The Poor
Poor Owners of America
BY ROBERT HUNTER

on an average make $500 a year
clear
And We must remember that the
100000 who own the railroads also
own in great part the coal, the oil,
the sugar, the beef, the harvester and
the other trusts. They not only
make $7O0,00O.0OO out of the railroads
each year, but they also make each
year many, many more millions out
OF all other great Industries.
AS matter of fact, Hartman knew
these figures as well as do, but it
seems that he preferred to beg for
more rather than tell all he knew.
And Hartman knew that millions
or workers in our industries and
millions more on the farms, invest
their lives in producing wealth, while
stockholders invest only their savings
even when they do that
But that means that thirty or forty
millions of workers IN this country
are row engaged investing their labor
and their lives piling up untold riches
for the 100000 or more stockholders.
Yet the stockholders come to The
workers and ask them to be more
generous tc them. Doesn't that seem
a bit queer?
AS matter of friendly advice, !
would suggest to these stockholders
to leave well enough alone Too
much begging might make them sus-
picious characters, and the people
might some day seize them and make
an examination of their pockets.
And if that day should ever arrive
the thirty or forty million might dis
cover that they work a great deal
and own next to nothing, and 100000
or more stockholders idle great deal
and own everything. And the peo-
pie might get mad
They might even utter some such
Socialistic words as these: Don't
give another penny to those idlers
and beggars. We're making paupers
of them. Offer them work, and he
who will not work, neither let him
eat"

! the Social Revolution is long way
on, They are either so far away from
the real significant events, or they
are so close TO them and SO much the
victims OF them that they hear not
the rumblings. Or they are so wrap
ped up in things OF their own individ-
ual struggles that the great world
events and the mass movements
about them are not being realized.
I feel as sure of victory as I do
that the sun viii rise tomorrow. And
feel that this victory will be realized
lin my time" and that thine" is
nearer-mighty nearer-than most
Socialists think.
From every quarter, among all
classes of people, We hear words OF
warning and of horror.
The slaves of capitalism are taking
on now courage, the middle class is
lost and wailing in the dark and the
monarchs of industry are trembling
with the horror of their fate.
The supreme question OF the hour
is Educate. Organize! Get ready for
the Social Revolution!

Since Towards interview with Mr.. Rockefeller,
that distinguished man has changed his attitude
toward newspaper men considerably. He learned
through this little experience and others that fol-
lowed that newspaper men rule believe in
PLAYING fair. He learned that if he met them half
way in courtesy and Kindness they more
than their half way. So in recent years he has
held himself absolutely aloof from reporters.
He receives them whenever circumstances permit
and on several notable occasions he has enter
tanned for a few hours visiting associations of
newspaper men on his estates, rubbing elbows with
them and exchanging pleasantries.
The most unusual of these occasions was the
visit of the American Press Humorists' association
to Mr.. Rockefeller. Among newspaper men,

while he held himself aloof from the public, he
was fair target for all the shafts of wit of the
funny man, and be it said, most of their fun at
his expense was unkind-the sort that stings and
hurts 1t was departure for Mr.. Rockefeller
to extend an urgent invitation to the humorsts
association therefore, to visit him and partake of
his hospitality The association accepted and en-
joyed itself immensely. Press humorists still have
fun with Mr.. Rockefeller, but with just little diff
ferent spirit than before.
1t is an interesting fact that generally the atti-
tude of newspaper toward Mr.. Rockefeller has
also undergone change. They bit more
tolerant and they deal with him more fairly.
Since Towards interview, the public has heard
of the real truth about the and less of

himself has made it possible.

Twenty-four years later the Duke of brunswick
died. He was known the mad diamond miser
and guarded his gems with numerous queer con
trivances OF guns and secret triggers. Among the
RrunsWlck diamonds was found small blue stone.
Diamond experts and authorities examined this
gem carefully and compared it with the Hope

The gem passed to Lord Francis Hope at the

Joseph Frankes Sons & Company tried to sell

unable to do and the gem lay in safe deposit

the firm serious financial setback after the panic

sum stated to have been nearly 100000. When
financial troubles came to him last July he sold
it reported in Paris that Louis Aucoc the
leading diamond expert of France, had purchased
the Hope diamond for $4,000, and that it after

who know the history of this famous gem and
have watched it's career, positive in their state

of the China the Hope blue diamond went
with him, and that in spite of the report that the
Hope blue has turned up in Paris, the mystic
fragment OF the famous French crown jewel
has found its last resting place.

Suddenly, in 1880, a
remarkable blue diamond
appeared on the market.
1t was in the possession
of Mr.. Daniel Eliason.
Aside from the state
ment that he had pur.
chased the gem from a
stranger, Mr.. Eliason
would give no informa-
ton concerning the dia-
mond. When Mr.. Henry
Philip Hope purchased
the blue gem from Mr..
Eliason. it became the
Hope diamond. and un-
suspected as part of the
lost French blue dia-
mond, it began an inter-
eSting career.

once owned it. At any rate, he acquired myster
ously such blue stone, weighing slxty-seveh ana
one quarter carats and, although history gives
other causes, the French monarch's decay set N
about that time 1t was the most valuable OF the
crown jewels when Louis XVI was beheaded IN
1893. When the royal treasure was stolen, the
particular blue diamond disappeared, some say to
appear again the Hope diamond, which came
into notice in 1880 when Daniel Eliason. London
dealer, offered for sale blue stone which he said
he had bought from stranger This was bought
by Henry Philip Hope banker of great wealth,
for 100000. He gave it to his daughter when she
married the Duke of Newcastle, and she gave 1T
to her second son, Lord Francis Hope.
But the real story of this mysterious gem be-
gins even before Louis XIV with Jean Baptiste
Tavernier, OF an Antwerp geographer. who had
settled in Paris. This man began early in life 10
travel, and before he reached the age OF twenty
five, had journeyed over practically all OF Europe
and Asia. In India, the last of eight trips to
that country, he purchased a wonderful blue da-
mond, weighing one nun red ant twelve and one
quarter carats Although Tavernier has filled his
memoirs with many interesting bits OF descrip-
ton of the eastern manner of buying and selling
diamonds he is strangely silent as to the source
of his blue gem. He mentions colo" diamonds
in connection with the Coleroon mines and from
this it is presumed that his blue stone came from
that section. At any rate, he sold the gem to
Louis XIV in 1868 So it was Tavernier, not Louis
XIV who acquired mysteriousy such blue dia
mond.
1t is suspected that because the difference in
the price Taverner paid for the diamond in India
and the price he received from Louis XIV was so
great the diamond peddler did not care to court
suspicion of dishonest profits by stating the
amount paid by the king; so he remained silent
concerning the entire transaction 1t is known
that the king purchased number of diamonds
from Tavernier for which he paid three million
francs and among them the famous blue
gem.

Every improvement club in the
city that has taken the matter up
and voted on it has declared in
favor of the municipal docks. The
people have taken the water sys-
tenn, the light system, they are
preparing to take the dock sys-
tenn and the telephone system and
as soon as possible they will take
the street railway system in this
city and they will be operated for
the people and the profits go to
the people in reduced rates and
reduced taxes.
The light department cleared
$3.50, 900 last year. The water
system also made lot of money.

profits of the city when properly

It is a matter of dollars for
