is 1T BRIBERY?

is JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER at
tempting to bribe the American
~ nation? And is he trying to make
the Rockefeller family permanently
and baronially powerful in the United
States? In Washington there is being
developed and manifested what might
be termed an ethical opposition to the
legalization of the Rockefeller founda-
ton. Mr.. Rockefeller practically asks
a charter under which he and his heirs
will be enabled perpetually to handle
the Rockefeller money. on the Rookie
feller foundation will be established
the Rockefeller family, as firmly as
any European privileged family is es-
tablished on concession, foundation or
hereditary transmission of unearned
wealth or title. Even if America should
lend itself to the scheme of establishing
a family in circumstances that would
give Mr.. Carnegie a good opening for
the first chapter of a book on "Tri-
umphant Plutocracy." the national
sanction would not eXonerate the ma
tional conscience from participation in
lQe CduSeS WHICH pluuuNGu lllS AC-
markable Rockefeller fortune.
Violation of law, violation of busi-
ness morals, violation of Americanism,
violation of the Golden Rule, violation
of several of the Ten Commandments,
are only some of the violations charged
against those responsible for the Rock
efeller millions. Is the country to in
dorse and approve these violations?

guilty of conspiring to restrain trade

decision of the lower court is under
review by the supreme court Of the
United States, and If it should be af

Jews Are FaSt Regaining
Possession of Palestine
CNew York Sun.D

Mount CarmeD Jews are reckoned by
tens of thousands. Towns like Ra-
moth Gilead. Bethlehem, Nazareth and
GAIA, where a few years ago no Jew
dared show his face, have now their
Jewish quarters and synagogues.
The whole city OF Jerusalem is essen
TALLY Jewish town. Banking as well
as trade and commerce is monopolized
by Jews. The government has found It
necessary to organize a company of
Jewish gendarmes.
Hundreds of thousands of pounds are
annually sent from Europe and Amer
lea to enable the colonists to build
homes. over 100 Jewish schools al
ready exist in Jerusalem alone. Syna-
gogues are rising up everywhere.
The value Of the land has risen four
fold. The ignorant and poverty
stricken fellaheen (peasants) are being
ousted from their homes and villages
by the European Jew settler, whose
modern agricultural implements and
methods have made the land produce
harvests never dreamed of by the ma
tives. The Anglo Palestine company,
a Zionist banking and commercial en-
terprise. is pushing the cause OF Israel
with energy.

LOAN SHARKS

7 INDICATIONS are the loan sharks
have been eliminated from public
Il life. city employees are now
drawing their own pay warrants, and
the city no longer is subject to the
humiliation of having its money pass
into the possession of men who toll
not, but live by their wits and their
fnanciering ability.
1t has always been easy for a vic
tim to obtain a small advance by trans
ferring to the loan sharks the power
to draw the victims wages. And vic
tim he surely was because he invari-
ably had to pay far more for his loan
than il was worth. The influence of
the loan sharks has been demoralizing,
and it is well that influence has been
done away with.

DEGREES CONDITIONS THAT
PREVAIL DURING STRIKE

LONG BEACH, March 9,-LEditor
Herald1: When we consider the quiet
and silence that reign throughout the
land we can but wonder whether the
heads of the 30O00,OO0 working people
OF the United States are filled with
brains or macaroni.
In Philadelphia a fight is in progress
"a struggle between man and money.
On the one hand is a company seeking
profit. dividends-dollars only. On the
other are a number of men seeking
life and some small measure of life's
necessities. That company and the Of
ficials it put in office are responsible
for every act of violence, for every
crime committed, for every death, every
wound, every drop of blood spilled
since the strike began. And yet we
fail to offer protest against the light
handed, murderous, villainous actions
of Philadelphia's officials.
Last night a number of strike break
ers drove a car up and down Frank
fort avenue, shooting at the pedestrians
who were peaceably walking along the
sidewalks. Six persons, one OF them a
young girl, were wounded.

CORRESPONDENTS

n RESIDENT TAFT'S public sneer
at the statesmen correspondents"
n of Washington shows he has not
been impervious to expert criticism.
We say expert" criticism because the
gentlemen referred to sneeringly by
President Taft as statesmen corre-
spondents" really and truly deserve the
title It is not with the least suspi-
cion of sarcasm we say some of them
know more about the business of the
United States than most cabinet mem
bers. Men who have been on duty In
the national capital from five TO thir-
ty years cannot help becoming "eX-
ported" on national business, and not
infrequently they have a far keener
perception of the trend of public af-
fairs than have some of the new or
recent" officials. Besides it should
never be forgotten the onlooker sees
most of the game.
A skilled Washington correspondent
by talking with men representing
every branch of the government can
get a far clearer and more reliable
view of the general government than
can any routine man whose attention
is confined to one department.
1t is astonishing TO find Taft talking
slightingly of any newspaper men,
because he was in the newspaper bus
mess long enough to realize the extra
ordinary difficulties and handicaps
with which a correspondent is sur
rounded, especially in Washington,
where, to alter somewhat the words of
a familiar poem, Liars to right of
him, liars to left of him, liars in front
of him, volley and thunder"

