Rockefeller, the richest Jn. . IJnited States, perhaps in the world his for tupc estimated at something like -a billion d0Hcr5has been used aa America's pounding bag. "People wanting mental exercise have struck him above the belt and below the belt. They have walked on him. danced on him, knifed him .cufTed him. hammered I him JBffur atively speaking, to their hearts content. Yellow magazines and newspapers have paint ed his as a ghoul, as a man who talked over dead men's bones, used them as pepping stones to amass his wonderful pile of yellow gold. Courts have tried him; the public has execrated him; men have denounced him and few have praised him. Vhf? " . Simply because Old John, in the great in ternational and world-wide game of money grubbing, was first to the home plate. All of us were after what John was after he got more than the rest, and, envy came in, walk ing in the shoes of outraged decency, and de nounced John because he made a billion. When wc look at the base ball game we cheer the fellow who makesa home run. Wild arc the plaudits. Cheers rend the air. Ex citement runs high and the Hero is crowned and flattered. In all games is this true, ex cept in the game of Money Getting.. Let a man make his million and at once a set of har pies light upon his character; at once the spell-binding and wind-jamming politician in his fume and foam wants to know "where did he get it?" and" a world impoverished and hungry at once sets down the, winner as an unspeakable highwayman who double-crossed Society and robbed its individual members. " John Rockefeller started in life an honest man and a pious man a poor boy without a dollar. He was patient; he was frugal; he was endowed with good business sense, and he "struck it rich" not that it was luck, but because he saw something and had the ability to put it in his basket. So far as we know, as a matter of fact, and so far as the world knows, he has remained honest. He has piled high his gold, mountains 'of it, more moncv than he knows what to do with ; more money than he can spend, more money than any other individual in the whole world and this in the eyes of Society is his great sin. And vet John D. Rockefeller is a benefactor of his face. Because John D. Rockefeller did what he did he has helped mankind in a thousand ways. The figures just given out show that the Rockefeller Foundation last year gave frcclv away eight and one-half mil "lion dollars. For what? The modest an nouncement is: "To 'promote the vvell being of mankind throughout the world." To promote the well being of mankind throughout the world and eight and a half million dollars tossed in the hat to do it. In scientific research, in education, in church work, in all that has to do with the betterment of mankind, not only in this country, but in the whole world, John D. Rockefeller paid in, in gold, eight and a half 'million dollars. Was there ever before such a philanthrop ist? Wasn't it a good thing that Rockefeller, instead of spending his money as he earned it, a few dollars at a time, spending it in dissi pation and riotous living, kept his little mite together and made it grow, and finally made it possible to aid in scientific research, thus promoting the w ell being of mankind through out the world? Indeed it was. And that was not all. Because of the great vt,nirH Oil Lomoanv which he formed it was made possible to obtain all the by-products which were never known; it was made possible to sell kerosene at half price; it was made possible to do a thousand things for the benefit of mankind; and they use Old John for a pounding bag and abuse him for doing what they tried to do and failed. nd Old John hasn't used the megaphone to proclaim his charities. The Rockefeller Foundation of course must make reports. But lohn's private charities will never be known. For instance, when the great disaster occurred in San Francisco, when people were homeless and helpless, when their homes had been de stroyed and the furniture vvith them ; when sewing women had lost their machines and noor families had lost their Moves, an agent of John I). Rockefeller went to San Francisco, and every man and woman whom he found needing help was helped. To the women sew ing machines were given without price; stoves vvrre sent to thousands of families, and vvith them fuel for a month: mechanics who had lot their tools were supplied and the chances are that Rockefeller spent a half million dol lars when it was needed, and even the news papers were asked not to print the news. And vet we "cuss out" Old John D. Rockefel-, ler, America's greatest philanthropist, and pcrhap as good a man as there is in the world. Shall we say it? For shame! The metropolitan press is happy. It smells j warand the news butchers are saving up all j their coins. There will be something doinj; j "Hextra" every few minutes. o ' A Sermon. The great play "Experience" to be pn sent- j ed in this city is saiu 10 oc a sermon vvnicn is most impressive. Many church people do not attend the play house entertainments. The exchanges coming into this office speak in the highest praise of the play, and Manager Har rison says it is first class. A full house is ex pected both nights. -O- Where Does It Come From? We always like to Know where the mone' comes from. England's financial men an nounce that the expenditure by that Nation tg prosecute the war is six million pounds a day, or thirty million dollars. Thirty million dol lars! The statement is incomprehensible. Thirty millon dollars a day figure on what a year of it means and you run out of ciphers. Where does such a vast sum of money'come from? How do they, get it together and how long will such foolishness last? We all look' over. tne ngures ana tn aespair give u up.- . ;:- ' Teddy Wants To Go. Teddy, the Great and The Terrible, wani -to be allowed to take two million American citizens not soldiers, because they would be in training to Europe and help France and -England wallop- Germany. He would lead them into the cannon's mouth into the jaws of death even as he charged San Juan Hill. But it might be well to think it over before ; dispatching Teddy with two million musket toters. It might occur if we sent pur ships and our men across the sea- that some other nation perhaps one with almond eyes and a skin lightly tinged with Yellow would cast greedy eyes this way and come take posses sion while the two million men were gone and the two million suffragists, ably led bv Mrs. Colonel Catt, Were making gardens. : The fact that we are not in a "state of war." lacking only the declaration which will per haps follow soon after the convening of Con gress, now called in specifil session for April -the second, instead of the sixteenth, it might be well to' understand that we need coast defense. It was back in 1875 that old Sam Tilden. perhaps -the noblest Roman of them r all, wanted to put a million men on coast defense, to build the grandest fortresses in the world, because he saw. the time' would come when possibly we would need such defense. Those were the days before the evangels of Peace were filling- the air with their murmurings 'r 1 i - and complainings loner oetore tne suomanne and the wireless, and .the airship. But Tilden saw what might happen, and we may live now, in these days of peace talk, to see how sadly we have neglected our own protection. . . With the comiifg of war the corner grocery and the country store in the sticks will be the place where wisdom will flow, and flow as freely as molasses in July. It will be jthere we will hear about our troops going' to Eng land; there we will hear about a thousand things.' Those grim strategists of war will fully discuss all the essential details and perhaps know as much about it as any living man. Offhand it looks to us that we should never send a soldier to foreign soil. It looks like we might attempt to convoy some merchant men through the barred zone with our battle ships. Tt look's like it is altogether possible that if we do the German fleets may come out of1 the North Sea and be entertained by Eng land and the United States, But that is prob lematical. Along our coasts we will be obliged to have a watchful eye for German submarines. Those living in New York City and Boston and "Charleston and other aea "coast towns will live in dread of being shelled - but the United States can probably protect those cities from harm. Our munition makers will be busy in manufacturing shells for our own country; the ship builders will rush things day and night. We spend a billion dol lars perhaps in hurried Preparedness, but we predict the loss of soldiers on1 the land will amount to nothing. What may happen in .naval engagements, if 'there are such, is of iter fnr speculation. However, this is one opinion among ten mil lion and then ten million more that will be nH.r.r I n thp mpanTimp we snyycsi nidi TAAi' mm liimcplf with 'a submarine or two 1VUJ v.. ...... and go out duck hunting in the barred zones for submarines carrying other flags than our?.
