Oil King Giv
t
Lie to Long.
Cleveland, Aug, 6—In direct con
tradiction oj tbe allegation of exSec-
retary of the Navy Long reads at
Plymouth that tbe pilgrim fathers
were liars, grafters and debauchees,
John D. Rockefeller said yesterday:
“Thia is a great and good country
to live io. It is a powerful country,
and has grown to its present position
through tbe strength of tbe few
Puritan fathers who first settled here.
“It was this spirit of tbe pilgrims’
love of truth, respect for it, desire for
right living, which laid the massive
foundation for the United States,
The Puritans made the beginning.
We should keep it as they intended.”
Notwithstanding tbe fact that tbe
• government is hard on tbe trail of
Rockfeller, and will make extra
ordinary efforts to indict bim at tbe
Chicago investigation this week, the
richest man in the world expressed
his unswerving patriotism aud loyalty
in bis sermon to bis Euclid Avenue
Baptist Sunday school class yester- j
«lay morning. He was in specially
good humor, shook bands wi<b every-

body BDd patted bis more intimate
friends affectionately on tbe back.
The eulogy of tbe Puritans by tbe
oil king is being compared with tbe
sensational statements of ex-Secre-
lary Loug that these same men were
rotten in morals, that drunkenness,
slander, bickering, licentiousness aud
even crimes against nature were com
mon witbin tbe first decade of
Plymouth colony. Comment is also
being made in thia connection upon
Long's statement (bat:
“The saints in Plymouth colony
can be counted opou my fiugers
Some of the very select were false to
their trust, falser by far tbau any
president of a modern insurance com
pany.
“Their first ministry was a facetious
hypocrite and grossly immoral, and
the second was a cross between a
a crank and an idiot."
There is a diversion of opinion as
to which of the great American’ opin
ions should bear tbe greater weight,
that of ex Secretary Loug or John
D Rockefeller.
RAYMOND LAUNCHED COQUILLE NEWS NOTES
AT PROSPER.
Leander, Our Correspondent
Tbe launching of the steam seboon
er Raymond, at Prosper last Thurs
day Sight was attended by probably
tbe largest crowd ever assembled at
that place. Excursion boats were
run from Bandon and Coquille and
tbe gasoline launches brought their
full ¡quota. The evening was idea)
for an excursion. Tbe Bandon aud
Coquille bands were hi attenance
and furnished music enroute. The
launching was scheduled to take
place at 10 o’clock but some little
trouble was encountered iu getting
the vessel started from the ways and
it was about eleven o'clock when the
trim schooner slid gracefully into tbe
river amid tbe cheers of the spec
tators aud tbe whistling of other
craft. It tell to tbe lot uf Miss Kate
Rosa to break the buttle of wine and
christen tbe vessel “Raytuond.”
The Raymond is 180 ft long, 38 ft.

and is a credit to tbe Heuckendorff
yard.
After tbe launching tbe Prosper
ball was tbe scene of a gay dancing
party who tripped the light fantastic
until the wee srna’ hours, tbe Seaside
Orchestra being in attendance and
furnishing excellent music. The
river boats left at midnight but many
remained to enjoy the pleasures of
the giddy whirl.
All in all it was a most successful
launching and much credit is due
