If the Standard pipe line monopoly
had not grossly abused its privileges and
the Pennsylvania railroad company had
not shamefully Disseminated between
oil shippers, or if they would even now
not interfere with contemplated pipe
lines in their purchase, upon reasonable
terms, of rights of way, there would be
no demand for a free pipe line law but
as their combined monopoly has placed
four millions of people at the mercy OF
q score or less of cOnfederated capitalists
who have broken up Pennsylvania indus
tries far more effectually than was ever
threatened by free trade, common fair
ness as we'll as common sense. have sug-
gested that it be put out of the power of
the monOpolies to prevent fair competi-
tion in the business of common carriage.
There is no reason why farmers who are
injured directly or Indirectly by pipe
lines, should not recover amply for pre-.
sent or future damages, If any easue.
But the present effort to excite their
fears is not nearly so intense or reasona.
bic as was the first opposition to rail-
roads, and it is not likely to be any more
effective.

that transpired in the early times in that
famous old county which have made it
historic. Mrs. Vandever was in the pos

Of her son here will deeply sympathise
