GATES STILL ACTIVE.
VIII Insist On Real Investigation OF
Hutchinson RefOrmatory.

A. q. Gates, ex-chaplain Of the
Hutchinson reformatory, shows no
sign of going to sleep in his fight on
formatory. He announced today that
a meeting of ministers Of the state has
been called to meet in Hutchinson on
Tuesday and Wednesday, for the pur-
pose Of taking some action to bring
about an investigation of conditions at
the Hutchinson institution.
Mr.. Gates will address the meeting.
and will make a plea for a higher
standard of management at the re-
formatory.
1t is said that the Hutchinson minis
terial association viii meet today and
rescind the resolutions passed about
week ago, in which Il sort of half
hearted endorsement was given to the
management of E Z. Marshall as su-
perintendent of the reformatory.
Mr. Gates said today: ut is possible
that I may accept a position with the
Salt City Business college at Hutchin-
son after January 1, but I do not in
tend to relinQuish my efforts to bring
about a readjustment Of things at the
reformatory. The matter will be
brought before the governor and the
legislature in a way which they can
not overlook"
1t is likely that book will be print
ed for distribution to members of toe
legislature, setting forth the contep-
tons made by Mr. Gates.
Today Mr.. Gates presented a num-
Der of letters OF endorsement which he
has received, and requested that they

Topeka. Kan, Dec. Is. 1906.
My Dear Brother Gates:-Yours of
18th was the first that I had seen Of
your removal from Hutchinson. You
have my congratulations and my re-
grets. 1 admire a fellow that is ready
to do well when he has a chance even
If he has to pay the price of well doing.
1t has often cost heavily to speak the
truth.
Z am sorry that you lost the posi-
ton for I felt that you were doing fine
ly. I, trust you may be fully vindica-
ted. In the hearts of those who know
you best you need no vindication.
It have known Prof A G. Gates for
five years and believe him to be sin
cere and faithful in all his work He
is thoroughly consecrated to Christian
work and lives to carry out some of the
highest plans for young people. His APP
pointment at the state reformatory at
Hutchinson was only the recognition of
fitness for the great problems 1nvolv
ed. I am sure from what l have seen
at the reformatCry that Mr.. Gates ap-
preached his problems among the young
men of that institution with sincerest
purpose and large understanding of the
psychological questions involved. He is
naturally fitted for the service involv-
ed in the chaplaincy of the reforma-
tory, and those who have known his
work felt very safe in his plans and
accomplishments in that position of
trust Sincerely,

STANDARD OIL AND ITS COM
PETITORS.

The charges brought against the
Standard Oil com my regarding the
methods it pursues in Illinois recall
1orcibly the evidence adduced in the
Ohio investigation into that company
in 1898 They rscite the same ola story
of cutthroat methods in crushing out
competition. They ailege not only
violations of the state anti trust laws
through the parceliug out of territ
orv among subordinate companies, but
the taking of rebates, the sale of in
ferior oils with the consent of strange
ly complaisant inspectors and gen
eral policy which stopped at nothing
TO stamp ont rival concerns. The cor
resDondence and other documentary
evidence on which the charges are
based tell of the establishing of dunn
ruy independent companies, the ruth
less cutting of prices, the use of brjb-
cry to get Information from the en-
nloves uf rivals and all the other coel-
Give methods known to monopoliess
While the Standard Oil company is
fighting investigation begun BY other
states and Vice Presi lent Rogers is as
surlng the New York supreme court
that the concerns of the company are
purely private affairs" the company
has been leaving 10 stone unturned to
force the public everywhere into the
grip of MONOPOLY. 1t has hesitated at
no form of oppression that might be
necessary to drive honest competitors
out of business. With its syst EN- of
espionagesand it's underground chan
nels of information it has kept watch
on every dealer, from the wholesaler
to the peddler. prepared to crush him
at any cost.
The evidence which is now in the
hands of Commissioner of Corporal
lous Gar field, is to be made the basis
of federal action. In addition. it is
announced. proceedings will be brought
20 GUST the Standard Oil company
from Illinois. The policy of bounding
competitors out of the business may
seem a "private affair." to Mr.. ROg
ers, but to the majorltyof the people,
who eventually. suffer from the pract-
ice, it is permanently a public affair
and form of criminal activity.
