can be satisfied far short of the point
reached by the big men of the indus
trial world of today. But they con-
tinue to toll at their desks because
they love achievement, for the keen
delight in creating where nothing was,
and some time, believe, people will
be convinced that they are toiling for
love of country as we'll.
81 suppose I might have converted
my interests into gold at one time and
have taken my money to England or
some pleasant part of Europe where
life is organized to make things COM
Portable for the man with money to
spend. But, do you know, that way OF
escape from the responsibilities and
embarrassment that wealth brings to
an American never occurred to me.
The United States cannot develop
enough drawbacks to make me lose the
feeling that there is no place like
home, and that this is home, in what
I firmly believe is the greatest country
of the world

SCORES HIS OIL KING BROTHER
Rockefeller, the Younger, Says His
BiIIionaire Brother is a
Monster lnhuman.

In a recent interview DR.. Biggar,
physician to John D. Rockefeller,
made the boast that the oil king was
in excellent health and, barring acct
dents, should live to be as old as his
father who is now ninety-four.
But where is Rockefeller, the elder?
If he is alive, and DR.. Biggar's state
ment would seem to confirm the general
impression that he is, where does he
keep himself and how does he live?
Only four people, the four Rookie
Teller children, are in position to
throw any light on this interesting
question and they for reasons best
known to themselves refuse absolutely
to reveal anything regarding the great
secret,
The New York World has been delv-
ing into the puzzle, and in a sensa-
tional article published last Sunday
gives to the world what it claims is an
authorized interview with the billion
aires youngest brother, Frank. Mr..
Rockefeller's statement is as follows:
"My father is alive and we'll. He is
dependent on no man. He would scorn
the proffer of financial aid from John
D. and would not take it from me.
"There is reason why I cannot, at
this time, tell you where he is. In a
few weeks or months I will be ready to
tell story that will amaze and horrify
the whole world.
''No one yet knows that am writ
ing the story, the real history of John
D. Rockefeller's life. When l make
that story public and explain the facts
about father, this country will be too
warm for it's richest citizen.
$50 ask John D. where our father
is. Tell him that 1 sent you and that
[ dare him to answer.
"John D. is not a human being. He
is monster, merciless in his greed,
pitiless in his cold inhuman passions. y

Horace Mann once said that great
wealth is misfortune, because it
makes generosity impossible. There
can be no generosity where there is
no sacrifice; and man who is worth
million of dollars, though he gives
half of it away, no more makes sacri-
fee than a dropsical man, whose skin
holds hogshead of water, makes a
sacrifice when he is tapped for a bar
rel. He is in healthier condition
after the operation than before.

The plan suggested by Secretary
Root to change the constit utions by
rulings of the courts, so that the states
May be deprived of the powers which
they reserved to themselves, would be
as dangerous to the Union as to the
states. The United States owes it's
strength, it's vigor and its existence to
the states which compose it. If the
states are enfeebled, the United States
will be enfeebled. 1t is not likely that
this great country could hold together
as an empire with all the real power
in one central government. 1t would
inc vitably fall to pieces, and all at
tempt to centralize and unduly increase
the powers of the United States would
likely result in dissolution. The
: growth of the country in population
and wealth and the increased import
ance of it's foreign relations, the vast
enlargement of the revenues of the
federal government and the expansion
of interstate commerce and the postal
service have all combined to promote
the relative Importance of the federal
authority as compared with that of the
individual state. The result of the
war was to settle the contention about
the right of state to withdraw from
the Union. But the scheme of govern
ment has been unaltered from the be-
ginning and nothing has happened to
change it.-Baltimore Sun.

A movement has begun in St. Jo-
seph. Michigan, the birthplace of Ben
King, to erect a monument to his mem
ory, that will have the unique distinc-
ton of being the first tribute Of its
kind to be paid to dead humorist.
Kings most widely known bit Of verse
is this:
If should die tonight
And you shouldcome to my cold corpse
and say,
Weeping and heartsick DER my life
If I should die tonight
And you should come in deepest grief
and woe
And say, ''Here's that ten dollars that
owe'
I might arise in my large white cravat
And say, "What's that?"
If I should die tonight
And you should come to my cold corpse
and kneel,
Clasping my bier to show the grief
you feel
| say, II l should ole tOnlgnt
And you should come to me, and there
and then
just even hint bout paying me that
ten,
[ might arise the while;
But I'd drop dead again.

The Palsy Of connestIon.

