JOHN D.

n UR friend, the Pacific outlook, in
an excellent, outspoken article on
" John D. and His Dough-" has
succeeded in voicing the sentiment of
the majority of the people: whats
the use of eternally sugar-coating
things? We are not going to be de-
ceived by the glare of some gold leaf,
are we? Or by the SWIVEL of a false
penitence? Rockefeller has bought up
city councils, state legislatures. courts
and congress, but he is not going to be
able to buy up the whole American
people, is he?"
Beyond reasonable doubt the his
tory of the Standard Oil company
Smells o blood" People have been
killed in order to upbuild a huge for
tune-literally killed. Many sui
cides grave bears witness against the
inhumane, un-American, cowardly
and damnable System" the memory
of which this INSCRIPTIONS business
tyrant, Rockefeller, proposes to per-
petuate by gifts bearing his name.
Never before has civilization been so
oyerbearingly insulted. Heretofore the
human race has shuddered at thought
Of immortalizing in fame, temple or
church Judas Iscariot. Herod, Nero,
Lucullus. Croesus or others who coined
their fellow mortals into money and
grabbed it. Modern civilization is
asked to take a new point of view, as
sent to the proposition the end iustifies
the means, shake hands with the red
handed when the red hands are con-
cealed in kid gloves.
Is it wise to shrive Baron Rockefeller
because he brings part of his loot to
the altar?

THINKER BELIEVES ONLY MAN
WHO WORKS is A GENTLEMAN

PASADENA, March Al Editor Her
add. In commenting upon the article
in the Letter Box of March 8, when a
communication appeared signed by a
woman who maintains the idea that
one class is created to serve another
class, it is to my regret that such a
correspondent should find space in any
newspaper. / shall take up her re-
marks one by one and thrash them
out.
First-The correspondent puts down
for her heading that one class was
created to serve another, just as if it
were manufactured, tailor-made or
something made TO order. The CORE
spondent oVerlooks the fact that the
reason we have two classes in society
is not because a certain individual
has created two classes, but simply
because it is a natural course of de-
velopment ever since humanity orig
mated. and the time is not far off when
these two classes shall have final
clash, thereby evolving society into
one class, called the working class.
Second-Our correspondent main
tains the idea that all who call them
selves ladies and gentlemen should
wear badges; and if this idea was
taken I'D there would be very few Ia
dies and gentlemen left, because it
would not be an act of the twentieth
century, but one of the fifth century,
and the correspondent would not be
going forward, but backward.
Third-The third, last and most con-
spicuous remark made by the CORE
snondent is in giving the wrong def
milton of a gentleman. She says a gem
tleman never works. On the contrary,
a. man who never works has not the
first principles of a gentleman, since
he merely watches day turn into
night and night into day. He has no
consideration for others, and, like a
bug, sits on the backs of others. Such
people are called parasites.

FALLS IN ELEVATOR CHUTE.
Ten-Year- Old Lad Has Miraculous
Escape From Death.

James, the 1O-year-old eon Of Mr..
and Mrs. George W. Brooks, fell A. feet
down a chute in the Pacific Coast ele-
vatOr in the north end last Friday and
lives to take another shoot should Oc
casion Offer. James, with several small
children, were playing in the elevator,
which is empty, climbing up ladders to
platforms or stations on which TO stand
alongside a chute leading from the floor
to the top OF the building. James is
known to have reached the AZ foot sta
tiOn, where he lost his balance and fell to
the bottom, although he may have been
higher, rendering his escape still more
miraculous. No bones were broken,
neither was there a drop of blood spilled
He must have struck on his feet, as one
OF his ankles is swelled and blackened,
showing the effects of the sudden contact.
The children with James were so badly
frightened that they scampered off, leav-
ing him piled on the floor in heap, not
saying anything about it for some time,
hence it is not known exactly how long
he lay there. 1t was feared at first that
the lad had been injured internally, but
although very sick for few days he is
now up on crutches, getting along
brayeIy.

Bainton and singing by the choir OF
LEAD, Kindly Light" At the church
the choir sang "Some Time We'll Under

The address OF Rev. BaintOD was listened
to with great interest, it being an elo-
quent tribute to the many sterling quail
tiles and patriotic impulses that were at
all times manifest IN the life Of deceased.
Floral contributions we're many and
artistically arranged, two especially, be-
ing massive, while the casket was almost
hidden by the wealth OF floral offerings.
At the grave prayer was offered and

Much Petty Thievery Going On.

1t is humiliating to have to record it,
but much petty thieverv is going on in
Colfax at this time and has been ever
since the first day OF the food Many
things damaged by food waters, or
covered with slckens waiting to be
cleaned, per necessity must be left on
porches or in back yards where pilferers,
after the shades OF evening, do not hes
itate to help themselves. Many houses,
owing to water standing in and around
them, cannot be closed, enabling thieves
to enter at will. few examples in the
way of punishment might have a salu-
tary effect.
