SOME OF THE BIG RICH,
ANCIENT AND MODERN

John d. Rockefeller has given an ad-
ditional $1O,OOO,OOO to the University
of Chicago.
Coincident with this announcement
the current issue of Life" appears
with a picture showing an old man,
gaunt sunken-cheeked, staring-eyed,
over whose bald head a shrouded fig
ure holds the wreath of success, from
which there is a ribbon bearing the
insignia of wealth. the dollar mark
The features are Enthusiastically
those of John D. Rockefeller, the rich
est man the world has ever known,
perhaps, although in the classic age
Ptolemy Philadelphus is said to have
left behind a wealth estimated by
Boeckh, German statistician, at 740,-
600 talents, or about three billion
marks or $750,O00000, while the treas
ure of Cyrus was said to be 100000
talents.
Either of these treasures is greater
than that attributed to Croesus, who
drew his wealth from the golden sands
of the river Pactolus, and either OF
these amounts, if correctly stated and
estimated, are perhaps greater than
the Rockefeller treasures, but never
theless Mr.. Rockefeller is doubtless
actually richer than any of the men
Of Midas touch were of old
Also he is very old man. 1t is fur.
Their true that nothing he can give
can deprive him of anything he may
want except money itself. The vast
benefactions to Chicago university and
other schools do not take from Mr..
Rockefeller any single thing except
money and perhaps the power that
money brings. Also these benefactions
benefit Mr.. Rockefeller but little. The
old stale joke about giving ten mill
ions to the university and raising the
price Of oil one cent a gallon will
doubtless be made now as it has ever
been made after every other gift.
As matter of plain, cold fact, Mr..
Rockefeller has made oil cheaper all
over the world. l have seen Bedouins
in the deserts of Sinai and Syria using
his oil and he has literally made rivers
of oil to flow.
This is not said in justification of
Mr.. Rockefeller. The evidence seems
conclusive that he has been ruthless
in crushing competition, that he has
accepted and encouraged rebates. that
he has been merciless to other prod
ucers and that he has done more than
any other man in the history of the
world to close the gates of independ-
ent life on the small man in his lines
of business.
Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell has been unjust,
unfair, uncritical and has followed
methods Of historical research not
strictly legitimate in her attacks on
John D. Rockefeller and she has been
followed by a score of others who have
made the old man the target Of
cruelty, of malice and OF wit and have

WEALTHY ITALIAN MERCHANT
\ FOUND DEAD
Robbery Probably Was Motive-Money
in Dead Mans Pocket-Ne-
eroes Arrested.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle. ]


Austin, Texas, Dec. 23.-Frederick
Tassanari, a wealthy Italian merchant
was found murdered in his store this
morning. His head was crushed in
with a sharp stone and was nearly
severed from the body with pocket
knife, The motive is believed TO have
been robbery as the Italian kept his
money at the store instead of in bank.
The fact that $500 was found in Tas
sanarrs pocket is puzzling the police.
He was a large property owner.
Several negroes have been arrested
who are suspected of having com.
mitted the crime.

embodied in him the evils of an eco
nomic system which he but utilized.

eHuCuitu III hihi thS o'iaS Va ga Wv
nomic system which he but utilized.
John d. Rockefeller's business meth
DDS \and business conscience were
those of men of his age and period.
He was wolf in business in a herd
of wolves where the only language
was bowling and the only weapons
were bloody jaws.
Also in his religious life his relig-
ious views have been those of his
time. He has tried to advance what
he regarded as religion and 10 forward
what he esteemed as culture. That
his gifts have been conscientious gifts
Is shown by the way in which they
have persisted in the face of the crit
icism of a world of critics.
The future historian will not see in
this man either the monster of the
muckrakers or the old man bountiful
of the schools and churches.
Money is all he has and giving is all
he can do This he has tried to sup.
plement by personal work where it
was possible, but how futile the task
for the master of millions to go about
doing good unobtrusively. His son and
his daughters have taught in Sunday
schools and he and his family have
etried to serve the Lord in the good old
fashioned pioneer way of the time
when Ohio was the Middle West.
In many ways Mr.. Rockefeller has
taken away from his fellows more in
independence than he can give them
back in education and deprived them
of more in the way of cutting off the
legs of their selfsupport than he can
supply in the crutches of benevolence
In two points only Mr.. Rockefeller
rises above the average. In having a
conscience and in the power to organ
iZe industry. In this last he is the
colossus OF the last century.-B. II.

be temporarily relieved by the appli-
