Johnson got a serious hearing from an influential group. That is to be regretted. It will simply sprea: more misunderstanding and more prejudice, where the need of the situation is understanding and cooperation, not alone for the farmer but for all the country's interests. President anc Publisher WHAT JOHN D. TYPIFIES John D. Rockefeller has passed another milestone. He is 89 years old now, and the columns of space given his birthday by the daily papers testify to the power of his name as a symbol. The name, Rockefeller, has almost ceased to mean an individual, with human likes, desires and frailties. For more than a generation it has stood for great wealth; when we hear it we think, in passing, of a spare, slightly withered old man—-but most of all we think of a mighty fortune. To all intents and purposes, no man can go higher along the path of getting money than Rockefeller has gone. That is quite proper; for Rockefeller was supremely typical of the era in which he rose to power. Future generations will find in the story of his life a very adequate history of the customs, morals, conditions and ideals of America in the great Gilded Age. Rockefeller began life as a poor man’s son—a very poor man’s son. He started his career as a clerk on starvation wages. From the beginning he knew what he wanted; every act of his life was devoted to gaining his end. His climb began slowly, then gathered momentum rapidly; a dizzy rush upward followed, in which competitors were ruthlessly wrecked or ab- sorbed, while the Rockefeller fortune became a vast, overshadowing giant, holding almost unlimited power over money and men. Many men admired him; many more hated him. And this hatred arose not so much from a dislike of his business methods as from a dim, subconscious sort of feeling that no one man ought to have so much power. Democratic America, that began as a nation of farmers and woodsmen, had developed into a nation of industry and finance. Rockefeller saw the implica- tions before anyone else, and acted on them. His rise symbolized, to the average man, an unwelcome change in American conditions, and for long his name was anathema. All of that has changed. In his old age Rockefeller has won the public’s affection. Pictures of him and stories about him are always received eagerly by news- paper readers. He is one of America’s most popular figures. That changed attitude is generally ascribed to his great benefactions. Unquestionably he has used his wealth wisely and well. Yet it seems that there is another reason. The country has accepted the change that has come upon it. It has discovered that indus- trialization does not necessarily mean the end of all the old American virtues. It has learned that domin- ance by bank, factory and railroad brings new adv tages as well as new problems.

(Official City, State and County Newspaper) JUDGE CHARLES M. POLLOCK North Dakotans learned with sincere regret Tues- day of the death at Fargo of Judge Charles M. Polleck. He was an honored citizen of this state. Jurist, churchman, pioneer, citizen of fine ideals, his life work counted large in the making of North Dakota in the last 40 years. Few men in this state had a wider circle of friends in every walk of life. Judge Pollock knew men and he loved them. So he made of John Haas, the Moorhead publican, a friend who trusted and revered him and was a eom- fort to Haas in the closing years of his life, as he made friends of all with whom he came in contact during a busy life. Judge Pollock was a man of high ideals. He never forsook them. He worked unceasingly and unselfishly that they might be realized in his lifetime and in the lifetime of generations to come. The good that men do lives after them. Judge Pollock’s enduring friendships are his monuments. They are everywhere in this state. His work is written in the state’s laws and in many censtructive fields of endeavor in North Dakota. The state mourns the passing of a good and upright citizen, a just judge and a lovable man. i Perey HOWARD ELLIOTT PASSES To some men it is given to live largely, to achieve much and to accept great responsibilities for other: men. Of these was Howard Elliott, long connected with the Northern Pacific railroad in the northwest, who passed away this week at his home at Cape Cod. Mr. Elliott rehabilitated the Northern Pacific rail- road at a time in its affairs when that was a big job. Later he did as much for the New York, New Haven & Hartford. He was a big executive, with fine per- sonality, tremendous vision and dynamic punch. Howard Elliott was a special friend of the north- west. He saw its possibilities. In his railroad work here he achieved the greatest good will between the Northern Pacific and its constituency and he has ever “been found predicting for this country a great future. As a transportation executive Mr. Elliott was of special value because of his views on public relations between transportation companies and their constit- uencies. Wherever he went Mr. Elliott improved those relations to mutual advantage. In one of his last written articles, appearing in the current issue of the Review of Reviews, upon which The Tribune commented two days before his death, he predicted great growth for North Dakota and gave impressive reasons for his prediction. Howard Elliott was a big man, a friend of the north- west and he served it well. to do as much as he can for his fellows, is typical of the change that has come over the country as a whole. High finance and big business are no longer bugbears. We have developed and we have grown wiser. Like Rockefeller, we have reached maturity. THE NEW HOLIDAY HAZARD After years of campaigning, this country finally . managed to reduce the menace of Fourth of July fire- works. Some lives were lost this last Fourth by this means, but the toll was much lower than it used to be. But a new campaign seeems to be needed. Automo- bile traffic took the lives that were saved from the fireworks hazard. Independence Day brought unus- ually heavy traffic. In the streams of cars were many motorists who were too inexperienced to cope with the situation. The result: a perfectly staggering list of fatal accidents. It is high time that something drastic be done about motor traffic fatalities. When every national holiday means that from 100 to 200 Americans will be killed by automobiles, the situation has reached the unbear- able stage. It is time to act. Editorial Comment | TAKING POLITICS SERIOUSLY (St. Paul News) Some people don’t deserve parliaments. They take things too seriously, too earnestly. There have been time: our congress when rep- e been so wrought up in ther that it looked as if resentatives or senators their arguments with they were going to jump at each ot! then a half-hour later they were to be found of the congressional restaurants peacefully side by side eating ham and—. a he other side of the picture is this.
