Trust Philanthrophy.

Another outlet has been found by the
Standard Oil Company for the large profits
which are being squeezed from the necessi-
tous public this winter. The corporation
IS about to establish great pension fund,
which will enable any employee, from presi-
dent down to the commonest laborer, to re-
tire, upon reaching the age of sixty-four
years. after twenty-five years of service,
with pay equal to one-fourth of what he
receives at the time of retirement, after
one year of retirement at half pay. No an
nouncernent is yet made of the number of
employees who will be affected by this pro-
ject or of the total annual sum which will
be required to float the pension fund. Sta
tlstics giving this information will be later
produced, II is promised. so that the public
can know where its money is going.
While the Standard Oil Company is not
at all reticent In proclaining acts eff gen.
crosby toward its patrons. 1t has been very
slow about telling the public just why it
has increased the prices OF it's products. Up
to date there has been no more direct state
ment than that the refined oil costs more
TO produce at present, without specifications.
to which the people assuredly entitled
in these days of fuel distress. One of the
corporations few champions has declared
that the product retails now for a higher
rate because the demand for 1t Is greater.
That has been generally suspected. The
people must have oil now as never before
and the demand undoubtedly is greater.
80 much, greater that the addition of from
one to five cents a gallon to the price at
retail means a difference to the public of
many millions of dollars. which it can ill
afford to spend at this season of high prices
for every necessity of life.
This is. therefore poor time for benefi-
cences by the oil trust. They have too d.
rect connection with the mulcting of the
consumers in the extra profits earned by
the corporation without a penny Of added
cost. 1t is poor time. too. for purchases
of great oil-producing territories by the
Standard OIL Company to become public
especially as those purchases make Its
monopoly more absolute. and it's grip on
the public purse tighter.

Indiana's Anti-Mob Law,

Gov. Durbin has refused to reinstate the
Indiana sheriff who lost his Office because
of having surrendered a prisoner to a mob
who put the man to death. Presumably the
investigation showed that the officer had
not exerted himself sufficiently to protect
his prisoner. The mob question has many
sides. though none Of course is in favor Of
the mob. Money damages against the
county in which lynching occurs has it's
advocates. A stricter investigation by
grand juries is the plainest of duties. But
maybe this Indiana statute promises the
best results. 1t has repeatedly been shown
that thoroughly resolute officer can de-
feat the purposes of mob and hence every
means should be employed to impress upon
both sheriffs and jailers the duty of stand
ing out to the very utmost for the majesty
of the law as respects men under arrest
accused Of crime.

Turmoil in Morocco.

The progressive Sultan of Morocco, upon
whom some Europeans have been relying
TO bring his country closer to the modern
standard of civilization, is having troubles
thick and fast in consequence of his reform
measures. He assembled the throne at an
age when he was ripe for new ideas, but
Tor several years he was hampered in his
desire to regenerate Morocco through the
Influence OF his aged vizier. a leftover
from the preceding reign. Finally the
vizier was gathered to his fathers and the
sultan began to show his spirit He tried
to teach his people respect not only for
Moorish law but for international law, and
actually went to the extreme of violating
Moorish sanctuary in order 10 arrest and
punish native who had wantonly MUIR
dered a European missionary. Such thing
was never before heard OF in Morocco and
the native population was greatly aroused
Then the sultan took up bicycling and au-
tomobiling, and now he rides about his
capital in modern state while the people
grow more angry at each innovation.
A few months ago. to cause this ferment
to rise higher, there came a pretender to
the throne. one Omar Zarahuni, calling
himself brother Of the sultan and legiti-
mate heir to the throne. He rallied around
him some hundreds of disaffected Moors
and made best use Of the discomfort Of the
