THE GREATEST TEACHER OF THE NATION.
he is John D. Rockefeller.

Editorial from Hearss Chicago American
MIR. John D. Rockefeller reminds the world
OF his existence at this moment by giving
s25o,ooc to Barnard College for Wonderland
by compelling or inducing others to give $25o,-
900 more.
1t must be said for Mr. Rockefeller that what
he takes away through an ingenious display of
force and skill combined, he occasionally gives
back to the people very intelligently.
Mr.. Rockefeller has given many millions to
the cause of education.
Whatever you may think of his way of get
ting the millions, you cannot deny him graft.
tude for the motive and intelligence which
direct his gifts.
Mr.. Rockefeller's money does much for edu-
cation Mr.. Rockefeller himself is a great
national educator.
If he gave hundred millions week to the
cause of education for whole year, he could
not do as much IN the long run fer the people
of the United States as he is actually doing in
his daily business life.
He is teaching the power and importance of
industrial organization.
The American people-before Rockefeller
arrived-had very primitive ideas about han
ding great industry.
There were thousands of middle men max.
ing their little profits and paying their en-
ployes as little possible.
Oil was dear. Rockefeller comes along
wipes ont the thousands of middle men, makes
them all work, as they SHOULD work, organizes
oil production, builds huge pipe lines.
He aPpropriates to himself thousand mil
lion dollars of the wealth that God has given
to the nation But he makes oil cheap, and lie
teaches lesson IN industrial organization.
The railroads are simply the feeders, the car
riers, the messengers of industry They
should be controlled. The people, however,
have no idea how to control the railroads.
But John D. Rockefeller knows how to con-
troll the railroads.
The people owning the nation and owning
the railroads ought TO establish their own rates
on the railroads. They don't know how to do
this.

FRED FUNSTON has been having a running
off at the mouth again. He says the trouble
with Senator Hoar is that he is suffering from
an over heated conscience. Nothing of the
kind will ever bother little Wind. Bag Funston:
he never had conscience.

Rockefeller does not CO. hat in hand, to the
railroad managers, as does the average poor
farmer or manufacturer, asking, "Will you
kindly carry my goods, and how much will
you charge?"
ROCKEFELLER sends for the railroad manager.
He arrives with HIS hat in HIS hand. Rookie
feler says to the railroad manager:
~ will allow you to carry SO much freight
for me on such and such conditions, and will
pay you SO much. That's all. Go away"
The manager goes away and does as he is
told, obeying all orders, including the order
not to carry anybody ese's oil in opposition to
Rockefeller.
The people of the United States elect and
they OUGHT to control, their representatives in
congress and in the various state legislatures
They don't know how to control these law.
makers.
But Rockefeller knows how to control the
peoples representatives.
He defeats them when they come up for re-
election if they oppose his will. He never
forgets to REWARD them if they serve him
faithfully. He never ceases to hound them if
they attack his interests. In that, he teaches
a splendid lesson to the people, They might
just as well contlol their representatives as
Rockefeller does-defeating the unfaithful and
rewarding the faithful-but they don't know
enough. Rockefeller is teaching them.
We are grateful to-day 10 the reckless pirates
whose courage gave the first great start to nav
igation.
The merchant dealing honestly travels in the
wake of pirate craft that were first to risk
the open sea. The intelligent merchant whose
ships sail safely to-day is grateful to those old
pioneer pirates.
The people of the future will be grateful to
John D. Rockefeller, the bold, original, capable
and useful pioneer pirate of industry
He organized great industry-for himself.
He controlled railroads-for himself
He controlled legislatures-for himself
But, consciously or unconsciousy, he is
teaching the people of the world how to do all
these things-for themselves.
Thes rict duty of the people and of newspa-
pers is to watch Mr.. Rockefeller and control

him as far possible-in the only way possible,
through the power of public opinion.
But, while he deserves watching, he also de.
serves gratitude, in the broadest sense.
