Il POLITICAL TRICK.
What Standard Oil Official Thinks
of j. ID. Rockefeller Telegram.
LATTER LESS ACTIVE IN COMPANY.

Various officials connected with the Standard
Oil Company, when seen yesterday by a Tribune
reporter. categorically denied any knowledge Of
appeals having been made from the company
through its president John D. Rockefeller, TO
members of the United States Senate urging that
no antitrust legislation be enacted. A high off,
cial Of the company. who did not wish his name
used. said: Il have no knowledge whatever Of
any such appeals having been made and beyond
the reports which I have read in the papers
know absolutely nothing about the affair For
some time" he added. John D. Rockefeller
has not taken so active part in the affairs Of
the Standard Oil Company. If such kilograms
as those reported were dispatched by Mr.
Rockefeer-which l am disposed to doubt
they could only have been sent in his private
capacity, and not in any company capacity
Had they been so sent, moreover, I presume L
should have been aware of the fact / am not
aware of it. 1 should assume that the report on
the face of it is a political trick adopted as
s,1bterfuge by those who wish to push the Anti
Trust bill
Referring to the statement In the Washington
disnatch in Yesterdays papers. that when the
TjttIeheld bill was reported to the House. the
Standard Oil Companys counsel particularly op-
posed the Nelson amendment to Section No o
of the Department of Commerce bill-the amend
nent which practically contains the publicity
features of the Knox Antitrust bill-the same
official said: $50 far as 1 know. the Standard on
Company is not against publicity. provided there
is no discrimination

Prentice of counsel for the Standard OIL Com
panv and for John D Rockefeller when his at
tention was called to the account OF the teie-
gram ALLEGED to have been sent by Mr RocKe-
felIer to the Senators in Washington, said:
II know nothing about it, and do not believe
arlv one can be found who does know I do not
think there is anything in it.
e Parrnalee Prentice, of the same firm. who
married Miss Rockefeller. also denied any
knowledge of the telegram.
John D. Rockefeller, after the Washington re-
port had been submitted to him. sent word to
the reporter that there answer William
G. Rockefeller begged to be excused. "A repre-
sentative of H H Rogers. one of the directors
of the company said that Mr. Rogers had read
the account earlier in the day, but knew nothing
about the statements contained in it, and had
given the impression that it might be DIS
missed as a trivial absurdity." ]. A Monett'
another director said he had also read the re-
port. but knew nothing concerning the state
rnents that it contained.

Intelligent Use of the Shears.

cannot be classed as q lazy editor.
Be it understood that to read and I'M
derstand and appreciate the writings
Of others and to be able to Gull from
the thoughts of fellow editor the gist
of his argument so as to give the
readers the benefit is a task in COM
parison with which the writing Of a
long and ponderous leading" editorial
is child's play.
To have the mind capable of recog-
nizing and culling the gems of thought
from exchanges is not laZiness. To
read with care the numerous editorial
pages that come TO an exchange table
so as to be thoroughly in touch with
the thought of the day and to select
with intelligence the best of this edit
orial thought is not laziness. 1t is the
hardest part of a conscientious news
paper editors work.

this sort of editorial page which is OF
