ROCKEFELLER'S ADVICE
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Whatever may be thought of the busi- ness methods whereby MT. John D. Rockefeller has been enabled to accumu- late the greatest fortune ever amassed by mortal man, 1t must be admitted that his private life has been exemplary and that he has done much to excuse the mon- strous magnitude of his possessions by the uses that he has made of them. He has indulged in none of the ostentatious extravagances which the plutocrat is apt to affect. So far from seeking notoriety he has until very lately tried to withdraw himself from the public view with all the modesty of the shrinking violet and now that he has overcome some of his natural reluctance to appear under the limelght he has been entertaining his fellow citizens with series of disclosures about his views and habits which, if not invariably convincing, arc full of edifica- tion and interest.
 He talks in his most recent interview about his manner of life, and what he says is really, under the circumstances. very well worth reading and profitable to ponder very seriously. Here is a man rich beyond the widest dreams of avarice, with an income greater than that of many by no means unimportant states. who is content and happy to pursue the simple
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-06

life and to confine his strictly personal expenditures within the most moderate bounds. His wants, he tells us have all ways been comparatively few and well within his income. Frugal at first from necessity, he has remained frugal from choice, and his table today is practically the same as it was when he was still at the struggling stage of his astonishing g career. It may be said that there is much virtue in practically" that this modifying phrase may be made to cover a tolerably wide divergence, but If Mir Rockefeller is to be believed-and there Is no good reason why he should wish to misrepresent the facts-this is not the case.
 He has admitted the public to know the details of his daily menu. and 1t seems from what he says that he eats the same food as the great majority of people in what are called moderate circumstances Upon this point he makes some sensible remarks. He says that he has always eaten plain food simply cooked. and he expresses the opinion that most Ameri- cans eat too much and that many modern ailments are attributable to this cause. Acknowledging that he may have old fashioned ideas, he thinks that if people lived simpler. saner lives, better he<lth and greater happiness would be the re- suit.
 That is scarcely a debatable proposition.

present administration have been healthy and sound but the methods adopted in their application have been hurtful, caus- ing shrinkage of values, and contributing to the falling off of business. While the treatment was heroic" he adds, i've could rot overlook the fact that probably mild CT methods would not have accomplished what was necessary for the healthy re- form of some of our business conditions. Under this leadership and policy, which was inaugurated to correct rather than to disturb business, the politicians of diff ferent sections of the country took ad- vantage of the situation and, aided by disclosures of excesses In corporate man. agement, carried the agitation to a point where the American people were arrayed against the institutions of the country and which led to the enactment of unnec
 essary and radical laws President Roosevelt should not be held responsible for these objectionable laws, although they may have partly resulted from his efforts to correct abuses which have been eliminated from our business methods. On the contrary, he should be given due credit for what he has accomplished in the direction of the regulation of ratl- roads through the enforcement of laws heretofore allowed to go unenforced, and the enactment of new laws. The Hepburn act Is not burdensome; on the contrary, the provision for imprisonment for grant ing or receiving rebates or discriminations In favor of one shipper against another has met with the approval of both the railroad managers and the public; the re- quirement for uniform accounting by the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-06

railroads is in the right direction, and the policy of publicity through reports to the interstate commerce commission has been rrompt, comprehensive, and productive of good results.
 Al this has been accomplished in comparatively short time. The country should now rest from further regulative or restrictive laws until the railroads can adjust themselves to a compliance with those which have been enacted. This can be done through cooperation of the rail roads with the interstate commerce com- mission and effectually establishing work ing arrangements with the government so as to give the laws a fair. practical test in order to demonstrate their efficiency. If they are found to be inadequate, 1t will be comparatively easy to change or modify them to fit the emergency, with fairness both to the railroads and to the public, and thus the greatest measure of good will be achieved

