Rockefeller King Bee.

Milwaukee News
Ina New York letter to the Chi
cago Record Herald, Walter Well
mau avs that John ID. Rockefeller
is now looked upon by almost every
one as the king of American finance
and yalroading Mr.. Morgan is in a
second, but still very high place.
During the last year the two men
virtually have changed positions.
This is hardly correct. Mr., Rookie
feller has been king for long time,
but he has been content to remain in
the background and permit Morgan
to strut in the glare of the calcium
light and entertain the multitude.
But the power of Rockefeller has
been supreme.
Rockefeller hasrecentIy come into
the glare of the lime light, not
through any desire for publicity, but
because the consummation of his
plans has been SO startling as to CEN
ter attention upon his movements.
Men are asking who can rival j. ID.
Rockefeller as money and railway
king Mr.. Wellman says, when his
present plans are brought to compile
ton. If Mr.. Rockefeller becomes
the dominant personal force in New
York Central and the allied roads.
if he is behind and with George
Gould in Wabash aud Missouri Pa
cific and the transcontineutal pro-
ject; if he acquires voice in the
policies, if not in the actual manage
ment of Pennsylvania and Baltimore
& Ohio and their allies, it is appar-
ent that the statue of Mr.. Rookie

Some Cases That Mean Much.

Milwaukee Free Press;
A suit for damages amounting 10
$4,000 was filed in Chicago court
on Thursday by a painting contractor
named Stiles against the PAINTERS
District council and affiliated unions.
Contractor stiles claims that his bus
mess has been damaged by the labor
unious to the amount named the
trouble between stiles and the unions
dates back about five years, ana APP
pears TO be pretty continuous since.
Five wears ago Stiles put his son to
work in his own shop and insisted on
Keeping him there, against the pro-
test Of the union men. Since then
there has never been any long spell
Of harmony in their relation with
Stiles.
The Kellogg Switchboard ana
Supply company, the electrical sup
nlv concern of Chicago, also filed a
suit on the same day against the UNI
ions that are involved in the strike
against it, and which are said In the
complaint to have kept the neigh
borhood Of the Kellogg plant IN a
state of terror FOR many weeks
Six young women employees OF the
Kellogg company also filed suits for
SANDER and libel against women VINO
have picketed the plant.
The Kellogg company names the
metal poishers, brass workers. cleo
trical workers, and brass moldefs uh-
ion as defendants. Contractor Stlles
names the painters, decorators ana
paper hangers, gas filters, plumbers
plasterers and carpenters unions
and a long string of individuals as
defendants. The eases are expected
to come TO trial at the september
term of court. 1t is very rare that
more important issues are presented
to any court.

Teller, If made historically accurate,
will have to be cast as a Colossus OF
Rhodes. He soon will be, II he Is
not already, the most powerful man
In American railways and finance.
He will be greater than any Wander
bilt ever was, or Jay Gould or Nor
gan, or any man Of the golden era OF
American industrialism. II the men
who afford these estimates OF Mr..
Rockefeller,s plans and operations
are not mistaken, it is safe to say
that within five years he will be
without a rival, that his power will
be so great as to become a political
issue in the United States, and that
the history of the world may be
searched in vain for another exam
pie of such vast power held through
the sheer force Of wealth invested In
public utilities
1t is quite likely that Mr.. Rookie
Teller and his ownership OF public
utilities will become political issue
in the course of the next five years.
As between rendering tribute to
Rockefeller or to the federal govern
ment it is not improbable that the
American people will prefer to pay
taxes to the government than TO
Rockefeller. OF course, it won't make
any material difference to them
whether Rockefeller or half dozen
minor captains of industry shall col
lect the tribute, but it will be more
impressive if Rockefeller becomes
the king Of American railways.
With Rockefeller in control, pub
lie ownership of public utilities may
be expected to forge to the front as
political issue. If it should be dan
perous to the liberties of the people
to have large force of public en-
ployes dependent upon the pollti-
ticians it is quite as dangerous to
have the same force dependent upon
John ID. Rockefeller for employment.
Through civil service regulations
the power Of the politicians may be
curbed, but with Rockefeller in con
trol there's no way that his power
over the million and more railway
employees in the country may be re-
stricted.
AS between a government by the
the people and d government ny
Rockefeller it is to be presumed that
the people will prefer to govern
themselves.

