According to Justice Gaynord, of
the New York supreme court, Old
Rockefeller is not a decent man. As
if people didn’t know this already.
The judge says: “What would a de
cent man in this community do if he
heard an officer was looking for him
to subpoena him to court to testify?
Would he hide in his house and
have his wife and children and serv
ants lie and say they did not know
where he was? Would he hide in
some other state or go aboard his
yacht, if he had one, and put to sea
and escape, or would he come for
ward like a decent man and say: ‘I
am here.’ And if he lied aud sneaked
away would he not be condemned by
the community bs dishonest, dishon
orable and disrespectable? Would
anyone offer him his hand on his
return ? And if a mau with an out
grown fortune made out of the abuse
of publio franchises does nothing is
he a decent member of society ? Is ;
he fit to mingle with honest I
No amount of church or Suuday;
aehool can make such a character de
cent or respectable.”
A Busted Hero.
With the approaching celebration
of the centennary of the discovery of
Pike’s peak, in which many societies
are to participate under the leader
ship of tho Bons of Colorado, a
glanoe into the days surrounding the
episode of that discovery may be a
good thing even if it seems to change
some of our preconceived notions
concerning history and throws down
some of our cherished idols.
At a recent meeting of tbe Sons of
Colorado Edward Morgan, one of
the best known bibliophiles in the
West, read a paper on “Early Colo
rado,” which is worthy of perpetua
tion. Morgan is a sou of Colorado,
he loves the state and history and
has devoted months to the study of
its early romances and the men who
entered into them.
In his paper Mr. Morgan says:
“ Three quarters of a century before
Jamestown, Virginia, was founded
and nearly 100 years before the land
ing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth
rock, that part of our country whioh
is now Colorado was being traversed
in nearly every direction by white
mou of the iSpunish race. Some of
them established small settlements
and engaged in mining in the south
ern part of the state. The earliest
party of explorers to come to this
state was under command of Alvar
Nunez CabezA de Vacu, who sailed
with his adventurers from Cuba.
Earlier even than Vaca was the com
ing into this laud of Luis de Mosoo
so, who, in 1542 brought a parly in
to western Kansas aud Colorado. On
his return trip this pathfinder looat
ed the Arkansas hot springs and dis
covered the Mississippi river 139
years before La Salle floated on its
broad bosom. lu 1001 Onate made
a call on what is now Fmaba and
later had a look Ht what was to be
Denver.” All going to show that
history has not been dealing fairly
in making out a list of those presold
among tho first arrivals.
Long bofore the “shot heard
’round the world” had been fired,
according to Morgau’s paper, Fath
er Escalante, a priest, went up and
down this section of laud naming
rivers, monutaiu ranges and cauous.
“In 1770 the wandering padre set
out from Santa Fe, and, proceeding
northwest to tho San Juan river he
reached a point nine miles below the
junction of the Navajo aud a month
after tho siguiug of the Declaration
of Independence in Philadelphia,
Father Escalante probably ate his
frugal repast at Arboles, now a sta
tion on the Denver & Rio Grande.
“Before Colorado came uuder the
Stars and Stripes the state was twice
uuder the French flag, though nom
inally owned by Spain, aud once un
der the Spanish flag.
Of the expeditions of Zabulon
Pike, the paper of Morgan does a
little knocking with a few hard facts
“Pike was really not the discoverer
of the peak that boars his name; it
had long been kuown by the Span
iards and by tbe Indians; nor was
his name given to it until later years
wheu the facts of his expedition be
came generally known. In fact, the
peak was formerly named James’
peak, after Dr. James, tbe botanist,
who accompanied the Long expedi
tion.
As to the justice of John C. Fre
mont bearing tho title of “Pathfind
er,” Morgan has shown that the son
iu-law of the great Benton of Mis
souri has no claim whatever to the
title. “Fremont gained great re
nown from the expeditions, four in
number, which he made, and was
tremendously exploited as a path
finder; bnt, as a matter of fact, he
made no discovery of importance
either in Colorado or elsewhere.
The paths he found were as well
kuown to Kit Carson who guided
him, and to many other old trappers
and huuters aud frontiersmen of that
day as the many roads from here to
Golden are to us. Senator John W.
Nesmith, discussing Fremont’s dis
covery of the South pass, said he
encountered the pathfinder lolling in
a covered ambulance drinking lemon
ade, and being fanned by his color
ed attendant.”
So much for another "hero of ye
aucient tyme.”—Denver News.
