AND HOPKINS CARNEGIE
AND ROCKEFELLER.

Rich Men and Their Foolish Gifts
When Will the People Stop Them Q
Representative Tawney is of the
Right Kind.
To the Editor 1T has frequently
been noted that following Rockefel-
ler's gifts the price OF Standard Oil
has advanced. Unkind people have
noted it and said that that's the way
the Oil King gets his money back.
Give to the sleek colleges and pamp-
cred charities huge fortunes and come
back on the common people for the
funds. That's the way the people
have to be humbugged. There should
be a public protest against it all, and
Rockefeller and all others of his kind
should be called upon to give the peo-
pie simple justice and find that after
ward they would not have so much
with which to play LADY bountiful."
But what Rockefeller does ON a
huge scale lesser lady bountifuls may
do also. 1t is well known that the
Johns Hopkins University has been
calling loud and often for funds. The
other day some coffee men of Balti-
more Clipped in their thousands. A
Lew 1dIC1 IL was duuOuACCu ludL
coffee had gone up several cents per
pound. So there we are in the same
old trap. The man that works for a
to the Hopkins, while he won't get a
puff in the papers nor his portrait
there either.
Carnegie's 100000 for world
peace is another abomination. All
hot fc Sc IN toll
himself if possible. He wants his
end of time, Ii possible. IL he,
aires are going to keep on a little
further in the directions they have
been travelling, their fame and their
outraged masses. Look at the 'Foun-
dations" recently founded by these
two men, What are they already but
national nuisances? They have great
lot of paid subordinates purposely
travelling around the country bother
ing everybody for data and maddening
everybody with their reports.
As soon as I heard of the Carnegie
peace fund 7 dashed off some letters
| to papers, thinking that I would be
pass
ridicule and condemnation upon 1t,
but 7 now see others looming up,
among them the great philanthropist
Joseph Fels, OF Philadelphia. Car
negie has arranged for Mr.. Root and
the seven other trustees of his fund
to have very good time over it, and
after their death for others OF their
kind to take their places; each and
every one of them to keep the An
drew Carnegie name ever aloft- They
will do that, while their near and dear
friends. like Roosevelt, will call for
more hattleshipS, more Notifications,
boys to be taught the art of war.
Carnegie better chuck his money in
a cart, shovel part of it out in the by
ways OF those who made it for him,
and then repeat the JOB up and down
the alleys OF the big cities until the
poor masses have gotten back some
share Of what they were originally
robbed Of in the same way that some
OF us now are by the coffee men in
their aid to Hopkins. Peace can best
be brought by those writer's and
speakers who are continually denoun-
cling the war measures proposed by
men like Roosevelt, Gen. Wood and
Representative Hobson. Let us re-
member men like Representative JAS
A. Tawney, OF Winona, Mimi. He
il doing more for peace than IL Car
negie with his $4,000, 900. ..-
