A dispatch to the Chicago Record
Herald under date of Cleveland, Oc
tober 8, follows: In Ms closing talk
to the Sunday school class of tho
Euclid Avenue Baptist church, of
which ho is superintendent, John D.
Rockefeller today made a compari
son of tho crops that grow in the
field and the crops that may bo cul
tivated by each person that will be
of more benefit than those which
grow In the ground. In giving rules
for making a heaven on earth, Mr.
Rockefeller said: "I don't know how
many of you children have been in
the country this year, but many of
you have come to see me at my
homo and have made me happy. I
want to ask you what crops you have
harvested this year. I won't find
fault if you have not doiiQ very well,
nor if you have forgotten, for we
older ones do the same thing, but
strugprlo along again and resolve to
do better. I want to suggest to you
children that you foster tho spirit
that prompts us to speak a kindly
word and that exrends tho hand
heartily. Some of us have not had
much education, some or us nover
were graduated from college, but we
can raise crops just tne same. Let
us cultivate that crop right here in
our own city, in New York, or wher
ever we may be. Another crop that
we can cultivate is charity. Still
another crop that wo can- raise is
that of good will. Patience, charity
and good will toward others are ever
so much better for ourselves and for
others than are tho material crops
that grow out of the ground. I feel
like a sponge because I have ab
sorbed so many blessings during my
stay in tho city, but I remind you
that we should bo like the numn.
"which not only suens up but also
gives out. If you will cultivate the
virtues that I have mentioned you
can make a heaven on earth for your
selves and for all those with whom
you associate."

the Japanese minister to the Nether
lands. Something over a year and a
half ago he decided to come to the
United States and get a practical tin
sight into railroading. During all this
time Kaiwai has shared the common
lot and hardships of fellow-Japanese,
whose only ambition was to continue
as they had begun uneducated labor

"EDUCATION"
The Chicago Record-Herald says:
In anticipation of a bitter' fight for
rate legislation in congress this win
ter, the railroads of the country are
conducting a "campaign of educa
tion," the object of which, according
to tho highest railroad authorities, is
to prevent any successful tampering
by President Roosevelt and lesser
agencies with the present conditions.
This campaign is being pushed into
every city, hamlet and section of the
country. For tho support of the move
ment there is available "as much
money as Is needed." From such
information as is procurable, the
"campaign of education" is costing
the railroads about $1,500,000 a year.
Some railroad men say this estimate
is too high, but others believe the
cost, will bo more than that. The
money is handled in tho east, and the
western railroad men profess to have
only a vague idea of the total ex
penditures, The particular brand of
"education" figuring in tho campaign
is original with the railroad pro
pagandists. It is the sort that "edu
cates" the public without the public
.becoming aware it Is being "edu
. cated." Tho managers of the cam
paign merely "loose the "educational"
germ, and .through the process known
to medical men aa autoinoculatinn
the public is expected to awake and
And itself 'educated" in all the rea
sons why tho roads declare President
Roosevelt is wrong in urging railroad
rates control.