IL Is not alone freight rates that bring
palsied conditions to trade and COM
merce. The freight congestion brings the
greater and the longer enduring nsIsv
ana the railway interests, no less than
commercial and manufacturing interests
are now appreciative of the fact
Great and beneficial though the ev-
tension of railway facilities may be, and
are they have been physically and abso-
lutely unable to comply with the demands
or the wonderful development of all in
terests in the United States. Their Of
ficials frankly admit the fact and are
turning to the inland waterway as the
means of relief from freight congestions
than which there could be nothing more
completely detrimental to trade and COM
merce.
The fact that President James ]. Hin
OF the Northern Pacific, and President
Finley of the Southern railway have ac-
oepted invitations to address the Ma
tional Rivers and Harpors congress, at
its meeting at the New Willard, Wash
ington, on Dec. T. 5 and 6, and will aid
in the work of the congress in bringing
about fixed national policy OF inland
waterway and harbor improvements. is
in itself one of the strongest possible
arguments in favor OF the adoption OF
that policy by the Congress OF the United
states The two gentlemen recognize the
existence of a condition which the rail-
ways cannot meet but which can only
be met by the canalization OF the inland
waterways 1t is a condition which the
whole country has long appreciated, but
a condition which can be made to pass
away for all time by systematic work OF
inland waterway and harbor improve
ment with annual appropriations in
amounts that will insure continuous
prosecution of the work, speedy compile
tion and full relief from the palsy which
freight cOngestions have brought about.

Men OF this kind become lawbreakers
without realizing the fact. There we're
many others who broke the law because
they intended to. They have had to
learn by sharp experience that the law
is supreme, and that before IT the poor
man and the rich man, the small organi-
zation and the great corporation. are on
a basis Of exact equality.
Ihe whole purpose of recent legislation
anu government action in dealing with
great organizations has been to enforce
sound business methods, and. instead OF
attacking property, to protect it: to make
snch gross inndelties to trusts as have
come to light during the last three Years
impossible; and to compel, by law and bv

Do II Now.

Thanksgiving being over, the next duty
is to heed the admonition: do your
Christmas shopping early" 1t will save
worry and confusion and a general mem
tai upset for those who do this, and it
will enable them to welcome the ap-
proach of Christmas in a sane and rea-
sonable spirit, The tendency everywhere
is to make it easy for buyers OF holiday
goods to do their shopping early and the
Brattleboro stores are no exception. The
advertising columns of The Phoenix to-
day bear witness TO the fact that the
stocks of holiday and seasonable mer-
chandise are already complete, and that
nothing can be gained by waiting to join
in a general scramble and hurry two or
three weeks later.

The Vermont lde q For
SAVINGS Banks

The Ludlow Tribune thinks that the
idea of Savings banks keeping Yer
mont money at home will appeal to
Vermonters. In commenting on this
particular feature of the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany of Hyde Park, it says:
Last Thursday this bank passed the million
dollar mark in its assets-and not a single
cent of it invested outside of Vermont. So
distinctively a Vermont flavor naturally ap-
peals to the taste of Vermonters, because it
smaeks of level headed management and q
safety which is quite assuring. CongTstula'
tions are certainly in order.
This bank pays per cent. COM

Several years ago a certain newspaper
published in town famous for its
graveyard, asked the question is Yer
mont the great murder state?' and then
proceeded to hold up this commonwealth
as a frightful example in its homicidal
tendency. This kind Of argument was
without rhyme or reason. as shown at
the time, and fresh proof Of Nermont's
low percentage Of murders is furnished
in a recent government report on "pris-
oners and juvenile delinquents.' Mas
sachusetts takes the highest rank OF
all the states, having but four imprison-
ments for murder to 100000 Of population
while Vermont comes next with 4.30.
New England as a whole ranks well,
with Rhode Island SO and New Hamp-
shire 54. Arizona territory has the
black end of the line with SO for each
100 600 of population.

The Nobel literary prize which will be
awarded to Rudyard Kipling is valued
at $4,000. No man. however great. is
always at his best. but it is seldom that
such extremes Of quality are found in an
authors writings as Mr.. Kipling has dis
played. The New York World recognizes
this when it speaks Of his "dreary verse
and "drearicr prose, and then adds:
But the pen that perpetrated this stuff
has also the double distinction Of having
put on paper both the finest imaginative
verse and thN finest imaginative and de-
scriptive prose written in the English
language in more than one generation.
This is his achievement which well de-
serves the prize"
