STANDARD OIL COMPANY
AND THE GOVERNMENT

uuCt It's business as though It was
nCbody's business how It conduct
ed 1t; and, In refust & to answer
che Departments questic ns,it p1ac
,ically says so. If the Government
Is greater than this Trust 1t should
coupel obedience to It's laws and
forever put an end to the insolence
of this combination.
The government should endeav
or to enforce It's laws as promptly
as possible. If In such endeavor 1t
develop that Its laws are uuconsti-
tutional or defective from other
cause, 1t should remedy the defect
and proceed with their e force
ment. However, If there was any
defect 1t Is probable that other
Trusts would have discov red It
and refused to answer the questions
asked, for other Trusts ha e sharp
lawyers, too. The very fact that
they have complied with the law IS
pretty good evidence that the law
Is all right, and that the obstacle to
to Its enforcement. In the Standards
case, Is the Company's defiance of
lava sort of habitual defiance as
anyone knows no Is famiIzr with
tho history Of the Company. The
defect seems to be In the Company
rather than In the law, and the
sooner 1t Is remidied the sooner the
United States Government will de-
termine the question that has re-
mained unanswered for years.

The Standard Oil company again
claims public attention. 1t has de
clined to answer questions Of the
Department of Commerce relative
to the Company's affairs. These
questions are exactly the same that
every other Trust has answered;
They require the same information
In the same way and for the same
purpose. There Is no special at
tempt to pry into the Standards
affairs. Only enforcement of law Is
attempted. The Standard Oh
Company has resisted enforcement
of law before.
Either the United States Govern
ment Is or Is not greater than the
Standard Oh Company. This
question has remained unsettled
1or a good many years. The courts
have been occupied With considera-
ton of more cases brought against
this Trust than against any other
combination In the country. As
fast as one decision has been made
against the Company, 1t has taken
another tack. As soon as one law
has been enacted to curb It's power
1t has changed Its methods of oper.

1t seems advisable topublish. Mr.. Bridges

Grip Is very trying disease and 1t often
leaves people subject to bronchial and
lung weaknesses 1t causes sore, irritated
conditions of the lungs and tubes so that

coughs. 1t is necessary in order.to STOP
the cough, to heal the sore places and
build up the whole system 30 as to correct

Vinol does this. Vinol is cod liver oil
preparation which actually tastes good
1t has in 1t all the good, healing parts ex.
