The Iron has entered th« soul of
Editor Morrow, of the Jonesboro En
terprise. Ho te ready to cry, •'Out
upon the strumpet, Fortune," who
plays fast and loo** with hie town,
flirting with and flouting It like the
flokle Jade eke la. The cause of Ed
itor Morrow's woe la contained In the
ensuing wall. He eaya:
It Is Impossible to understand
why President-elect Taft Anally
decided to turn down Joneaboro
and select Augusta as tbo place
for his winter sojourn. Beside*
offering every congenial condition
for sleeping off the Intoxication of
victory, Jonesboro happen* to be
one of the few civilised Houthem
communities which contained
enough niggers and renegade
Democrats to he carried by the
Republican nominee In the recent
eleotlon. It Is a poor aort of a
recommendation, but we hart an
Idea It would appeal to Mr. Taft.
The consideration that appears to
aggravate Editor Morrow's raw epot
la that while "Republican for revenue"
was the motto of the prevailing party
Ilia burg paid the price but la denied
the revenue. Well may he exclaim,
"Jlow keener than a serpent's tooth
Is Ingratitude."
ORATORY AND BU8INES8.
Apropos of the discussion of the
true character and quality of great
orators and oratory It is Interesting to
glance at a few specimens of VA-
muni Burke's power of vituperation
culled by the London Spectator from
his speech impeaching Warren Has
tings. From these It will appear that
what we pigmies of today regard as
license In the use of unparllamtntary
language Is mere child's play In com
parison. Tbs specimens follow;
Tt Is passible Mr.*Hastings might

RELIGION AND MONOPOLY.
The shorter and uglier word Is
avoided In court, hut Frank !■
Kellogg made reiterated refer
ences to It at the Hlanrtard OH
hearing yesterday. John D.
Rockefeller had awnm on hla di
rect examination to the purchase
of certain concerns In the '70s and
thalr union In a working trust un
der the first trust agreement, of
l«7> and had repeated hie testi
mony on earlier cross-examina
tion. Mr. Kellogg sprung upon
him yesterday an affidavit Which
be (Mr Rockefeller) had made In
in an Ohio auU and which
Mr. Rockefeller swore that the
Btandard Oil Company did not
own these same concerns—News
Article tn New York Bun.
This was vsry awkward for Mr
Rockefeller, and no donbt many will
think tt almost a sacrilege to corner In
this cruel fashion a man who la to re
ligious and #o rich. But candor com
pels the remark that we have here one
, more confirmation of the obvious truth
that monopoly and religion do not
readily go hand In hand*.
In the Bible class of Mr. Rockefel
ler's son the text relating to the king
dom of heaven and the rich man. the
eye of the needle and the camel, has
been interpreted In such a manner as
to bring comfort to every trust mag
nate's heart. The earns teacher has
justified the Rtendard'Oll monopoly
on the ground that the large Ameri
can beauty roe* can be produced only
by pinching all the ether buda off the
bush and thus employing the whole
strength of the plant In the expansion
and perfecting of a single bloom. But

his Bible class that the trust magnate

dsatroy ths country."
It Is clearly Impossible that any
orator could utter such language to
such an audience as Burke addressed
without thrilling hta hearers to the
core.
They say Burke was called
"dinner bell" because when he got up
It was the signal for the members of
the House of Commons to disappear,
or as Ollvsr Goldsmith said of him,
doubtless with poetic license, that
Burks "went on refining" while the
members thought "only of dining.
And It Is possibly true that In ths
course of the seven years covered by
Hastings' trial hta auditors sometimes
tired of Burke’s exhaustive review of
the fRet Indian situation, but the
fault here must have been tn
hearers rather than In the orator. For
Burke's mastery of the details of the
Rest India Company's exploitation of
that unfortunate people waa a marvel
of Industry not only for hla own time
but for our time aa well, it
probable that the England of 'Burke's
time did not appreciate' the enormity
of Hastings' regime, or that political
England. If It did, covered It up, In
pursuance of the usual policy of gov
ernments to do great wrong* that a
little good may be gained.
We have had an Inatanca akin to It,
perhaps, In the Ilf* and career of Ben
ator John T. Morgan, the late grand
old man of Alabama. Morgan, like
Burke, was an Indefatigable worker
and talker and ho waa ths "dinner
bell" of the United 8tatea Ronate
The last year* of his Ilfs were de
voted to the cause of a successful
fnter-oceanie oanal, but he was unal
terably committed to the Nicaragua
route and he never became reconciled
to the adoption of the Pgnama route.
He was firmly convinced that a great
crime was Involved in ths .Intrigues
which resulted In the selection of the
Panama route, and to the vsry test
he strove te Impress his views upon
Congress and ths country. William
Nelson Cromwell was ths man who
stood tn ths relation of Warren Hast
ings in this latter day conspiracy. ’.o
Morgan's mind, and ths lost days of
Morgan's active careeer were spent tn
trying to make this still mysterious
man disclose some of ths secrets of the
Panama business. Morgan Is dead,
but there are still persons who van
ture the prediction from tfin* to time
that the Panama canal wHl never ba
finished; there are historians now m
ths flesh who will set down at Its
proper estimate the revolution cop
cocted by subjects of ths United
States and executed with ths aaata

which Panama was wrested from Its
parent government: and some of us

CARNEGIE AND ROCKEFELLER—A
PARALLEL.
Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rocko-
fslier are rtmaifcabte men. They are
femiricnbl# products of a remarkable
era. They would doubtless have been
successful min—remarkable men '.n
any era and under any conditions.
But in no other period of the world
nor under any other conditions of so
ciety then those which have obtained
In tbl* country tn the last half century
could they have developed In one gen
eration from penniless youths Into
Mldaaes of such fabulous wealth that
the actual experiment of trying to
give their money away In lump sums
amounting to fortunes haa no appre
ciable effect upon them to diminish
their volumes, or to atop the Increase
of their fortunes.
The careers of these two men, co
eval In their beginning and in their
extent, wer# prosecuted under the
self-same conditions and with similar
personal characteristics of Industry,
frugality, temperance and shrewd bus
iness Judgment and foresight. Oper
ating thus along parallel lines, with
similar capacities and under the same
conditions. It is more a matter of cal
culation than of coincident that they
should today present to the world the
two foremost representative products
of the "Protection run mad" arm, and
of the allied trust evil which consti
tute the commercial and economic his
tory of this country since the War Be
tween the States.
But today we are happy to note
there Is a divergence In the parallel
between these two men^ since both did
not see fit to travel ths saner and bet
ter road. On the one hand w« have
Mr. Carnegie frankly confessing the
morel and economic evil Inherent in
the continuance of the system on
which he ha* grown great, and coun
selling the gradual or total return to
juster and healthier methods, while
on the other we have Mr. Rockefeller
aa candidly admitting under compul
sion the Immoral methods by which «it
and his fellows got their start of ths
rest of the world; but unlike Mr. Car
negie, seeking with all hla powers of
aophlatry and persuasion to garb them
with ths veneer of a false benevolence
and righteousness and to permanently
fastsn on the world the code of com
msrclal dishonesty. What Mr. Car
negie alone can do to reverse the con
ditions from which ho ha* profited
and undo the evil that haa been
wrought Is problematical. What tho
two men could do by Joining hands
and working together In this direction
would doubtless be much. But there
can be no doubt that the world will
award to the Ironmaster the judgment
of having truly seen the light when he
says as he does In the December Cen
tury that the "Infant Industries" .hav
ing been abundantly enabled to stand
on their own feet with the help of
protection should now be required to
do so without further tariff duties
than Is necessary to produce a gov
ernmental revenue.
