SITUATION AS TO. MR. ROCKE-
rfisMucr' !
Rockefeller gave out the
statement from th« Standard Oil of-
New York Thursday night
that he expected to vote- for W. H.
Taft and also gave a statement of
reasons for this course.
National Democratic Chairman Nor
an E. Mack says that Rockefeller's
declaration for Teft is the result of e
deal between the Republican National
Committee and the Standard Oil In
teresta.
official statement from tbi
White House represents the President
'amused" at the Rockefeller de
claratlon "in view of what the admin
fstration has done to the Standard
Oil Company," and as denouncing it
at "a trick on the part of tha Stand
ard Oil pdople to damage Taft." Ml
Taft Is also reported aa saying that
the declaration la not calculated to do
him any good In the election and la
therefore not a friendly act.
No doubt President Roosevelt was
surprised but scarcely "amused" at
Mr. Rockefeller's announcement, and
no doubt Mr. Taft would greatly have
preferred a silent vote from that quar
ter, but the common eense of every
one will rsedtly suggest that Mr.
Rockefeller's statement la a frank
one, or aa frank at least aa any that
can be expected from that Quarter.
Mr. Rockefeller Is, first of all. a bus

tactics. Ha does not ask Theodore
Roosevelt's permission to support the
Republican ticket He Is more likely
to be -amused" at the Idea than
Roosevelt could possibly have been
at Rockefeller's announcement. Rocke
feller was part owner and a dlreotor
of tha fortunes of the Republican par.

politically. In the vary xantth of the
boasted "trust bust#***" power Rocks

was largely precipitated by the rebate

when the President's boasted measure

of the elauie which bore specifically

This incident Illustrates the real
Issue between the two parties today
for tha, people to consider. Taft. If
elected, may have tie beet wishes tn
the world to do th# right thing, but
be will be os powerless aa Roosevelt
baa untfbrmly proved himself to be
when he tried to do anything counter
to the wlahea of the "Interests" that
dominate the Republican party. If
Bryan la elected, on the contrary, it
wlU be notice to the "interests" that
thetr day has passed and that the
people propose to resume control of
their government
It Is wonderful with*what unanim

unless Bryan gets mors electoral votes
than ^afl*tbe Utter will be elected,
and vloe versa.

frailness of Stephens' body might
alone account for the Interest he al
ways aroused. . . . That
was not all. however. Out of a cruel
struggle w^h poverty In his ch'ldhood.
Stephens had brought an lntejite sym
pathy with suffering, end a deep sense
of human brotherhood. To whites
and blacks alike he endeared himself.
In his personal relations, by counties#
generosities. Thrre were more rea
sons than one why he was the* kind
of mnn people liked to see and hear.
So far from making too much of
hla personal traits, I think Mr. Pen
dleton makes too little, although he
presents him very well. . . .
Apparently It is Stephens' part in the
great sectional controversy, and that
controversy Itself, which has absorbed
his biographer. Air. Pendleton turns
from the man to hla times as often a*
Theodore Roosevelt doee In his Benton.
| In another series: but of theao two
biographers Mr. Pendleton is decld-
edi* the superior In knowledge cf hla
background. He belongs, one would
say. to that school of southern work
er* In history—Including euch men
aa Prof. W. F. Hemming and Mr.
A. H. Stone—which is distinguished
less by freedom from the ten** of a
duty of loyalty to their section than
by painstaking thoroughness and a
rather formidable readiness with veri
fied facta. Should Mr. (Jamea Fbrd)
Rhode* ever revise hla earlier volume*,
he ahould find It worth hit while to
read Mr. Pendleton'* chapters on
"Nullification at the North," "Georgia
Secedes" and th* "South'# Handicaps
In tha War." . ....
Mr. Pendleton U weakest; I thliflc.
In hla discussion of the question of
the right of aeceaalon. . .
Lika. Mr. Charles Francis Adams end
ether recent writers, he attaches. I
think, too much Importance to mere
selflth section movement# and declara
tion# looking toward separation, as
throwing light on the nature of the
constitutional’ t^ond, . . •
He Is strongest, on the other hand,
when he Is setting forth the case of
the south against the north, particu
larly In th# matter of the actual his
tory of slavery and th* slave trade.
It waa General Lee’s conviction that
the north had Really oppressed tho
,»outh—not his adhesion to the seces
sionist theory—which larteljr governed
him in hla momentou* decision In
1851: and th# trend of recent writ
ing on this general them# Is t^wird a
more and more respectful considera
tion of the aouth'a contentions. *
