ROCKEFELLER, THE MARTYR
MR. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER presents himself. He will
appear in the title role of "The Persecuted Man." He is
the stuff of which martyrs are made. He has devoted his
life to improving processes of industry and business, and
now regards .himself as the greatest American benefactor of his
species. In return an ungrateful people is hounding him to his
ruin. An innocent man, who protests he cannot afford to have
oysters for dinner, he is asked to pay a fine of $29,240,000. It is
enough to make a good man take to the poorhouse.
By way of timely comment upon these pathetic protestations
comes the report of Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith of the
department of commerce, who mar=hals a crushing array of -facts
to prove that the net profits of Standard oil irf 24 years were
S/CC.COO.OOO on an original investment of $75,000,000. In that
period the trust has absolutely controlled prices of petroleum and
its products and has used its power to raise prices not only abso
lutely but relatively to the cost of crude oil. The methods of the
trust are thus described in the report:
The cornerstone on which the Standard's power was first built up was rail
road discrimination. The Standard was able to maintain in position this pri
mary support of its domination down nearly to the present time — that is, until
its system of preferential freight rates, secret or open, was exposed by the
report of this bureau on the transportation of petroleum in May, 1906.
•Almost equally effective in maintaining the Standard's position have been
its unfair methods of competition in the selling of products. The immense
importance of the practice of price discrimination in restraining the business
of competitors and augmenting the aggregate profits of the Standard will be
set forth Mater. The Standard maintains bogus independent companies and
thereby isVable to escape the disadvantage due to antitrust sentiment, as well
as to cut prices tcrthe particular customers of competitors, without incurring
a further loss of cutting prices to the entire trade in the locality.
We do not imagine that the Jacts set forth in this report will
be regarded as news. They have been sufficiently well known for
years; but their fresh presentation at this time in official form is
timely in view of the recent protestations of innocence made by
the Standard oil people and their covert allegation that they are
being persecuted for political effect. It should be remembered that
the charges set forth in Commissioner Smith's report have never
been denied or controverted by the trust magnates, although they
have been repeatedly published all over the country, both in official
and popular form. 4
"A NASTY LITTLE BUSYBODY"
TWO widely separated planes of political thought and ethics
are opened to view by a dispatch from The Call's
correspondent. Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts rep
resents the type of opportunist politician. Among the talent
he is best known by the title "Mr. Fixit/'^by reason of a
distinct genius. for arranging a division of spoils under which the
politicians get everything and the people get what is left. It ap
peared to Crane that the Ohio situation presented an ideal oppor
tunity for the exercise of his peculiaf talents. He was everybody's
friend. Indeed, that is part of the business. He was a brother to
men so little alike as Taft and Foraker. Why, indeed-, should not
Taft. and Foraker be made • brothers through him, or at least
brothers once removed. There were offices enough for both. Taft
might be president and Foraker senator, and between them they
could make a governor. The thing was easy as falling off a log,
and, above all, it was "good politics/
Taft turned down the proposition without hesitation. He was
not making political bargains witlr men of the Foraker and Crane
stripe or with anybody. If he could not have the support of Ohio
in the national convention without buying it by a political trade,
then he would go without.
Crane is no longer friends with Taft, or, indeed, with Roosevelt,
who appears to have hit him oft pretty closely when he described
the junior senator from Massachusetts as "a nasty 'little busybody."
POLICEMAN AND BAILIFF
DESPATCHES from Washington outline a flamboyant pro
gram for the big policeman. His function as guardian of
the peace in Latin America may be\supplemented by those
of bailiff for the collection of debt. All Europe" is scandalized
in sentiment and sore in pocket because the Central and South
American republics default interest on their bonds, and their easy
fashion of regarding a loan as finding the money is disapproved
Now Europe, of course, wants to send men-of war and big guns
to levy on the easy going dons whose obligations sit so lightly
on their shoulders, but this policy of coercion does not fit the
Monroe doctrine, 'which, by. prescription, has acquired an almost
religious acceptance in this country. Still less -does coercion fit
the Drago doctrine, which, being younger than the Monroe rule,
has not yet acquired the dignity of an article of international faith;
But many miles of editorials have been written about it, and it has
therefore become thoroughly respectable. Drago would forbid the
collection of debt by exterior force. The doctrine is very popular
in Latin America and Turkey. Uncle -.Sam does not go quite -that
far. He thinks that debts ought to be paid, and although .he' does
not like to see them collected with a European club he tenders
his good offices to. straighten out the financial tangle. He will do
as he did with Santo Domingo, where he: procured for himself an
invitation to take charge of the custom house and pay off the
creditors. What inducements were offered in. procurement of this
invitation is not very clear, but it is certain that out of hocus pocus
came solvency.
Some such program is indicated toallay the hunger of European

