THE Standard Oil Co. has increased the price
of oil and gasoline 70 per cent. This in the
face of the fact that the products have doubled
and the cost of refining decreased in the last
year. Where is your supply and demand
theory to come int If any monarch should arbi
trarly raise the tax 10 per cent, he would invite
revolution. But monarch of the oil, meat,
coffee or other necessity can do so with impun-
ily and the scratch of pen. 1t may be great
to be king, but it is greater to be m inager of
trust in country where the people are afraid
to have the public (themselves) own anything.
Can't somebody stop this finding of new oil
districts that keep on increasing the price of
oila 1t is getting serious.-People's Voice,

Opie Read author of "The Kentucky COL
onel," says: "All men love their country, but
all politicians are not men," Rather hard on
politicians, but there's lots of room to dodge.
Republicans will claim that it is Democrats
who are referred to. Democrats will claim
that it is Republicans. Should both parties be
hard pressed to clear their skirts, they will be
sure to join hands and lay the infamy on Popu-
lists. 1t would tickle me if they would, for
Opie Read used that assertion in an article in
the Chicago American, in which he handled
the navy department for the dirty manner in
which it had treated Admiral Schley. Ad-
mitting the truth Of Opie Reads assertion, I
would like to know what kind of thing a
politician is who is not man. Is he an ami
NAL, bird or imp, or is he combination of ALL
imp predominating2

WHAT WILL HE DO?

IA working man in the Presidency" is the
subject of an article in the current number of
the Cosmopolitan from the pen of the editor,
John Brisben Walker. Col. Walker writes in
his usual interesting style and gives it as his
opinion that "We have the foundation of a
grand administrative career" for these reasons:
"Presdent Roosevelt is free to be the head,
not of political party, but of the nation.'
"He has the courage, mental and physical. I"
"He has that thorough knowledge of affairs
which will permit him to act wisely"
"The only question which remains is this:
Has he the power of mental endurance which
resists the endless pressure brought to bear
upon president hour after hour, day after day,
month after month, by party associates-men
whom he likes, men whom he admires in their
public and private career, men who support his
policy in the senate and house of representa-
tives, men who in certain measure place him
under obligation, men who are wise in their
way and men who have many of them the well
fare of the public at hearth"

NOT LAND,
United States Supreme Court Decides
FOurfeen RinpA CRxe

Washington, Dec. 4.-Opinions were
rendered in the United States supreme
court yesterday in the last Of the in
sular test cases. One of them was tina
known as the Fourteen Diamond
Rings case, involving the relationship
of the United States to the Philippine
islands from a tariff point of view and
the other that is known as the "Dooley
Case No.. q" involving the constitu-
t~iorality of the collection of duty on
goods shipped from the United States
to Porto Rico. In the former case the
court, through Justice Fuller, held that
the diamond rings brought in from the
Philippines n over which the case
arose., should have been exempt from
duty, from the Paris treaty of peace,
In that the treaty made the Philippines
American territory. The decision in
the Philippines case followed closely
that Of the first Porto Rican case Of
last term. In the Dooley case decided
yesterday 1T was held that the duty
collected on goods shipped from New
York tc Porto Rico was permissible,
but that 1T was in reality a tax for the
benefi of the Porto Ricans themselves
rather than an export duty as was
claimed by the merchants who antag-
onized the government in the case.
In both cases there were dissenting
opinions concurred in by four of the
nine justices of the court.
The decisions were rendered in he
room of the senate committee on jul
dietary, where the court is sitting tenn
porarily, and owing to the limited
space, there was comparatively few
persons, and those lawyers, present.
h delivery of the opinion In chief,
with the reading of the dissenting opin-
ions consumed a little more than an
hou of time, and were listened to with
the closest attention.
1t Is generally believed that the find
ing in the Philippines case will lead to
early efforts to secure legislation for
the regulation Of our commercial rela-
lions with those islands. AS the Porte
Rican opinion sustains the constitu-
tionality of the Foraker act no such
necessity will rise with respect to Porto
Rico.
