PURE PRETENSE.

Are these dams worth dam for flood control?
Flood control suggests an empty reservoir-these
dams are intended for full one. They obviously
have nothing to do with erosion as is so ardently
claimed.
In view of the increased efficiency and low cost
of steam, as compared with hydro-elect power
in land of coal, is this construction warranted?
Are there not so many concealed subsidies here

and devotion to those solid fundamental
principles which have always been regard
ed as the bedrock of our countrys civiliza-
ton and progress, as we'll as his vast,
worldwide benefactions, finally secured to
him a large and nationwide measure OF
public esteem. Fair-minded people decid-
ed that the old gentleman either was not
as bad as he had been painted by the pub
licists in his earlier years, or that he had
greatly changed. Millions who were not
personally acquainted with John ID. Rookie
Teller, now that he lies dead, have feel
ing of sincere regret and the belief that
the country has sustained great loss in
his death
Reverting to his early struggles and sue
cesses, it can be truthfully said, this news
paper believes, that John d. Rockefeller
played the game in American business &C
cording to the rules of the game in that
time. 1t is probable he thought he was
justified in doing so. At any rate, he un-
derstood clearly that if he failed to fight
his competitors and enemies with fire, they
would turn the heat on him and destroy
his enterprises.
There were citizens in that day who
were convinced that such methods were
wrong, whether adopted and used by
Rockefeller or by others; but all of the
clamor against the man and his record did
not arise from this class. Then as now, the
self-seekers, schemers, manipulators, even
the worst of the crooks, sought to turn the
clamor against powerful rich man and
his methods to their own advantage. These
groups are still pursuing that course.
In those past years, good citizens who
were able to think straight and who placed
first value on foundational social, economic
and moral principles, condemned what
they regarded as the wrong and unjusti-
fable acts and policies of John D. Rookie
Teller. While the country is now filled with
that vast and vociferous aggregation of
self-righteouS, who pat themselves on the
backs and cry out that they have intro
duced millennial conditions, the fact is that
the same sort of people who have always
stood for personal and national righteous
ness in this country, are standing today on
those old foundations. The fathers saw
and condemned the wrongs perpetrated
by Rockefeller; their Straight-thinking de-
scendants see and condemn similar wrongs
today, whether perpetrated by the cap
tains of business or citizens of less promi-
hence and power.
1t was this class of the country's popula-
ton which, witnessing the transformation
of the Rockefeller character by the bring
ing forth of fruits meet for repentance,
gave full weight and value to this evidence
and after his life had made it's due impress
on their consciousness, thereafter regard
ed the great industrialist as fellow hu-
man being of good impulses and inten-
tons; one striving humbly, perhaps, to
right some of the wrongs and atone for the
of his earlier years.
Thus passes from the stage of human
action one of the most remarkable men
this or any other country has produced
since civilized men began to keep the rec
ords of the great in the history of mankind.