creditors of other Latin republics. The weary Titan who assumes
the 'burden of a world power carries grievoifs obligations on his
shoulders. If he keeps on accumulating doctrines he will need a
bigger stick. If to Monroe you add; Drago,. Uncle Sam will- be
minding'his neighbors' business most of the time. And all these
doctrines breed corollaries like rabbits. This is the white man's
THE gentle art of chasing spooks takes/ comfort =and encourage
ment Jrom,the psychic research of Professor.'Hyslbp. / It is^ a
time honored, melancholy aspiration that would commune -with
the dead. There lies the real interest — the pathetic longing
of the bereaved for converse with those who have gone before.
Time out of mind mankind has believed in ghosts and denied the
belief. It was a, French professor who answered a question, "No; I
don't believe in ghosts, but I fear them." From the Witch of Endor
downward through the ages the belief persists.
It is not so long ago since an English land owner asserted
proprietary rights in the ghost of Amy Robsart, the unhappy spouse
of Dudley, earl of Leicester." $ This English land owner, trusting
not wisely but too well, bougliY Cumnor hall through the good of
fices of a glozing real estate agent, who, among other attractions
of the place, included, the ghost of Amy Robsart. But the specter
came not, v and the; purchaser, being out and injured thereby, brought'
suit for damages. The English law courts refused to, assess the value,
of a spook, taking what Professor Hyslop might call a 'grossly \
materialistic view of the transaction.
Professor Hyslop does not promise us ghosts in that sense
or fashion. They are a vague and unsatisfactory folk to whom he
would introduce us. They seem to lack the sense of identity. They
are a prey to dumb forgetfulness, and such speech as ' they .have
seems flavored wth modern slang. It is not a very cheerful -gospel
that Dr. Hyslop preaches: : • -/.,.,-
IT is a quiet day that does not bring forth one or more histories of
land frauds. One day the scene is laid in Plurnas county and
the next in Imperial valley. From the mountains and the
deserts of California we constantly hear of fraudulent entries; It
is pretty much the same all over the whole Pacific ;slope;and Rocky
mountain region. *, ; V .
It is impossible to believe that fraud of this magnitude could
be ; so . common and \u25a0so ' persistent were there not collusion in ; the
general land office. 'We know that such collusion'; lias existed in
the: past and; we suspect that it continues to this day^because trie
frauds persist. /
Let us take a glance at the current history of Plurqas county
frauds. ' The latestV news is that a special agent is in the field
gathering data for the interior department. But we learn at the
same time; that 'mining men and others, who -may /want : to file
protests against locations that they regard as; fraudulent, ; must do
so before September 7. 0r be, forever ; foreclosed-pfltliat T right. Who
enacted this statute of limitations we are not advised] buUthe whole
thing has a suspicious look : : and requires . explanation.: We know
from sworn testimony that th'e:timber, thieves have 'had allies" in
the land office of the past and we should like to be assured that
they are not there still: \u25a0 -^ ; ;.

President Roosevelt's plea in his message for the preservation of our for

Bohemia's argument. "O men," cries the Spirit, when the woodmen justify
their 'desecration of the groves, N pleading the need of homes for men and
other prosaic defense:

Harken my words: 'Ye, year by 'cruel year,

On her arrival, within a week' or two, she found the London book stalls

to "The Birds' Christmas Carol."

of the club since, therefore I Judge that the shock was too much # for it.
Miss Grace Llewellyn Jones was one of the active members. Its object
was the study of literature in foreign languages, and at the occasional pub

they could do in the way of reading in Italian, French or Spanish from

Sinuous for Society tie 3of the Spanish dan P ee The membcr3
will learn how to wriggle a la Carmencita.and Otero. At least, they will
endeavor to learn. It is not so easy to master— or should one say mistress?—
a Spanish dance. Matildita, formerly ballet maitressc at the Grand opera
house, told me that of all her private pupils there were few who could do
a Spanish dance properly. "They can move the legs,*' she shrugged her
plump shoulders, "but the ar-r-ms!" — ah me, it is" impossible to translate
in common words the sarcasm, the irony contained in that little mono
syllable as t she said it, "the arms, they do not know how to use." She
waved her own with matchless grace. Stout as she had grown, she ccukl
still move those arms of hers with a grace that was not possible to impart
at so much per lesson to her pupils.
"There is one society girl— she is rich and she wants to learn- one
little pas, but," and here' the "shrug, '"she will not move the arms as they
should go. She can move the body right, and the legs and the feet, but
the. arms"— the shrug showed the poor society girl's chance to master a
Spanish pas seul was nil.
.. However, some of cur society girls can do fancy dances quite as well
a$| a- professional. There is Mrs. Lansing Kellogg, for one. She, fti spke
of "her proportions, is light on her feet— and those feet are small and
exquisitely shaped. Her elder sister, Mrs. Walter Dean, when a girl, v/as
a pupil of old Professor Lur.t, and was one of his star-. Bessie Garv'ey.
who later married Banker Wilcox of Connecticut, was another star of the*
