"There has been a great change
in our business ethics. A few years
ago business men did things which
they wouldn't dream Of doing now.
A certain wealthy man made his
fortune on rebates, at time when
rebates we're not frowned upon. Mr..
Rockefeller was good business man
according to the ethics of his day,
he is a good business man now ac-
cording to those Of our day.
"As for the Colorado strike, there
has been so much Misrepresentation
that the truth has not had chance
to be seen, But a ray of light has al
ready appeared, and before long we
shall know the truth, and we shall see
that the industrial unrest of the Co
dorado district is not to be laid to Mr.
Rockefeller's door or that OF his son. ?
DR.. Eliot is being answered by many
lawyers, churchmen, labor leaders and
publicists. Henry Abrahams, secre-
tary of the Boston Central Labor
union flays his remarks mercilessly.
''If President Eliot's Endorsement of
Rockefeller's business ethics holds
good, merely because of the good
work now being done by his toun
dation. the pirate gold Of Captain
Kidd would have washed out his
bloody trail of wholesale murder, had
Kidd also used small portion OF his
illgotten gains in a similar bene
faction" declares Mr.. Abrahams
mot even the infamous Captain Kidd
was more remorseless than Rookie
feller has been, in the amassing O
his tremendous fortune. To be con
sistent, President Eliot should en-
dorse all kinds of piracy provided
the pirates turn reHorners TOWARD
the end. The more charitable view
to take would be to remember thu
many good things that Tliot has don.
as well as the many bad things don.
by Rockefeller, and to be as charita
bly, disposed as possible to both"
Richard Washburn Child, a notet
author writes. president Eliot ha
done the Rockefeller Foundation I
poor service by linlong It with tn,
history of the money which supports
it; he has dcne the history of The
money which supports it bad serv
ice by calling attention to it as some
thing for which the Rockefeller Foun
dation is recompense."
Rev. George A. Crawford of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, Boston
says: "The history Of Standard oil
is enough to make q mans conscience
squeal sooner or later. If what Ida
Tarbell or Lloyd says is true, Dr. Eliot
cannot close his eyes to facts that
have not been denied and cannot be
denied"

SCHOOL
NEIGHRoRING COUNTY Z ATTEMPTS
SOMETHING NOVEL IN NEW
ME Xico

Santa Fe, December 23-A public
school library for every school district
in Santa Fe county, is the decision of
County School Superintendent John
" Conway and he will start with $40
worth of books for each building, add
ing $40 worth yearly. OF this amount
the school district will give $5 and
the other $5 will be raised by public
subscription. The libraries Will be
installed in time for the beginning Of
the legislature, not later than January
Is. The books are being selected now.
Much interest in this new step for
ward in the rural schools is being en-
couraiged by the Santa Fe Woman's
Club which already has several COM
mittees at work assisting Superintend-
ent Conway. Already the club is sup
plying clothes and shoes for the needy
and is contributing books. More than
that, the inspiration that these women
workers give to the women of the ru-
raj communities, is having splendid
effect. One of the plans for the
spring is to select the poorest school
in the county and to concentrate work
upon it so as to make it the model
rural school of the state, with beauti-
full garden, model furniture and furn-
ishings, books and pictures, manual

PANNED BY
LEADERS OF
LABOR
NOTED EDUCATOR CONDEMNED
FoR SPEAKING KINDLY OF
ROCKEFELLER

Boston, Dec 23.-Charles w. Eliot,
the venerable educator of Harvard,
and believed to be the best educated
man in America, has pricked a hor-
nets nest. He is the center of coun-
try-wide protest ana on the other
hand is widely applauded by the de-
tenders Of John D. Rockefeller. The
long period of muck raldng which
delved into the doing Of Standard Oil
was almost forgotten in the whirl OF
American events, only to be revived
again last week, when DR.. Eliot took
the platform as the champion of the
oil king, his methods of business, his
methods Of benefaction, and placing
him on pedestal as the best business
man this country has produced.
Here are DR.. Eiot's words which
brought about the renewal of the agi-
Sataon which has filled newspapers,
magazines and books for many years:
Il do know, however, that Mr.. Rock
efeller has been maligned, misunder
stood and the object Of undeserved
suspicion for years. Why, | do MOI
know. He Is the greatest business
man this country mas ever known
BY that / mean, his methods, his
sagacity, aiis foresight, his energy
all stamp him as the most wonder
ful business brain of our time.
"Mr. Rockefeller has conferred i'm
mense benefits upon this country. Al
first, when / became acquainted with
che work of his Foundation object
ed to certain conditions. Now see
their value. And in many instances
there are benefactions absolutely free
of conditions.
The carrier of light to all the world
WHAT an achievement Wherever !
go, to the far east, the far west is
the light brought by this corporation.
For years there has been suspi-
-groundIess and unfounded-that
the money of Mr. Rockefeller was not
honestly got that it was secured by
means at least undesirable. How far
from the truth and from justice are
these charges!
"A few monopolies have been blam-
cd, and in some cases justly. for evil,
doings. But the corporation, in fact,
Is the greatest safeguard Of AmeE1-
can liberty that we have! The cor
poration alone sustams the great in
stitutions Of the country, and pre-
vents them from falling into the
hands Of the government. The cor
poration again. alone can organize
and develop large bodies Of opera
lives and employees 20 the highest
