ROCKEFELLER AND THE

To the Editor of The Gazette:
An unbearable state of affairsI
What has Mr.. Rockefeller done
against the general public in Colo

came to the rescue Of the C. F. 4 l.
company when it was on the verge
of bankruptcy. He brought his mil
lions and put this company on its
feet. He has never made an invest
ment that paid poorer, and has never
been abused in this manner before.
Let us exercise common sense and,
in place Of abusing those who invest
their money and use their brains to
develop our state and its resources,
at least protest their property rights
and treat them with the respect they
deserve. And then we will grow to
our natural size, and l hope we will
not he obstyucted by agitation and
too much politics.
Though Mr. Rockefeller is the rich
est man in the world, without any
question whatever he has made his
billion dollars by the grandest organ
ized method of business that was ever
conceived by the human mind
through the grsndest system of or
ganization known to the world Of
business-and he has given to the
world under a grand system like Z
god of power. Such q man deserves
the respect Of the world.

The above communication in the

some other capitalist the great steel

Rockefeller is interested. The oil

GIRL MAN IN PUZZLE TO
MILWAUKEE OFFICERS

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, May S.-Cora
Anderson, young woman who foI
eight years has lived as man ir
Milwaukee was led into ristrict court
She was arrested an May 8 as Ralph
Kerwineo and for some time refused
to talk of herself.
Mamie White who posed as Ker.
wineors wife for several years, was
led to admit that Anderson was not
the right name. She also denied hel
first STORY that the masquerade be-
gan in Cleveland ten years ago.
Kerwineo was still clad in mans
suit when taken to court. The po-
liceman who brought her into cour,
found her sitting cross-legged on hei
bunk in the cell-room, smoking Gig
arctic.
She talked freely of her experiences
and expressed great regret at the
prospect of having to take up life
again as woman.
81 was shocked at first when
heard the way men talked by them
selves, but l soon got overthat," She
said. "If women could stick together
as the men do, and if their habits
were not so freely criticized, they
would act just like men,"
The man-girl was given no chance
to testify when taken before the
court on a charge of disorderly con.
duct. Physicians told the court thai
the woman was normal.
The county clerks records show
that Kerwineo secured marriage
license to marry Miss Dorothy Klein
owski March 10, giving South Amer
lea as "his" birthplace. The medica
certificate issued the same day was
signed by DR.. W. j. Scollard, Wes,
side physician, and by two employe!

SAYINGS OF WISE MEN.

From hand to mouth will never
make a worthy man.-Gaelic Proverb.
He who has acquired wealth in time,
unless he saves it in time, will in time
come to tarvation.-Plautus.
A fol can no more see his folly
than | e can see his ears.-Thackeray.
Frugality may be termed the daueh-s
ter OF Prudence, the sister of Tenn
perance and the parent of Liberty
DR. j. hnson.
The natural law of human life is,
Of course, that in youth man shall
labor and lay by store for his old
age, and when age comes, shall use
what he has laid by, gradually slack
ening his toll and allowing himself
more frank use of his store, taking
care always to leave himself as much
as will suffice for him beyond any
possible length of life.-Ruskin.
Sir Walter Scott regarded with rev.
erence everything connected with an
tiquity. The influence of this poetic
sentiment is discernible in his most
trifling acts, in his tastes, his love
of the arts, his social habits. Akin
to the feelings of which we have
been speaking was the truly chivalric
sense of honor which stamped his
whole conduct We do not mean that
Hotspur honor which is reused only
by the drum and fife-though he says
of himself, 81 like the sound of a
drum as well as Uncle Toby ever did,
but that honor which is deep seat
ed in the heart of every true gentle
man, shrinking with sensitive deli
cacy from the least stain, or imputa-
ton of stain, on his faith.-W. II.
Prescott.
A passion for flowers is, I think,
the only one which long sickness
leaves untouched with its chilling in
fluence.-Mrs. Hemans.
Men of genius are often dull and
inert in society; as the blazing met
cor, when it descends to earth, is
only stone.-Longfellow.
There are men of convictions whose
very faces will light up an era, and
there are believing women in whose
eyes you may almost read the whole
plan of salvation.-Fields.

JAP is KILLED.

DENVER, May SC. Y. Moriyasu,
a Japanese, was shot in the right
breast and instantly killed at 4 o'clock
this morning, in a downtown rooming
house. Circumstances indicate mur-
der. Jane Jones, one of the proprie-
tors of the rooming house, has been
detained. She asserts the Jap COM
mitted suicide. The police found a
trail of blood from the woman's room
to another some distance away where
the body lay. Indications were that
the body had been dragged from
room to room. The body was nude.
There were no powder burns on the
skin. apparently refuting the suicide
theory.
Since coming here Moriyasu had
had two white wives, the first having

KIDS BEST FARMERS.

