OUNO .10UN 1). 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. He has ever worn the liv-
erv ol honvon to sorvo flit tlovil in. t'hri.stinntv s et lies
-- --- . . ,.. ...... . ... - ,-
were no different in 1900 from what they were in 1890.
"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."
