Anent John p.

The reaaon John d. Rockefeller
is restoring such large portion Of
his fortune to the public use is not
that he is more moral ur benevol-
ent than other muitimillionHires.
1t is simply that he has been in
flnenced by public opinion and the
advancing spirit Of the age. The
race consciousness is growing up
to the point where 1t recognizes
tie fact that no one man can live
unto himself alone. Rockefeller
is living embodiment Of that
growing consciousness.
This advanced race conscious
ness finds partial expression in the
growing tendency among great
capitalists to recognize their en-
ployes as part of the institution.
This consciousness finds expression
in the juvenile court work, In the
making of better co, ditions for
criminals SO that they may have TN
opportunity to work and reform
themselves by education.
The incorporation Of tie Rookie
Teller Foundation is one of the
significant signs Of the times. 1t
foreshadows the coming of state
Of society where there is much
wider recognition of universal Un-
ity, and the spirit Of cooperation
between the various members OF
society. Rockefeller is the great
pioneer in the evolution of this
new condition of affairs. 1t may
be that he is an unconscious in
strument in the handsof this great
evolutionary force. Or it may be
that lie is more fully conscious of
the real foundation which he is
constructing than the people at
large have given him credit for.
We are nearing the point where
the race will be ready to cooperate,
not as a matter Of necessity, not
simply for the purpose of defence
or because it is necessity Of exist
ence, but because we see that in
that direction lie vastly greater
happiness and development along

Alone she faces death in fight
That life may he upon the earth,
Sole priestess Of the ancient rite,
The primal mystery Of birth.
Her hand, our cropping lips that guides
To find their nurture ut her breast,
Through all the ears sustains, decides,
Prevents, and holds us to our best.
Her smile, Madonna-like and pure,
She on her sleeping babe doth bend,
Is still the steadfast lamp and sure
That lights our livesfrom end to end.
Her tear, dear pearls of price, that fall
For pity Of our childish pain,
In manhood are the balm for all
Our wounds aud make us whole again.
Let her, the fever and the fuss
Forsaking. bear her pant again,
10 mother us and marry us
And, first and last, TO make US men!