Under Some Conditions, Yes.

The following from the Waukesha
Freeman can be readily endorsed Y
all honor-loving citizens no matter
how they regard the third term ques-
ton:
The Madison Journal says thu
Freeman has evaded the real ques-
ton, and wants to know what is it's
position to third term. Now, there
has been no third term question put
to the Freeman, SO far as we have
heard, and consequently there has
been no evasion OF it, but since the
Journal seems to be stirred up over
the subject the Freeman takes the
occasion to say that while it does
not rs general thing believe it is
desirable or necessary to continue
any man in Office more than two
terms; yet, If it came to the question
of voting for an honest, courageous
official for a third term who was OPP
posed by a trader of editorial opinion
for printing contract, the Freeman
would vote for three, four or five
terms for the honest official,

HERE LIES BELINDA.


In October, 1895, Roger Williams be-
cause of his inspiring pleas for individ-
ual liberty was ordered by the general
court of Massachusetts to leave the
colony forever. He went to Rhode Is
land, where he lived for nearly fifty
years. But the official conscience grew
little restless, ana some years ago
In April, 1899 Massachusetts actually
made atonement for its rash act. The
original papers, yellow, faded and
crumbling, were taken from their pi-
geonhole tomb and "by an ordinary
motion made, seconded and adopted"
the order of Punishment was solemnly
"annulled and repealed and made of no
effect whatever
The ban under which Roger Williams
had lain for over 2G0 years was lifted.
And there Is no reason now, according
to law, why Roger Williams cannot en-
ter the state of Massachusetts and re-
side therein. The action was to the
credit and honor of the state; it was
right in its spirit, and Roger, being in
the spirit for more than two centuries,
may have smiled gently and under
stood. But the reparation was really

Truth" by William George Jordan,

ca Is in Matlock. II they want to
prove the contrary, LEI 'em try it"
In three days Blythe returned he
came through the town In the dead OF
night driving large covered wagon.
A week later he was summoned to
court.
~ have been Informed that your
ward Is dead" said Judge Smith. III
that be the case, your guardianship is
terminated. Can you produce herr
''Of course can" said Blythe. Then
he added mcaningly: IF anybody
thinks Belinda is dead, would like to
meet the gentleman and hear his
proofs Fact is, somebody entered my
home two Sundays ago and poisoned
one Of my animals, but Belinda Is
home at this present moment chewin'
the cud of contentment. II you would
like to see her judge, I'll bring her
round" And there the matter dropped.
Six months later Blythe Dunton's
house burned to the ground. The in
surance companies said the ~ was OF
!ncendiary origin, but they were unable
to prove 1t. and after some interesting
litigation they paid the policies. Once
more an evil minded genius asseverated
that during the progress Of the fire
he had seen the carcass of donkey
lying across the threshold Of the Dun
ton house. Blythe was summoned. He
appeared at once, leading his donkey
to court The opposition when called
upon to prove that the animal produced
was not the donkey heiress failed sig
naiiy.
Belinda was confusingly versatile
and changeable In character. For an
entire year after a circus had passed
through the town she exhibited tricks
and talents that no one would ever
have suspected. The following spring
she lost her cleverness and suddenly
developed temper that brooked no
approach within six feet of her heels.
Her girth, too, varied marvelously.
One summer she waxed fat and large.
By winter time she had become meager
and scrawny. The decline was tenn
porary; when the sun cane out and
painted the apple trees she resumed
linda, even to her tail. That interest
ing member fluctuated between hrsute
length and bony brevity in manner
that created no little establishment
So matters went for five years,
during which Belinda earned a ire
mendous reputation. So pronounced
was local pride that no less than ten
men were ready to make oath that
Belinda was born upon their farms.
Blythe Dunton basked in the light Of
prosperity and literally denied the pre-
tensions of no one.
The following winter lie died. His
last words We're, Take care of Miss
Belinda That was impossible, for
his administrator reported that all OF
the barley fortune had been spent. As
he crossed the Dunton garden patch a
queer sight met his eyes. He saw be
fore him nineteen mounds of brown
earth. and over each OF them q OGDEN
slab. The slabs were all alike except
their dates and each of them bore the
