lccust ofAiiAsoart desires M Il say.'
That aonndsall little harsh. Som,
may interpret II as meaning that /
WAS inmateriaI II Mi. Rogers VIA
any one desired him N say bscauss
being under oath, he was answer
liable to bis own conscience. Bul
Rogers had been sworn 10 TILL aths
ItiTsb thA whole trnth, lind nothing
tat truth and ID when WE rel
RbeE that be did not conform 10
|his casli IN my respect that inter.
probation wilI hardly have weight,
itisnot unlair ID NY That THE
snswsr gwen by Rogers this quess
tio1 represents she attitude cf cvery
ono a. these influential iIasors ii
the law.
DO they seriously believe that
such tactics 40 these win wina
Ofccurse they DOH Why should
they not entertain that beliefs
They have seen legislatures pass
laws for the protection of The pub.
Lie interests and they have heard
the people pleading for reliei and
YET BY reason Of their great power
they have nullifed all the laws
and madeineffective all public pro
tests. They have used their money
for the election Of United States
senator's and for the control Of poli.
teal conventions, and In at least
onepresldential campaign they have
used their powerful influence and
their dollars to win lhe victory. |
Why should tbese men care for 4 |
mere ccurtf Have they not, like
Nick Biddle, boosted that they make
and unmake courts, % they make
md unmake senators. governors
md representatives in congress2
Have they aat controlled the edi-
.ogia! calumny Of some Of The great i
newspapers, .as they have oftentimes
controlled the dispatches ofsoms 4
# the great press associations2 |
Why should these men be held ac.
'ountable on lines which must be
oed by ordinary tnen'
Althoagb this inquiry at New
s,rk has attracted worldwide at- !
ssiioa, the ssibposHa issaed for
ohn D. Rockefeller has mot been
rryed, Mr. Rockefeller having fled

aving for many weeks remain

reatest Importance that Mr., Rogers 9
y required to answer these ques- I
ons, and the fight along that line g
iould be carried 10 the finish, IL |
'ould be Demonstrated by the T.
ithorities ofthe great state of
issonri, as we have no doubt ii A
i'll be 90 demonstrated, that even p
,bn D. Rockefeller, with his mil. d
ms OF ill-gotteh wealth cannot \
ng remain concealed from the p
issOuri officers. W
Rockefeller knows more than any B
10 else connected with these great m
'ncerns with reference TO the great b.
Isiness affairs thru which he has x
led mp bis wealth and he should "

Let Us zee whethsron the witness @

Rogers lied. Thisis blunt Ian.
age, indeed, but who will say hs
It this is time TO mince wordsa ca
ho will say that IL is not the duty in
those who are expected to point an
