Splendid Opportunity for Two Ambl-
tious Philanthropists.
Showing up FRANK p. WALSH. the
misfit head Of the useless Commits
sion on Industrial Relations. is one
Of the most popular sports now en-
joying public fnvor. 1t appeals to
those Of sedentary habit as we'll as
TO those Of athletic inclination. Elab-
crate apparatus IL not needed BY the
players; a transcript Of the oflcial
record, an extract from Mr.. wALsH's
current remarks, a pen and paper
complete the OUTFIT. w. l. MAcKEN-
III Krxo, having enjoyed the felicity
Of appearing before Mr.. WALSH. has
qualified for the finals by exposing
the falsdty OF this declaration emitted
by that fountain Of misinformation:
wv. L. MACKENZIE KING. FORMER
Labor Commissions Of Canada, and At
present an employee OF tho Rockefeller
Foundation. boosted while giving his
testimony thai the will and conscience
OF JOHN d. ROCKEFELLER, Jr.. wore more
potent in Colorado than all of the pub
lie opinion Of all Of the people OF the
United States, and that the American
people must look to chat one man for
an improvement Of conditions, con-
coded by all to be un-Amerdcan and
n,olarab,ao
What Mr.. KING really said IL ac-
cessible to everybody who knows how
to read. 1t Is in the record Of the
commission. in the form Of questions
and answers:
to control the Rockefeller interests In
Colorado to do tho right thing. II they
are not doing the right thing. except
the ordinary people In America!
"Mr. KISo-If you are speaking OF
the immediate force and immediate in
iuence. l think that the conscience Of
young Mr.. JOHN d. ROCKEFELLER, Jr..
Is more powerful on that and will effect
social Justice in Colorado quicker than
any other single force that you could
bring to bear. / think he realizes there
is a great work to do there and he in
tends TO have It done.
Chairman wALsH-You think that
the will and conscience OF Mr.. RocKE-
TELLER in bringing proper conditions and
enduring conditions in Colorado is more
powerful than the will and conscience
OF all tho balance OF the people OF the
United States directed In that field?
Mr.. KINo-No. Mr.. Chairman. l
don't put II that way at all"
1t will be seen that Mr.. KING gave
a sensible. rea sonable and defensible
opinion. carefully restricting the scope
Of his observation. and emphatically
denying the deduction his questioner,
through malice or stupidity, sought
to have him acknowledge. He did
not boast nor did he suggest, that
Mr.. RO~CKEFELLER's will and con,
science were mor potent" than AL
the public opinion Of all the people
Of the United States" But Mr.
WALSH. by the exercise Of his truly
remarkable gift OF distortion, puts
this sentiment into his lips, 18th
cheerful disregard for the words Mr..
KING used.
Mr.. WALSH, however, gives prom
ise Of comforting one great favor on
the nation. In his most illuminating
and rhetorical style he says:
Hereafter ] shall respectfully decline
TO Engage In any controversy with re-
gard 10 the unfortunate horrors which
transpired in Colorado and the respon-
sibllity OF JOHN d. ROCKEFELLER, Jr.,
with any person other than JOHN d,
ROCKEFELLER, Jr.. or his father"
Surely the ROcKEfELLERs will recog.
nize the opportunity offered ny thi,
pledge. IL they will keep silent Mr..
WALSH must keep silent and we com
mend 10 them the rare and elevating
beauties Of a philanthropic reticence
which shall attain the proportion,
Of complete dumhness.
