped her to make things pleasant for them. He went to church that Sunday also, and the day following a corps of paint ers and paperhangers began work on his house. It was further noticed that Electa was acquiring a sufficient ex pression quite different from that she had worn since her marriage. So it went on from better to best. Electa gave frequent invitations, and when she was invited in return took ,: er husband out into company with her. He was toning down wonderfully. The cliff-like jaw seemed to be losing some of its flintiness. When one lovely Sab bath mornirtg he actually joined the church Westmore went wild with curi osity. Mrs. Jim Daly sought the con fidence of happy Electa. “What have you done How did you do it?” she gasped. Electa laughed. “That’s my secret, Mrs. Jim, dear. I shall keep it as long as I live. By and by when I’m dead and gone I’ll have it written out for you. That’s time enough for you to know.” Many were the conjectures of how Electa had got the mastery of Louis. Did she hold some knowledge over him? Ah, that must be It! It was Mrs. Jim Daly, however, who found out the only satisfactory explanation, and that by merest chance. Her white kitten, now a grown cat, cornered a mouse one day before her very eyes. The mouse at bay turned on the cat with such a show of fight in its desperate little visage that the startled, bewildered cat let it go scurrying away to safety. “There!” cried Mrs. Jim. “That’s the secret. I’ve discovered it. The mouse turned!” And she told Electa. But Electa only laughed, without admitting anything.

TRACING GENE ©LOGIES—A FASCIN ATING STUDY. After I made a trip to Annapolis, Md., and begun a search for my for bears in the Maryland land office, a dis tant cousin whose husband is assistant pay director of the United States navy, kindly furnished the direct line to me from two branches of the family and I have it straight from Bible records and Charles county, Maryland, records. We run directly to Captain Randolph Brandt, who moved to Maryland in 1674 with his wife and children and settled at Penguiah Manor, Charles county. He was born in the Barbadoes and his father died on the island, 1671. His father’s will is entered on the records of Barbadoes, April 19, 1672. The son, Ru dolph, was captain of Maryland militia, 1678, of Charles county. He was mem ber of Maryland assembly, 1682. He was also commission of Indian af fairs in colonial times. He was a Cath olic, as nearly all the dignitaries of co lonial history were in Maryland at that early period. He died in 1698. His will is recorded both in Charles county and Annapolis, Md. His daughter was my ancestress. His daughter, Mary Brandt, was the first wife of my great-great-grandfather, James Latimer, who died in 1718 in Charles county, Maryland. His estate was settled by his widow, Mary, and is recorded at Annapolis, Md. He left two sons, James and Jacob. James died at “May Cocks’ Rest” in 1774. Jacob, my ancestor, died in 1784. Jacob also mar ried his own cousin, Miss Brandt, first wife, and Judith Swann, second wife. This Miss Brandt left three sons, my grandfather was one of them, and he married Rebecca Marshall, of “Marshall Hall,” and I am named for this Mary land grandmother. This established record shows they removed to Georgia. My great-grandmother’s will, naming my grandfather, was recorded, and pro bated in 1811, in Annapolis, Md. William and Rebecca Marshall Lat imer sold “Marshall Hall” to Thomas Marshall, her brother, in 1803. Lib. C.. No. 2, page 147. Land office, Annapo lis, Md. My ancestors, the Brandts, were first represented in America by Captain Ru dolph Brandt, of distinguished service. My great-uncles, Marcus and Samuel Latimer, took the oath of allegiance in 1775 and 1778. Recorded at Annapolis, Maryland. I have had so many letters of inquiry as to how to proceed in perfecting a genealogical line that I have written this down for information. The Marshall line I wrote about some weeks ago, but I have not perfected the complete record, except to show that my grandmother’s uncles took the oath of allegiance in 1776-1778, which is a record of highest import in all colonial and revolutionary records. Her people came from Scotland, and the three brothers named their planta tion Three Brothers. For a hundred years the lands records show the sales and subdivisions of “Three Brothers.” Nine of the Marshall family took the oath of allegiance in 1776-1778, as shown on the record list of those brave signers, from which I copied their names. It is a somewhat perplexing but interesting study, and those Mary land records are the most wonderful and complete in American history. ONE OF THE FKA8E8 OF TARIFF AGITATION The removal of the great mohair man ufactory, now located at Greystone, R. I., to