WILL TURN ON LIGHT.
Publicity the Only Remedy for the
Standard Oil Evil.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Publicity is the
only cure which the doctors of the de-
partment of commerce and labor are
agreed can be applied as a remedy for
Standard Oil evils. What other steps
may follow is for the future to deter
mine, but there will be no shooting in
the dark and no attempt merely to har-
ass Standard Oil.
Until the bureau of corporations is in
possession of accurate information
about the greatest of all the trusts it
will not be in a position to consider
any remedies except those which are
specifically set forth in the act Great
ing the department of labor and COM
merce. The agents who have been set
to work can do no more than place the
necessary facts before the department
the character of their reports will de-
pend the calling of John D. Rockefeller,
Henry w. Rogers and other Standard
Oil magnates to the stand.
The difficulties in the way of a pro-
fitable investigation of Standard Oil are
as numerous as the offenseS with which
it is charged. 1t stands on an entirely
different footing from the alleged pack
ing house trust. If the packing houses
have violated the law 1t is because they
have formed an association or have en-
tered into an agreement with each 9TH
er to fix prices or appOrtion territory.
There are some half dozen corpora
tions involved and their violations of
the Sherman act, if the facts can be
eSta blished, have already been passed
upon by the supreme court. Standard
Oil is a gigantic corporation which is
accused of throttling competition. 1t
does not have to make terms with trade
rivals. BY increasing the price of oil
in southern or eastern territory a frac-
ton of a cent per gallon it can under
sell and force to the wall competition
in a western state without loss to itself.
The increased profits in one section OF
the country will recoup it for losses in
another.
influence which is responsible for bank
consultations in half the cities of the
country, of intimidating railroads and
coercing small operators. The great
difficulty which stands in The way is the
conflicting opinions of the courts. While
the courts have at various times de-
clared that this concern or that is "a
trust" there is no ruling of the courts
and no congressional enactment which
with the monopoly the various states
have been proceeding entirely in the
dark. -
The public knows nothing about the
various qualities of oil. The states have
appointed oil inspectors and in numer-
Gus instances these have been the
agents of Standard OIL Their duties
have largely been confined to applying
tests to Illuminating oils and for the
none of the features which enter into
the production of petroleum. Volumes
have been written in the newspapers
and magazines about the Ubiquitous
things Standard Oil is alleged to have
done, but in none of these publications

NEW BALL LEAGUE.
The missouri Valley''-Is Now the
western Association

kansas City. Nov. 3O.-The- Missouri
Valley league is now a thing of the past.
At meeting of the magnates of that Or
ganiZation held at the Baltimore hotel
yesterday the name missouri Valley
league" was labeled and filed away ana
by a unanimous vote the title was chang
ed to The Western association. Every
city in the circuit was represented. The
-aagnates were of the opinion that the
name Missouri Valley was hardly i'm
pressive enough for the league, hence the
change.
President SlliveIy said that the change
had been contemplated Tor some time and
that all of the magnates were in favor
of 1t. THE new title, Western associa-
tion,' will give. more prestige to the or
ganization," said Mr.. Shively last night.
THE Missouri Valley league has been
ridiculed by the press and. as it is IN
doubtedly stronger than many other
lea CUES, we decided to make the change.
THE change of title is not the only
change contemplated by this progressive
little organization While the cities com
prising the league are considered fair it
is probable that there will be changes in
the circuit in the near future. We have
had applications for franchises from Ok
iahoma City Webb City. Wichita, Guth-
rie and st. Joseph. Jay Andrews repre-
scented the latter city All of the appli-
cants are anxious for admittance and
they have plenty of financial backing"

has there been revealed the one thing
which will determine whether Standard
Oil is good or bad trust in its oil
monopoly, namely: Does Standard OIL
supply a necessary product as a less
rate than fair competition would give?
The Standard Oil investigation will
reveal the strength as we'll the
weakness of the bureau of corpora
tions. 1t may show there are evils of a
pronounced character which no existing
federal enactment can reach If this
proves to be the case the act creating
the bureau and defining its authority
can be amended. The work which has
been undertaken will, therefore, serve
a double purpose. Even the officials of
the department are uncertain as to its
powers. Legislators differed as to the
authority of the bureau of corporations
when it was created and no tests have
been made in the courts.
Standard Oil offers the widest field
for the departments activities. Rami-
fcations of the business extend to all
the states and it's operations are as
ISOLATED with all important financial
and transportation developments. The
business is entirely in the hands of a
comparatively few individuals and the
all important question will be deter
mined to how far such a private
monopoly is amenable to governmental
direction
