THE DANGER OF
SEARCNLIGHTS
tScripps News Association

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 21.-
The navigators of harbors and riv-
ers in the neighborhood of the
coast Notifications have complain
ed to the war department of the
practice of the artillery chiefs in
charge of the searchlights of throw
ing such lights upon their ships,
mcuh to the annoyance of those
on board. 1t has been ordered by
the war department that greater
care be exercised in the operation
of searchlights mounted at the
coast forts. 1t is very well known
that light of this kind is apt to
lead to serious consequences, since
it sometimes blinds the men at the
wheel.

KANSAS D[FIES
THE OIL TRUST
Permanent Organization Is
Formed to Fight Standard
Monopoly
GOVERNOR GIVES HIS APPROVAL

Independence, Kan, March 20.-On
producers OF the Kansas aeld, about
1000 in number. invaded Independence,
The home Of the Standard oil company
in this state. and held a convention,
which was a warning to the trust that
the sentiment against the system Is as
strong as it was the week after Cover
nor Hoch transmitted his oil refinery
message TO the legislature.
The general Offices Of the Standards
Kansas company have headquarters
here and for 10 days they have been
trying to discredit the convention. but,
in spite OF their efforts, there was a
general turnout OF meE who own oil
wells, and they showed by their pres
ence, their applause and their short,
business-like SPEECHES that they are de-
termined to fight the fight to finish.
The result of the convention was 20
make permanent the organization Of
the Kansas Oil Producers Association,
which will encourage the investment OF
capital in the establishment Of inde-
pendent refneries and pipe lines.
Governor Hoch made an address. in
which be said:
This is not a war upon the Standard
Oil company 1t is a war upon its
methods II is not an attack upon this
great corporation. Il is an attack upon
its commercial policies. II Is not an
attempt TO drive the Standard OIL COM
pany out Of this state. It is an attempt
TO compel Il TO be decent This is not
Socialistic movement, but the very
reverse Of 1t. Thoroughly convinced
by long study and much thought that
the Socialistic idea Of government in
private business is radically wrong, I
have entertained with caution any and
every proposition tending toward gov
ernmental absorption Of business en-
terprises which can be more wisely
left to individual effort. This oil re-
hnery movement of ours, l repeat, is
not a socialistic movement. It has
the semblance OF socialism, but its soul
is that Of competition.
I'm my judgment. Mr. Rockefeller,
and mention him merely In his repre-
sentative capacity, is doing more to
multiply Socialists and make socialism
popular than all the professional prop
agandlsts Of that fascinating fallacy n
the United States are do-- And the
Standard oil company is its essen
tial character, the most gigantic social
istic concern in the country. Its aim
and end is the aim and end Of social
ism. the destruction Of competition,
and in battling against It we know
that we are battling for and not against
the competitive system, and no super
fetal alarmists can convince us to the
contrary"
Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell made a speech, in
which she said that Kansas people are
more fortunate than the people Of
Pennsylvania. I'm Kansas the COVER
nor and the legislature are on the side
Of the people in the oil fight. In Penn

The Winter Palaces History.

The Winter Palace of the Car Is a
fitting center from which to carry on
the fell work OF repression allotted to
rrepoff. Almost every stone OF the
walls and every square yard OF the
plaster lining cost a life. Nicholas
had given the order that the palace
must be rebuilt in a year, and what
was human life against the despot's
will? Six thousand men were kept
at work day and night, with the pal
ace heated at 80 Reamur to dry the
walls rapidly, while the temperature
outside was often 80 degrees below
zero Reamur. The men could only
work with ice packs on their heads,
and experiencing a daily change OF
SO degrees, they died by the score
every day. BY the end OF the year
the death roll was some thousands,
but the palace was finished. To un-
