Of the ballot and render practically
valueless the most wholesome lesson to
political criminals ever taught in an

Inequality increases as society nd
vances from the elementary to the

But because of this are we prepared
to return to the original tribal condi-

remove inequality and ameliorate its
effects that should engage every good
citizen, that the whole moral nature
Of the community is advanced with the

AFTER, STANDARD OIL.

Ohio Attorney General Asks For a Decree
+ RI Against u Branch Company. 5s
CLEVELAND, Nov. 11.-State's Attor.
ney General Monett announces that he
has fled another petition against the
Standard Oil company in the Ohio su.
prelne coart. The case this time is
against the Union Tank Line company
which is incorporated under the laws Of
New Jersey, and which came into exist.
ence very shortly after the decree Of the
supreme court of this state ordering the
Standard Oil company to wind up its
affairs. The stockholders of the Union
Tank Line company, Mr.. Monett says
are practically the same as those of the
Standard Oil company, and the com.
pany was organized simply for the pur.
pose Of furthering the Standard com.
pany in its efforts to evade the decision
Of the supreme court. The petition asks
that the defendants be compelled to
show cause why they should not be
ousted from doing business in Ohio.

not far to seek. Both in England and
America very valuable jewels are kept

paste stones are worn. Probably not one
