Rockefeller what is “legally honest.” He could, probably, rub up against more kinds of law and still keep out of jail than any other man in America, But he speaks above from the stand point of the law solely, arid he is, in his old age, posing as some-| thing other than a law-dodger, something in the way of a phil anthropist and moralist. That his miserable millions bought an Ohio senatorship 25 years ago doesn't put any moral quality into federal legislation perpetrated with that senator's aid, how ever “legally honest” it may make the tactics of the Standard | Oil cabal. But the old man thinks it does, perhaps, and what-| ever his purchased tools do or have done to make human op- pression, brutish monopoly and hellish greed triumphant and “legally honest,” very likely appears to him to bear all the} brands of purest morality. And so the old man goes on his way toward death, satisfied | that that is right and ought to be imperishable which has been | made “legally honest” by Greed's infamous tactics, and expect-| ing to placate his moral obligations to mankind by donating al college or a hospital to those who have been squeezed, robbed or slain by his own hand-made “legaly honest” methods. | “JUST KIDS” | | | | | | 1 | “Gee, Chimmie, you'll make 4 great drum major some day!” | x =| | IN LITTLE OLD NEW YORK | BY 'ORMAN. | 20.—Miae box office man, Then Miss Zell,| after a hard look at an empty cor ner of ¢ Toom, wanted to know where Miss Whitford picked up her Canadian change, and upon finding NEW YORK, Aug.
