Barring, | ® course, unforeseen ‘changes of plan’’ such as, in twelve instances, have Mayed progress on the Hall of Records. The main element of humor library “joke” has been contributed by “legal complications and d tape.” But the result of the postponement by which 4,000,000 books havi atinued for years to await accessible housing is none the less unfortu i ¢ because the reasons for it are less open to criticism. AN EYE OUT FOR “MR, RAFFLES.” Are you keeping an eye out for The Evening World's “My. Raffles,” is wandering about seeking a discoverer and whose datection will] ¢ with it a reward of $100? He has left innumerable clues to his iden- | -. in all parts of the city—in restaurants and theatres, in parks and pub- d in a way to invite observation, and with a freedom which would hazardous if it were not for the facilities which the wilderness of a at city furnishes for a man to lose himself from view. The Evening World's daily developing portrait of “Mr. Raffles,” |.¢ h will ultimately reveal his full features, will make you feel sure of M nizing him on the street at first sight. But will you be able to do ‘0? Actually, positive identification by means of the ordinary physical xs 2N0. TIME arks involves rare keenness of perception. No sense is so self-de-| ON ive as eyesight, and a man's “doubles” abound.

SEE,” said the Cigar Store man, “that Rev. Dr. MacArthur, in his SET trenzica aetense of John D. Rockefeller, says that the oll mag- mate is an ideal hueband and a devoted father.” “Bo wes ‘Eat-'Dm-Up-Jack’ McManus,” replied the Man Higher Up, “according to the family standards prevalent in his set. Bigelow, the Milwaukee banker, who stole a million, was an ideal % | husband and devoted father. It don’t set a man ahead with the people to .| play up what a etar performer he is in being good to his family, “This detense of John D, Rockefeller by the Rev. Dr. MacArthur is certainly entertaining reading, It bristles with hot stuff, The reverend gentleman boldly asserts that John D. Rockefeller has increased the price of oll to'the producer—by which, we infer, he means that John D, Rocke- feller has made the production of of! more profitable. All of which | straight goods, but it would be more effective If John D. Rockefeller him- ®j-self did not have a monopoly of oll production. The independent producers > fout in Kansas, who are on the ground and know the smell of ofl as it gushes, don’t agree with Rev, Dr. MacArthur at all, In fact they had to threaten to put up a State refinery before they could force the Standard tl Company to buy their crude of] at a living price. + ©Dr, MacArthur makes the poiut that Mr. Rockefeller has made hun treds wealthy as well as himself, Surely he didn't expect Mr. Rocke~ | feller tohog tt all. Nor does he say anything about the hundreds whom | Mr, Rockefeller made poor. Perhaps Dr, MacArthur never lived in @ mall city in which a man by dint of honesty and perseverance had suc- s| ceeded in building up a trade in ofl with his own wagons and tanks only to see the Btandard Oil enter the field, kill the business and finally force ‘+the man who spent years in establishing the industry to drive a tank at 92m day. rr. Rockefeller should engage with his apologists to beat it to | wcave: Ob and permit themselves to be clamped in. He has stood ‘pat too dong to let lawyers and ministers trf to square him,” ‘guill,” declared the Cigar Store Man, “there are some convincing passages in(Dr. MacArthur's effort.” H “Yes,” agreed the Man Higher Up, “especially that one about the genius of, Mr. Rockefeller in selecting bungs.
