Our Capitalists.
New Orleans Item.

New Orleans Item.
It has often struck us that the very
evident desire Of the general reading
public in the United States to know
Ill that can be learned about the
great captains Of industry, our iron,
steel, pork. railroad, and "oil kings"
ID something more than mere curios-
1ty about strange celebrities. Some
times we have suspected a desire to
learn how the trick Is done; for every
American boy is taught nowadays the
pleasing fiction that he may one day
be a captain of finance. AS a rule,
however. public curiosity which is so
universal az to amount almost to a
national instinct has a better reason
for its existence and expresses a far
deeper impulse.
Professor Guglielmo Ferrero, the
Roman historian, writing in LIE Figaro
Of Paris. after his recent visit to this
country, throws out a suggestion
which may explain why the public de-
mapds and the great CAPTAINS supply
such Information as one gets from the
"Reminiscences Of John D. Rockefeller.
now running serially in The Item.
The historian writes:
"Mr. Morgan came to the Tavern
Club dinner: Mr.. Carnegie writes
books and constantly allows reporters
to interview him: Mr.. Rockefeller con-
tributes his autobiography
and his SON breaches morals in the
schools. AS the great capitalists in
America monopolize certain functions
that In Europe belong to the State; as
they have the supreme and almost
Independent control of several great
public services. such as banking and
transportation which in Europe are
locked after by the State, this democ-
racy assumes to ward them the rights
more Of less analogous to those It
assumes toward party leaders and
cabinet officers. It wants to know
what they are doing, how thew live.
