dence of the thoroughness with which
the work will be done, the note of
President Roosevelt to Mr. James r.

businesslike: Act vigorously on the

in which Mr.. Garfelds department
has handled the beef trust investiga-
tion, and brought matters and condi-
tions before the interstate commerce

spirit and thoroughness with which
the investigation of the Standard Oil
business will be conducted, MIR. Rookie
feller may well begin to fidget in his
chair and recall unpleasant memories
of how Frank S. Monnett, the attor-
ney general of Ohio, forced the
Standard to abandon its trust form
OF organization, leave the sta and
take refuge in its present form of a
New Jersey corporation.
Monnett Deals Standard a Blow.
This will not be the first time the
Standard has been investigated. Three
islative commissions and has once
been taken before the courts. The
legislature of New York delyed into
the affairs of the monopoly in 1897,
with the Hepburn committee Con
gress tackled it in 1888 with the
Bacon committee, and again in 1890
with the industrial commission. But
the most severe shaking up 1t has re-
ceived In It's history was that given it
by Monnett. and though it was a bit
ter pill for the Standard to swallow.
it had the grim satisfaction at the next
election of defeating Monnett for reelec-
tion as attorney general, and forcing
him into private life.
Monnett is as familiar with the
Standard Oil business as anyone out
side of the company itself, and Kan
sas has turned to the one man who
has given STANDARD black eye.

But however that may be, certain it
is that war cloud of ominous proper

lythe Standard Oil company's sky. 1t
began to gather in Kansas, that home
of the cyclone, and has spread until
from Texas to New York and from
the Indian territory through the
prairie states of Illinois, Iowa and In
diana to the capital city on the Po-
tomac, the ominous mutterings of the
coming storm have been heard. Had
the Standard only had to deal with the
situation in Kansas it would have
been the merest child's play, the most
amusing diversion, to have in time
crushed all opposition and forced the
people and the state into submission.
John d. Rockefeller has been laugh
ing up his sleeve and serenely waiting
1t has amused him to read In the pa
pers that the Kansas legislature had
appropriated 100000 for the estab-
lishment of a state refinery to buck
against his $3.50, 100000 company. He
has been annoyed. perhaps, at the ef-
fort to meddle with his pipe lines, but
he has felt confident that the end
would come in victory for him and the
establishment Of his company in the
state on firmer basis than ever before
He has mapped out campaign of

wait, for his dollars work while he

Kansas Fires the First Gun.
Kansas seems to be always doing
things which other states are afraid
to do, or never think of doing, and she
has fired the first gun in this tre-
mendous war, and, as Lincoln's call
to arms in '61 was met by the cry
from the different states: I'VE are
coming, Father Abraham, 100000
strong" so the sound of Kansas first
shot at the oil octopus has aroused
the nation, and on every hand, and
from unexpected directions, reinforce
ments are coming to the aid of plucky
Kansas.
The Government to Use Its Probe.
The most important of all develop
ments in this fight has been the action
of congress in ordering the department
of commerce and labor to begin in

Standard Oil company. and as an evil

large sums similarly invested in New
England and the central west.
Two important items of John d.
Rockefellers fortune are frequently
overlooked in making computations of
his wealth. These are his holdings of
real estate and mortgages and of gov
ernment and municipal bonds. Both are
so vast that if we undertook to follow
out the threads that lead to them they
would take us to every part of the Unit
ed States and across the Atlantic.
While Mr. Rockefeller's real estate
holdings would amount to probably
SIC, 900, such investment does not
prove q very attractive venture for the
astute financier. He prefers to let the
other fellow own the real estate and he
hold the mortgage. The city of Cleve-
land is an example of this. He owns
valuable property there-Forest Hills
and his Tarrytown IN. " estate is
truly baronial in its magnificent proper
tions. but these are nothing in COM
parison to his mortgage holdings IN
Cleveland he holds 100000 mortgage
on the principal hotel, mortgage for
like amount on large wholesale bust
ness, and banking and street railway
holdings which would bring the total to
SIS 100000 in the Ohio city alone.
But Cleveland is not the only city in
the United States that is doing a good
part of its business on John d. Rookie
feilers money and paying him well for
the privilege New York. Chicago, Pitts
burg and Buffalo are cases in point.
