to every civilized country. Nothing could stop it, nothing check but the discovery of some cheaper light or the putting up of it's price. The real good of the oil business in 1872 lay in mak- ing oil cheaper. It would flow all over the world on it's own merit if cheap enough.
 "The claim that only by some such aggregation as MT. Rockefeller formed could enough capital have been ob- tained to develop the business falls ut terly in the face of the fact. Look at the enormous amounts of capital i1l- vested in the business in the first ten years. It is estimated that Philadel- phia alone put over $168, 900, 900 into the development of the oil regions, and New York $1S4,0000OO, while $391 ,O0O, 900. is the amount of capital estimated to have flowed into regions in the first decade of the business. In 1872 it was estimated that the, oil men were using a capital of $200,000,O00. There has al- ways been money for oil investments. It did not require MT. Rockefeller's capital to develop the Bradford pipe- line, open West Virginia, Texas or Kansas. The oil business would no more have suffered for lack of capital without the Standard combination than the iron or wheat or railroad or cotton business. The claim is idle, given the wealth and energy of the country in the 45 years since the dis coyery of oil.'' &.s

mercy of the spoiler, of the renegade and the shoeless dictator, if his native islands were to be. given their inde- pendence under present conditions. Hence his reluctance to increase the number and size of his loans; he pre- fers to keep as much of his wealth as possible in tangible form for obvious reasons.
 His fears are groundless, however, and he and his foreeignr born colleagues will soon see that these islands are not going to be handed over to the lords of misrule. It is a cause of thanksgiving that only three months remain in which this element of uncertainty can operate, and long before that the hope lessness of any present talk about in dependence will doubtless be dennon- strated. When 1t becomes plain to the bankers and commercial people of the archipelago generally that the Ameri- can people will not permit any tamper- ing with the perpetuity of the institu- tions transplanted at such cost of gold and precious human lives to these islands, there will be no difficulty about the farmers of Negros or any other Islands securing the funds necessary to harvest their crops, and as the people of the islands become more and more accustomed to the, iocularities of an American Presidential campaign, apprehension will vanish all together Manila Times

The Effect in the Philippines of the
 Chatter About "Independence.' '
 As we pointed out some weeks ago, the political campaign that is now un- der way in the United States is not call. culated to inspire fears for the stability of institutions or the perpetuity of sound business conditions as far as the home country is concerned. Tn this respect it differs from one or two cam paigns of recent years, particularly that of 196. As far as the Philippine islands are corcerned, however, there is different barometric effect. This Independence plank, in the portion of the democratic platform that relates to the Philippines is distinctly pre- judicial to business interests in these islands, as has been observed before in these columns. It is not sufficient to dismiss the probability of such pre- posterous policy triumphing over the principles of sound government for the islands, with the rather trite remark that the majority of American voters are not to be caught with chaff. The capitalists of these islands do not ap- preciate that fact as well as we Aneri- cans do, as they are mostly of other than American descent, and it requires an Americans mind to rightly ap- preciate American traditions and in stitutions. Hence this threat of in dependence" which is like a red flag to the insturrecto-ladron of the foot hills, is like declaration of the sus- pension of all law to the capitalist. Even the native capitalist realizes that his vested interests would be at the

WILLARD E. HOWE.

Former Representative Willard E. Howe died at his home on Hebron ave- nue, Glastonbury, Thursday morning. He had been in failing. health the past year with grip. Death was due to gen. eral breaking down and weakness of the heart.
 MT. Howe was born September 19, 1924, in Glastonbury He was the son of John and Mary CWadsworth) Howe, and was one of a family of eight chill dren. Mir Howe attended the public schools and also spent one term at the Wilbraharn academy On leaving school he engaged with his brother, William Hanford Howe, in the manu- fracture of powder kegs, supplying Han- mer & Forbes, of Burnside. Later they made slaves for the Dupont Powder company of Delaware. Afterwards they conducted a sawmill for general saving. About eight years ago they sold their water privilege to the East Hartford Water company Since then MT. Howe had engaged in farming. He had talk en active part in politics and was re- publican in his poltcal belef. He was the senior representative in the house in 1860, and had held the office of asses sor for the northeastern section many times. He was member oe the com nlittee who assisted In collecting mate- rial for the history of the town pfe- pared in connection with the bi-centen- nial celebration, May B. 1853. He was a member of the Buckingham Congrega- tional church and had served as clerk for forty years.

had the advantage of water transpor- tation a part of the year, access to two great trunk lines the year around. Under such able management as he could give it. his concern was bound to go on, given the demand for refined oil. It was bound to draw other firms to it. When he went into the South Improvement company, it was not to save his own business, but to destroy others. When he worked so persist ently to secure rebates after the break ing up of the South Improvement com pany, it was in face of an industry united against them. It was not to save his business that he compelled the Empire Transportation company to go out of the oil business in 1877 Nothing but grave Tnismanagement could have destroyed his business at that moment; 1t was to get every refinery in the country but his own out of the way. It was not the necessity to save his business which compelled MT. Rockefel- Ter to make war on the Tidewater. He and the Tidewater could both have lived. 1t was to prevent prices of IIdllSpOIldllOIl dIlu Ol Iellueu Oll SC1llS down under competition.
 Certain defenders go further and say that if some such combination had not been formed, the oil industry would have failed for lack of brain and capi- tai. Such a statement overlooks most of the facts in the case. Here was an industry for whose output the whole world was crying. Petroleum came at the moment when the value and neces- sity of a new, cheap light was recog- nized everywhere. Before MT. Rocke- feller had ventured outside of Cleve- land, kerosene was going in quantities

Ida M. TarbeII Closes Her Indictment of Standard Oil by Showing What Were the Real Reasons for the Policy Chosen by John D.

Chosen by John D. McClures Magazine for October prints the last of Ida M. Tarbell's ar 4icles on the Standard Oil. In sum- ming up she says:
 "All sorts of subterfuge and sophis- tries and slurring over of facts are employed to explain aggregations of capital whose determining factor has been like that of the Standard Oil conpany-special privileges obtained by persistent secret effort in opposi- ton othe spirit of the law, the efforts of legislators, and the most outapoken public opinion. How often does one hear it argued that the Standard Oil company is simply an inevitable re- suit of economic conditions; that is given the practices of oil-bearing rail roads in 1872 and the elements of speculation and the over-refining in the oil business, there was nothing for Mir. Rockefeller to do do but secure special privileges if he wished to save his business.
