ROCKIWKIjIiMK, pharasoe. nrig and si&n seizes iho oceasion of his fortieth birthday to niournfully comment on tho public scorn with which his efforts to bettor the world are received by the philistines yet he will manfully continue his noble efforts in spend ing millions to find out why girls go wrong, teach his Sun day school class harmless platitudes and lead his narrow, conventional, correct career. Young Rockefeller Inherits, along with the tainted money of his father, the odium that accompanies it. The methods by which the oil king's millions wore secured forever damn their possessor. The hopeless pharisoeism and smug hypocrisy that cloak both father and son vender both obnoxious to sincerity the mark of tho beast is on them all. Both Rockefellers find a defender in the Medford Sun, which seeks to palliate their offences and excuse the avarice and greed of the modern Croesus in the follewing: There Is not a more wholesome. Ood-fcarliig, unpretentious family In the country than tho Rockefeller family. Read tho history of tho Standard Oil und tho worst Indictment acalnst the one time bond Is that he placd tho pnmo a little more shrewdly and vigorously than his competitors at n tlmo when the came was fair and the rules wore known. Father Rockefeller's crime then was not iho crime of an Individual hut the crime of an ape. What was not only legal but commendable In ISi'O be came a crime In r.100 and Rockefeller was caiiBlit in the collapse ot tint unworthy but accepted standard. The individual cannot shirk responsibility because of the age m which he lives. Kockelollcr protcssod ( nris lianity and the ethics of the Standard Oil never found countenance in the Scriptures.

"lie played the game a little more shrewdly than his competitors" and far more ruthlessly. His path of suc cess is paved with skeletons of victims, nothing was sacred to tins ostentatious prater of Christianity, who, while simpering the gospel of the lowly Nazarine, clan destinely corrupted legislatures, violated laws, demoral ized commerce, debased humanity and defiled the tem ple, all for the love ot unneeded aiid unusable dollars. With his inherited millions, the son of this "victim of his age" is making a pitiable attempt to cure one of the diseases of civilization without in any way disturbing the primary cause of the diseases that afflict humanity namely, the monstrous social, political and economic con ditions that permit one man to accumulate a billion at the expense of the million; that sanction the grabbing by a single person or a small group of persons of the control of the natural resources and industries of the nation; that create the Rockefellers and the white slaves for both are products of barbarous and crudely imperfect civil ization. If young Mr. Rockefeller is so anxious to better condi tions, why does he not follow the command given by Christ nearly two thousand veal's ago to another rich young man, doubtless preached to his own Bible class this many a Sunday: "And when .Icsus heard these things, ho said unto him. yet lackost thou ono thing: Sell all that thou hast, and dlstrlbuto unto tho poor nud thou shalt have treasure In heaven, and come and follow me." But young Rockefeller, like the young man of that faraway day, would probably be "'very sorrowful, for he was very rich," at such advice and he will take his chances with wealth on earth even though "it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God" and "he that layeth up treasure for himself is not rich toward God." iu 1800 2000 l'rohutn Iu tho mutter or William M.