It is . rather peculiar commen-
tary, but nevertheless true, that the
best farming in America today is
done by the kids This is brought
about through the competitive system
that has grown up with the forma-
tion of boys and girls agricultural
clubs which are organized primarily
for the accomplishment of some par
ticular line of endeavor. For instance,
there is the potato club which has
proven wonderful incentive for
greater things in the states which
have taken it up. Utah now has 49,
OO0boys and girls growing potatoes
for annual prizes, Idaho 5000, while
we have a few here in Colorado and
other states are falling into line in
the educational campaign. 1t is in
teresting to note that in every state
where the boys and girls are engaged
in this work the boys have excelled
the boys, while the old men are tackl-
ing themselves by squirting up a bit.
We need to do something of this sort.
In Europe the good potato grower
brings through yield of from 500
to TOO bushels an acre while in the
United States the best farmers get
only one-hah as muhc and the aver
age grower will obtain only one-third
as many bushels to the acre. With
Americas wonderfully fertile soil, ir-
rigating facilities and excellent type
Of farmers the European records
should be broken every year, but we
will have to adopt modern methods to
do It. The bug for these agricultural
activities has gone SO far that one of
the New England states will hold a
Juvenile exposition At Windsor. Yer

from these children's clubs will be

MIDDLEMEN AND THE q. c. or L.

A commission which has been
studying the high cost Of living prob
lem in New York city for two years
reports that the only way to reduce
expenses to the householder il to en-
able the small retail dealer to get his
supplies quickly and cheaply. There
fore, it recommends that the city Of
New York establish in each borough
of the city . Wholesale terminal mar
ket, the effect. Of which would be to
reduce the profits of the commission
men.
Another commission has studied the
same problem in Chicago. Its con-
saler and jobber, but the retailer az
well. are making excessive profits, On
food articles, especially seasonable
fruits and vegetables, the retailers
profits were frequently found to ex-
coed 400 per cent.
This question has been pretty thor
oughly studied for the last ten years,
or since the cost Of living began to
increase abnormaily. 30 many fac
tors enter into it that gsneralizations
are unsafe; nevertheless, . few def.
mite conclusions have ben reached, one
Of the most certain Of which 10 that
the middleman adds very greatly and
unnecessarily to the cost Of living. II
is equally certain that, In most lines
Of business, he cannot be dispensed
with-at least not unless those bust
nesses are completely reorganized-
but there is no particular reason why
his numbers and his profits should not
be materially reduced.
An interesting and important ef-
fort in this direction 10 made in the
recent order Of the postmaster gen.
eral relating to the shipment Of farm
produce by parcel post. Under the
plan adopted, an enterprising farmer
who lives within fifty or seventy Ave
miles of q city large enough to af.
ford a market ought to Be able to
build up 4 profitable business with
private customers. True. some prsps-
would have 70 be made systsmatical-
ly and thoroughly. He would have

Of customers and establish personal
relations with them: then he would
have to make every effort to insure
the prompt delivery Of his goods In

coLoRADo-NoT POLITICS.
Pueblo Chieftain.

Significant were the words OF KEEP
resentative Mann on the opening Of
the extraordinary session of the gen.
eral assembly on Monday-"We are
not here as Republicans but as Colo
radoans." And this applied also to
Progressives and to that branch of
Democracy which sees the light of
reason and distinguishes between law
and order and lawlessness and disor-
der.
Therein lies the secret of the victory
Of the law and order forces of the
legislature; the triumph of right over
wrong and the success of government
by right as against government by
might.
Opponents Of the government of
righteousness and of the governor of
the state and all the administrators
Of the law were quick to seize on
the actions of the extraordinary ses-
sion as the work of the corporations
and they sought to explain defeat in
their nefarious schemes by the ac-
cusation that the coal operators own
ed and directed the members of the
assembly in this important gathering.
This was to be expected. But nothing
was ever farther from the truth. The
Democrats are in the majority in the
assembly even as they were in the
last regular session and no such accu-
sations were made at that time. The
Democratic majority has directed the
work so far of the extraordinary ses-
sion. The motive is wrapped up in
that signaficant statement of Mr.
Mann.
We are glad to note that the great
majority of all members of the Colo
RADIO general assembly went into the
extraordinary session to face the
gravest crisis which ever confronted
the state with politics eschewed. That
1t is possible to eliminate politics at
times is made certain in two great
crises involving our country today.
The situation in Colorado in this re-
spect is not unlike that at Washing
ton. And the meeting of the emerg-
ency has been somewhat similar.
v hen President Wilson decided that
It was time to act in the Mexican
affair he found the members of con-
gress for the most part were ready
to forget their political affiliations
and stand on common ground for the
best interests of the country. They
were for America first. We find the
members of the Colorado general as
sembly for the most part for Colo
RADIO first.
The fact cannot be overlooked that
the Democrats of our state are large
ly responsible for the terrible condi-
tions with which we are at present
afflicted, but it is with feeling of
partial forgiveness that we see them
meet the emergency and come to the
rescue, even if it is at a late date,
Of the governor who has tried to do
and has done his best But it will
take more than this to atone for THEN
sins of the past. They will never be
able to undo that which they have
done. The best they can do is to fol-
low the start they have made at this
time and aid to the best of their abil.
