JOHN Is PUTTING UP

An organization. purporting to be
a civic association for the promo
tion of good government and equit-
able taxation. is sending out liter
ature which has for its purpose de-
fense of the Standard Oil methods.
articles on the Standard Oil Com
pany written by Ida NJ. Tarbell. one
of the foremost writer's of the age,
and which holds up to the eyes OF
the public the iniquities of that com
pany. II would seem that the asso-
citation could find more profitable
reading to send out in support of its
contention for good government
than defense of the Standard com
pany, but that is just what it is do
ing. If we can read between the
lines of the circular letter received
with the pamphlets this morning
John d. Rockefeller is the man who
Is putting up for this defense.
Evidently the secretary of the Civ
ic Association believes that the peo
pie are chumps and will readily b,
deceived with the little game tha
is being set up to offset the indigna-
tion of the country at large over the
expose of the methods employed b,
the Standard company to fleece the
people
One sentence alone in the pamph-
let should be sufficient to convince
any thinking man that the sendinr
out Of these pamphlets is a put-ul
job. It is the following which ap
pears; "That Mr. Rockefeller ha.
been caught in no worse crimes than
underselling his competitors and gel
ting rebates from railroads. is mos
unfortunate from dramatic poin
of view"

There is always someone found ready
to take up their defense for money

with party rings in their noses, &"

belive that there are a few men in
each party who permit other people
to think for them all the time. but
the number, compared to the whole,
is small. We have a higher idea of

The work of the city clerk in the
next few years will be matter of
much moment in the conduct of af-
fairs. He will not be a mere figure
head. or will he find it necessary
TO hunt additional work on the out
side. The work is there to do and
We believe no one will be better able
to perform that work than Jack Con-
ley. The democratic nominee for
city clerk asks the suffrages of the
public solely on the ground of his
competency. He does not ask it on
the ground that it will be berth.
nor does he seek 1t on the ground of
lis physical infirmity. He believes
ne can well serve the people in that
capacity. and his training would war

The democrats have had no time
thus far in the present campaign to
make a fight against the law enforce
ment party, which seems to be the
main element of the cempaign with
the republicans. The democrats have
felt from the first that they We're
satisfied with their ticket. and have
believed that if the people would
elect that ticket they would also be
satisfied. From the constant articles
appearing in the other paper against
the Law Enforcement League, one
would believe that the members of
that party are hated with a bitter
hate which will not be satisfied un-
less every nominee on that ticket is

TRAITS OF INHERITANCE.
In Books as in Life There Are Family
Resemblances.

One may imagine an artist attempting on a
wager to paint a landscape without using q
single tone Of yellow. let us say. or blue. In
the same way one may imagine novelist
writing story of a man and woman, so
detached from the outside world, so silent
regarding their ancestry. their past lives,
their present surroundings. SO nearly a rec
ord of two naked souls, that heredity and
environment may be said for once to be
eliminated. But such q picture, such
story. would be mere tour de force. not an
honest transcript from life Every land
scape must contain, In varying degree. some
yellow and some blue. Every human story
must concern itself with traits inherited
from our fathers or acquired through the
company we keep.
And the novelist to whom his characters
are living reality, men and women whom
he thinks of as having an existence outside
the pages of his book, needs no promptfngs
the ties Of blood and of propinqulty-any
more than the Photographic lens needs to
be prompted in order to show In family
group how the fathers eyes, the mother
lips are mirrored back in the faces Of son
and daughter.
It is not venturesome to say that in some
of our best English novels, In Belinda" and
"Emma." In The Newcomes" and THE
Mill on the Floss" there is often more he
redity than Miss Edgeworth or Miss Austen.

scious of putting there. Take any novel OF
