But Mr.. Rockefeller has
actually denounced coal smine
owners Ia Pennsylvanis as
unNise and unjust" IN their
treatment of working \ men,
furging q radical changs.f
Not long ago one Kreat, mine
owner solemnly announced that
God had chosen him TO run
mines for the benefit Of inferior
human creatures. Compared 70
Rockefeller that mine owner,
IN wealth, ID like the lowest paid
worker compared with him. He
would dislike Rockefeller's stats-
ment, but would cringe, bow,
and say, II take back that
remark about God. You know
moro shout Him than ] do, Mr..
Rockefeller, you have more
money than ! have"
IL the younger Rockefeller
should escape from the over
whelminB load Of money, tradi-
tion, enyironment, flattery, and
power that weigh upon him, It
would be . miracle. And he
could do an extraordinary
amount Of useful work In this
world.
Mr.. Mellon has decided, sensi-
bly,, that crews Of French and
italian ships may drink their
ordinary light wines, even when
tied fast TO prohibition Ameri-
can docks. The Italian law
connpels ship owners to give
sailors their wine. l..
/, Before they attack Mr.. Mellon,
American prohibitionists should
ask themselves how they would
feel II they were not allowed to
drink water on an American ship
in italian waters.
To the Italian worker light
red wine is the only drink he
knows. Millions of Italians and
: Erenchmen would no more think
Of drinking q glass Of pure
water than Q good prchibitionist
would Of drinking pure alcohol
America should Be satisfied -
make laws for Americans. II We
make ourselves all pure, W shall
be doing pretty well.
