Mark Twain Letter Attacks Rockefellers Gift
The Socorro Chieftain reprints Mark Twain’s Harper's Weekly letter attacking John D. Rockefeller’s gift to a foreign missionary fund. Twain mocks conscience money and perjury accusations, arguing the board accepts gifts from the wealthy and should also accept Rockefeller's. Socorro residents react to the controversial remarks and the controversy over the sanitarium site. E. P. Morton, former School of Mines student, may have secured a position in Ely, Nevada. The paper notes a fancy stationery sale at the office.
