GAS ADDICKS IMPALED ON
PEN OF THOMAS LAWSON

than any other man of his or any
previous age.
Mr.. Lawson devotes more space
to Addicks, but the main object
of his article, apparently, is to eX-
pose the methods by which Stand
ard Oil, or the "system, went
about it's investments in gas in
1894, and the part played by Ad-
dicks in the total.
CATER the Standard Oil 'pri-
vate thing had firmly establish
ed, through the agency of the
curb market, the value OF the l.
100000 shares of Standard Oil,
the corporation seller of oil, at
between $6OO,OOO,000 and $780,
100000, and had used it as collat-
eral in securing control OF the
four classes of money institutions
I have named-the National and
the sayings banks and the trust
and insurance companies-they
proceeded to use the funds thus
controlled to manipulate the
stocks of great public corpora
tons for their own profit, forming
them into trusts with capitals far
hevond their values, which they
sold to the public at the inflated
capitalization.
They then engaged in won
derfully clever campaign to
work off on the people-directly
the very rich people, but lndl-
rectly the people as a whole
through institutions which exist
because of the peoples savings
the $600,OOO,000 to $SOO,OOO,OOO
of Standard stock which had at
this stage served the principal use
for which it had been created.
"They knew that so thorough
" have the American people been
educated to the crimes which ere
ated Standard Oil, the crimes by
which it existed and does exist,
that no passage Of time or 'pious-
ing of later day methods will
even bind them to its iniqultles
and that when reprisal day comes
as come it surely will-the first
thing the people in their frenzy
will look for will be Standard

In another chapter on "F'ren-
zied Finance" which appears in
the October number of Every
body's Magazine, Thos. w. Law
son. the Boston fnancier, pays
particular attention to the ca
reer and methods of j. Edward
O'Sullivan Addicks, known in
the political world as Gas Ad-
dicks, and impales him on the
point of his pen in merciless fash
ion. He describes Addicks as one
of the chief factors in forthcom-
ing complications to be related.
Mr.. Lawson begins his story
back in 1894, when, he declares,
Standard Oil had already captur-
ed the gas-lighting corporations
of certain great cities in the Uni
ted States. New York's gas sys-
tenn had been acquired directly
and the systems of Philadelphia
and Chicago directly. 1t was the
beginning of a campaign engl.
neered by Standard Oils chief
lieutenant, Henry R. Rogers, for
obtaining a monopoly Of Manhat-
tan.
"While in the midst of this
campaign" writes Mr.. Lawson,
Gin which Henry II. Rogers gen
JUS. matured in many hard
fought business battle, discerned
an early and easy triumph, there
came athwart his victorious path

Baked Effort to Walk on Water.

Charles H. Cartwell, writing in the
Chicago Tribune, repeats this joke
played on the so-called Prophet
Joseph Smith, ST., Of the Mormon
church:
Some time in the thirties Smith
and a party Of followers were prose-
lyting in Muskingum county, Ohio.
He appointed a certain day when he
would show the people his wonderful
powers, and that he was a second
Christ. by walking on the waters of
Mud creek. h water was always
muddy. A day or two before the
time set, grandmotherjs brother,
Robert, and a couple Of neighbor
boys were accidentally attracted to
the Mormons working at the creek,
and. ~concealing themselves, watched
h Mormons put down stakes and
put planks on them from bank to
bank, the plank resting about six
inches under water. After the Nor
mons left, the boys went down and
took u the center pIanK, where the
water was about ten feet deep. The
next day 'Balsam' Smith came down
to the creek, and, after a long exhor-
tation, started across the creek. He
was all right and on top till he came
to the center, where his power
seemed to leave him, and he, like
McGinty. went to the bottom. This
was the end of Mormonism in that

The Return of the Bun.

Now and then the famous and typi-

and once more we are told that the u

American woman. but that Is no rea-
son for believing that it will not become
popular this season. However. it Is safe
to wager h days of the bun are not
long in this land. There never was
hideous and unbecoming fashion
for arranging the a than the round
wad in the maps of h neck that is
designated as a bun, and the great
point about it is that no woman can
keep her hair tidy looking when it is
done up in this style, unless h wears
a net over it. Nets. Of Nurse In rath-
er attractive additions to a couture;
but then. again. so few know. how to
adjust them property and, besides,
they hav a way OF making even a
young person appear older than h
likes. On the whole there are a good
many things to be said not the least
important being the fact that it re-
Quires an quantity of hair
to make any showing whatever, and il
one doesn't possess it naturally to re-
sort to switches and rats wou be to
weigh the head down tremendously,
and In h end he bun would stand for
frightful headaches.
