ROCKEFELLER, Sr., died yesterday. Today the Supreme Court There ii a bit of human drama for you, a nice symbol if you please, of how the world moves on, how one epoch closes and another begins, as if some masterful scene shifter were back of it all. JOHN D. was the last leaf on America's plutocratic tree. He was as successful, in gathering in the years, as he was in gathering in the shekels. In him the acquisitive instinct reached its fullest flower. Thanks to the unlimited natural wealth of this undeveloped country, he became the richest man in the world, and he lived to the greatest age of any of his contem poraries. ' Of course there is Henry Ford with his billion, and .1. P. Morgan the Second, with his millions. But they belong to another era. Henry Ford has never been concerned with the accumulation of money, primarily ; he has been concerned with motor cars. supplying the world, with cheap The present J. P. Morgan has n6t been as much concerned with increasing his wealth, as in preserving the wealth he has, the wealth he inherited from J. John D. Rockefeller's contemporaries. Neither of them belong ed to the pioneer money grabbing school. JOHN D. did. Some idea of what a life span of 98 years means, in the chart of human affairs, may be gained from the fact that when the Civil' War broke out John D. had passed his 21st birthday. He was eligible for enlistment. He didn't enlist of course. He was not interested in fighting for his country, he was interested in getting money out of it. With his death that era closes, the era of "rugged individ' ualism"; the era of the Vandcrbilts, the Goulds, the Morgans, Carnegies and the Rockefellers; the era of "may the best man win and the devil take the hindmost." YES from the modern viewpoint, it was an era of selfishness, nonitiaitivanitaa anil irrood hut it was not so regarded at . . . O , that time. By some it is not so social responsibility, of conservation of our natural resources, the idea that democracy is not a free-for-all-race, where only the strongest survive, but a cooperative partnership in which the greatest good for the greatest number, must be paramount, had not yet been bom. . John D. and his contemporaries, stacked the cards, and grabbed, more than what (from rightfully belonged to them. But they didn'i break the rules. For in that golden era, there WERE no rules. It was the lawlessness of the jungle, the rule of the survival of the fittest. And they won, essentially, Because they were more able, more far-seeing, more aggressive and PARTICULARLY more ruthless than their fellows To tin victors belong the spoils, and they were the victors. There were no a,nti-trust laws then, no corporation taxes, no income and no inheritance taxes; and of course no though' of bringing about better conditions for the masses, and a fairer distribution of wealth, through such legislation as the Social Security Act, now upheld, represents. IT is to the credit of John D. Rockefeller, Sr., however, and to Carnegie as well, that they did develop a certain sense of social responsibility They never questioned their moral right to their billions;' they did question their right, to hoard their wealth, and fail to distribute large portions of it, for the benefit of the people of the country, that, in the last analysis, made it possible. In this direction they stood head and should era above the Goulds, the Vanderbilts and the Morgans, who were unable to see above the archaio conception of a continuing plutocratic feudalism. In fact Andre Carnegie declared at one time, that he would regard it as a disgrace to die a rich man. In a strict sense he didn't escape this "disgrace," but in a general sense he did So has Rockefeller. Both men gave away hundreds of millions, for the lasting benefit of the country and its people, and in compsrison with what they might have had, died "poor" when the final summons came. LL credit to them. And yet the principle they represented was wrong, that the benefits of the natural resources of a country, should depend upon the benevolence or the lack of benevolence of half a dozen men who control them. This was the principle that the worthy Karl Marx harped upon, that by its nature the profit system, eventually, sews the seeds of its own destruction. Tha' it can't endure because it results in greater and greater wealth for the few; less and less for the msny, and sooner or later, such a lop-sided and top heavy edifice FALLS of its own weight AS this Social Security Act and other New Deal legislation. shows, this country is now engaged in the important and difficult task of proving that the father of communism was wrong. Proving that democracy, through intelligent reform and readjustment, CAN he made to work, and by a fairer distribution of wealth imposed by law, individual freedom on one hand, and individual security, on the other, CAN be made to endure. It 's a TERRIFIC job But we find, in this dramatic incident in our history, John D. Rockefeller, departing from the scene as Social Security is ushered in a hopeful sign. JOHN D. was the last ot his school and in many ways the best example of it, simple in his tastes, unassuming, emo tionally penurioua but intellectually benevolent. The charges that can be and will be brought against him, are not personal, but properly apply to the system that produced him. However, as the last leaf flutters from that plutocratic tree, a new day dawns. America's King Croesus, th" last of his line is dead, Long live the new king, the king of true democracy, regulated but just and free. At least that is the way we are disposed to regard it, that the death of John I"). Rockefeller marks the definite end of an era, in this country, and the beginning of a tetter one, no: for the fortunate few, but for the rank and file. The end of an era, 'when our national well being was a matter of private charity, and the beginning of an era when the national well being IS inherent in a new social and economic order. - not largesse from the few from dbove. but a social and political responsibility for all I . upholds the Social Security Act! and practical transportation.

