The great fortunes accumulated
by men like Coils Huntington and
John d. Rockefeller are held up be-
fore the ambitious youths of the
country to show what may be &C
comPlished under our system OF
government. The fact that man
can, during his life time, become
the pOssessor of untold millions,
does not prove that the laws, under
which such il thing is possible, are
favorable to the masses. 1t clearly
proves the contrary. Because Mr..
Huntington accumulated wealth be
Yond the dreams of avarice it does
not follow that the American boy
with an humble beginning has rea-
son to- hope to become million
aire. The larger the fortunes of the
favored few the harder it is for the
great masses of the people to- earn
even a modest livelihood. The
Rockefellers and the Huntingtons
knew how to take advantage of gov
ernmental favoritism. 1t is all
balderdash TO cite the success of
these men as an incentive to the
boys of the country. Great for
tunes in the hands of few men
should not be taken as evidence Of
the prosperity of the masses.
