AS TO SPECIAL PROVIDENCE.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sf: In the interview with Mr.. II. H. Rogers.
punished in The Tribune to-day he says that he is
a Sreat believer in Providence" and gives as the
reason for, or illustration OF. his faith the
Following: Take for instance, the history of the
petroleum. development of the world. II is full OF
providentai happenings
MI Rogers might have used some proof that
would have been more convincing than this at
tempt TO make Providence responsible for the ON
Irust but he perhaps. like many others, sees an
"mhlpotent and orniscient hand only In those
ungS that benefit himself
The belief in Providence is very general. Mr..
Rogers has innumerahla company, and yet there
may be wide difference between him and the
masses Of the people. Among the latter the most
Strlklng providentia! events Of recent times nave
been the election of Mr. Roosevelt President and
the policy he has pursued towards certain corpora
tionS and trusts, especially the Oil Trust. Does
MI Rogers see in these things the hand OF the
power in which he says he believes? Perhaps not.
His claim that the development of the Oil Trust
has been providentiaI is like that Of Mr. Baer, OF
the Reading Railroad. that the property interests
of the earth have been divinely intrusted to Ger
tain gentlemen. WILTON SCOTT LYTI4EA