The measure of the true artist has always struck me aa being summed up by the Incomparable painter. Corot. He played tag with success and sold his first painting at the age of 61. Felicitated by a friend upon the long-sought recognition, be murmured without enthusiasm: "It Is Indeed nice to sell something at last, but my own collection is polled.' Authors frequently have some amusing and sometimes embarrassing experiences with autographed vol umes. John Kendrick Bangs once sent a complimentary copy of his book. The Houseboat on the Styx, to a well known critic. On the fly leaf he inscribed: "To Brand er Matthews, with the kind regards of the author John Kendrick Bangs." A week or so later he was browsing about the fichu lte book shop when he came upon the same volume lying on a marked-down table. Bangs, being the humorist he was. bought It, and under what he had written previously added: "With renewed kind regards of the author John Kendrick Bangs" And returned the volume to Mat thews. Someone tells me that H. G. Wells will no longer autograph his books because he came upon several In second hand shops. X once came upon a none-too opu lent opus of mine called "White Light Nights" on a sprawl of two-for-a-quarter volumes on a second-hand sidewalk counter in Boston. It had been autographed tenderly and with Affectionate sentiment to a valued friend. Naturally I bought It and turned away bewildered and Just little hurt. Nor could I hide a cer tain :oolness the next time I met my friend. But the matter was cleared up at a later meeting. I men tldned In casual off-hand how I treasured autographed books, and, subscribing to the same sentiment. he told of a discharged servant pur loining more than 100 of hla auto graphed books and selling them to second-hand dealers. I'm certain mine was among the loot. At least !t is more pleasant to think so. It's sharply refreshing how New York fathers now and then don eve ning duds and fare forth to flashy cafes with their gaily bedecked and attractive daughters. Only recently I saw Gurnee Munn, Esmond O'Brien and E. D. Coblentz Indulging such companionship dancing, laughing across the table tops and beaming with mutual pride. The same Is true of many fathers who have the good sense to have a night out at Intervals with collegiate sons. I do not mean nights of carousal but evenings charged with gaiety of drifting from place to place, properly dinner Jack eted and perhaps having a thin goblet of wine with dinner. Thus enjoying the father and son devoirs so notable among the well-bred classes of Eng land. During a stay at Clarldge'a In Londone one winter there appeared dressed formally for dinner nightly a father and son. Always they had one dash of port atter coffee, lifting and touching their glasses solemnly Afterward they ahook hands and ap parently went their separate ways The head waiter told me the mot hoi and wife had been killed tragically in an auto accident two yeare before. Not once had he known them to miss dinner together or fall to drink the toast to her. Pew Incidents in life touched me so profoundly. Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS THE next time somebody tells you (or you reed) thst this Is s TER RIBLE country, full of exploitation of common men, and ought to be MADE OVER after the pattern by which Europe haa been made, con sider these facta: STEEL workers in Pittsburgh csn buy a pound of bacon and a doren eggs with the money they earn for only 36 minutes work. To get the money to buy a pound of bacon and a doren eggs Belgian steel wodkers have to labor SIX AND A HALF HOURS. German steel work era three and a half hours and Eng. llsh workers two hours. FOR the equivalent of 1, minutes labor, the American steel worker can buy . pound of bread and a quart of milk. In Belgium, an hour would be re quired to earn the meney to buy the same thing.. In Oermany 39 minutes and In England a little less than a half hour. ENGLAND la the home of good roait beef. But in England a steel worker re qulrea about M mlnutea of labor to earn a pound of beef. wiie In Ger many 3( minute, are required and In Belgium nearly two hours. In this country, a steel worker can earn a pound of beef In 11 minutes. IN THIS favored country, a steei worker can earn a pound of but ter In 36 minutes. In Oermany it require, two hours. In England al- most an hour and in Belgium POUR hours. WE ARB speaking here of steel workers, because steel workers are a typical class whose earnings are easily arrived at by the statisti cians. To localize the figures here quoted. It Is only necessary to recall that the average of steel workers In the East end lumber workers here on the Pacific Coast are practically tbe same. THE system that enables workers in America to earn the necessi ties of life with PAR LESS labor than la required In the older countries of Europe is the AMERICAN SYSTEM. It Is this same American system that starry-eyed reformera end shout ing demagogues and self-seeking pol Itlciana are seeking eagerly to TEAR DOWN, so thst they may erect in its place a system of managed economy similar to that which has been set up In so many of the countries of Europe. If workers In this country permit themselves to be misled by these cranks into tearing down the Ameri can system of industry and substitut ing for It the "managed economy" that rules in Europe, they will never cease to REGRET thlr mistake. 4 (Continued from Page One ) James Is specializing in secretarial appointments to the various new commissions about town.

With Its green die, vine. .11 around It And the bell' you loved to hear Those will be your hepplest memories And the ones to be cherished so dear. You should not trade all these memories Of the happiest days of your Itfe: When you went to j'vllle HI school, Without worry, care, or strife. When all of you navo parted. And each has gone his way; May these memories be kept and thought of Aa though It were yesterday. The Suns Wooing. How grand Is the earth in the morn lng. When the air Is crisp and cold. When the sun first klssea the flow, ers. And they their petala unfold. When the myriad forms of earth life, That have hidden away for the night, Are anxiously keeping their vigil; For the very first rays of the light. As a maiden responds to her lover. Or the bird to her matellng's call, So yarth life responds to the sun light. And the sun la . wooer to all. By Mary O.
