Standard Oil Methods.

BY neat trick, made possible by its
enormous wealth, the Standard Oil
Company has headed off threatening
rival in the Texas oil field aud made
itself absolute master of the situation.
1t has bought up the wharves, railroad
terminals and shipping facilities at
Port Arthur, the natural shipping
port Of the Beaumont field, together
with 80 900 acres of land in the vicini-
ty, which is doubtless located in such
manner as to preclude any attempt
OF the Texas oil men to establish a
new outlet. 1t would not be profitable
for them to ship their oil to tidewater
at more distant point, and hence
they are at the mercy of the Standard,
and must sell their product to it at its
own price. This is how the ideal trust
overcomes on.-Phlladelphia

Failure To Realize The Benefit or Trees
To Towns.

1t ls almost as difficult to persuade
city magnate that tree is benefactol
TO the town as it is to convince hin
that a high-school building has any
nobler purpose than to be shown by
real estate agents as an attraction tc
hoped for additions to the tax list.
Nevertheless. his education has be.

some day we shall fird him promising
TO plant trees in Yorkville, or on Muir
ray Hill, or in the Kitchen" :" OF the
.'patch," wherever votes may be had
n return. Little by little he will come
TO the realizing sense of the fact that
tree is vote catcher, just as Tam
many now feels, with somewhat more
OF dimness than 1s desirable, that a
clean street on the East Side is a
good thing" When we get the city
magnate SO far We have got him as far
as we can push him OF drop him if he
goes farther, it is of his own enlIghten-
ed nature.
Here are some axioms on this subject
which will do the city magnate no
good, but which will be readily accept
ed by the intelligent voter:
1. A narrow tree shaded street is
better than bare wide one.
A walk under trees is more i'm
proving than trolley ride under |
telegraph and telephone poles
3. The man who cuts down tree,
except for the purpose of saving bet
5er one, is an enemy of the community.
4. A city magnate who will not save
beautiful tree when he can is of much
ess value to the community than the
'ree which he destroys.
Another discOuraging circumstance
is the lack of intelligence which the
;ity magnate displays in planting and
n taking care of trees when he comes
o them. The trees in our new parks,
or example, are dying or growing into
for lack of attention.