OBSOLETE ADJECTIVES

IN HERE are some stock phrases
which are done to death, and
II should be decently buried and
forgotten. One is "phlegmatic Eng
lishmen," applied by a contemporary
to some of the Britons who have civ
ilized the Soudan or, at any rate, con-
ventionalized it. Englishmen, Irish
men, Scotsmen, Welshmen, born and
trained in one or other Of the islands
of the United Kingdom, go everywhere,
and brave every kind of danger In or
der to extend the trading sphere of
the manufacturing islands. For mar
kets, the men of the United Kingdom
roam the world over, and when terri
tory which seems to them to possess
economic or trading advantages is
seizable, they seize it.
The people Of the United Kingdom,
many of whom are Englishmen, are by
far the most restless in the world to-
day. Phlegnatic means sluggish,
dull and Indifferent" We would hesi-
tate to apply the word to the English
or any other residents and pioneers of
"a frontier land won by hard fighting,
for such an application would be ri
diculous. Isn't it time we got away
from tradition and down to facts with
regard to the modern Englishman?
Witty Irishman? Yes, many irish
men are witty. But they have not q
monopoly Of wit; and there are no
thrlftier or "cannier" human beings
in the world than the Irish,
"Canny' Scot? Yes, some Scots are
canny; but lonely graves in every part
of the world indicate enterprise
amounting to rashness, while even in
money matters there are more free
handed than "canny" Scots
"Phlegmatlc" Englishman? Oh, no.
1t won't do.

Throwing herself upon the street 10

was ruthlessly ridden down by the
mounted police. And every day since
the strike began an average of 100
day of the men, women and chlldreh
OF Philadelphia have been seriously
wounded from the bullets or clubs OF
the officers. And, all told, less than 20
ner cent of the wounded have been
either strikers or related to the strikers.
John Hughes, young business man.
was shot dead by policeman.
Alfred Sellers. boy of H. was beaten
and crippled for life by policemen
Marie Devlan, girl of Is, was
on her way to work when shot down
by police officers. That she was the
only support of her family matters
little.
Viola Bevans, aged IL, while going on
an errand, was shot through the head
by a policeman's rifle.
Last Sunday Catherine Conroy was
quietly going home from Sunday school
when trampled down by policemen S
horses.
Mary Whelan, little girl of 10, was
shot down by policemen. But what OF
these and the hundreds of other similar
cases? What of the heartache and
despair of the bereaved and poverty
stricken parents? Human life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness are for
eign words to modern money making.
Let the craven policemen kill; let the
workingmens families go hungry; let
corrupt judges sit upon the bench; let
foul politicians deal out death and
despair at the behests Of their bosses;
let children wall so long as corpora
ton can clear dividends.
All these things have happened and
are still happening in Philadelphia,
the "City of Brotherly Love-" after
nineteen centuries of Christian civil
ization. How long, oh Lord, how long
will these things continue?

Oakland Enquirer.)

~ PEAKING of the high cost of liv-
ing, which is still disturbing the
~ people Of the United States, re-
minds one of the condition of affairs
that exists in Detroit, Mich. Detroit Is
on the Detroit river, which connects
Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The
river in front of Detroit is considerably
less than half a mile wide; and only
half a mile away, on the other side Of
the river, opposite Detroit, is Windsor,
ont. In the United states, where De
troit is. we have a high protective
tariff: and over in Canada where Wind
sor is. the tariff Is, compared with
ours, very low. Now the Cannons and
the Aldriches. who drew our tariff law,
insist that the tariff has nothing to do
with the prices of things. Remember
ing that there Is a high tariff in De-
troit and low tariff in Windsor, only
a half mile away just cast your eye
over the following table of prices for
necessities in the two places:

Now, do you wonder that lot OF
Detroit people sneak over to windsor
and smuggle their provisions across the
river? And do you wonder that the
Detroit people feel sick when they buy
a suit of real woolen clothes over In
Windsor for, say s25 and then have to
pay another S25 or 100 per cent to get
back into the United States with It?
But then, you know, the trusts and the
Cannons and the Aldrichs all stoutly
maintain that the tariff has nothing
to do with the high cost Of living in the
United States. But the tariff and half
a mile of water are the only difference
between Detroit, in the United States
of America, and Windsor, in the Do
minion Of Canada. So, if it isn't the
tariff, it must be that half mile of
water that makes the difference In
prices of the necessities mentioned in
the above table. you pays your
money and you takes your choice
the tariff or the Detroit river.

why do many statesmen run chances
of going to prison in order TO get
wealth when merely by legislation they
could become wealthy? These vague
notions of economies can only be
cleared up by persistent study and ex-
plantations which would be too lengthy
for the Letter Box. Those who wish to
seriously investigate these problems
should attend the sessions of the class
on economics which meet in the hall
rear of 317 East Seventh street every
Thursday evening, where these sub
