WHO CAUSED THE SLUMP.

At last it is known what caused
that tremendous slump in securities
1t was not the president as charged by
Wall street, nor was it the spectators
the bulls and bears. 1t was Henry H.
Rogers, the brains and head of Stand
ard Oil. He, as has been the case with
lesser men, conceived, out of his con-
tinued successes, the idea that what he
undertook must succeed. He could
not fail. He was infallible. He was a
financial genius; a Napoleon of Fin
ance.
He saw in West Virginia vast beds
of coal and forests of timber. They
were 400 miles from tidewater. If he
could own the coal beds and the tim
Der lands and build railroad to carry
their products to tidewater and thence
by vessel to market, his great fortune
would be made greater, and magazine
writer's and future writers for news
papers might some day displace Rock
efeller and put him on the richest
man in-the-world pedestal.
So he, against advice of less self
centered friends, went into the scheme.
He bought coal and timber lands by
thousands of acres. Then he organized
the Tidewater railway company, which
issued its stocks and bonds for a hun
dred million dollars or more, all guar
anteed by the magnate. Into it he
poured his wealth But, in the ex-
pressive talk of the street, he "bit off
more than he could chew" The scheme
demanded more and more money;
more than had been estimated and it
must be supplied or the great scheme
would collapse and with it the pres,
tige of the great financier.
Then to meet this imperious call,
Mr.. Rogers opened his safety vaults
and poured out onto the street a food
of good securities, stocks and bonds,
Standard Oil, railways, steel, coppers
and others, put away against rainy
day. And the torrent swept down the
street and carried down with it the
whole line of stocks, strong ones as
we'll as weak ones, and when the food
had passed the street counted up two
or three billions of paper prices that
had gone floating out to sea, Sioux

Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1907-10-11

The latest by John D. Rockefeller,
given to the public through one of
his lackeys, one Rev. Macarthur, is
that he has not retired from business
at any time during the last ten years
because he (J. d. regarded himself
as only a steward of Standard Oil
wealth, responsible to God alone for
the stewardship. He also made a
play about a great part of the wealth
belonging to widows and orphans.
When such men as Rockefeller, Baer,
and others, so far lose their mental
balance through their inordinate
greed for wealth that they imagine
they are divinely appointed custod.
ians of everything they can get their
hands on it is time that room in the
penitentiary was fitted up for their
special use. There may be a few
peanut headed fools besides them
selves who take stock in this divine
appointment business, but to the av-
erage man theft is a thief, a COM
mercial pirate is pirate still, wheth-
er or not he claims immunity through
divine appointment. A man who
takes the liberty to violate the laws
of man and sets up the divine ap-
pointment gag should be given the
limit at confinement in a dungeon.

Lye Ruins Eyeglasses.

A Ludlow woman learned by expert
ence what any chemist could have
told her, that lye will ruin eyeglasses
The woman was making soap and
splashed a drop or two Of the mixture
on her glasses.
She took a cloth and endeavored to
clean them, but was amazed to find
that all the colors of the rainbow were
reflected In the lenses No amount Of
washing would remove the colors, and
1t was necessary to get new glasses.

There has been an exptionally large
number of cases of tardiness the first

only disturbs the school, but at the
