Violent days are these when a man

even the book agent are compelled to
recognize. Mr.. Rockefeller, the head
Of the house by that name, knows his
rights and has retreated behind them
in his baronial home in New Jersey
He has barricaded the doors. He has
hired armed guards. He has erected
heavy timbers to prevent entrance to
bis estate. His servants, soldiers and
retainers may shoot tresspassers and
intruders and the law fill clear them
We must respect privacy What
crime has this man committed that
detectives and warrant servers should
dog his footsteps and harry him like
horsethiei, He is not charged with
crime just now. He is only desired
as witness in an inquiry which tho
state of Missouri is making into an
industry which affect every man and
woman in that state, and in all these

do great public service by the testi-
mony. He can do himself and his
posterity a still greater favor by refut-
ing once for all the universal charge
that he is guilty OF acts in business
life which will not stand an exposure
Does he fear the truth? His present
attitude towards the law and The laws

Many critics OF modern ways make
