STATEMENT BY GOV. HocH.

The fight Kansas is making is a
fight for fair playa fight to restore
competition and to relieve a great and
growing industry from the grasp of
an industrial despotism.
We hope to prove by actual demon,
stration that the Standard Oil com
pany has robbed the oil producer on
one hand and the customer on the
other.
BY engaging in this battle as a state
we hope, first, to encourage the loca-
ton Of Independent refneries with the
assurance that they will have the pro-
lection Of the state; and, second, to
enlist other states and the, general
government in battle against mon
opolistic tyranny

found it advisable to retire from bust
less. The same was the case with
the man who had his thousands
locked up in extensive plants. In
either instance he was offered price,
often a generous one. II he conclud-
ed to accept 1t, well and good for him.
The few who decided to fight it out
found their pocketbooks much thin
ner.
The profits Of the concern were so
enormous that 1t eventually became
hard to find employment for them.
The owners Of the Standard Oil COM
pany bought into one railroad after
another, They were, for example, re-
puted powerful factor in the Chi
cago, Milwaukee G st. Paul road back
in the sos. Somewhere around 1890
their names began gradually to re.
place those Of the old leaders in Wall
street. They kept branching out, first
bringing one great stock market en-.
terprise and then another under their
control. In retrospect, Jay Gould
seems a small man beside them.
Eventually they caught up with the
Vanderbits as railroad magnates. In
1901 they were believed to be back of
Hartman in the Northern Pacific
fight. To-day they are reputed to
have the dominant voice in the great
est railroad combine in the world.
Tomorrow, it is feared, the whole rail-
road situation Of the United States
may be at their dictation.
But oil and railroads have not alone
absorbed their energies. They have
been active in many other directions.

HISTORY OF STANDARD OIL.

Many attempts have been made to
bring the Standard Oil company to
account. So far, these have met with
Indifferent success, Some years ago
the concern was, in the strict sense
Of the term, trust. 1t was a pool
whose members owned a great nun.

flied in any direction,
The Standard OIL company has be-
come a tremendous factor In Amer
lean finance. Up to say fifteen years
ago not much was said about 1t apart
from the oil industry; but It used to
occasion very lively talk in connection
with that industry. Tradition painted
Its methods in black colors. 1t had
determined to acquire monopoly in
the oil business, and had practically
succeeded. Competition went down
before it like a card house at the
touch of a finger. If a man with a
few hundreds of capital bought one or
two teams and attempted to pedde
any other oil than that made by the
Standard Oil company, he speedily

power in Wall street speculation. Its,
methods have been sharply criticised.
The panic of May 8, 1901, was openly
laid at its door. The Northern Pa
ciic deal, out Of which that panic
grew, was a titanic affair 1t was a
contest between the mightiest finan-
cial interests in the United States. A
more recent episode in the career Of
the City bank was the Munroe & Nun
roe affair. The failure of this concern
brought to light the fact that the
largest bank in the United States was
as willing to aid in floating Montreal
& Boston mining stock on a credulous
public as to engage in great railroad
deals involving hundreds of millions
Of capital.
Nor Is this ALL It was Standard
Oil money that started the Amalga-
mated copper company. Boston peo'
pie have not forgotten that enterprise.
They recall the methods employed to
buy control Of the great Boston &
Montana company for a song. They
remember, too, how the price Of Anal
gamated copper stock was doomed to
about 1870, just prior to a dividend re-
duction, in order that the insiders
might unload on the public. And the
part played by the City bank in pro-
noting the Amalgamated company is
also fresh in mind. The profit to the
Standard Oil coterie from promoting
and manipulating this enterprise will
never be known; but it is almost in
calculable.
Meanwhile, the oil monopoly has
been growing more and more com
plete As 1t has progressed in other
directions, the Standard Oil clique has
increased its means Of sitting compe
tition in the manufacture and distri-
button Of oil. 1t was by railroad re-
bates that it got its first real start,
and now it is itself mighty power In
the management of the railroads OF
the United States.
But last week the mandate went
forth for it to be investigated. A res
olution to this end was rushed
through the national House, and the
President has been prompt to act upon
1t. Commissioner Garfield of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor has
been told to institute proceedings, and
to see that they are thorough. The
specific task, in compliance with the
congressional resolution, Is that Of in
yestlgating the cause of the low price
of crude oil, and of the unusually
large margins between the crude and
refined products. The aim is to find
cut how much the present situation is
the result of combination or conspir-
acy in restraint of trade.
In short, an effort is to be made to
find out everything possible regarding
the Standard Oil company specifcal-
ly. If the Commissioner of Corpora
tons is as successful in this instance
as he was in the case of the beef
trust, he is likely to produce results
that will startle the country, He is
also, it is said, going to look into the
doings of the STANDARD Oil crowd
An adequate report on the Standard
Oil company may enable us to obtain
cheaper oil. But real knowledge of
the standard Oil crowd" will be of
immense value in conserving the en-
tire financial interests of the people
of the United States, now and here

JAPANESE AS PAINTERS.
Framework of Their Designs Reflect
the Fundamental Principles
of True Art

The Japanese, with their natural.
unsophisticated view of life, have ever
sought in their art to mirror what a
great painter and critic has termed
mems primordial predictions" Art,
however, writes w. NJ. Cabot, in At
lantic, that seeks to embody pleasures
founded on the unchanging properties
of human nature must have a past as
well as a future. must be able TO look
backwards as we'll as forwards. Not
one life's labor. but that of many gem
erations is required. No people have
better understood this than the
japanese. They have also clearly per-
ceived that no art that is not true to
the changeless element in man can en-
dure; while on the other hand any sub
ject. however trivial can be made
eternally attractive. if only treated in
accordance with aesthetic law.
japanese painting delights us by its
delicate fancy, its poetry its freedom.
its spirit; but what gives these quail
ties special and enduring charm, what
makes the play of fancy never weari-
some. the liberty never mere license,
is that they find expression in and
through a framework of design so fine
~ conceived that in ii we see reflect
ed as in a mirror the fundamental
principles which govern all true art.
