STANDARD AND RAILROADS

That the railroads of this state
have b standing in n every way
with the Standard Oil company to
assist that company in obtaining
and holding a monopoly of the oil
interest has been apparent to all,
but their utter depravity and greed
IN the matter was not known till the
recent investigation was started.
1t now seems they agreed to any
rates on any oil or oil supplies OF
machinery that might be advan-
tageous to the Standard or assist it
in crushing out the independent re-
fnery OF developer that might be a
little too independent to suit the
ideas of the Standard. They have
put the rates on crude oil at
prohibitive prices and on drilling
tools and machinery ruinously
high.
In fact the railroads in this coun-
try seem to have been run in the
interests of the Standard Oil com.
pany and agains: the interests Of
the people. We do not bsllve the

THE GAS PROPOSITION

The council has been laboring fol
some time over the Isett Erwin gas
proposition, and at their meeting,
Monday night, passed the ordinance
by vote of to 2.
The proposition was for the city
to buy the gas rights on large tract
of land, west of the city, paying
$4,000 therefore. Isett- Erwin
holding the oil rights and the city
keeping up the rentals of about
Sc, 500 per year. We have been
very much IN favor of the city buying
this or some other tract at once and
fixing ITSELF for larger gas reserve.
We have thought this fine field
hoped satisfactory terms could be
arranged whereby the city could
own it, but there are serious OBJECT
ions to the ordinance as passed and
the mayor will veto it in its present
form and it will never get the re
quired two thirds vote. We hope
yet the Objectionable features will
be eliminated and the city will be.
come the owner of this territory or
other equally as good.
We must secure more territory
while it Is ON the market or be out
of gas for city use in few years.
We believe the council and mayor
are alive to the necessity and will
protect the city's interest.

remnant of the Russian army that
has done nothing but retreat and
fight rear guard battles for the last
year, cannot hope to compete with
the victorious Japanese army, and
the Siberian railroad will scarcely
be able to furnish supplies for the
men in the field to say nothing of
transporting additional men and
equipments.
The destruction of the immense
stores of Russian provisions and
supplies in and near Mukden and
the cutting off of all sources of sup
ply except the Siberian road was
severe blow to Russia. We look
for the Russians to retreat to Har.
bin with little fighting. In fact,
there should be no more fighting.
The Russians are completely
whipped and the Japs are in posi-
ton to keep them whipped. In
the interests of humanity, the war
should be stopped. There seems
to be no use of continuing it till
both nations are bankrupt and de-
populated. The Russians have got
what they deserved and got it good
and hard. They violated their ma
tional honor when they refused to
evacuate Manchuria and gallant
little Japan was the only nation of
the number interested that had the
nerve to stand up and tell them they
must get out.
Later. The Japs have taken
Tie Pass and it Is now a 400 mile
race for Harbin. 1t looks very
much like Kuropatkin's whole army
with its vast amount Of artillery and
armament will fall into the hands
of the valiant Jap.

RATHER SMOOTH

Mr.. Young, Pres. Of Prarie Oil
and Gas Co., was on the witness
stand at independence the other
day, in the investigation that Is
being made of Standard Oil meth
DDS.
Mr.. Young is a very smooth piece
of merchandise and evaded every
possible answer to questions vital
by pleading ignorance. Why, he is
one of the most profoundly igno-
rant men we have ever met. How
he can successfully run a very large
business like that of the Prairie Oil
and Gas Co. and know so little
about the company and its workings
is profound MYSTERY.
Mr.. Young is very polite and oily
and very fit man to be at the head
of such a company or grace cell
in the Kansas penitentiary. The
Kansas courts are after the Stan
dard and its tools, the railroads,
and there will be something doing
before there Is let up. Mr.. Young
is only type of the class of men
employed by the Standard to do
its dirty work.
Bright, keen fellows, without
heart, soul or conscience, ready to
do the bidding of the boss mind
with only nod or wink and al
ways ready to forget in times of
danger.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1905-03-17

Standard owns these roads to such
an extent that it can force these
policies on them. They seem to
have got in the habit of listening to
the dictations of the Standard.
They will probably be led to see
the error of their ways and taught
to respect the rights of the people
before the courts are through with
pending cases.
The time has surely come when
the Standard Oil company and the
railroads of Kansas must dissolve
partnership in their schemes of
oppression. The people are thor
oughly aroused and are going to see
equal justice done il a few charters
have to be revoked as an object
lesson.

BOTH FEET SEVERED
w. M. Lyster Badly Injured near
Santa Fe Yard Office

w. M. Lystsr, SO years of age, an
employe Of the Santa Fe for five years
past, met with a horrible accident
Monday morning about o'clock He
was engaged in cleaning cinders from
the srack near she yard Office, when
dn engIue OF a work train came back
ing up, and so intent was his mind Oh
his work. that he heard nos the ring
Ing of the bell by Engineer Axcel
Mr.. Lyster had his back turned t.
the engine which was bearing down
upon him. He was struck by the
tender and knocked down. Ia falling
his head and body we're outside the
tracks but his legs remained on them,
and before he could withdraw them
one wheel had passed over. Both
legs we're ground 10 two between the
knee and ankle. One leg was cut SO
oadly that only PARTICLES of flash held
IL to the body. while the bone In the
other one was crushed and the limb
horribly mangled.
Two men witnessed the accident
and went direct to his relief where
the poor man lay crying for help. He
was picked up and put 10 box Car
and brought down to Main street
crossing and from there was removed
to the office OF Dn. Light. Rakestraw

After the operation had been per-
formed, be was removed to his home

RUSSIANS RETREAT TOWARD HARDIN
List of Casualties at Tie Pass
as Yet Unknown. JapS Now

The battle of Mukden was one OF
the most notable of history. About
100, 900 men were engaged in prac-
tically equal numbers on each side.
! The Russians were in their intrench.
ments that they had been ali winter
constructing and the Japs were the
attacking party,
Oyama with a master hand guided
every movement OF his large army
and the several corps and divisions
acted in concert and to a definite
purpose. On the part of the Japs
the battle was well planned and
heroically carried out.
BY forced marches the Japs al
most surrounded the whole Russian
army and the work of destruction
began. Furious fighting ragged for
IL days and nights. There was
scarcely any cessation from one
morning to the next without rest
and without food for days, the laps
attacked the Russian stronsholds
without hisitation. They were re-
pulsed time and again but still they
came. The ground was piled with
the dead but still the Japs swarmed
around and poured in deadly fire
that became irresistible.
Russian stolidIy stood the on.
slaught till utter annihilation seemed
imminent. Then the order for q
general retreat was given and it be-
came a race between the Japs and
Russians as to which would reach
Tie Pass first
The Russians were in advance and
protected their rear by a strong
guard of picked men. The Japs
assailed the rear and both fanks of
the retreating foe. They charged
into the midst of the retreating
masses and cut off thousands. They
sheIled the retreating columns and
poured in destructive rifle fire.
The Russians abandoned their
heavy guns threw away their rifles
and rapidly sought the rear. The
Russian losses in killed and wound
ed were near hundred thousand
men. They also lost about forty
thousand prisoners and immense
quantities of provisions and supplies
of various kinds.
The japanese pursued the fleeing
Russians till tired nature could
stand no more and the slaughter
stopped from shear exhaustion of
the Japanese soldiery.
Could Oyama have had division
of fresh troops to pursue the fleeing
Russians be would have bagged the
whole army. AS it is he is already
engaged in wide turning move
ment and the Russians are likely to
be forced out of their strongly
fortified position at Tie Pass and
driven back to Harbin, 400 miles,
on their last base. 1t now looks
like Oyama about has things his
own way.
