Himself rather craggy figure,
reflective, tall, arrow straight
with black forelock falling over
his eyes, plainly and even indif

he was never happier than when
he was called Lincolnesque.
He was generous with his
money, paying the hospital bills
of friends who were down on
their luck or sending hteir sons
through college. He was said to
have made a million or so through
investments in oil.
Born to wealth of an old Colo

ground of an aristocrat he spent
much Of his life in an effort to re-
lieve the underprivileged. Early
in His career he expressed his po-
sition on labor in these words:

modern industry, and the ex-
ploitation of workers has been a
deep and underlying cause of our
lack of social advance"
