EDITORIAL NOTES
By J. D. iVATSON
John D. Rockefeller, envious of the nice
things that have been said about “Andy”
Carnegie’s $10,000,000 gift to insure peace
throughout the world, has come across with a
$10,000,000 gift to insure the permanent suc
cess of Chicago University.
Chicago University is already Rockefeller
in spirit. The students are taught that Rocke
feller is the greatest man living, and that his
business methods are above reproach. Very
few professors of the institution dare have an
opinion that is not Rockefeller's, and it is
their first duty to make the students the same
wav.

Each year hundreds of young students are
fed on Rockefeller, with Standard Oil as a
chaser, and the majority of the people never
seem to realize that the old criminal is simply
doing what he thinks will influence public
opinion his way when he makes his donations
to the Baptist churches and to Chicago Uni
versity.
Let Mr. Rockefeller continue to plunder the
American people under the Payne-Aldrich
tariff, and swindle the English government
out of its income tax through the Vacuum Oil
Companies, and Mr. Rockefeller will be able
American Awarded Medal
On a Rupture Device
Mr. F. J. Stuart, an American residing
in St. Louis, was recently awarded a
medal and diploma showing certificate
of merit of the first class, by a London
Institute. Mr. Stuart is inventor of the
STUART PLAS-TR-PAD for rupture.
Letters pattent have been granted by
many governments on this form of
Hernia support, and medicine applica
tor. The purpose of this support is to
securely hold the rupture in place, and
also supply a soothing and healing
remedy thereto, which will be taken up
and absorbed by the pores to heal and
relieve the parts of pain. When pat
ent was granted in Great Britain, Mr.
Stuart also obtained the Medal and
Diploma. Truss wearers will no doubt
appreciate an invention of such ex
ceeding worth as to merit such notice.
By addressing Mr. Stuart at St. Louis,
Mo., those interested will probably be
furnished full information.

This Furnace prevents all danger of
open fires so often experienced on
windy days, endangering the lives of
women and children, particularly. It
is made of %-inch Boiler Steel and is
exceedingly durable. Is intended for
boiling clothes, cooking feed for stock,
rendering lard; in fact, for any purpose
where a brass or iron kettle is used.
It is safer, more convenient and will
outlast the ordinary brick oven. Is
movable to any place where needed, in
the yard, to the pen, or wherever it will
be most convenient. It will boil water
with 1-3 the fuel in % the time that is
required for an open fire, and from this
point alone will pay for itself in a
short while. The cost price is low
enough to put it within reach of every
body. Call at your nearest hardware
dealer and examine. If your dealer
does not handle these furnaces, write

to make more appropriations for the Chicago
University and build more churches.
Just so true as what Mr. Rockefeller has
given to religion been stolen, just so true is
the fact that what Mr. Carnegie has given to
ward the furtherance of peace he has taken
from the people in preparing our government
for war.
Just as Mr. Rockefeller has made his mil
lions out of his Oil Trust, Mr. Carnegie has
made his out of Steel.
The Rockefeller oil companies and the Car
negie steel companies have been - about the
most favored industries in the country.
All that they wanted at Washington they
could get by saying the word.
About the time that Congress was due to
take up the Appropriations Bill a war scare
about needing a more powerful navy started
and ended when Congress appropriated sev
eral millions to the Steel Trust.
(One strange thing about the war scare is
that all-important Willie Heart’s great reform
papers always lead the fight to give the Steel
Trust more.)
Hearst’s papers are always trying to help
the Steel Trust gang by howling for a bigger
navy, which means money in Carnegie’s
pocket.

The fact has leaked out that the Steel Trust
has laid off between forty and fifty thousand
of its men during the past month or so and
the number will likely reach seventy-five thou
sand.
This doesn't tally well with the Trust mag
nate’s statements about the tariff making pros
perous times and being such a good thing for
the workingmen of the country..
If there is one industry that is protected by
the tariff, has the tariff arranged just to suit
it, and has enjoyed special privileges and
numerous favors from government officials, it
is the steel industry.—the Steel Trust.
Vet this most favored among the big Trusts
admits by its action that a high protective
tariff does not make such prosperous times.
If times are so prosperous under the present
tariff, why is the Steel Trust discharging its
men at such a rapid rate? The discharge of
the men means less output from the mills and
less output from the mills means a dropping
off in the demand for steel.
The truth of the matter is, the Trust con
trolling its supply of raw material, our home
market, and the power to fix the price of steel
at whatever figure it cares to has overshot the
mark.
All competition has been shut out, the price
of all steel products raised so high that they
are almost prohibitory, has done the work.
