HOW BmLIoNAIREs ARE MADE

The present price of Standard OIL
stock shows John d. Rockefeller to be
worth 100000. Mr.. Rookie
feller has been in the field as bread
winner for about fifty years. The
men who started with him, and who
depended on industry and economy
to keep up with hm, in order to do so
would have had to have earned and
saved about S4O,OOO,OOO a year for
half century.
That was manifestly impossible.
None of them did so. Neither did Mr..
Rockefeller. Yet he has the two bill
lions, How did he get it? Since he
could not have possibly have earned
It, he must have got it from some one
who did. Consequently a lot Of
workers whose combined wealth
should now be at least $2,0O0,0OO,-
900, are short that amount, And
there is no mystery about how 1t hap.
pened.
As stakeholder in the Standard Oil
Company, Mr. Rockefeller enjoyed
certain unfair advantages conferred
upon him by law. He has a mono
poly OF rights of way for pipe lines.
II does not matter how much ability,
energy or money others may have.
They are barred by the government
from constructing pipe lines to com
pete with Mr.. Rockefeller's. And If
they use his pipe lines they must sub
NIT to his terms. Mr.. Rockefeller re-
ceived special rates from the rail
roads which were denied his compet-
itors. The railorad corporations had
the monopoly of rights of way con-
ferred by the government That shut
out all others. Rockefeller got the
benefit of their monopoly.
Holding this monopoly on strips of
the earth, Rockefeller can get his raw.
material for as little as producers can
be induced to accept, and sell his fin
ished product for all the traffic will
bear. He has other privileges from
the government besides that of mo-
nopolizing land. For instance, he
has tariff privileges. This does not
consist in a tariff on oil, but in man
ipulaton of tariff legislation so that
he can obtain supplies free of duty,
while small competitors must pay du
ty. Thus there is a tariff on steel,
which increases the cost of steel con-
tainers made in the United States.
But the law provides that the duty
paid on these be returned when they
are shipped from the country in big
enough quantities. So the large
shipper, the Standard Oil Company, !
can get remission of import duties. |
The small shipper can not.
This does not complete the list of
privileges which have enabled one |
man to get in a lawful manner two |
billions of wealth produced by other
people. But there is enough to ex-
plain why we have paupers and mill
ionaires in this country. Why not
end the system?

A RAW, SORE THROAT
Eases Quickly When You Apply
a Little Musterole

And Musterole won't blister like the
Sld-fashioned mustard plaster. Just
spread it on with your fingers. 1t pene-
trates to the sore spot with a gentle
tingle, loosens the congestion and draws
out the soreness and pain.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment
made with oil of mustard. 1t is fine for
quick relief for sore throat, bronchitis,
tonsilitis, Group, stiff neck, asthma neu-
ralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy,
rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches Of
the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds on
the chest Git often prevents pneumonia).
Nothing like Musteroe for croupy chill
dren. Keep it handy for instant use.

BRYAN


lFrom the Chicago Tribune. Rep,l
Mn Bryan. We suspect, is the most
pow eruI single individual in the I'm
tied states j. p. Morgan, Billy
Sunday, and Theodore Roosevelt
might be thought Of as challenging
his pre-eminence. but We doubt that
they are to be considered as serious
rivals.
Morgan can break eggs for mil
lion people and carry off the omelet,
leaving them the shells, but he could
not make a chautauqua address.
Whatever power he has will die with
him. Bryan's will live twenty years
after he is dead He will have di-
rected the thoughts of men and wo-
men and their children. 1t will take
at least twenty years to eliminate
Bryan. Twenty days may eliminate
Morgan.
Exasperated American patriots will
be encounterng the Bryan sirup Of
life at least twenty years after this
amiable man has been gathered to his
fathers. Billy Sunday operates vio-
lently on restricted area. He
stands a community on its head.
Boston now offers the spectacle of the
Brahmins on theirs, The bean not
being the natural resting place of the
human race, there is a gradual re-
sumption of the normal business of
standing on the feet, but while Mr..
Sunday is effective he is very effec-
tive
He has no such influence as Bryan.
He is no such power. People can not
always be running to a fire, as Char
les Elliot Norton Tor was it he?. said
OF reading Carlyle. Bryan does not
turn out the fire department. He
uses a sausage suffer, fills it full of
sirup, and fills the people so full of
sweetness that they are ready to
burst.
The business of beating folks over
the head with a good solid club is
The more the sound
indicates solid bone or protected va
Guilty the more enraged the colonel
becomes and the stouter his raps.
People will stand on their heads
for a while, but they never like to be
pounded on them. Therefore Bryan
With his sirup squirt is more deadly
than Roosevelt with his club.
It is no accident that now while |
Colonel Roosevelt considers himself |
in the position of the mate of the
New Bedford whaler whose skipper
wanted silence, and d little of
hat, Colonel Bryan is the cock of the
walk in Washington.
He is talking, as always, without
linking. He typifes the impulse to
ak without thinking. We have
lothing but admiratio nfor this ami
lble man, but the damage he does is
enormous. He has permeated the
vest. He is more responsible for
President Wilson now than he was
our years ago. He is the most pow
,rful living American, and our only
wish is that he had been German
,r Jap, or even a Canadian or a
Mexican.
Twenty years after his last word

le has said will have to be combated

Have You Tried Acorn Bread?

Although the Germans are making
war bread out of all kinds of materials,
they will have to go long way before
they invent an entirely new kind of
bread. Beans, peas, maize and other
substances have been mixed with
wheat or rye in the past.
Mashed potatoes, mixed with wheat
or maize -four, were used by poor peo-
pie on the continent years before the
war broke out. Rice flour makes fine
yellow bread, while the chestnut bread
that forms the chief food of the Corsi-
can mountaineers is very digestible,
agreeable to taste, and keeps fresh
over fortnight.
Bread has been made from acorns,
especially by the peasants Of France.
Moses, dried and powdered, are still
used for bread by Norwegians, and
other substances that have been used,
most of them yielding little nutrition
without the addition of cereal -four, in

Snalls Very Nutritious.

"All snails are edible and nutri
tious," says Canon Hershey in book
on British land and fresh water mol
luscs, just published. He goes on to
say that even the common or garden
snail. though insipid, Is as nourishing
as calf's-foot jelly.
There is a large white-shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that Is common.
ly eaten by connoisseurs In the South
of England, while all over France,
Italy and Spain several species are
used as food. In France there are
many small farms which yield a good
profit to their owners. In the French
and Italian quarters of New York
snails may be bought, either alive or
cooked. and at most of the French
restaurants they are served, oscar.
gots farcis" being the most usual
form of dish.
Snails are easy to raise in large
quantities. They need lime for max
ing their shells, but they do not have
to be fed, as they can find their own
food, which is exclusively the leaves
of many plants. They are most deli
cious when properly prepared and
cooked, and, as Canon Hershey says,
as nourishing as calfs-foot jelly.
