RockefelIer's LiberaIity.

John D. Rockefeller was feeling especially
generous on his SOth- birthday and he gave
away So in nckels to the small boys of Green
field, Mass. One nickel was presented to each
boy with the compliments of the donor, perhaps
in the belief that it would be put away and
treasured as a keepsake and talisman.
1t pleased the oil king to do this and it did
the boys no harm, but as a manifestation of
liberality and of human sympathy it was on a
par with his more pretentious gifts. Mr. Rookie
feller's contributions to charitable and philan-
thropic enterprises have been large-Iarger
than those of any other with the possible
exception of Andrew Carnegie. 1t is estimated
that his benefactions amount to between two
and three hundred millions. Like Carnegie,
however, he never has given anything that he
has missed, and he didn't start giving till he
was quite sure that all the physical wants Of
John D. were amply provided for, as far as it
was humanity possible to anticipate them.
In other words, what he has given away is
what he has not really wanted and that means
nothing especially to his credit Making money
is game, but after one accumulates as much
as Rockefeller has it's possession must be some
thing of burden. The surplus, properly dis
posed of, may do good, but the giving of it
does not signify greater warmth of feeling on

A City Ice Plant.

A city ice plant Why not?
The city has a water plant and it pays
handsomely and furnishes a satisfactory prod
uct. If it is proper and profitable to deliver
water in liquid form why can't the municipal
ity supply it in CONCEALED form?
If Rock Island had an ice plant it might be
that prices would be no higher here than else
where. At present the scale paid in the three
cities ranks with the highest in the country, not
even excepting the south where no natural ice
is used
In the days when there was well on every
improved lot, with cold water available at all
times, ice was not so much Of a necessity. In
late years it's use has rapidly increased and
it has become more urgently required the cost
to the user has steadily mounted. First it was
lack of cheap sawdust for storage purposes.
Next a warm winter. Last summer, after
cold winter, with unlimited opportunities for
putting up and shipping the natural product,
it was the labor situation. This summer
are suffering from the effects of warm winter
and still higher general expenses, ice men say.
Every season when the price went up there
was lingering hope that abundant harvest
or some other fortunate circumstance might
bring the rates down to the former level. butt
in every case disappointment followed. When
the price went up it stuck and usually some
thing was added to it. The advance this year
mas been greater than ever before. 1t is now
80 cents per hundred nearly cent pound,
delivered to residences. There is no assurance
that it ever will be any less. if the matter is
left in the hands of the dealers.
This plea of insuficiency of supply suggests
that the local investment in manufacturing and
storage facilities is too small. There is room
for the city to embark in the business without
crowding the field.
1t might not be advisable to undertake de-
livery, but ice could be sold at wholesale to
be retailed within the city on a specified mar
gin. This plan at least would show how far
the regular dealers are justified in going in the
matter of prices.
Win the people vote bond issue to build a
municipal ice plant? Just watch them, if the
chance is given before the end of the present
heated term.

In the Days News

Sir William Osler, one of the
worlds famous medical scientists
and educators, is 20 years old to-
day, or 80 years beyond the age at
which, he is reported to have said,
the period of mans usefulness ex-
pired. In contradiction to his own
theory, Sir Williams activities
seem to have increased with his
years, for he rendered most distin
guished services to the allied cause
in the war just ended. The famous
physician is a native of Canada and
was educated at Toronto university
and McGill university, subsequent
Iy going abroad for special studies.
His career as an educator began in
1884, when he accepted position
as professor of clinical medicine
at the University of Pennsylvania.
Later he went TO Johns Hopkins
university, where he widened his
reputation as professor of medi-
cine. In 1905 he left Johns Hop
kins. after holding a professorship
there for 16 years. to become regius
professor of medicine at Oxford.

The Packing Business.

No refutation that the packers can make in
mere words will answer the report OF the fed
eraI trade commission indicating that the for
mer are aiming at ultimate domination of the
entire field of food supply. not only in this
country but all over the world
The people will believe that report first of
all because creation of a virtual monopoly
would be the logical thing for the packers to
attempt. They already are in position to die
tate methods and terms to those competitors
in the meat industry over which they have no
financial control and it is quite obvious that
they are not neglecting their opportunity. For
them to extend their operations to other lines
of foods rapidly as they are able to organ
ize for the purpose is perfectly natural 1t is
merely following a common rule OF business
which any other body of men would similarly
observe if the opportunity were given.
No doubt the purchasing, assembling, pack
ing, marketing and distributing machinery
which serves so admirably in the meat bust
ness can be made to operate most economically
and efficiently in other lines, and if properly
administered would result in higher prices to
producer and lower prices and better service to
consumer. The very magnitude of the scale of
operations would insure less waste, quicker
handling and many other economies.
The time may come when the American
people will be willing to commit the entire food
industry to the domination of small group of
men, but it is not yet here. If it ever does ar
rive it will not be till after those who assume
the responsibility have given greater guaranty
than has yet been offered of their good intent
and their power to resist temptations that for
tuitous circumstance may present. Further
more the public will want to be sure that UnclO
Sam has perfected his regulating machinery
and that it is in good order. well oiled and
ready for any possible emergency.
In the meantime we must insist upon view
ing with more or less alarm the widening of
the packers sphere of activities.
