most parts of the world, has not come
about in quite the way to leave on
lockers just easy in their own minds.
They were satisfied to see Russian ag-
erosion in the East checked, Russian
power cuTbed and Russian autocracy
rebuked. They were content to have
"little Japan" gain the mastery. to see
her defend her existence and even to
pave the way for growth.
But they were not prepared to see
Russia emerge from the conflict shat

JOHN o. ROCKEFELLER.

Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell, the historian,
who has Justly earned and fully enjoys
the credence of the American reading
public, is following up her notable rev.
Citations OF Standard Oil methods, that
produced such a genuine effect a
couple OF years ago, with a biography
and character sketch of John ID. Rock
efeller, president and head of that
company, beginning its publication in
the current issue of McClure's. In
view OF Mr.. Rockefellers relations to
the public, growing out of his recent
benefactions to religious and educa-
tional objects, and the controversy
that has sprung up over the propriety
of accepting them, these articles are
especially timely.
1t may be set down at the outset
that Miss Tarbell tells the exact truth.
so Tar as the truth is attainable. She
is not sensational yellow journalist.

ton in letters to preserve. She writes

of her subject, finds that the man who
