but il is self-lnterest just the same.

Rockefeller as a Teacher.

Editor The Washington Herald:
In your recent editorial, do Trusts
Lower Rrices?' you apparently overlook
the fact that the power TO lower prices
must necessarily carry with it the power
to raise prices. or the proposition is one
sided. This being true. why should not
the members Of the trusts consult their
own interests in the matter OF price, the
same that they would be expected to do
If they were acting as individuals. or as
partners Of a firm? So long as people
cannot, or viii not, run their own busi-
ness. they should not object TO the price
which they must pay TO others.
our commerce and industries are con-
Quoted to-day under the competitive or
anarchistic system. which has for its
motto, Every one for himself and the
devil take the hindmost But now.
when the devil is beginning to reap his
harvest and those who have talked so
bravely heretofore feel his hot breath
smuggling their tail feathers, we hear the
cry going up from the little competitors
of fraud" unfair competition" re
bates" &c, as though they thought they
could block the wheels OF progress with
their puny efforts. The trusts are as nat
uraI consequences of the competitive sys-
TEN as was partnership and all the other
forms of cooperation which have been
tried to lessen the waste and increase
the product of human effort ever since
men began TO have dealings with each
other.
John D. Rockefeller will go down in
history as one Of the greatest teachers
the world has ever known. for he is
teaching the people the benefit of CO
operation, and he is proving the correct
ness Of his theories by practical demon
stration II any one a few years ago
had said that the great business men
would ever be willing TO merge their in
dividual interests in the great combines
that we see around us. the wiseacres
would have shaken their heads and said
that human nature would -cveT permit it,
But Rockefeller has appealed , this very
human nature. and by showing his fellow
business men that IL is 10 their interest TO
combine, we see them abandoning cOmpe-
tition for cooperation, as rapidly as it is
possible to make such q great revolution
True, he may have had to resort to some
pretty harsh measures to command re-
spect and obedience, and he may have to
continue such treatment with some of his
dull and stubborn scholars, but we all
know the old adage, Spare the rod and
spoil the child"
Now, if the people would only learn
the lesson, as learn it they must, that
Rockefeller is trying to teach them, they
would stop their weak and foolish efforts
to "bust the trusts and would try TO
make them big enough SO that ali Of us
could be interested in them. and thus be
able TO share with Rockefeller and would
quit calling him bad names. In union
there is strength" and. as it took op-
preston to make our fOrefatheTs establish
more perfect union, politically, so ap-
parently it is requiring the same thing to
make us do likewise, economically.
Broadly speaking, selhshness, or self
interest, always has been. and always will
be. the great handspring Of hunlan effort.

effort to force the complete restoration of
the city wells to normal service, as they
have been doing ever since the founda-
ton of our country at large. and OF
Washington in particular.
Water supply Is the first essential. and
its location determines the influx of pop

The board of health tells US what is
happening to the people in the meantime
in the increased mortuary reports, pre-
sumably in the loss of the water service
from the wells.
The service Of the wells has been no
haphazard experiment; it is an attested
service OF Biblical. as well as more mod
ern times; it is a standing reflex of neces-
sity down the ages to this year
Of grace 1907, in the Capital City OF the
greatest nation on earth.
And here the continuous chapter ends
with an abruptness that is startling TO
civilization; it ends in the destruction Of
the wells in this great city, at the behest
of its chief rulers. in a squirt of illustrated
arbitrary power without a precedent in
history. or pang OF regret at the inhu-
man results. A. NJ. BROWN.

Hours of Firemen.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Although building mechanics have re-
duced their working hours TO forty-four
per week, and government clerks work
only thirty-eight and one-half hours, the
members OF the local fire department are
compelled to be on duty an average OF
about 119 hours each week. more than
three times as long as a clerk, and nearly
three times as long as a hod-carrier. The
Commissioners doubtless claim that this
condition OF affairs cannot be remedied
with the present small force of men
available; being from Missouri, need TO
be shown why Il cannot. There are an
average of twelve men 20 a company
With three men absent for meals, and
three more on day eff and leave the
available strength Of the company is re-
duced for the greater part Of the day TO
six men. Now, il these six men are suf-
ficient at any time. then why not all the
time? Therefore by splitting the force
into two twelve-houT sections, the hours
Of those who are on duty at night can be
reduced 20 eighty-four per week. and
the day force can be drawn on for the
''theater detail" requiring but little
more time a week for each man.
Old fogy officials claimed that an eight
hour day was impossible for the police
department, but Maj Sylvester. by APP
plying a little business principles 70 the
problem, found it easy Of solution, and
without any additional force at that.
There can be no better time 20 give the
twelve-hOuT day a trial than the present.
There are about twenty extra men, who
were appointed for houses not yet COM
pleted and who are scattered around
among the different companies Besides
these, there are a number OF appoint
ments provided for which have not yet
been made With this force divided into
two twelve-hour sections there would be
as many. OF more. men available at all
hours Of the day and night as there are
under ordinary conditions, during the

Pay of Enlisted Men


Editor The Washington Herald:
At a recent meeting held by the Dis
trict Of Columbia Department, Spanish
War Veterans. at G. a. r. Hall. this
city, that organization indorsed unani-
mously a recommendation for an increase
Of pay for the enlisted men Of the army,
navy. and Marine Corps. At a meeting
held by Porter Garrison. of the Army
and Navy Union, last Friday night.
similar Endorsement OF Senator Dicks ef-
forts on behalf of the enlisted men were
enthusiastically commended. 1t is the
purpose. so I am informed, that the na-
tional bodies of the Spanish War Vet

and other organizations growing out of
the Spanish-American war. together with
the Army and Navy Union, viii petition

That our enlisted men should receive
more pay, no patriotic citizen will deny.
Those Of US members Of patriotic vet
eran soldier organizations, having worn
the enlisted mans uniform, have some
practical knowledge OF the enlisted mans
wants and Of his privations incident to
the present small pay he receives. and
now that the sentiment is prevalent for
an increase Of pay to persons engaged In
civil hn

makers forget the men behind the
guns" for they cannot help themselves
and it is up 10 their comrades in public.

right of petition, by asking his Congress

'the veteran soldier and sailor and marine
organizations in the United States should

increase of pay TO our country's defend

committees 10 which this bill will be re-

of the former enlisted men. men who

Official Vandalism"

Editor The Washington Herald:
IN a public meeting held July Il, the
destruction of the town pumps was brand
ed an act of official vandalism" and the
resolution stands as a matter Of record
to be read by the world.
To afford-a basis for understanding the
animus of. that resolution and all sub
sequent action by the outraged people OF
this city. 1 desire to submit a verbatim
copy of the petition signed and presented
in behalf Of the Sixth street well by more
than 4oO patrons and friends. Other wells
were on an equal footing:
To the District Commissioners:
Whereas it is announced through the public press
that the town wells Of the city 10 be taken out
entirely and thousands Of people who patTCnize them
are TO be deprived Of one Of taeir greatest and
most valued blessings. and whereas this step

T0red spring water. filtered unhltered. from
any cause whatsoever, is regarded an infringe
ment Of the rights Of thousands Of men, women,
and children who paronize these wells summer
and winter;
Therefore. The undersigned citizens and residents
Of Washington ID. c.,

We protest emphatically against any Interference
with this vel whenever or by whomsoeves advised.
This petition and all other appeals were
ruthlessly ignored, and the decree went
forth the wells must go" Let US see
the results:
I. An expected increase OF intemperance.
