John D. Goes Security Comes
JOHN D. 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,

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

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Turpentine
Could any injury to health become
apparent 18 months after on had
taken two tablespoonfuls of turpen
tine internally? A. L.
Answer One of the ill effects from
swallowing turpentine Is Inflamma
tion of kidneys. This might develop
into a more definite nephritis or
Brlght's disease In that time.
Aluminum Chloride.
You recommended a solution of
one-half ounce of aluminum chlo
ride in three ounces of water for
application to the arm pita for three
successive days, for the control ot
perspiration. Would it be all right
to use this regularly, provided one
applies It only three days each week?
A. H.
Answer Yes, a long as it does
not set up undue Irritation. '
Why. Doctorl
Our doctor Just takes his clinical
thermometer from Its case, swishes
It a moment in a glass of water or
runs cold water from the tap over
It, then puts It In a patient's mouth.
Could not Infection be carried that
way? (M. V. F.)
Answer Yes. Some physicians car
ry the thermometer In a strong ger
micidal solution. In any case it
should be washed with, soap and
water or with alcohol or other ger
micidal or antiseptic solution.

Authors frequently have some
amusing and sometimes embarrassing
experiences with autographed vol

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"

which Europe haa been made, con
sider these facta:
STEEL workers in Pittsburgh csn

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

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.

recommendation from nearly every
one. Even the vice president had
aoked Mr. Kennedy not to make the
appointment until a conference could
be arranged.
Just as the Russell appointment
was about to go through, a stop order
came from the White House. Mr.
Kennedy personally explained to sen

an old Harvard classmate and noth
ing could be done about it.
Senators understood, but they have
not forgotten It.

interested congressmen. He has let
them read the message and make sug
gestions. That is how the leak de

recommend a 40-hour week and a $16
minimum wage with loopholes. Too
many people knew about It.
Most authorities, however, decided
to wait until they saw the final form
of the message In print before com
mitting themselves.

J'nile High
(Dedicated to tfte Senior, of Jack
sonville high by Freds Butcher)
Many a day has come and gone
And many year ,ped by
Since you walked in those welcome
doors
Ot that good old J'vllle HI.
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.
