IDA TARBELL 5 Tarbell thought that Steffens had a fresh form of reportorial attack (Tarbell, 1939). Lincoln was persuaded to take over the editing of McClure’s (Tarbell, 1939). In Steffen’s “autobiography” he credited Tarbell with a tact in their editorial scrimmages, which Ida claims she doesn’t deserve (Tarbell, 1939). Ida Tarbell exposed John Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company monopoly. Tarbell was the main journalist out of many who caught Rockefeller in his monopoly.