England and Governor Foss’ open declaration that his large Massachu setts company is preparing to locate over in Canada, would indicate the ne cessity of going slow in tariff declara tions, until the public mind is relieved of its unrest and^ indecision. The struggle against free sugar in Louisiana is another pointer. It has been published and I have not seen it denied, that the committee on sugar tariffs made a most astonishing report, and also said that Louisiana sugar mak ers might go at some other business if they could not make a profit on sugar just quit and be done with it. It will be remembered that sugar mills and sugar refining plants are very expen sive things. Millions have been invest ed in, Louisiana and to abandon sugar culture would mean untold loss and enormous sacrifice in many ways. Let us take a glimpse at sugar making. First comes the land. Then the ex pense of planting and getting to these mills the sugar cane or sugar beets. Then the expensive refining process. Then the risk in crops, such as drouth, floods, or other disasters, etc. When a pound of clean, good, gran ulated sugar can be placed on your table for less than 5 cents a pound, where is the common sense of striking off a half or quarter cent of profit? If this invaluable and absolute neces sity in food products can be served to the consumer at that low figure, does it not stand to reason that this sugar making business should not be destroyed utterly—throwing us upon a Cuban or Hawaiian market? Are you not willing to give the pro ducer enough to make a decent living? With that threat, to find some other business, sugar is doomed, it will make a, whole lot of people stand up ana take notice. It is poor politics likewise to threaten any, industry with the sher iff’s hammer. TRIBUTE TO AN HUMBLE LITTLE FRIEND. Several years ago, a generous gentle man, who lives in the eastern part of the state, gave me a beautiful small dog. sending him across in fine style by express and from that day to this this faithful friend has never known a single hour of want or neglect, and never failed to receive warm affection from the younger members of our fam ily. In all my life I have never seen more beautiful loyalty on both sides, because Ridley lavished most extraord inary devotion on his young friends, and they in turn were never too sleepy or tried to give him all he needed or asked for at their hands. He was as nice and neat in his habits as if he understood the ways of a gen tleman. He allowed no noisy dogs or ill- mannered ones among his acquaintances, and he learned to ask for water or food in most respectful ways.. The grandchildren were never cross to him, and he adored them, and this friendship and affection never waned un til he died a few days ago. It was sad to witness thejr grief over the beautiful pet as he was laid out in a regular small coffin and carried out to the farm for burial in the choic est spot they could agree upon, for Ridley’s last resting place in a green meadow under the shade of a tree. They have a score of Ridley’s photos and he will not be forgotten. I have often thought that the little dog evinced the happy faculty of win ning affection beyond all of his kind and quite equal to humans, He was nothing but a pet, but he nev er forgot to be everything that was clean, genteel and proper, and his man ners for a dog were quite Chesterfieldian. He filled his little mission with per fect grace and the like of him I never expect to see again. Minister Would Convert Thief Who Entered His House Returning to Atlanta after an aU- sence of ten days, Rev. Dr. Caleb A. Rid ley and his family found that their house had been burglarized Just an hour before they re-entered it.' Dr. Ridley Is pastor of the Central Baptist! church. His home Is at 314 South Proyor street. For the past ten days he and his family have been In Montlcello, Ga. They came back to At lanta Saturday and Dr. Ridley unlocked the front door of his home shortly after 2 o’clock. A few minutes later he noticed that one of the Interior doors of the house, communicating with stairs into ths base ment, was open. The lock had been smashed. An axe was found nearby. It should have been In the back yard. That led to further Investigation, and Dr. Rid ley discovered that about $60 worth of jewelry, a watch chain and charm, a razor, some clothes, and a few other things were missing. The family began a general inventory to determine what else the Intruder had taken. "We thought you got home about an hour ago,” said neighbors, greeting the family. We heard somebody moving around over here, and called, but didn’t get an answer.” "That was the burglar!” exclaimed Dr. Ridley. "If he had delayed Just a little longer I’d have caught him and convert ed him.”
