PUNCHES AT THE STANDARD

Oil could get that .slittle villa in
the woods,.'' where the president
catches his breath for a new round,
it would need to be incased in STEEL
armor plate.
Chicago Record-Herald: The
Standard Oil company's attorneys
declare that they will prepare a state
ment in which Commissioner Gar
fields allegations will be emphatical-
" sdenied. This is almost terrible,
IL true.
Baltimore American: The result
of the presidents Standard Oil mes
sage is the awakening Of the great
corporations to a feeling of respect
for public opinion. 1t no longer
treats charges with silent contempt.
Elaborate explanations and defenses
are made, and it will in the future
employ the services of a press agent.
Its officers now appear to doubt that
they are greater than the govern
ment OF the United States.
Springfield Republican: just as
the Standard Oil officials are assert
ing with solemn face that their
business is entirely ignorant OF rail-
road iayOrs not open to their COM
petitors, the sugar trust is presented
by a federal grand jury as an habi-
tual beneficiary of secret rates and.
rebates. We are therefore asked to
believe that the sugar trust is smarter
OF more u~nscrupuloLs than the oil
trust, and this is asking almost too
much.
New York Times: There can be
no retreat now. The president must

" angered by a fiasco like that OF the
Star Route prosecutions. II Mr..
Garfield is right about his proofs the

Tor to law, for it has not been dis

The -ex-employes Of the company

the Iapacity Of the trust is aston

forced to give preferential rebates ;
dummy companies formed to throt-

trigue and chicanery practiced.

any wonder that the Standard has
to such mammoth proportions

TO PRISON FOR REBAr1Ne.

Omaha Bee: The senate has con-
formed to the very general opinion
by adding Imprisonment to the pen
alties for granting rebates carried by
the house rate bill which left that
phase of the matter as it was in the
Elkins act. The original interstate
commerce law of 1887 made rebating
punishable with both fine and i'm
prisonment, but experience during
ten years caused many honestly to
believe that more evidence would be
Forthcoming for the prosecution of
y%iolators ii punishment were restrict
ed to heavy fines. and the Interstate
Commerce Commission more than
once recommended such alteration.
Whether the change in tue Elkins
act was made in Sincere compliance
with this view or to weaken the
law, the fact remains that the re-
suit has been unsatisfactory, and a
strong popular demand has arisen for
restoration of the prison penalty.
The senate amendment goes even
further and prescribes imprisonment
and fines for those who receive or
demand as well as for those vino
grant rebates. The truth. doubtless
is that the mere statute book penalty
was not at bottom the cause of fail
ure to prevent rebate violations. The
real trouble for more than a decade
and a half was failure to enforce the
penalties either in their original or
on their amended form under the Ell
kins act. The new law will 20 on
the statue book under entirely differ
ent conditions. There will now be
back Of the imprisonment penalty a
pronounced public sentiment and
a changed attitude of government
in all its branches responsive to such
sentiment.
There is reason, therefore, to hope
that the threat OF prison bars, now
becoming real and present offenders,
will materially strengthen the arm
OF the law for the correction of one
OF the gravest transportation abuses.