river it would have more than double It's present mileage to aid its development The necessity for this additional mileage is becoming more evident every day, as II is being demonstrated that the heretofore considered arid regions of the west are being located and developed by farmers who are proving their productiveness through advanced methods of cultivation; through irrigation from artesian supplies and the storage of the heretofore wasted waters of the surface and the melting snows from the mountains. until there is a comparatively small area where the grazing lands of the past are not beconi- ing the farming lands of the future. ..This increased mileage west of the Mississippi not only means the develop ment of the rapidly growing country, but with 1t will come the deepening of the waterway of the Mississippi river. Ocean steamers then may come 300 miles farther into the interior and 800 miles nearer to the productive fields of the farmers, and instead of crowding the cars containing these products Into the already congest- ed terminals of the gulf and Atlantic seaports the river will furnish one con- tlnuous terminal from St. Louis to New orleans, where the commerce tributary for 1000 miles can be transferred from the cars to ships destined to every country in the world with which we may enjoy trade relations. And in this connection I wish to say that the railroads of this country are not as far as my knowledge extends, opposed to, but are In favor of, inc improvement of our waterways to aid and economize in the movement of traf- f1c."5

Better Fitted Than Amy Other Country,
Says Chinese Editor.
Paris, Aug. 2O.-Li Sum Ling, the
Chinese editor of the China Mail, who
originated the idea of an alliance be-
tween the United States and China,
during an interview affirmed that Chi
ma is the logical ally of the United
States, and declared that Germany was
not fitted for an alliance with the Unit
ed States and that she would be unable
to render help in the East. Further,
he declared, an alliance with Ger
many would arouse the hostility of
Japan and Great Britain, the most
powerful factors in that part, of the
world. On the other hand, he contin-
ued, China would be able to afford
commercial facilities to the United
States and in the event of war, the
Chinese army would be sufficient, add
ed to the forces Of the United States,
to overbalance the powers Of Japan.
In addition, in case Great Britain 8
treaty obligations forced her to join
with Japan, the German anti English
sentiment, Lii Sum Ling declared, GER
tainly would lead Germany to throw
her sword in the balance and dictate
the result of the struggle.

TOO MUCH IDLE MONEY
Postal Savings Banks Urged as Means to

was invested last year in money orders

made them payable to themselves as
means of saving their money, instead
of placing it in the banks" declared

postal inspector, in an address before
the convention of the Presidential
Postmasters' Association of California,
in which he advocated the establish
ment of postal savings banks.
Chief Inspector Mcmillan asserted
that this IS per cent represented the
money that is boarded, which will
quickly pour innto the postal savings
banks if they are established. He
pointed out that TT banks were
not inimical to rcial and
other savings banks, ne former
would deposit their funo- with local
banks and thereby put into circulation

Johnson RENOMINATED
Minnesota Democrats Refuse to Accept
mo" for an Answer.

Minneapolis, Aug. Ex-Governor
John A. johnson was renominated for
governor by the democratic state con-
vention. Following the mention of
his name by Mayor Lawler, of st. Paul,
the convention stampeded for John
son. A wild demonstration ensued.
Standards were waved and the dele
gates, headed by brass band,
marched through the hall. A messen-
ger was sent to notify the governor
by telephone. The return of the mes
senger was awaited with suspense, as
the governor previously had stated
emphatically that he would not run
again. The convention, however, per-
sisted in ignoring the declaration.
AS an evidence of the almost unan-
unity of feeling for Johnson the hall
was conspicuously decorated with
Johnson's portraits and during the ex-
element these were torn down and
waved by both spectators and dele
gates.

SAFETY APPLIANCE
LAWS HELD VALID

st. Louis, Aug 25.-Two sweeninc
opinions, noteworthy in that the decis.
ions of the lower courts were reversed
in full in each instance, have Just been
handed down by the United States
court of appeals here, sustaining the
position of The government against the
railroads in the matter of safety appli.
ance laws. The cases decided were
those of the government against the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
and Of the government against the Den.
yer & Rio Grande Railway Company.
In both of these decisions the court
of appeals abrogates the common law
rules Of reasonable care" that have
heretofore governed, and behind which
the railroads sought shelter, and up
holds in full the acts of congress,
which, the opinions hold, now totally
supplant the common law rules In
the two cases decided different grounds
Of defense were tried, that the rail.
roads might contest against the safety
appliance acts from every possible
point. The Denver & Rio Grande case
was argued before the lower court on
demurrers, while the Santa Fe case
was tried by jury. The railroads
won both decisions in the lower courts.

rule of law under the acts Of congress
