The Oil City Derrick calls the
antitrust law In Texas "a Black

he calls the way the Standard OH
Company runs the oil business.
What would he call a company

world only justify 1t In paying
$I.15 for oilf Pat Boyles can howl
all he wants to about the antitrust
laws being matchmaking Statutes.
but they are not In 1t with what the
Standard Oil Co. can and does do
to the people without such laws.
The Texans will forever regret the
day they repeal this law or allow
the Standard Oil Co. to get hold Of
the oil production In Texas. The
oil bu ;iness Is no doubt dull down
there now but 1t won't be a patch
log to what the Standard will do II
Ii can get to do business In that
State.
The people of Texas can afford
to read the Derrick, and everything
that sheet disapproves of they
should hang on to like grim death.

to get rid of 1t as quick as possible

min Howard, leading man of the Dan
lei Frawloy Company, now playing at
the Salt Lake Theater made an UNI
successful attempt at suicide in his
room at the Knuttsford Hotel last
night. He swallowed two ounces OF
laudanum and slashed his left wrist
with a razor. Dependency and Ill
health are the causes assigned for his
act. Last evening he went to two drug
stores and bought an ounce OF lauda-
mum at each.
Returning to his room he drove out
other members of the company who
came in, telling them he had to study
his lines. He took the laudanum, lay
down on the bed and slashed his left
wrist with a razor cutting the veins
but not striking tho main artery Had
he understood anatomy he would GER
tainly have succeeded in his attempt.
This morning when time for rehear-
sal came he did not appear, aud Fraw-
ley went up to his room and found him
lying there bleeding badly and almost
gone. A physician was called, and he
was with difficulty aroused, but tonight

the prosecution of the editor of the
Freedom is based on a criticism of the
policy adopted by the Commission. In
this know that he is entirely in error.
The prosecution of the Freedom. as
may perhaps be gathered from the dis
patches, and as | know from previous

action is begun under the seditlon law

a law of libel a charge that a public
body or that a member OF a public

charge upon which a suit by any par,

body can be founded. Under the sedi.
ton law charge of that kind against
a Governmental body can be prosecut-

Governor I aft Talks Upon
NEWSPAPER COMMENT
Editors Of Manila Papers Make

Under the military government
, which existed prior to the adoption OF
the civil government and under the
Spanish method the editor would be
sent to prison or deported. and the
paper suppressed. The animus of the
charges is manifest. The Freedom is a
newspaper which has devoted its col
umns always to the denunciation of the
Filipinos, to holding them up to the
scorn of Americans. advocates with in
tensity the turning over OF the Govern
ment from the civil to the military and
advocates the utmost severity of meas
ures against the Filipinos. 1t attacks
the Commission daily for appointing
Filipinos to office. for legislating in
the interest of the Filipinos. aud for
not looking to the interest OF Ameri-
cans in the islands. II seeks to stir
up American prejudices against the
Filipinos, and, on the other hand. its
unjust attacks upon Filipinos have II
tendency to destroy the confidence Of
Fillpinos in the friendly interest OF
Americans.
American in Same Boat.
THE Daily American, which is an
other newspaper OF Manila and takes
much the same view in respect to the
necessity for severity of measures
against all Filipinos and a distrust of
them, and advocates return to the
military government OF the islands. at
one time published an article charging
that some member of the Commission,
not mentioning the name, was inter-
ested in an enterprise in the islands.
As president of the Commission | wrote
to the editor of the American and de-
manded that he make specific charges
against some member of the Commits
sion, so that that member might take
steps to defend his reputation, or that
he withdraw the charges that charge
rgainst commission which was q
charge against no particular person,
and yet was a charge against all. was
cowardly. | thereupon made inquiry
and found, as | had always supposed
the case to me, that not a member OF
the Commission had dollars interest
in any enterprise in the Philippines,
and the charge which was said to have
been based on clippings from some
newspaper in the United States. was
then formally withdrawn.
THE Freedom has now made general
charges Of corruption. without any
specification, that some members OF
the Commission. without mentioning
names, are getting what is called a
graft. The question Is whether the
freedom of the press requires that per-
sons making such charges should be
Immune from prosecution. Il seems to
me not. Under the circumstances and
In such matter, the personal injury
to the Commissioners who are malign.
ed Is comparatively OF small import
ance. The injury done is in destroying
the usefulness of the Commission by
impeaching its disinterestedness. II is
OF the highest importance to induce
the Filipino people to believe that il is
possible under American Government
that offices shall be administered In
the public interest, and not for private
